Hello everybody, I want to do a lazy approval list workflow to request for an item using a form. How do I go about doing it? I have not created the form yet though, I am currently waiting for it to be installed.These are the requirements: I need to Request for an item to the manager for approval, once it is approved it is then it will be sent to a 3rd party to be issued. Then the issue will be closed. If its rejected by the manager, it will be sent back to the requester for amendment. I need the issue status column to be automatically changed to issued once it is issued by the 3rd party. The 3rd party can only change the column to issue. The approval part is already done by the manager.The issue status column will have 2 choices, Issued or Not issued.This is my workflow, is it correct?

Hi, We have an issue with redirecting a worklist item to another user. Via the UserManagement Smart Object, we validated that the destination user exists.We also verified that the destination user has start/view/view participate privileges on the workflow through AAD groupmembership. The destination user does not have out-of-office configured. We validated that the worklist item can be redirected to another user. We have tried via the worklist webpart and K2 Management Portal. Is there an explanation why this is not working for this destination user? Other things we have to check? Thanks in advance. Kind regards,Gerry

I have a site with a list where one column is defined as lookup with multiple values.Now I’m trying to query an item/column from this list from another site. As the list and the workflow is not in the same site I’m using CAML query. I would like to be able to select return type (Lookup Value as Text, Comma Delimited).How can this be done in a CAML query?Alternative: How can I format the result to plain text (without the list id and ;#) after the query-list?  

Hello,We developped a custom form for our client, the form works fine in our development environment, tested both on IE11 and chrome.But our client has an issue when opens the form in view mode from a modal dialog on IE11, the form is showing totally blank. If using Chrome or without modal dialog popup on IE11, the form is showing fine.I didn't see any javascript error on the IE developer console, maybe the JavaScript errors are disabled on our client's working environment.Do you have any idea? Enclosed the screenshots and the form xml.Best regards,Zhaoshuo YANG

I have a workflow with State Machine Defined (3 Branches) to be precise.  The case is if I enter the second branch for the second time, then the case should be escalated.  Is there a possibility that we can make a counter to count the number of times we enter the workflow on its initiation.How to establish a counter in the workflow, please help.  All your help much appreciated.Since I can't give out the exact workflow, its a mock of the actual scenario.  The requirement is when it enters the State 2 for the second time, workflow should recognize that and trigger to State 3[Escalation].

I want to send email notification to all users in group as separate email. I know I can use "Send Notification addressed notification" option to do this in "send notification" action.

Please suggest solution for sending separate email for users in group?

I have multiple SharePoint pages using the Tasks List feature. My goal is to be able to create a workflow that automatically send reminders for assigned tasks. The auto reminder will be sent 3-days before the due date, on the day that the task is due, and/or if the task is past due. I have Nintex Worfklow 2013 and I tried creating a work flow using the Workflow Action "Assign to-do task"; however it's asking me to input the "Assignees". I don't have the assignees yet as those will be defined upon creating a task. I'm not clear as to why we would need to create an "Assignee" in the Workflow when that's defined during the creation of the task itself. May someone explain this and provide the steps (and steps within each workflow action) that will help me automatically send:1. A reminder that the task is due in 3-days.2. The tasks is due today!3. Your task is [day] overdue.Once this is created, will I be able to apply it to all Tasks List or must I create a new Workflow for each Task List?

In SharePoint 2016 on prem using Nintex 2016 - I've created a workflow approval but I would like to add a 7 day reminder notification to be sent out if the approval has not been submitted. See my workflow above.Thank you!

I can not navigate to the displayform.aspx page after saving the form. Waiting for your help.

 Symptoms When using a picker control the following error was being thrown:A referral was returned from the serverAdditionally, when accessing workspace the following error was had:An error has occurredPlease contact your administrator.Error:Initialization failed before PreInit: Unable to establish a secure connection with the Active Directory Server.Possible Causes-the ADConnectionString in the K2 Workspace web.config may have an incorrect LDAP path.-the physical connection to the Active Directory Server might be down.-please review log files for more information. Diagnoses Cracking open the web.config for Workspace unveiled four unique LDAP paths.

 Symptoms After performing consolidation on the K2 databases and rerunning the K2 for SharePoint installer, the logs still report that the installer is still looking at K2HostServer database rather than the consolidated database. I need to update the K2 for SharePoint to point to the new consolidated database. Diagnoses We checked the connection string for the database in the connectionstringeditor.exe and also confirmed that there were no values in HostServer.Configuration table for consolidated DB that would link back to the old unconsolidated DB. A repair of K2 blackpearl was done and we still did not see a resolution.Installer traces for K2 for Sharepoint showed multiple errors as follows:Failed to update database "K2HostServer" because the database is read-only.There is another node for this K2 Production server but this is not connected yet via the load balancer.

I have list form that needs a few fields to be populated via SharePoint's Quick Edit feature. One of these fields is a country list lookup dropdown.When the user inputs a country value in Quick Edit, they're populating a single line of text field. How can I set the value of the country list lookup with this textbox value when the form is brought up in Edit mode?Any JavaScript would be appreciated. This is somewhat tricky because as we know, the list lookup values are not actual values...

Hello there,I'm a Nintex newbie so bear with me.I have two forms. The first list is called Monitor Tracking - Classic and the second list is called UFF Tracking - Classic. I want to populate fields based on a lookup function that pulls column data from the first list. The user will type in a known number into a field named "Monitor Number". Typing this in, should pull the data from the first list that matches the Monitor Number. I noticed that the Classic form has a control called "List Item". Here's how I attempted to use it. Anyone know what I'm doing wrong? Or will this form control not accomplish what I'm looking to do?I created a Form Variable named Monitor_Item_ID with a lookup formula that will pull the value from the list item's ID column:   lookup("Monitor Tracking - Classic", "Monitor Number", Monitor_Number, "ID")I then added the List Item control to my form. Edited the control settings. It seems as though the List Item ID field in the control properties wants a number becau

I have a workflow where I am using an Execute SQL action to call a stored procedure that requires two parameters. The first parameter I can type in but the second parameter needs to come from a Workflow variable.  The workflow action receives the Workflow variable but I am unable to figure out how to insert a single quote before and after the parameter. Currently the workflow errors out with the error 'Invalid Column Name'. I have found many posts where people have been able to get this to work for a SQL Request but I can not seem to find a solution for the Execute SQL action.Here is my SQL Query.SELECT [dbo].[GetEmailStringForGroup] ( 'Purchasing',{WorkflowVariable:wrkLocationAbbr})I have tried to use double quotes and single quotes but every time I try to do so it completely wipes out the value of the variable and supplies either '' or "" to the SQL stored procedure.So how can I as a single quote before and after the variable so that the SQL query will execute correctly?Thanks so muc
