I have a request to create a form with a repeating section. The only problem is they want an attachment control in the repeating section, which of course is not prossible in 2010. So I found the maximum sections they require would be 32, which works out to about 320 fields. If I were to instead use panels and hide each section until required, I'm thinking the form will be too large to publish/open. I also won't be able to create that many columns in the associated sharepoint list.I am not very familiar with content types and am wondering if they could resolve this particuar large form issue. How do content types work with forms? This will also be a mobile form if that impacts anything.ThanksJoanne

Hi, Has anyone used the Send Document to Repository action? I'm trying to copy a document from one O365 document library to a document library in another site (same site collection) so I decided to use this action.  I set the filter to "Send all documents to repository" but when I run the workflow, I receive the error message "Unable to find document to repository".  I don't think my selected document is being recognised. So I tried to be smart and selected a filtered value based on a column value on the column 'client name'.  However this time the workflow failed saying the column name doesn't exist: Filter rule error, column 'Client Name' does not exist. It may have been deleted by another user. I have no doubt I have missed something obvious.  Has anyone got any suggestions? Thanks,Chris

Hi experts!I'm looking for advice on how to handle a relatively complex requirement (related to approval of prices),Price Analyst uploads prices for approvalPrices should be able to be uploaded massively (e.g. Excel)Prices are uploaded in "batches" or "sessions". Each batch contains several pricesFor the purpose of this exercise, it is ok to asume that each price will be single element in a listPrice Analyst should be able to change prices after uploaded. If he made a mistake, supervisor should reject itPrice Supervisor approves or rejects prices uploaded by Price AnalystApprovals are handled at "batch" level (approving prices on an individual basis takes a lot of time)Approvals are auditable, so once done, should not be possible to changeI think the challenge here is to implement these "batches" (master-detail relationship between batch and individual Price). Also, handling permissions to upload/approve but not change afterwards.Any feedback on how to resolve this requirement (fully o

Hi Folks,I have a Leave Form and I am trying to get a cascading dropdown setup working so that I can basically double filter a lookup. there are plenty of resources for this here but I cannot seem to get mine working. There are a couple of subtle differences between mine and the examples but nothing I would expect to cause the filter to fail.I set up a dummy solution to reduce any extraneous complexity in my production form from getting in the way.Example for is very basic... Just the default content and two list lookup controlsThe first control successfully looks up an employee name from a list on another sub site.cont...The next lookup control looks up the contract period from a TimeBank where an employee's available leave is stored and filters off of the FullName result of the first lookup control.cont...The issue I am having is that the second control does not filter. The list connections seem to be working because when I select filter by specific value on the control and enter a k

Hello!  I have an existing SP List using an InfoPath form.  I want to replace the InfoPath form with a Nintex form I have stored in my sandbox but have run into a snag.  So far I have tried the following: created form using the exact same data fields and set up as the existing List(backup) saved a version of the InfoPath form on the existing Listexported the Nintex form from my sandbox and saved to desktopturned off the InfoPath form on the existing List ( Settings/Form Setting)imported the Nintex form to the existing ListResults:I created a new entry in the List and although the Nintex form popped up, some of the data fields where out of order or misaligned.  Do I need to update some kind of setting in the form to align?  When I opened an existing record in the List , the form came up but only some of the records data was not populated.  Do I need to somehow merge the form with the List?Or is this not possible.  Perhaps you cant import a new form into an existing list?  It has to be a

Is there a way to limit a text field to just text and numbers? I have a comments field in a form that is stored in a variable as multiple lines of text and then the text is sent in an email. I believe the variable did not populate based upon some of the special characters entered.

I am trying to use a lookup formula within a calculated field on a Nintex form to display a value from a custom list named "Local Job Codes LookUp" where I have two fields, one named "Local Job Code" and another named "Local Job Code Title".  The named control on the list where the form reside is called "LocalJobCode w/o quotes.What I would like to happen is that when the the Local Job Code is selected on the form the Local Job Code Title display the related value.  I am using the formula below but all it does is say, "Loading..." and then doesn't display anything.  I've tried different configurations but I cannot seem to get this to function properly.Any advice would be much appreciate. Formula Builderlookup("Local Job Codes LookUp","Local Job Code",LocalJobCode,"Local Job Code Title")

Workflow setup help needed.Scenario 1:I have a workflow email which will trigger upon a new entry, IF a manager approved field is selected.I have a workflow email which will trigger when an item is modified, IF a manager approved field is selected.Today I had a manager submit a new entry with the approval field selected (triggering an email to the client), but the manager then edited the entry a couple minutes later (triggering another email to the client)So how do I stop the modified email from going out, since the new entry email already triggered?Scenario 2:I have a workflow email which will trigger to the client when an item is modified and the manager approved field is selected. Once the manager approves and saves the form, they may make edits over time to other fields within the form. How do I stop the client email from triggering with each modification.Thank you in advance for the help!Katie

HiI have searched the net for java script that would redirect the user to Outlook on the Save and Cancel buttons but have had no joy.A Nintex task is assigned to the user who can then view the Nintex form with the details of the client through a hyperlink in the task message.  Before approving or declining the request, the user can view the form.  This instance of the form should only be for viewing only.  So I would like the form to have an OK button only which will take them back to the task email in Outlook.  In addition, this form would be different to that of the Nintex form that appears when a new item is created or an item is edited.Kind RegardsRenee

The System list is a drop down list and the Technical System Owner is input by using the people picker field.I've been asked to send an alert out to the Technical System Owner when an issue is recorded next to their system via an InfoPath form.I've created a new list called Improvement Log (b) and I'm getting the System List drop down field from list a.

Hello,We are enterprise customer for Nintex forms and workflow. There is an immediate need to query SQL and populate data in Nintex Forms using O365 - SharePoint online. I don't see SQL action in the forms and was wondering what's the best way to achieve this? Can I connect to SQL on prem and populate data in dropdown list in Nintex form on SharePoint online and also based on selected value from dropdown list, populate other fields from SQL into Nintex form?

Each item (row) on my SP list has 12 nintex forms (one for each month). There is an excel listing for each month that needs to be attached to the item. At the moment the all attachments are shown in all the forms, but I want the January one to only show in January's form. Is this possible?The idea I have is to use the attachment control in each nintex form to show only item that contain the text of that month in the name. So for the jan form it would only show items with "jan" in the name.I am thinking of using the Appearance > visible > expression option, but not sure what the expression would be. Any ideas?Thanks

I have a situation where I need to create a workflow that initially sends tasks to 3 different individuals, but the problem I'm having is for the escalation.  For example:Initial email goes to Person 1, Person 2, and Person 3for Person 1 doesn't complete their task it escalates to a specific person, if Person 2 doesn't complete their task it gets escalated to Person 3, if Person 3 doesn't complete their task then it goes to the top level management.If I do them all in the same flexi tasks I'm not sure how I could distinguish the escalation.  If I do it in Stages, then each stage needs to finish before it goes to the next.Should I create parallel branching for the 3 persons?It doesn't seem like it should be so complicated, but I maybe complicating it more than it needs to be.What would be the best way to accomplish this?ThanksKim

Hello AllI have designed a form which uses 2 workflows: Reference + Approval.The reference simply generates the Reference number updates the status and then starts the Approval workflow.Note sure what the instance ID is used for but just added it in case is required!Whereas the Approval workflow is set up to start also manually if required and to check condition when created based on the status parameter. Its purpose is so that in case the WF gets tuck at any Flexy Task point, then with the manual restart it goes back to the same approval point...Maybe this is what causing the slow down????The workflow contains a few of the followings:- Parallel Actions- State Machines- Change State- Switch- Run If's- QuriesInitially it used to run well, quiet fast. As soon as the SUBMIT button is pressed, it would run the workflow and refresh page back to content within 5 secs.Now, it does take over 60seconds before the page is refresh to show the content / process.I am not sure what is causing it.I h
