I am still new to Nintex ... I have created a Nintex Form and Nintex Workflow.  The workflow sends emails to related parties when the initial "item" is created and each time the form is updated.There are certain individuals that need to receive the emails, which isn't a problem since they are rather static and I have been able to add those individuals without any issues.The problem is that we want to include the creator or initiator to receive emails, but I don't seem to recognize an option in the TO and CC.How would I go about making sure the initiator receives the emails?Thank you

How can I copy a Excel docoment from a fileshare (have acces from SharePoint to it) in to a folder in SharePoint subsite

Hi, I created a form in nintex and I put some fields as a lookup list, the first one is normal, but the second one is filtered depending on the value of the first lookup field, at this point everything was ok, the form actually works, then I tried to create the columns in the sharepoint list to be conected to the fields in nintex but I got trouble when I tried to connect the lookup list. When I tried I see only a number in the column what I believe its that number is the ID of the source list.Hope you can help me out with the issue

I have two multiline text fields on a responsive form in my SharePoint 2013 Team Site.There aren't any rules on either field.I have the form embedded in a web part in another area of the site.When someone tries to add information to the multi-line fields, nothing is saved and the fields show as blank.I've scratched my head and tried several different options but so far nothing's worked.All the other fields (single line of text, checkboxes, dates, etc.) work fine for other users.--With some additional testing, it's somehow tied directly to the web part version of the form. Employees are able to complete the form directly from the list but not via the web part.

I have a Form where I generate some short codes using build string function for marketing team.In the form I have a control called "IO_Number" which  has its master in list "IO_Number_Master".I also have a control named Category which has its masters in list "Category_Master"There are  9 Categories where each has its Corresponding IO Number.Each year IO Number changes for those 9 categories.now I want the IO_Number control to show only the IO Number option in the drop down corresponding to the year and category selected.In Sql we can write the query as: Select IO_Number from IO_Number_Master           where year=year && Category==Category.now which formula to use in calculated field ?

Hi,I have been looking over the forum for a solid answer on this and have not come across one yet. We are seeing this error occur sporadically on one of our SharePoint lists. All of the users have contribute access to the site as well.Would someone be able to assist with this?Thanks!Greg

Hello,I am doing some testing with nintex cloud free trial which is great, however I am not able to create a connection to send information from my nintex form (cloud) into my sharepoint list in O365. The connection does not allow me to get into my sharepoint site and see the lists.ThanksWalter

 Symptoms The question posed here has to deal specifically with configuring a hyperlink control to point to list items in a non-editable list view. What is being attempted is that a view has been created that lists all previously submitted items in a list, and at the end of each list item a hyperlink that will redirect to that specific list item. Diagnoses While there is the ability to use a hyperlink control in a non-editable view to create a static value to link to, there is no way to set any rules to populate this control with the necessary data. Resolution Although there isn't a way to create rules to populate a hyperlink control with data at runtime, there is a way to dynamically set this control to create links to each list item. To do this follow these steps:1. In a List View, drag a hyperlink control onto the view.2. Select the newly created column.3. In the Properties of the control, find Expressions, click the ellipsis on this property to create a new expression.4. In the "Se

 Question Is there a way to set a control on a non-editable list view to link each item in the list to its respective list item? Answer To set a hyperlink control in this manner do the following:   1. In a List View, drag a hyperlink control onto the view:        2. Select the newly created column.   3. 3. In the Properties of the control, find Expressions, click the ellipsis on this property to create a new expression:      4. In the "Select an Expression for the Hyperlink Control" wizard, click Add:        5. Name the new expression (for example "Hyperlink").6. In the "Edit Expression" wizard, notice that there is an empty box in "Expression Details":        7. In the context browser, expand the view and expand the SmartObject tied to the view 8. Find the "Link to Item" field, drag this into the empty text box:        9. Click OK.10. Click OK on the Expression Editor.11. Finish and check in the view.   After you have configured this view, run the view, you should see that all items t

Hello,In Nintex Workflow 2013 for on-premises, how exactly can you automate the copying of files from a source SharePoint 2013 document library to a destination network drive or file share? Or, is this a limitation of Nintex Workflow as of October 2016?PowerShell option:I saw a post for doing a windows scheduler PowerShell command, but that's outside of Nintex. Link: powershell - Schedule the copy of a document to a network location - SharePoint Stack Exchange  Nintex WF had an action for it:I see that in 2014 at least, Nintex Workflow used to have an action dedicated to this called "Copy to file share", but it doesn't appear to exist as of 2016. Link:  Copy to file share ; Another link: Failed to copy item to a file share. Error Code: (67) The network name cannot be found.  Am I missing something?Thanks!

 Symptoms  When trying to create new SmartObject from a SQL Stored Procedure in K2 blackpearl 4.6.7 and 4.6.8 the following error message appears: [Stored_Procedure_Name] contains a Property with the same name 'Column_name'.     Diagnoses    The Stored Procedure looks like a simple IF/ELSE statement that outputs either all or some columns:     This happens when a duplicate property is created. Then the property name does not get differentiated by implementing an incremental value. In other words IF and ELSE statements SELECT the same columns.   Resolution There is no fix for that, but currently the item is being worked on for 4.7.0. With that being said there are two workarounds. One being inserting the data into a table variable and querying the table variable:      Another one is inserting extra code underneath the AS keyword after variables are declared as shown below:     

Hi, We run the old Version of Nintex Workflow 2013 (release 3.1.2.0 - International). The SharePoint CU is from March 2018. We were told that this could cause Problems and therefore I would like to go up to the present Version of NINTEX Workflow 2013.I am not sure if I can go directly to the actual release (Product version: 3.3.1.0 or almost the Product version: 3.2.5.0 from January 2018). If not, how to reach the present release?What is important to know?Thank you very much and have a nice dayBest RegardsJoel

 Symptoms Is it possible to be able to import an Excel or CSV file type into a SMO from a list view or to export to an Excel or CSV file from a list view. I've seen community posts about the Excel broker but everything is tailored towards BlackPearl and not Appit or Sharepoint Diagnoses I have linked the ticket to two feature requests namely: Feature (To have a an ability to Export a ListView grid to Excel) and Feature (To have an ability to Import from Excel to a ListView grid)We also discussed the issue on the ticket with our OPS team and they mentioned that custom controls are not supported on Appit Resolution Feature request logged  

I have a form that has calculated fields.  While the field is correct in the "Edit View" of the form, in the "Display View" of the form, the field is not displaying the calculation.  The "recalculate formula on view mode" is set to "yes."Does anyone know how I should fix or troubleshoot this?

I have a WF that pauses until the due date field and then sends out an email and updates the task status.  Works great....except if a user decides to change the due date which is permissible.  My issue is that even though the Pause Until is linked to a Look Up field called the Due Date the Pause Until value does not change with the new due date value until a subsequent modification is done in the list to another field.My assumption is that the Pause Until does not change immediately since the new due date value has not been committed to the list yet.  When a subsequent change is made on another field the due date field has the new value available and thus the Pause Until event reflects the new date done 2 modifications ago.Obviously I can not depend on a subsequent modification to update my Pause Until event.  Any suggestions ?  Note the WF is set to run when a Modification is done...thx

I have a list on SharePoint 2013 which has drop down questions/fields based on a person's job title. One of these questions is to have the requestor input their managers name. I have no way of making this drop down question/field mandatory that I know of.  When a user does not input the manager name the workflow errs because it cannot send the required task to the manager.Is there a way I can edit the list and restart the workflow from where it erred?I am using Nintex 2013.Thanks,Suzanne

I have a workflow running in a library on SharePoint Online.  It ran on some documents and is "suspended".  After fixing the workflow, I'd like to restart all of the suspended workflows. Is there an easy way to do this without doing this individually on each document?

I'd like to be able to send a thank you message when a task status has been updated to complete but if it's still pending or in another stages, then I'd like a reminder email to be sent out every "x" days. How can I do this with Nintex Workflow 2013? My current setup will still send reminders even after status is in the complete stage. Here's how my current workflow looks and it's probably set up totally wrong. I haven't had much of a detailed guidance posting on here .. so this may be my last post. :/ thanks!Break down: The run if is if status is changed to completed, then a notification gets sent to assignee and assigner thanking them for their completed task.I'd like the task reminder to only run, if the status is still anything less than completed but to stop if status is changed to completed. How can I accomplish this? Thanks!

Hello,I have been consistently facing the same below issue since I started working with site workflows (kicked-off manually). I have a site workflow that queries 2 lists and then is supposed to create about 5k items in a 3rd list based on info taken from said 2 lists. Following the best practices/debugging practices I have seen in this forum and elsewhere, I implemented pauses:- 1 min at the very start of the workflow, before it even does anything- 1 min after each 200th iteration/item createdWhat I have noticed:- the first pause sometimes (50% of time) taking as long as 20 min instead of 1 min- the first pause at the 200th iteration almost consistently (80% of time) taking about 10-15 min and the workflow consistently failing after that pause is complete with nothing more than "An error occurred in..."We have a lot of other list workflows for which I have never seen this issue.Any help with troubleshooting the issue would be much appreciated. I have seen somewhere that it is something
