HiI have a large inspection form where all the outcomes fields are the same. The only thing that changes is the question/criteria.Example:Is there some way to have the outcome fields in a repeating section with the criteria changing? My only thought was to have the criteria in a drop down list. However as there are so many and some of the questions are quite long, that isn't really practical.

In Nintex form, I have disabled a button with rule condition isNullorEmpty(textfield) based on another text field. If the text field is empty or null, then this button will be disabled.The rule seems to work for the first time only. When the form was loaded, the button was disabled until I enter something into the text field. However, the button was not disable when I go back and delete all the data in the text field.Does anyone have this similar issue?Please share your thought.Thanks,Emily

Was wondering if anyone had a collection of example formulas they've used in past forms for formatting or validation. Would be great to have this published somewhere if it isn't already.  In particular, I'm trying to get an "or" formula working where it evaluates the value of a control for several different values. I tried: ControlName != "Value1" || "Value2" || "Value2"ControlName != "Value1" || ControlName != "Value2" || ControlName != "Value2"

Is there a way that I can add a link or a JS code on a Nintex 2013 form to give the user the ability to download all attachments within the form? Some attachment fields can include up to 20 documents and the users want to be able to download all at once.. Is there a way to do without having to write custom code on sharepoint?

Hi guys, I need to do a workflow that sends out emails to remind people how many days till the due date. I calculated the difference between the Due Date and the Current Date column and got the amount of days left in my DaysLeft column.These are the 3 conditons:1. If 7 days left on the DaysLeft, one email will be sent.2. If 3 to 0 days left, It will send a reminder everyday3. If negative value on the DaysLeft, it will send a reminder everyday.This is my workflowI already did the workflow which updates the Current Date column everyday. Thus the DaysLeft column will be updated as well. Now I just need the workflow for the email. I tried using the Run If function but I dunno how to input the values in the configuration. I have the pic for the If Configuration for the 1st condition. I also don't know how to make it so that the value will be in a range like 3 to 0 for the 2nd condition . As well as Infinite range 0< for the 3rd condition.Finally I need to put the amount of days left in t

On a form can you hide the list of attachments but still allow attachments to be added?

How do I add a hidden field to nintext form repeating rows that takes in predefined values? For example, the 1st row will have value val1, 2nd one val2, etc.

I've seen this question asked in different forms, but not necessarily with this configuration and I can't seem to figure this out. I have 2 lists (List A and List B)- each have a multi-value lookup column that point to the same List C.  I cannot figure out how to use a workflow to lookup data in List A from the lookup column (List C) and then update List B's lookup column (also list C) with the same values.  As far as I can tell so far it involves building a string out of a set variable action that looks up the values from the lookup column in List A, but I cannot seem to get this working.  Any suggestions?

Hi,I have multiple metadata fields and panels on my form. The suggestion drop-down menu seems to be obscured by other fields. I heard it can be fixed using CSS, but I am not sure how. Can anyone help?Regards,Korak

Hi all,I would like to based on the ListItemCollectionPositionNext variable (does Nintex  support this ?) to check if the workflow finished retrieving items Because I know the SharePoint allows to retrieve max 5000 items per query. I would like to use ListItemCollectionPositionNext variable and check if it is empty. If it not empty the I make another query in the case has more than 5000 items. Otherwise, I will not make a query anymore.Anyone know this please let me know your solution ?Thanks a lot//Tan Nguyen#

So we have a Nintex workflow with a Web Service in it. The web service is calling the List web services in the URL and is using our SharePoint install service account as the user/pass. It's been working fine forever and now today when you "Test Connection" we are receiving "An unexpected error has occurred".Why are we now all of a sudden receiving this error? It throws this error if we have code in the Request Message or if that field is empty...same error:

I have a SharePoint 2013 Enterprise Site.  If I run a Assign Flexi Task it seems that when a user receives the email and opens the Link for the Task Action the ability to Accept or Reject is grayed out.  I assume they need Permissions at the SITE level to Accept/Reject a Assign Flexi Task.  This appears to be the only way they can approve.  It seems the Assign Flexi Task does not reference the permissions at the Library level which is where I have unique permissions (Contribute) and from where the Workflow is kicked off.My dilemma is I do not want all people to have Edit access at the site level (again not sure what permissions is required at the site level- assuming it is at minimum Contribute).  How do I allow users to respond to an Assign Flexi Task and not open the entire site to Contribute permissions.

My company allows for several user accounts to exist under the same name. Each employee gets a primary account in Active Directory (AD), and users who require additional accounts receive service accounts, which have different user ids but still show up when the account owner is searched for in People lookup fields. All primary accounts have an email address, but not all of the service accounts have email addresses. For example, John Doe has two accounts, a primary account (ID = 'userJohnDoe', First Name = 'John', Last Name = 'Doe', Email = 'johndoe@nintex.com')  and a service account (ID = 'serviceAccountJohnDoe', First Name = 'John', Last Name = 'Doe', Email = '').I'm experiencing an error in an Update Item action in a Nintex Workflow in SharePoint 2013 where an Initiator's user id is removed from one People column and added to another; there can be multiple users in both columns. This workflow always errors out when users who have multiple AD accounts initiate the workflow, but never

To use the Call web service action, we created a service account that has local admin rights to the SP server. We used it successfully in a workflow on one site and when we tried to use it on another site, we generated a 401 UNAUTHORIZED error when trying to call the web service. After some troubleshooting, turns out that the service account needs at least Read permissions to the site in order for the account to have permissions to call the web service. Makes sense, I guess. But, in that we intend to use this action and associated service account on multiple sites, what is the best practice for granting the service account permissions to an entire Site Collection? Should we just grant it owner rights to the site collection? Thanks in advance.

I’m trying to find a way to connect a list item to a Nintex live form item. I'm struggling to build a unique Nintex Live URL to include the item ID. Context:An internal user creates an item in the listAn external user receives a link to the Nintex live form (via a workflow that is started when the internal person creates and submits a list item)When the external user completes and submits the Nintex live form, it creates a new item in the list. (Problem is: it needs to update an existing item that was created by the internal user – the item where the workflow is running).How can I achieve this? If this is not possible, what would be an alternative solution to having both data from internal and external as 1 list item?

I have a parent workflow that creates an item and then I have a child workflow using the Action "Start Workflow" to trigger a workflow that sends out an email.  I have it structured this way for the sake of ordering - I do not want the email to be sent out first.In any event the Start Workflow Action has an option of "Wait for the workflow to complete before continuing".  When should I select this option

Firstly I'm quite new to Nintex so apologies in advanced if this one is fairly obvious.I've created a workflow that used 'Request data' and 'Update item' on a SharePoint List. Users receive an email with a link requiring them to enter a date (with another action that updates a field on the same list). It's takes them to SharePoint to enter the requested information and click 'Complete Task'.Once this is done it successfully completes the workflow and takes the user to the 'Workflow Tasks' list where they can see a list of all the workflow activity happening on the site. Is there any way to prevent this?Firstly for an end user most of the information is irrelevant to them and they probably don't know what it means. Secondly it contains the information about other workflow activities that I might not be able to see from other workflows on the site - even though the library/list is limited.I have done a quick resolution by hiding some of the columns on the default view. However the prefer

Hi Folks,I have an issue and I need a workaround. Normally, I would use a cascading dropdown for this but that is not working in my environment (see background posts here: https://community.nintex.com/thread/20079-having-cascading-dropdown-issues) for some reason and I will be working with Nintex Support to overcome that issue. I need to accomplish this before I will be able to get approval for a Nintex Update as I have a new contract kicking off that needs this feature ASAP.Thanks for the help in the previous thread to get me this far Marian Hatala‌  Philip Warrak‌. Feel free to add here Cassy Freeman‌ as I have seen you contribute to similar issues.Does anyone know of an alternative method to filter by multiple values? I must populate my main form with the contents of a list that has several records for each employee. It is a Time Bank so each employee has a record for the first contract period (base year or "BASE") and each subsequent option period (Option Period 1 or OP01, OP02, et

Hi all,I have a form (Nintex Forms 2010) that has a radio button (options 1 and 2) and two list lookup fields (A and B). I would like to clear A and B when the option at radio button is changed.I used the code below, but do not work NWF$(document).ready(function() { var choice = NWF$("#" +Tipo);choice.change(function() {NWF$("#" + ClassA).val('');NWF$("#" + ClassB).val(''); ; } ); } );  Any idea?

Is there a way I can take the exported Form.xml and publish to a similar Library using Nintex Form Web service?I am creating new libraries on the fly in a Nintex Workflow and would like to publish the custom Form created in Nintex to the newly created Libraries as well. Want to automate the complete process.

Hi guys,I have some problem with a workflow for a customer. The issue seems rather strange to me and I have been looking for an explanation for some days but with no success. Maybe you have another idea what could be the source of the problem.This is the problem area of my workflow:As you can see I have parallel tasks. My requirement is to check if everybody who gets a task assigned does approve it ("Ja" = "Yes" = means approved). Therefore I created a variable which is called "var_bedingungsloseZustimmungOEs". This variable is set to true right before the tasks are assigned (default value is also "true" but I need to set it again because I'm working inside a state machine and this state could be processed many times). If any of the task assignes does not approve the task ("Nein" = "no" = means rejected) i set this variable to false. After all assignes have responded to their respective task, I check if the variable is still true. And this is where the funny part starts.Problem:3 Tasks

I have a list which includes amongst it's fields a list of systems. Each system has a unique Technical System owner. I've been asked to create a workflow which based on what system a user picks will send an alert to that unique Technical System Owner.What would I need to do this? I'm presuming  Logic action which looks at what field is associated with the system in the list then stores it in a variable? I'm trying to think my way through this and any help would be appreciated.
