Recently I realized in my environment - The timer job named Nintex Live Forms Manager in SharePoint 2013 failing at least 2 to 4 times in an hour. (This job runs every 2 minutes). I can see the Error Message as: The server was unable to process the request due to an internal error. For more information about the error, either turn on IncludeExceptionDetailInFaults (either from ServiceBehaviorAttribute or from the <serviceDebug> configuration behavior) on the server in order to send the exception information back to the client, or turn on tracing as per the Microsoft .NET Framework SDK documentation and inspect the server trace logs.Same issue I see on both DEV & PRD environments, so I enabled verbose logging on DEV and tried to look into the logs but nothing helpful found.Can any one help me or point me to the right direction to research/ troubleshoot.Thanks,Soni

Is there a way for the default Nintex Workflow from address include a "nice name" as part of the address. I have set the address to be workflow@domain.com in Global Settings > From Address.It would be nice for it to come from "Online Forms <workflow@domain.com>". Is there a way to do that?

Hello Nintex community,I found a Thread that is related to an issue i have (https://community.nintex.com/community/build-your-own/blog/2016/06/13/having-a-working-and-published-document-using-convert-document-action?commentID=15154&et=blogs.comment.created#comment-15154 from ‌I created a workflow that starts on "new item created". The workflow converts an uploaded docx to pdf.In the regular Expression I create the Name for the new document:After that I convert the document to PDF:After the conversion the original *.docx file gets deleted.Now to my Problem:Because the workflow runs after am item is created, it starts when the converted pdf is stored in the library.Now this started workflow Errors directly...and the Workflow history is empty:I made an "RUN-IF" at the beginning that checks if the document Ends with ".docx".But the workflow still runs and Errors.Any Ideas or hints?Thank you.David

Hi AllHope someone can help me, as I'm struggling with regular expressions. (Nintex on premises, SharePoint 2013).In my workflow I have a flexi task which asks a Reviewer to choose an outcome and add a comment. I then have a 'Set field value' control to update these comments on the original form:This adds the comments to the form in the following format, which looks rather messy and difficult to read:Lastname, Firstname (Outcome) Date Timestamp - Date Timestamp (Lastname, Firstname) CommentsI would like the above to look like this:Lastname, Firstname (Outcome) Date Timestamp:CommentsI've tried using the regular expression, with guidance from this remove approver comments thread, but I'm stuck.I tried the following pattern but when I run it, the result is the same as the input texts[w-]*s[w-]*s(NotsRequired).*Can anyone help with the correct expression or highlight what I'm doing wrong?ThanksSean

Hi Forum!I am trying to query a list called Systems using a filter against the system owner.  My problem - I received a new requirement that System Owner which is a person field, needs to allow multiple selections.Before this, my query was easy - filter by systemowner  ID.  Now I'm not sure what to do.  I can construct a comma (or semi colon, or whatever) delimited list of user Ids of the owners, but I don't know how to use that in my where clause.  I have tried a comma delimited and semicolon delimited list of IDs in a query that looks like:<Query> <Lists> <List ID="{235E8F30-0228-4ED9-897E-139662390380}" /> </Lists> <ViewFields> <FieldRef Name="ID" /> </ViewFields> <Where> <And> <Eq> <FieldRef Name="ApplicationState" /> <Value Type="Text">Active</Value> </Eq> <Eq> <FieldRef Name="ApplicationOwner" LookupId="TRUE" /> <Value Type="User">{WorkflowVariable:currAppOwnerIdMulti}</Value&

I recently updated my Nintex Enterprise forms from version to . After this upgrade, the time format on the Time control displays in 12hr not 24hr format. This is causing a lot of problems since we have rules that check Start Date and End date before submission

I noticed a difference with the way attachments open on a SharePoint list versus a Nintex Form.  I'm hoping someone else has noticed this and has a workaround.SharePoint ListEnter a new item on the list, add an attachment (Word doc) and click SaveView that item and click on attachmentFile opens in Microsoft Word Web AppNintex FormEnter a new item on the list, add an attachment (Word doc) and click SaveView that item and click on attachmentAttachment downloads and then opens in the client applicationNo changes have been made to the settings of the list other than customizing it with a Nintex Form.  Our users are used to files opening in the browser and it's a little inconvenient to download and open in the client.  Any suggestions/feedback is greatly appreciated!

Hi,I've added the "Select all" and "Clear all" buttons in order to have that functionality on a Multiselect multi choice field.The code I have for both is:Clear allNWF$('input:checkbox').not(this).prop('checked', this.checked);Select allNWF$('input:checkbox').not(this).prop('checked', true);Which is working fine. However If I add another field like that it affects all multichoice fields... How can I change this code in order to affect only one particular multichoice field?Checking on the source code of this form I got this data from this particular Multichoice field:<div data-UniqueId="c0a89c70-0781-4bd4-8623-f73675005e02" data-ControlName="Activity" class=" nf-filler-control nf-filler-highlightonvalidationerror  nf-resizable nf-resizable" FormControlId="e1d46371-c4a5-4f09-a77a-c0128ce1f206" data-multiselectcontrol="True" style="overflow:visible;height:85px;width:830px;top:705px;left:0px;z-index:100;background-color:;" data-controlid="e1d46371-c4a5-4f09-a77a-c0128ce1f206" data-formc

How to schedule monthly or weekly workflow using SharePoint online Communication or any other site? I created Site Workflow but can't find the option of scheduling workflow under my tenant or Site collection. Please advise. 

I am very new to Nintex workflows, so I have a dumb question. I am creating a workflow for a SharePoint list, and can't seem to figure something out. Is it possible to use a variable created within the workflow, in a condition (within a "Set a condition" action)? I have two variables...the first is of type People or Group, and the second is Yes/No. I basically want to check to see if they have data, then perform some action, else perform another action. Is this possible using user workflow variables, or can this be done only with fields from the SharePoint list?

We send out a newsletter to all our staff on a weekly basis with various amounts of information. Various members of staff update the document over the course of the week before it is distributed on a Thursday. Each newsletter has several 'common' aspects - issue number, date and site.I've created a site workflow (I think site is the appropriate one) to 'create item' based on a content type (the template for the newsletter) in a newsletter document library and add the issue number to the name. The issue number is taken from a variable and inputted on the start form.I'm aware on how to use the 'create item' and 'update document' on separate workflows, but can this be done on the same one? I.e can it create an document, and then update the same document? When adding the 'update document' part on the workflow I see the following:I'm not sure what to put in the Source URL and Output URL.Additionally, I know there is the functionality for a workflow to create a folder, is there a way for it

Hi,I've got c550 employees working within my organisation, however only approximately 50 of us use our network with access to SharePoint. I wanted to find a way that enables us to be able to quickly email all staff (even on external networks).After conducting some research, I managed to do this by having a list of every employees name, department and email address. I created a new workflow on an 'Announcements' app that used 'Query List' to get all those email addresses into a variable and then a 'Send Notification' that takes the title and body of the announcement, puts it into an email and sends it to that variable.This initially worked (even with an attachment) but after doing them a second and third time I started getting the 'workflow failed to start' error causing me to end the workflow. This happened several times - with and without attachments.Originally I thought the amount of email address were too large for the workflow to handle so I broke it down via departments and had a

Hello,In Nintex Form displayed Choice control as "Drop-Down Menu".  There are many option choices in Drop-Down menu.  It allows only one selection, however, as per the requirement multiple selection should be enabled.  Is multiple selection possible in Choice control - Drop-down option?Here I have to make clear that, in SharePoint a Choice type column has created with display choice as "Drop-Down Menu".   I can not use other options like "Checkboxes" which allows multiple selection since there are many choice items in this column.  Please find the screen shot of SharePoint column settings.Cheers:)Sunil

Has anyone managed to use a relative URL, or say the CommonWebURL for the source field? It appears that only absolute URLs are accepted.It's a pain to update the URL when working amongst dev, test and prod environments

Hello Devs and Community,In our DEV environment we have created a number of forms and started adding them to pages using the List Form Web Part provided by Nintex.  When we set them up and configure them the forms are not being displayed on the scree.  We do the exact same thing in our Prod environment and everything works completely fine.  Then only difference is the version of Nintex Forms as in Dev we have going to 4.3.0.11 from 4.3.0.1. We also aren't receiving any error messages in the developers tools for IE or Chrome either to help in leading us to a possible reason why the form is not being displayed. Down below I have images of the page with how it looks and that the web part is on there and its configurations.  Any thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated.

I have a form part way down a page, and when viewing the page in Internet Explorer, it causes the page to scroll down to my form upon pageload.  Can someone help me with the code to prevent the page from scrolling down to the first form field after page load? It only occurs in IE. Not Chrome.

I need to purge "running" workflows, where the list item has been deleted.  I found this blog(https://community.nintex.com/thread/1628?commentID=3341#comment-3341) that indicates you go to "site settings" then "purge workflow data."But the query is pre-set to be "Completed, Cancelled or Errored" workflows.  There does not seem to be a way to include "Running" workflows.Does anyone have any suggestions on how to do this?

When you create a List View in Nintex Forms it has a section for filtering, and within that section is the ability to filter by a control's value. This is useful since if you had a textbox and named it you could filter a column in the list with whatever is in that textbox.The downside is that the option only allows for 1 field to be filtered so I'm resorting to CAML to filter by 2-3 columns. What is the syntax for entering a variable name into this CAML dialog? The variable / named control is a part of the form and not promoted since it can change frequently and is just used for lookups. The Insert Reference button along the top only gives properties of the item, not variable or named controls within the form itself.Syntax for variables and named controls would be appreciated. In the below example I'm filtering by a column called Timing and I've filtered it fine when I just put in the raw text of an example. For now I just need to know what goes in place of the {insert variable name he

I have a Nintex Form and Nintex Workflows that run off of the Nintex Form.  I am not sure exactly what is causing this to happen, but I am finding that a 'Status' field is being cleared out.  I had one instance where another field was edited on the form, and upon hitting 'Submit' the 'Status' field was cleared out.  Most instances seem to occur when a workflow runs.  The workflow runs successfully, but the 'Status' field does not have the value in it.  ***The workflows, at the end of the workflow are supposed to update the 'Status' field with a particular value.  The workflow shows it successfully completed that task, but the field is blank.I have noticed in other threads there have been other instances within workflows that are supposed to update a field and they are not updating.  I have since gone back into my workflows and added a 'Commit pending changes' action after all the 'Update Items' actions.  What I am still concerned with, is how the 'Status' field got cleared out when the

I have 12 "yes/no" fields that are "available slots."  Once a person selects a "slot,"  I would like the "slot" that was selected not to display anymore on subsequent new items/forms.  I know how to hide directly on the form but this is more along the lines of hiding or disabling a field that someone else has selected.Anyone have any thoughts or ideas for the most efficient way to achieve this?
