Hello All,I am a newbie to Nintex workflow and I hope to get some help or suggestions.  I currently have a workflow I'm creating with Nintex WF for SharePoint 2013 on-premise.  The WF is a document approval worflow.  Once the document is uploaded, a notification gets sent to the Approver in the process and the statuses they have to select from are 'Approval' 'Approval with Comment', 'Further discussion needed' and 'Disapproved'.  Depending on what is selected, an email notification is sent to the next person in the process for review and they have the same statuses to select from.  I was able to do this with a switch action.  What I really need and want to do is to set a 3 days to review time limit for the document when the notification is sent.  I tried using flexi but I got all the more confused.  I know this can be done but I think my approach isn't the right one.  Any idea of how I can send a 3 day reminder to review the document once it's been uploaded and once the approver has up

Using Chrome Version 67.0.3396.99 (Official Build) (64-bit) I have added both a label and a rich text (2nd attempt) control to my form. The control contains a table to display a number of field references from the current list.  I can view and manipulate the control in the Designer, it also appears to save and publish -- however, upon saving it the 1st time, when I open the settings of the control - it is blank; no table, no content. I am able to update this control using IE 11.  Is this a BUG?

In SharePoint 2010 this was not a problem; but now that we're migrating to SharePoint 2016, we are having problems reconfiguring the Create Item in another site action in Nintex workflows. We need to create items in another site in a separate web application/site collection (like we currently do in 2010). Was this feature deprecated in 2016?The error we get is:"cannot access site at [url to other site]"   -- to elaborate, we get this after entering the url of the site (in other web app) and hitting the "refresh list" button.What are we missing?SharePoint Server 2016 (on prem) v: 16.0.4471.10002 WFE server + dist cache,2 App server + search,1 sql server (clustered)Nintex WF version: 4.2.0.10Thank you!-Rob#unexpectedbehavior

Hi, The new Signature Control (NWC Release 51) seems to require a default storage location. In my test, I used OneDrive for Business. After submitting the form, I attach the signature to a newly created SharePoint List Item. Appereantly, a copy of the signature remains stored in O4B. Does anybody have found a way to delete the file in O4B?

I know that calculated columns don't work on Nintex forms. So my question is, how would I get the following calculated column formula converted into a calculated value on a form?Calculated column formula: =TODAY()+(7-WEEKDAY(TODAY(),2))

I have a custom list with data in SharePoint I want to create a workflow for or convert my SharePoint Designer workflow.

Hi there,I'm working on an O365 Form / Workflow which, up until about a month and a half ago, worked well.Now, the attachment (single attachment) stopped allowing us to identify it through the workflow, so I went to investigate.I found that the Attachments control (the only one on the very simple, responsive form) blanked out its Name & Title for some reason. So, I typed in Name & Title again - Attachments for both.Now Title will stick after a publish, but Name clears out every time, regardless of if I enter Attachments or RhiaAttachments or whatever else.I am bamboozled. Thoughts? I need to get the name of the attachments so I can create a URL, and I'm doing that in my Query XML (NFFormData) via /FormVariables/Attachments - but of course that won't work unless I can name the dang control.Thanks for any help you can offer.Rhiae: fabulous update: deleting the attachments control & re-adding it shows it, by default, with Attachments as the NAME and no default title. As soon a

I have built a workflow that builds an outlook meeting request and sends via attachment, and all works well for the most part. Except when people from different time zones open the attachment. In that case it sets the calendar item for the local time. I'd like to find a way to force the EST into the request so that everyone shows up to the meeting at the same time. Anyone know the iCalendar syntax and how to do this?

We are interested in using Nintex in our environment, but the business is not liking the cost. Is there an alternative/better cost when using workflow cloud? Can it be used with an on-prem environment that is not externally facing?

I am trying to create a form with multiple File Upload control on it. Everything is working as expected when my browser is either Firefox or Chrome, but when using IE (11), I am experiencing some error.Here are some of my observation when using IE (11):The File Upload control cannot add more than 1 file (Maximum number of file set to 10)The only working File Upload control is the bottom most control, when other controls has file, it then throws the error above.Can anyone confirm above issues are known issue? Or is there a workaround on this? Thanks in advance.

In a Trial tenant, I followed the instructions to create a token, but when I try to test the Platform API, i get a 401 Unauthorized "You couldn't be authorized" message. How can I troubleshoot?

I am using a NWC Trial Tenant and I'm not seeing all of the same connectors for the Default Files storage location as shown on Connectors . Is this a limiitation of this type of tenant?

Is is possible to prevent workflow creators from using specific connectors, e.g. block the ability to save a file to Box, Google Drive?

Good day!So I am having trouble using lookup function for the calculated value so I decided to try and select all the items in my listlookup with this code:NWF.FormFiller.Events.RegisterAfterReady(function (){     let row = NWF$(this).closest('.nf-repeater-row');     row.find('.listLookUpCSS option:selected').prop('selected', true);});‍‍‍‍‍Doesn't seem to work unless it is going to be a button click. Or can anyone explain how to get the length of a list lookup?

We are considering building another custom workflow action and need the same HTML editor that is part of the Send notification action.  Does anyone know if this is possible and or have some sample code?Thanks in advance,Eric Halsey

Hi,I have a collection variable, and need to get the last value of collection Variable in nintex Workflow. My Collegues have used for loop and assigned the value to a a new variable 'x', thus when loop ends the last value will be stored in the new variable 'x'. Is there any easy way to do it?

Hi all,I've noticed that in couple of actions in SP/Nintex 2010 Nintex processes spaces provided and turns them into question marks. why?!!!Here is some details:1. Collect Data action through Lazy approval (Request Data action)I have numerous actions built into workflows where the users are asked to Provide data, then this data gets processed and sent in emails and updates fields. The users are asked to reply to those tasks though Lazy approval rather than logging into sharepoint and completing the task. The user typically will get an email like this that has the input form at the bottom of the email. The user will respond and provide the data between brackets.What I discovered is that there is little spaces between those square brackets that if the user ignores to delete them all, then those spaces will be in the updated field as question marks and will look like this "?11111?"2. Create AD user account action.A new employee form that contains firstname and lastname takes this data and

I have to set a variable with the content of person or group field using a lookup list where the condition is with other numeric field of this list. then I have to use this variable to put in the body of one email. The list is not of the current item.I try to do this with Set Variable box and Lookup list setting but in the email this variable is empty.Could someone help to do that?Thanks in advanceSolved.Thanks

Hi,I'm trying to pre-fill the date & time for a date/time control on my form by using a button on my form. I don't want to use a default column value and I want the user to be able to pre-fill the field on a per-case basis.What I've done so far is:Created a button on the form, with the action of 'JavaScript'Given the date/time control a Client IDCreated the following function within the 'Custom JavaScript' section in Form Settings:function setDateTime(){ var fullDate = new Date()var twoDigitMonth = ("0" + (fullDate.getMonth() + 1)).slice(-2)var hours = fullDate.getHours();var minutes = fullDate.getMinutes();var currentDate = fullDate.getDate() + "/" + twoDigitMonth + "/" + fullDate.getFullYear();if (hours   < 10) { hours   = "0" + hours;   }/** Round down to the nearest 5 minutes.

Hello,My company gave me the task of digitizing and simplifying our travel request system. I have a nintex form that has all of the info required for travel in it. When the form is submitted, the approval workflow kicks off. They would like me to implement the ability to make changes to the travel request after it has been submitted for approval. Can somebody please give me some ideas as to how this might work? Or any tips on how to go about doing this?

Hello,I have date fields inside repeating rows. I will like to validate that the date fields are all more than 18 years old (adult). How to do that?

UPDATE: Click here for the detailed tutorial to answer this question.Hello,I have a people/group column on my form. Users are able to enter more than one employee name. I want to capture the Display Name (not the user name) of the people in this field in a variable and insert it in a notification. If I use the column itself the value would be something like i:0#.w|domain./username 1, /domain.com/username2 (domain is the SharePoint root of the company). I can capture the Display Name of the first employee in the field by using Query workflow action and storing it in a workflow variable but I cannot do that for other people in the list. As example if the domain is GoodCo.com and there are three people on the field e.g. John Doe, Bill Smith and Anna Kennedy if I insert the column directly in the notification I will get something like:i:0#.w|GoodCojsmith;i:0#.w|GoodCosmith;i:0#.w|GoodCoakennedyI can use Query User Profile and store the Display Name in a workflow variable but this will only

I am trying to create a workflow that is pulling information from a InfoPath form.  On this form is a pdf document that the user will attach to be approved.  Once the workflow is approved, I was to copy that PDF to another library.  The other library is very restrictive, visitors group having read access.  So I would like to change permissions to the visitors group as the Owner to be able to add this document to that library.  Any assistance is appreciated.

Is there a workaround to allow the "Save and Continue" button to cause validation? Or even use a Javascript button to do exactly that?  or may be use the "Save" button but make it stay on the same form - not to close it..
