So I have a workflow that is updating some plain text control fields in the footer of the document. The controls are center aligned but after the workflow update they become left aligned. Is there anyway to prevent this?

We have a workflow that copies a file from one document library (source) to another (target). When the file is copied from the source to the target, the workflow on the source library sends out a notification. Is it possible to include a link in the notification to the item properties view of the file in the target list? If so, how is this done? Thanks in advance.

Hi, I am relatively new to SharePoint and Nintex, however I've designed a few workflows and forms that seem to be going well. So I have a user that would like a simple lookup that then pulls some other data in with it, the primary 'key' being the 'VIN'. The lookup is working fine currently but they have a few thousand records that may be added into the list, is there a way of doing the lookup with a text field? Due to the volume of records they obviously don't want to have to scroll through thousands of VINs. Is there a way they could overtype?If not, is there a way they could enter the VIN and have it validated against the Vin list? I'm using Sharepoint 2013 currently. Thanks in advance,

Hi All,I'm trying to remove extra spaces from the .txt attachment i'm sending out as a notification to my co-worker using Nintex Workflow. The requirement is to have the values captured on the form in a manner that allows them to be listed in a text attachment on their own row,  I can't seem to achieve that.When the email notification goes out i'm including the values captured which display correctly (example)I'm also using an expression to format each report on a separate line.Report Information:1/Report/CompanyName/State2/Report/CompanyName/State3/Report/CompanyName/State4/Report/CompanyName/StateHowever the attachment (.text) formats it like this:-1/Report/CompanyName/State 2/Report/CompanyName/State (extra space at the start) 3/Report/CompanyName/State (extra space at the start) 4/Report/CompanyName/State (extra space at the start)Any advice would be much appreciated!

Hi! I recently started using nintex forms and workflow. It seems to be very interesting, I did hit few roadblocks but was able to recover. How ever i am stuck at a point and don really know how to do it. I am trying to get a error dialog box the same you get using infopath. The reason I ask is because Nintex by default will show all the errors at the top of the form. I dont want that. I want to get a dialog box pop up with the error. Can any one suggest me wat can i do here. 

I am in the process of developing a form and two workflows. One workflow is associated with an already functioning Nintex Form. I will call this Form/Workflow A. The remaining form and workflow are on a completely different SharePoint site and I will refer to this as Form/Workflow B. When Form/Workflow A is approved, it will create an item on Form/Workflow B (easy enough). However, Form/Workflow A has 3 columns that are in a repeating section on Form/Workflow B. When I initially tried to transfer the data via the "Create Item in Another Site" action (see screenshot below) the fields do not populate when the item is created. Can you populate columns in a repeating section from another site collection? Any help/ideas are appreciated!!!

I hope I can  make this clear:I have a form that has been through a workflow for approvals and the workflow has been completed. This form also has an ID assigned to it.Let's say six months later there is an update to this form. The form needs to go through the workflow approvals process again, but it is important that the form retain the ID assigned to it in the first round. Note: The amount of time could be any time range, 6 months, 2 years, 5 years, etc.I am working in O365. What can I do to kick this workflow off again?I am working in O365.

I have a roster list which has First Name, Last Name, Name, User ID and Email among other pieces of information.  I want to create a workflow which does a lookup from a current list which shows Name (lookup field) to the Roster and pull the User ID field to populate a people picker field in the current list.  Is this possible using Nintex Workflow 2016?

Hello - I have a workflow with an Execute SQL statement. I want to use it to call a SQL job that calls a stored procedure with parameters. I can't figure out if it's possible, let alone the syntax.Side notes: My Execute SQL statement has a working connection string. I have verified that by calling a stored procedure that needs no parameters and also by putting an INSERT statement into the Query field of the Execute SQL workflow step. So the connection string and user ID/password are fine. I have verified with our DBA that I am using a user ID that has rights to insert into the table in question.With all that as background - what I am really needing to do is call a SQL job that executes a stored procedure with parameters. I can see in various forums (like this one -- sql server - How to pass a parameter to a SQL Job that will execute a stored procedure - Stack Overflow ) that calling a SQL job w/ parameters is doable, but I need to do it from a Nintex workflow/Execute SQL step. Has anyo

I'm trying to create a 30 day inactivity notification.  Basically, if the form has not been touched for 30 days, send a notification.Any ideas on how to set this up?

Are there any help files or product documentation on Nintex for Sharepoint 2016, and how to use different tools.  Our Organization recently launched Nintex platform, we want to build forms and workflows in this, so any help would be greatly appreciated.  I was unable to locate any comprehensive documentation for this.  If there are any PDF files to download, let us know the link.  Please help. 

Good day!NWF$('.vtMyRepeatingSection .nf-repeater-row:not(.nf-repeater-row-hidden):last .classText textarea').val(newString); ‍I use this code for populating an item at the end of a repeated section of the row. However, is it possible to update a textbox dependent on where the focus is? For example, I have 3 rows, I want to update the 2nd row, is it possible to click the second row textbox and populate it again? If so, what code is it?

Hi,  I and new to Nintex workflows and need help. Say i have Test lib and 2 folders france, Poland and status choice field (ready to Move, Rejected, Complete).  France has 2 folders (current rec and old rec) similarly Poland also will have same folders(Current rec and old rec) when the status of file from current rec is "ready to move " it should be pushed to Test2 lib and if the file in Test2 lib is rejected, the file should be back to France-Current Records folder. 

I've added the Attachments form control to the Task form, but when accessing a task it just shows an Add Attachment button. It does not list anything currently attached to the item. Am I doing something wrong here? Do I need to use a different control or a workaround to get current attachments to show on the Task form?

As the title said. Is it possible to put image on a rich text or edit the color of the column just by using a workflow?What i want to happen is that i have this field "Status" that has 3 choices.1. Ongoing = Orange2. Completed = Green3.  Scheduled = RedA workflow will run after an item is created then it will check the status if it is ongoing, completed or scheduled. Then base on the choice it will update the multiple line field(Rich text) and put an image. But i don't know what to put on the multiple line text. because i tried putting html and it didn't work.

Hello everyone. We are in the process of upgrading from SP 2010 to 2016. One thing that we've noticed so far is that our power users that previously were able to access the workflow inventory and create/edit them are no longer able to.From what I've read, I was of the understanding that users need at least design at the site level (which they have). We've also made sure that people had at least that (or even full control) on the Allowed Workflow designers list. Despite that, we still have the issue. Are we missing something?Thanks in advance for the help!

Dear all,Today the customer is experiencing some issues with Nintex Live forms. A fiiled in form is not arriving in the SharePoint list. We had the same issue a week or 2 ago, which seemed to be resolved the day(s) after.Can anyone shed some light were to look for the cause? The 2 I can think of my self are:A Nintex service related to Nintex Live Forms not running... which service would that be?Outage of the Nintex Live Forms service at Nintex. How to check for that?I've done some testing and it seems whenever I publish a new/changed Live form, 1 submitted form is received.... So my educated guess would be that the Nintex Live Forms polling service on the our SharePoint server is not running?UPDATE: Nintex Live Management health check all 4 show up as successful... So could it still be some issue in the Nintex Live Forms cloud?UPDATE 2: as of a sudden, forms are being pulled again.... as nothing changed (Nintex Live settings nor LAN/WAN settings) at the customer's site, I'm inclined to

Hi, hoping someone can help.  After a little investigation, it appears that when a form is submitted a second new entry into the SharePoint table is generated.  This happens about 1% of the time for our users however we have not been able to replicate this in our test environment.  The duplicate records can be 9-40 seconds apart in creation.Could this be due to a delay in the server creating the records?  We can't replicate by clicking the save button twice...Thanks in advance

I am using nintex forms 2013 designer and a lookup function. There are two lists - N2F F2F Repository & Change requests. The N2F F2F Repository has columns CRN, ProjectAcronym with the data in the list for these columns. In Change Requests list, there is a column called CRN which is a list lookup to CRN column in N2F F2F repository. I want to autopopulate Project Acronym value from N2F F2F repository when CRN value is selected in Change Requests list to a column called Project. To do this, I am using the following formula for Project column in Change Requests list = lookup("N2F F2F Repository", "CRN", CRN, "ProjectAcronym") and Recalculate formula on view mode as Yes. But it is not working. Appreciate any help in letting me know what is wrong.

I have a workflow in a main custom list that must sends a Request Date to multiple users. For that, I have a second custom list with those users and I query it and save them in a variable.The Request Data works perfectly for me because I can easily save the user input and pass it onto my main list.After some testing, I found out that the Collect Data From sends the request to just one user, even though the variable holds more than one. That doesn't work for me because I need to ask to multiple users for input (first answers applies). So I tried my luck with a Assign ToDo Task and passed the custom content types created with the Request Data to them (as a post around here explained). My problem is that now I have no way to pass whatever information the users filled in the task to my main custom list. I tried to query the task saving its Task ID on a variable (ItemTaskID) and using that variable to query the task list.Using a Query List with Workflow Task as its List input, I filtered th

I'm having an issue with this action "Request Review".. After the user approves it, it doesn't execute any action after it. I have used it within a state machine action, I have also made sure that the state ends after the actions are being executed. The workflow status remain "In Progress" without any errors showing in the summary. Is anyone experiencing such weird and painful to troubleshoot issue such as this one?
