 I have two different approval workflows where the person kicking off the workflow can enter the users they want to request approval from in the start form of each instance of the workflow. This is working and capturing the names of all of the users but the tasks do not send the notification email asking them to approve or reject and the task status stays as "Not Started" until I delegate the tasks back to the same user. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi, Just wondering if someone could please explain this?It was supposed to end the state machine on Rejection but somehow kept going...How is it that it didn't end the state machine? I did search but had no luck.I have changed the workflow in case this happens again but want to make sure I am using the action correctly.Any feedback is appreciated.

Hello,I have hidden a calculated control by entering "Visibility: hidden" in the CSS Class section. This allowed me to hide the button (at the same time allows me to save the data), but now it will not let me select the control or edit it. How do I bring back the control to a state where I can edit it?Thank you in advance!Ronnie

In a Nintex workflow, I'd like to set a condition that a Specify Your Own Value has been entered in a multi-select Choice column of a SharePoint list. Is it possible to determine that a Specify Your Own Value has been entered or that the checkbox has been checked?

Hi All,I'm trying to figure out a way in nintex forms to use a "Custom validation Function" which will validate a column to make sure  it has Full Name(which require at least one character, a space and a second character).Any help is appreciated.Thanks

Platform is onPrem 2013.I am (attempting) using a Lookup List dropdown to retrieve column values into calculated value fields - this works great.  I need to allow the user to edit the values in the calculated value fields. I know this directly is not possible. So I created single line text fields and connected them to the CV fields.  Using a rule I hide the Single Line Text field when a lookup dropdown value is not = 'manualentry'.  (Manual for user input).  If user selects 'manualentry' the form opens the SLT fields which are set to 'send to back' and the CV fields set to 'send to front'.  I can enter a value in the SLT - due to they are seen on the form.  Form is saved but the values entered do not show up when form is reopened in view nor edit mode.  The CalcValue fields are set to  Recalc on view = No;  edit = no (I've tried =Yes does not work);  new = yes.I have placed a rule on the CalcValue fields to hide when the dropdown field = 'manualentry' & the SLT fields are set to hi

The problem I am trying to solve is to determine if there is a specific word document in a specific folder located in the "Project Documents" library of a SharePoint 2016 site.  My site structure would be something like this: //server/sitename/project documents/folderA/.  Within the folderA, I need to know if there is a document called "status report."  These would all be on Alternate Sites than from where the workflow runs.Using a "Call Web Service" "sitedata.asmx" method, I am able to see the content on the site "//server/sitename/".  The content is stored in a collection variable which I then loop through (for each) to see if there is an item called "Project Documents" and I find one.  Then I use a Query List (CAML editor) to retrieve the contents of the Project Documents library.  I am able to find the Status Report folder within the Project Documents library, but I am not able to figure out how to get the contents of that specific "Status Report" folder.  I have tried a few differ

We are using Nintex Forms with Sharepoint 2013 on-premise.We have created a State Machine workflow for approval requests. We are currently using Lazy Approval, using the workflow action “Request Approval” for email notification, to automate our Approval process. We have customized our Task Notification messages, from [Site Settings -> Message Templates]. (view pic)   This is what we have in our Task Notification messages body: (view below) This is what we are receiving after the workflow is executed: (view below)   When our workflow sends the email notification, we are receiving an email message that is different from the messages in the Message Templates. Has anyone seen this type of behavior before, or can anyone tell us where the message body would be getting overridden from?

Hello,I am still a bit new to Nintex and working on the SharePoint 2013 platform.  I currently have built a request form for my organization which has a number of different yes/no (checkbox) fields.  Is it possible, that when a user submits the form, for a notification to be sent out to a pre-determinded list of people depending on what choices were chosen within the form? For example, in the image below... if a user were to select Cancer, i'd want a notification sent to a specific set of users.  But if Kidney is chosen, id like the notification to go to a different set of users upon submission.  Is there a way to do this?

Can you install Nintex Workflow/Forms Enterprise 2013 on SharePoint 2016? 

I have a simple document library with a simple workflow behind it which starts when a file is created. The workflow update a status column of the document and set it to "Processed". When I upload a new document and click "OK" it goes to the editform.aspx where you can adjust the metadata of that document. When I try to save I get the error as shown below:It looks like my workflow blocks the editform to be completed.Weird thing: when I make one of the metadata fields required, I don't get this issue because then the workflow will begin after the required info is added through the editform.Is there a way to solve this issue?

I am trying to assign a SharePoint date field to a Nintex variable. I know that there is a date in the SP field, but after I try to set the variable I get the "null" date value. Here are the values from the history list.NextWednesday (field from list) = 03/28/2018varWednesday (the WF variable I've tried to set) = 1/1/0001 12:00:00 AMCan anyone tell me how to overcome this? Seems this ought to be pretty simple, so I must be missing something.

How do you configure a action to "wait until" a person/group  column is completed with a name.  The person column is empty as default.

 Starting a workflow based on itemAdded event on a SharePoint document library, adding a document Set doesnt start the workflow. (Not the docs inside but the docset itself).   Please view the related KB article here.

I am trying to implement a SharePoint site request process.  Would like to manage it all from 1 SharePoint list.  I have 2 content types on the list.  The default content type contains the items required to capture information about the request.  The other content type has the same fields at the default content type, but has additional values for an administrator to add more inforamtion, assign the task and update the status.  Would also need to have dashboards: one for requestors to see the status of the request,  another one for administrators to see tasks assigned to them or requests that are unassigned.I've researched how to possible make this process work.  And what I can find is that you use SharePoint designer to change the content type of the list item from the workflow.  I am unable to find where you can use a Nintex workflow to do the same thing. I have a Nintex workflow that starts when an item is created.  I would like the workflow to change the content type of the item to

I just deployed Nintex WF to a SharePoint 2013 farm. No errors in installation. I deployed the solution to all Web apps. Used central admin > Nintex WF management to activate on all Web apps.The only site settings > site collection features that the Nintex WF item appears under is for central admin site collection (portalca.xxx.com:2222).None of the other web applications/site settings/site collection features shows it. There are several Web apps all on port 80 so portal.xxx.com, portaldev.xxx.com, portalqa.xxx.com.The CA as indicated is portalca.xxx.com:2222.I just logged a support case but the community might have seen this sort of problem before too. Thanks,Jonathan

I have a client that has a public facing web site running on SP 2013. They want to allow anonymous users to access this site and fill out Nintex forms that are provided from O365. What is the best way to fulfill this requirement?

I am using Nintex forms and workflow on premise for SharePoint 2016 and would like to connect with the Nintex connect community by asking and answer questions. However there does not seem to be any forum that is setup for this product. All I see is Nintex for Office 365 or Nintex workflow cloud and neither of these apply.
