The following is a choice field:Wait for item update:Nintex workflow decides to complete the workflow even if no decision is made (i.e. nothing is written to the list). Is this because it has detected all values are empty and thus not equal to Pending action?Can someone explain how to use a loop to break out of a Wait for Item Update in this context? A diagram would be much appreciated.I've read Vadim's post but don't really understand as it seems to be slightly different from what I need to do, i.e. keep the workflow in its current position until Decision equals to Approved or Not Approved.

I am seeing this in most of our workflows that have the Query User Profile actionError querying user profile. UserProfileDBCache_WCFLogging :: ProfileDBCacheServiceClient.GetUserData threw exceptionSystem.TimeoutExceptionAfter this error the WF fails. For the workflows that progress past the Query User Profile action, it looks like the action is never evaluated. We use this action to determine the next approver in the approval hierarchy and since its not working we have approvals going as far as the CEO.

I am new to sharepoint and not sure if what I want is even possible.  I have a nintex form and I want the information to go to an excel form.  The excel form would be on another page.  And then I'd like a notification when this happens.If this is possible, what do I need to do and how?Jeff

I have two workflows, the first one is a review and approval process, once approved it kicks off the Publishing workflow.  The problem I am having is, the Review/Approval workflows kicks off the Publishing workflow, but it doesn't copy the Word document to the Parent library, but if I run the Publishing Workflow independently, it will copy the file to the parent library.The messages I am getting with the Publishing workflow when kicked off from the Review/Approval Workflow error are:An error occurred while publishing QM 103B Training Attendance Form.docx...Site is not configured for Claims Forms Authentication.I am using the workflow Action "Copy file to SharePoint".When it ran from the Review/Approval I get the messages above, but when I ran it independently, it created a New Record ID and the file was successfully copied to the Parent location.

I have created a SharePoint custom list with title and then added some more fields using Nintex forms, those fields are not visible in SharePoint after publishing. Thanks in advance.

I would like to know if there is a workaround or easy way to escalate a workflow to completion after a certain date that is utilizing a "Request Review" workflow action. Thanks in advance.

I found weird problem with Nintex workflow running on one of my lists on SharePoint 2010. There is a conditional startup set when items are modified and it works fine but runs twice.I checked whether something changes this status on update, but no. All the other workflows work fine, so the problem isn't in configuration or duplicated scheduler. List was not moved and I was told it worked fine few months ago.Only problem i found was a lot of event recievers created by Nintex on this list. I would try to delete them, but I don't know which one is responsible for this workflow. How can I diagnose what's wrong and how to fix it?

Hi,I have got Nintex Workflow which runs query on the list and stores resulting value in a variable declared on whole Workflow. next step I set this value as field value using Nintex action.Problem: the field value is always set to zero (0) despite the fact that when I ran the query in Nintex Workflow (Query List Action), it was returning actual numbers but some how when it goes outside the Query List Action the variable value is reset to Zero (0).any idea why is this happening?many thanksAqib

Emails notifications (consists of custom templates)  sent by workflow are appending extra text on top of them which shows in outlook. Where it comes from and how we can change or remove them. Keep in mind that our sharepoint has multilanguage environment English & Arabic.

Didn't think I would be back so soon. I encountered something odd. A workflow I created is running and performs all the actions; however, it then stalls at the end and eventually errors out. During this time no one else can run the workflow, just a simple class sign up workflow. Two Questions:1. Does anyone know what this below image is? Its in the workflow just like any workflow action except I can't delete it, select it, or interact with it at all. If I try and publish the workflow I get a type mismatch error and can't publish. I am going through all my actions to see if I notice anything, its been running great for some time.2. Users can't run a workflow when another workflow is running on this item. That is the message they get when trying to sign up for a class. Is this the nature of the beast or is there some method to let more than one workflow run at a time?Thank you.

Greetings,I am working on an ISO9000 EMC type solution and I need a little help.Here is an overview of the processA document is put in Drop off library.A review process takes place at the drop off library levelAfter the document is approved it gains a status of "Current" and the content organizer moves the document to the correct library.This solution will eventually run across 9 sub sites and 10 individual libraries in each sub site. (I plan on building once in the main test site and then import workflows into each sub siteThe issue is that these documents need to be reviewed annually so there is a document expiration date field and a calculated column called 90 days prior to review date.I have a site level workflow that queries each of the individual libraries within the site and looks for items that meet the condition [90 days prior to review less than or equal to Today]This workflow will then change the status of these items to "Due for Review"I also have a Reusable workflow attach

When I call the form comes this message!and if I change the value in Lookup Column the same message too...

I am trying to use the Call Web Service action to move items from a library in one site to a subfolder within a library in another site. I have built my Destination URL string, which looks like this:Web URL/archivearea/Archive%20Project%20Documents/str_FolderName/str_LibraryName/str_DocNameWhen I enter my string into the browser (minus the document name), it works. However, when I enter it in the Call Web Service action to manually test it, I get an error:<CopyResult ErrorCode="Unknown" ErrorMessage="Object reference not set to an instance of an object."I tried the Destination URL with and without the document name at the end and I still get the error.I have passed the variable through a Build String action to replace the spaces with spaces and to trim any spaces at the end.Why isn't this working?

This formula is not working for this requirement: only displays if Request Type=Add New Supplier OR =Activate Supplier AND Vendor Confirmation Button=Yes: not(equals(Request_Type, 'Add New Supplier')||(equals(Request_Type, 'Activate Supplier') &&equals(Vendor_Confirmation_Button, 'Yes')) It was working without the part after ‘||’ .  Once I added the 2nd condition after ‘||’, this control is displayed regardless the value in “Vendor Confirmation Button”. It seems that the condition after ‘&&’ is ignored. I also tried this way and it also not working: and(equals(Vendor_Confirmation_Button, 'Yes')), not(equals(Request_Type, 'Add New Supplier')||equals(Request_Type, 'Activate Supplier'))

Hi,I am calculating a date within my form and want to save the result into my list.Unfortunately the formula field cannot be bound to a date field. How can I solve my problem?I do not want to write the date into a text field.Cheersmai-kel

Using the simple Set Field in Current Item action, I tried several format but so far it errors when trying to set.Field to set:  MyGeoLocationValue: Point (-0.226313394707461 51.4956119173686)(as you can see hard coded just to test and then replace by variables)Error message display when workflow runs is: Retrying last request. Next attempt scheduled in less than one minute. Details of last request: HTTP BadRequest to https://......onmicrosoft.com/sites/thissite/_api/web/lists(guid'10d943d2-b96c-4058-b622-c5d81fedb791')/Items(192)An unexpected 'PrimitiveValue' node was found when reading from the JSON reader. A 'StartObject' node was expected. I am guessing it's the format sent as "Point (-0.226313394707461 51.4956119173686)" that the field is expecting something else, like in CSOM oGeolocationValue.Latitude = but how to do likewise in Nintex workflow SetField ?Any suggestion is welcomed.

I've been working on an issue with Nintex Workflow 2013 email notification actions as well as email notifications generated via request approval and to-do task actions.  The issues boil down to inconsistent formatting.  Parts of the email message will have random line breaks and/or different fonts.  The line breaks appear to happen most frequently when inserting references or links from the UI, but not every link results in a line break.  Any copy/pasting we have done has been from NotePad++ so no formatting should be coming over from that.These issues aren't visible in the Nintex web UI but appear in the actual emails.  I've attached an example of the issue as shown in outlook, how the email looks like in the Workflow Designer as well as the HTML source of the email (I've redacted email addresses and phone numbers, but it is otherwise unchanged).Has anyone encountered this before?  Any suggetions?Thanks!Lee

Hello, I am working with Nintex Forms on premise SharePoint 2013. I am creating a form that has Rich textboxes. When I click on the Font Type or Font Size icon the context menu displays behind the textbox therefore most of the menu is not visible to the user. Has anyone ran into this issue and is there a work around for moving the context menu to the front.Thank you in advance for your help.

A simple workflow on a SharePoint 2013 doc library is not starting. The workflow should start under these conditions:The doc library has check-out/check-in enabled. The workflow does not start whether the item's status is modified to Change Required, saved, and left checked out or whether modified to Change Required, saved and checked in. No workflow history. Nada. Thanks.

I want to query my list based on Created By and I want to delete duplicated items that a person entered into my list. Users re only allowed to enter one item. If they enter in another item n the list I want the second item to delete right away. Can someone help?

This might be a SharePoint question more than a Nintex question, but I thought might be worth a try... We have a server that was only accessible internal, we did all the Nintex forms and workflows configuration when the server was only internal. Then we reconfigured the server/web application to be external facing and the URL has changed. Now the forms and the workflows are all in there. when the user creates a new item the workflow triggers. The problem is in two areas: - When we go to Manage existing workflows (from the external facing url) , and click on the workflow to view, we get an error that it cannot route to the "internal link".. - When a workflow has an action to create a new item and a workflow is supposed to start on it upon creation, the workflow errors saying that it cannot find the workflow at location "Internal URL". I've tried removing the workflow and re-importing while on the "External" URL. Same issue occurred. I thought the issue is may be that URL is somehow tied

I want to setup a document review process. The idea is to automatically start a validation workflow when the review date is reach. The review date is obviously a field of the document list.Any idea on how to do that?Thanks

Hey folks!Once again I've hit the whole "javascript can't be used on mobile" conundrum. We have a javascript function on our desktop forms which acts like this:1) A dropdown field with Accept, Reject, or Not Applicable is tied to an "initial" field to the right of it.2) When the dropdown field is FIRST POPULATED or CHANGED, the "initial" field automatically populates with the Current User's name3) This is hardcoded and the user can not change or remove this.4) This means that, even after submitted / saved, if another user comes in and changes one of the dropdowns, it will then hardcode to THEIR username.Thinking about it, I feel like there might be a very round-about-way to do this with rules inside of mobile. Like... if a user selects a dropdown (if not nullorempty and if username blank) then populate their name in the initial (then user CurrentUser to populate Initial).  The problem I have is the next bit -- if a user saves, submits, etc, and another user opens it and changes it ....
