We've implemented your basic time off vacation request form and approval workflow with lazy approval.  I'm guessing I broke permissions because people who are approvers on list items can't go to the list and view the items they've approved.  In other words, I'd like all managers to be able to see their staff's requests in the list.  Instead, the managers are currently only seeing their own requests.So without using item level permissions, which I read has long term performance impact, what permissions am I missing that will allow this?  I have the "approvers" group with approval permissions, and I tried giving them read permissions but no change.Suggestions?

I am using O365. I have a SharePoint 2013 list document with  a Nintex form. Attached to this form is a Nintex workflow with "Start a Task Process" running in parallel. Each user (anywhere from 1-6) is assigned the same task of reviewing the information on the form and adding their comments on the form itself. (I currently have comments area as a repeating section.) How can I keep comments from Reviewer 1 from being overwritten by Reviewer 2, etc.Thank you.

i have been struggling to create a workflow to send out notification 1 day in ahead of the leaver date specify in the column . no matter how i do it it just sent out immediately 

Hi,  I am new to Nintex workflows and have created some basic ones.  I am trying something I think to be a little more complicated.I would like to have a workflow send an email with dynamic content I create based on certain information as it pertains to a particular item in a list.The workflow should work something like this. 1. An item in a list has a status that is changed to check mailed or bill credited (done by user)2a. When the status is check mailed the date this occurs is placed in the 'check mailed date' column (currently done by another workflow)2b. When the status is bill credited the date this occurs is placed in the bill credit date' column (currently done by another workflow)3. This workflow should now set a date that is (1) month from either 'check mailed date' or 'bill credit date' depending on what was selected.4. On this new date (1 month in the future) the dynamic email is automatically sent to the email address in the 'email address' field.I've thought about creatin

In essence what I want to do is look up a user's Account Name from the SharePoint User Profile Service by inputting another unique field. In this case it is a custom Employee ID field in the UPS that is read from AD, but it could be by phone number, or other fields. To clarify, I am inputting an Employee ID number and wanting to extract the username that matches up with the Employee ID. I've tried setting a variable as shown in the attached file, but that errors out with "Workflow failed to get user profile for user".  I have confirmed that the property is readable from the User Profile service in Nintex, by using a Query User Profile action, hard-coding a user in and emailing the Employee ID number. Thanks for any advice!

I have setup a Nintex Workflow which assign a bunch of some Flexi Tasks to some people. Every Flexi Task have a specific Due Date. Now i would like to remind the persons, how have not completed the task some days BEFORE the Due Date, to complete his task. I know there is a tab "Reminder" where i can define the reminder, but i didn't understand how this works completely.Does the reminder starts to remind the people after the start date or the due date?How many days before the due date or after the start date start's the reminder?What should i use, if the reminder should have no end date or count and should remind for ever, every day?Additionally, is there something i can do, if the due date is exceeded? Fo example send a e-mail to person x other than the person, the task is assigned to?

I have a form for a list in SharePoint and I need to be able to collect data for each document and also send the documents with the data to a document library. Is there a way to do this currently? Basically this is what I am asking:Is there a way to have a document library form in the middle of a sharepoint list form? So that they get attached to the list item and uploaded into the document library and also I capture data for each document.

 Symptoms When I first created a form I gave it a name frmHome, thinking that I would be able to change what is displayed in the browser tab by some title name, but I can't. How do I change the title to something more user friendly. I don't like having "frmHome" show up on the tab. But I don't want to change the URL. Is this possible through the app or even the database? Diagnoses The URL itself cannot be changed, and it uses the Name attribute in the DB which cannot be changed without breaking the form. Resolution Create a data label on the form and check the Literal property. You can hide it by checking the hidden property.Place the below text in the text field for the data label<script> document.title = "Home" </script>Save the form. Now when you navigate to the form, it should display Home instead of frmhome for the browser window name. 

I'm having an issue that's driving me nuts. I have used StartWorkflowOnListItem I don't know how many times, but for some reason I can't get it to work in this instance. I have a scheduled site workflow that queries a list for items who's date column equals today. The resulting IDs are stored in a collection. Then I run a For Each loop on the collection, storing the item ID in a number variable. The Call Web Service action is configured for NintexWorkflow/Workflow.asmx - StartWorkflowOnListItem. I pass the item ID from collection (I've checked the variable and it's coming across as a number), the list name, Workflow name, and no association data. When I "Run Now" it works fine. When the action is triggered during the scheduled site workflow I get error text "HTTP Error 404. The requested resource is not found." I have tried configuring the action with a hard-coded item ID value, but same results. I even tried recreating the list and site workflow to no avail. I am site collection admin

How to use nintex inline function in javascript for ex: XmlEncode

I've had a Sharepoint application that runs Nintex for the past 6 years. Many of the workflows have "To-Do" tasks that are assigned to multiple people all are set to "First Response Applies". When a user responds all tasks are marked complete which allows the tasks to drop out of the Open Workflow Tasks assigned to that person. So once someone responds it looks like this:The only way to tell who responded is to check that the outcome is Continue instead of Not Required.So recently we setup a new application which runs much the same way, the "To-Do" tasks are configured identically to allow the first response to apply - that part works fine and the workflow moves on after the first response. However the Task Status is remaining "Not Started" for all the users as opposed to being marked completed as it does on the Legacy app. So it looks like this:This means these items are still showing up on the users Task list even though they are no longer required to answer and officially the task i

We have a list with a custom Edit form (SharePoint Designer 2013) and the OOTB Edit Form was removed.How do we tell SharePoint to display the Nintex Edit Form and not the customized SharePoint Form?Thanks

Hello all!As part of my defensive workflow design (and as advised by Nintex Support) I've added a Pause before each task in a workflow. And now I sometimes see that some workflow instances will be held at that Pause for hours, even days now. Maybe never continuing. (The Pause is set for 1 minute in business hours). Ans users never find out about this if someone doesn't specifically go to check workflow history.In this context I have 2 questions:1. Is there a way to find out which workflows are held at that Pause - a report of a kind for all In Progress workflwos in which the current action is Pause?2. Can I force the ones already stuck on the Pause to continue?Any other ideas for investigating the core issue are welcome.Thank you.Dimiter

Hi all, I have what I hope is a fairly easy question. I'm using some regex to manipulate some data in a multiline text box. It removes some characters, puts them all in a new line and adds brackets to the left of them. And example below:[  ] Microsoft Word[  ]Firefox[  ]Internet Explorer[  ]My problem is with that last bracket as it places that at the end. So far any pattern I used gets rid of all of the brackets. Is there a way to just trim that last one so it can look like this:[  ] Microsoft Word[  ]Firefox[  ]Internet ExplorerThank you in advance.

Hi,Please tell me how can I assign my own custom task form to a Nintex workflow? I tried using "Flexi Task" and there is "Edit Form" button on top of the ribbon but it is disabled probably because Nintex Forms is not installed. Does it mean I cannot customize task form without Nintex Forms?Normally when using SPD and Visual Studio to create custom task form I do the following to achieve this:1. Create a task in a workflow in SPD2. Create a custom content type for e.g. "MyApprovalProcess" and assign it to workflow3. Open Visual Studio, and inside "FeatureActivated" method assign a custom form to that content type for e.g.SPContentType MyApprovalProcess = web.ContentTypes["MyApprovalProcess"];MyApprovalProcess.EditFormUrl = "_layouts/15/SP.Solution.MyProject/MyCustomForm.aspx";4. After deploying the solution, it will open my MyCustomForm.aspx when a user clicks on task name.How can I achieve the same using Nintex Workflow?EDITBy the way, task type must support the custom outcome. Based o

I noticed that deleting a field does not remove the rule that is associated to it. I want to delete all of them but I do not want to do it one by one because there are many and it's tedious.Is it possible to delete all rules that are no longer associated with any fields at the same time ?
