Hello,I have a sharepoint 2013 list with a few columns. With SharePoint Designer, I've created a external content type to get some database informations from Navision. I have 4 columns from a database view.One of the columns is connected to the Nintex Forms. The other 3 columns are visible in the list overview.Is it also possible to show the 3 columns in the forms view? The column "Nummer" is the external data column.
All of our workflows broke after installing the following Windows UpdatesWe resolved this issue for all of our workflows bar one, as per Microsoft’s solution - https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4465015/sharepoint-workflows-stop-after-cve-2018-8421-security-updateThis workflow includes a Lazy Approval step. The workflow can be approved if the workflow task is used directly for the approval. Although a Due to heavy load, the latest workflow operation has been queued. It will attempt to resume at a later time message is displayed. After a short period of time the workflow is approved and completes successfully.The tasks hangs on pending if Lazy Approval is used to attempt to approve the workflow. The Lazy Approval is received as evidenced by the response in the Comment field of the workflow task but this never actually approves the workflow.After the workflow has reached this point nothing is able to approve it.

I am building a workflow using Nintex workflow 2016 with SharePoint 2016 for our client.The client requirement is to send individual task for all group members with "Approval" and "Reject" options. The workflow should move to the next step only after 10 days after sending individual task for all group members with "Approval" and "Reject" options. All members should be allowed either "Approval" or "Reject" for the next 10 days. The workflow should send regular reminders.I am using "Assign Flexi task" for the above requirement which is most suitable. But the "Behaviour" options are not allowing me to achieve the exact requirement (All members should be allowed either "Approval" or "Reject" for the next 10 days.)I am using the "Majority decides" option but moves to next step in the workflow after majority of the members are either use "Approval" or "Reject"( before the mandatory 10 days as mentioned in the requirement). Due to this limitation nearly 48% of members are not able either use
Good Day All,I have built a workflow to push me backed up into a corner, We are using Nintex 2016 Enterprise On-Prem.We have created a Document management system that allows for us to attach Signed Documents on the Request data control in the workflow, We then save the attachment url on the document list column and then view the attachment directly from the Workflow task library. However these go missing when the timer job does workflow cleanup. We want to copy these attachments from the workflow "Request data" control to a PDF library, But I am not sure how to do this and I have tried several methods and none have seemed to work.Can someone please advise if you have a idea how I can achieve this.Regards

Hi all,I have created a custom Nintex Forms control (which inherits from NintexFormControl) and generates a Select2 enabled multi select.When the user selects items the form control needs more space, but how do I do that?What is the correct NWF function to call to get all the form controls below to move down and the form itself to resize?For added context, here is the HTML that is generated:<div class="nf-form-input nf-section nf-filler-control nf-filler-highlightonvalidationerror nf-resizable nf-resizable"><div class="nf-filler-control-border"><div class="nf-filler-control-inner"> <select multiple=""style="display: none" ...></select><span class="select2 select2-container ..." ...><!-- STUFF IN HERE GROWS --></span></div></div></div>Update: Here is an example of how it looks when there are too many items selected in the multi select:In this example, this happens rig

I have not been able to find a solution to this question here, so hopefully it hasn't already been asked. I simply need to remove "i:0#.w|" from a username in a Nintex Forms text control. Is there an inline function or something that will allow me to do this?Thank you!
Is there a way to determine within a Nintex form if a user is the member of a SharePoint group? I would like to hide a panel unless the current user is a member of the admin group.

Unfortunately I am not able to get values into that column, I always receice error notifications:My questions is:Which type is used for managed metadata metadata? Is "Threading" the right choice?Here are some example error messages I already have received:[Kanal0]: Die angegebene GUID ist im Terminologiespeicher nicht vorhanden.Required field 'Kanal(Invalid)' must be specified.Some parameters failed the validation check. - [InputMetaDataXml] : Value 'Alle Monitore' for field 'Kanal' type 'Guid' is not in a correct format.Cheersmai-kel#o365 actions create item;

Hello, I am trying to use 'Copy to SharePoint' action in a Task Workflow List (created from a Flexi Task) to copy the Attachment File (uploaded by the approver in the Flexi Task) to a Library. So I went and create a workflow on the Workflow Task List and in that workflow I included the 'Copy to SharePoint' action. The workflow runs and it is marked as complete with no error, but it does no copy anything. It seems like the 'Copy to SharePoint' just does not work when used in a Workflow Task List.The reason why I need a 'Copy to SharePoint' action in a Workflow Task List is because 'Copy to SharePoint' Action copies the attachment file and works as expected when I add the action to the Workflow List (List where the workflow lives, not to be confused with the Workflow Task List resulting from the Flexi Task).However, if I use the 'Copy to SharePoint' within the (Main) List Workflow, the 'Copy to SharePoint' action copies only the Attachments/Files uploaded in the (Initial) List Form, so

I have a Nintex Workflow that uses a FlexiTask. It works great, but a question came up regarding permissions. The Workflow uses several Flexi Tasks, but the first individual who creates the list item also attaches several documents to the list item. When the item flows thru to other departments for approval it was noted that the downstream departments have the ability to delete the attachments from the list.For a Nintex Workflow what are the permissions required to approve a Nintex Workflow, yet NOT allow a user to delete an attachment. Would I need to create 2 SharePoint groups - 1 with Edit and the other a customized permissions that does not allow deletes ?
Hi,I am in the process of migrating a workflow from SP2010/Nintex Workflow 2010 into SP2016 on prem with Feature Pack 2 and Nintex Workflow 2016.The workflow uses the Copy to sharepoint action to copy list item attachments from a list into a document library for later processing.This works fine in 2010 but in 2016, using the same settingsCreate folder structure - yesCopy item meta data - yesThe attachments are not being created in the document library, the action completes without error. I have tried using both the "Select a location andd the Enter a URL" options for destination. I have also have site collection admin access.The source list and destination library are in the same site.Any ideas, could this be an issue with our SP2016 setup, if so what could I pass onto our staff that manage our system?Thanks
When using a Nintex Responsive form, I cannot get an OR rule for two conditions to work to hide a panel on a form. It may be because is is a user-based field for both conditions, but that's what I need, and I imagine this is common enough, but I just can't find anything that addresses it.I would like, when editing the form, that only the form's named person (field is Name - Outlook) can see X panel, or only the form's named Supervisor can see X panel. I am using Item Properties for both Name - Outlook and Supervisor in my rule; however, I do not know if this matters, but Supervisor is a Named Control on the form, but for company-related reasons, the Name - Outlook is not a Named Control on the form. There is an Employee Named Control that is a drop-down list, and the name chosen on that list is tied to the Name - Outlook field, which is not on the form. We have to do that because there isn't always an employee but there is always a supervisor. My original formula to hide the panel in q
I am new to Nintex workflow, I am trying to build a form that need to be routed according to 2 selections. the first one is decides what part of the form needs to be filled in and will route the form only on 3 of the 4 selections. the second selection only applies to 1 of the 4 first selections and routes the form to a person base on a list of cities. I have figured out the first part. but I can't figure out how to build the variable and query the list for the second selection. Where can I find information on how to do this?
Hello Support,I am trying to use the Nintex Workflow Cloud to connect the local SFMTA SQL Server database to get the data. However, I got the error message below.Do you have any suggestion for connecting the local database from the Nintex Workflow Cloud? Thank you,Yong
I have created a Nintex form and set it as a content type - so that the form can go into multiple sites and I only need to maintain the form in one locations and sites will automatically be updated with changes made at the content type level.Now I would like to create a workflow - in the same idea - manage the workflow once (as the form is)There does not appear to be a way to create a content type workflow associated with the form. - it appears to only offer OOB SharePoint workflows.I then started looking at Site workflows - but I don't know how to get the Site workflow to cycle through lists on multiple subsites.Has anyone done this successfully?Thank you,Barb Pinhey
I have a email library. When the email is received SP reads the email body and stores the email text in a column. The whole of the email body text is pulled but I only need the first few sentences. How do set up a reg ex to only extract text from the email body up to a certain word.
I have faced this issue when i am trying to send an Image from the Send Mail control or the User Task Control (Part where we configure custom mail for the user). What i want to do is send an image file in the body of mail content. I do not see an attach file control or anyother way to do so. My Approach: I write the content in an Outlook mail with the images and everything, copy and paste directly on the Body Pane of the Mail control in K2.The paste happens but once i click ok i get the error message. Any assistacne appreciated!!
