I recently started experiencing problems with Workflows that get stuck at PAUSE action. Upon investigation I noticed that the Workflow Timer Job was getting hung at 0%. I followed this article to try and resolve the issue Tracking and Resolving Stuck Workflow Timer Jobs. From the ULS logs I identified the WF instance ID but when I queried the Nintex Content DB the query did not bring any result. I then went the the list where the workflow was running and directly searched for the workflow instance. I terminated the workflow and also deleted the item that the WF was running on. After this I deleted the configuration cache of the server that is running the stuck timer job. Unfortunately none of this resolved my issue. See below the snippet of the ULS

Hello,Is it possible to send a notification when an item is viewed? the workflow notification should include:who it is viewed by and when it is viewed.Thank you.

Hello All,I have a current workflow which goes through 2 approval processes > Manager > HR. Meaning, I have two separate Flexi Tasks instead of One and have 2 approval required.  Reason for not going with 1 x Flexi Task is because I was not sure how to do it so it always asks Manager first and then HR.  Would be cool to find more about this option Anyway back to the main topic:Purpose is so when a user makes a holiday request and is still in approval process (whether by Manager or HR) or even being already fully approved - yet, have the chance to cancle the workflow due to change of circumstances.Now, in my opinion there are 3 steps depending on the status: Pending, In Progress or Approved.Therefore, I have added a Switch function which checks the status and goes down the branch, in return it stops the relevant workflow and sends out an email notification., as seen below:Problem:The Terminate Workflow action does sent out an email to requester notifying that the request has been

HelloAs the title question suggests, I have an attachment control on a new item and a flexi task form with an attachment control on both. One a workflow is completed, where are they stored and how can they be viewed when looking back historically at the list? I know I can click the item that was created with the new item form and it shows me there, but where does the attachment that was added to the task form go?What I am after is that all the attachments added to the new item and/or the task form are stored somewhere where they are accessible from the list.Any suggstions

NINA is a unique provider hosted application that allows end users to encrypt their sensitive files stored in SharePoint server / SharePoint Online. Encryption can either be triggered manually by the user using one of the ribbon buttons, or automatically by Nintex workflow.Let's say, the document goes through an approval process, when the approval is done, the final action of the workflow is the http request, which calls the provider hosted application NINA and returns the enrypted file to the SharePoint document library.Furthermore, generation of the one time url for download of the encrypted file is supported (one time passoword for decryption is sent via text message to the user's mobile phone). It is a great way how to securely distribute content to external users, who can download the file from the generated one time url.Most common use-case scenarios:Encryption of the payroll documentsHR system generates the payroll documents and calls the NINA provider hosted applicaton, NINA en

One of my users has a problem with the context menu that appears when you click on one of the drop zone icons. The menu appears (displaying Paste and the Insert Action menu), but it doesn't close after the selection is made.I do not have the same problem. I am using IE 11.0 on Windows 7 in English. My user also has IE 11.0 on Windows 7, but in French.Has anyone experienced a similar problem? Is there a solution?

I am trying to build a custom worklist that has a set of columns different from the OOB set. What is the recommended practice for this?Is there anyway I can derive from OOB worklist and modify the columns? thanks Jay

I have 4 site workflows, each of the workflow will loop through a list of about 100 items. I made 4 schedules for those 4 workflows to run overnight. When I check the lists I do see the updates in each list, that means the workflow ran overnight. The problem is, when I try to open "View Workflow History", I got error. I looked the log and it said database connection time out. I understand that the workflows generated lots of records in history and it could be the problem. Can any body point me a direction that I can solve this problem.Thanks in advance!Alex

Greetings, We have created an IT change management solution that requires that members of the Change Advisory Board (CAB) all agree on an outcome before the next step in the workflow is executed.For an Unplanned Request for Change (RFC), we have a Flexi-task that sends a task notification to the 7 members of the CAB asking them to review and either Approve or Reject. The next step in the workflow is to notify the deployment technician that the RFC has been approved and it's okay to proceed. We have the Flexi-task set to "All Must Agree On a Specific Outcome" (Approved). However, this requires that all CAB members are available to vote, which is often not the case.Here are the requirements I wanted to get help with. We'll need help constructing the associated workflow:Our assumption is that this step involves a Flexi-TaskIn the event that all 7 CAB members are unavailable to vote, we need at least 4 people to all Approve the task. Ideally, we would also put a time limit on voting of 2 h

so some background;I have a custom list where users can subscribe to a mailing list and add themselves to this list using the nintex form (in new form mode) and I have made a 'manage subscriptions' form as well (which is the edit form)The edit form just has a few checkboxes and users can select what they want and then starts a nintex workflow to remove themselves from the mailing list. I've made a new page with the list to show only the user's subscriptions and no access to other views to see other people's subscriptions.This page also has added a Nintex list form webpart linked to that view from the list but in edit mode. It shows the edit form fine, but the problem is that the 'selection' is always defaulted to the first item in the list and does not delete what was selected), I cannot find a way to change what is selected on the form to be deleted.alternately, there was one time the form worked, but broke adding ANY new items to the list. I discovered that when setting the connectio

I have sharepoint list with Nintex workflow.Now my requirement is, I need to create a site workflow with 2 conditions:1) when the record  is more than 30 days old and in-progress state the status should be changed to cancelled2)  Once status is cancelled,i need to kill the instance of workflow. Stop the workflow.Otherwise that workflow will be running forever even if we archive the records.I have achieved the first  point, but got stuck in the second point.Please do the needful.

I am working with a task list named "Tasks" and would like to validate that entries made into the field "Title" are unique.How can I validate in my Nintex form against those requirements?Can I use the custom validation option in the form settings or do I use "calculated value"?I am already validating to use only certain characters with "Regular Expression".Any help to create the formula is helpful.Thank you in advance!Christian

We have a parent workflow that spawns several child workflows in our approval and release document process.  The users want to be able to view the workflow progress from the profile form.  Easy enough to do by appending to a multi-line text field from various points in the workflow.After the child and parent workflows have completed I would like to "reset" the text box by clearing out the entries for tracking the next run of the process.  I have tried setting the item value to an empty variable of the same type, i.e., vEmpty_mtxt, with no success.Is there some "trick" to this?  Surely someone has needed to delete the contents of a multi-line text field before.Thanks in advance for any suggestions.Ken

Hi,Is it possible to use Nintex for all fields on a form except 2x fields, which would be default SharePoint fields?The reason is we have a custom Javascript solution (DFFS vLookup) that is tied directly to default SharePoint form fields and to get this working on Nintex Form Fields is too difficult within time constraints.So the quickest option I can see is to have these separate fields under a Nintex Form that would run without Nintex, if this is possible.Any suggestions or examples would be much appreciated.Thanks.

Hi, I am running through a scenario where I am required to give ReadOnly Permission to Requester when request is submitted. Note:I am using state machine.The workflow has 4 levels of approvals, at each stage I am setting the Status Column as following, “Approved By Supervisor”, “Approved by Superintendent”, “Approved by Dept. Manager” or “Approved by HR”.As the workflow runs with Initiator permission, I am unable to  set to readonly. If I set readonly permission for the item level then the workflow is failed as it is unable to update the list using status column.I am unable to use impersonation using “Action Set” as Action Set doesn’t provide option run as Publisher account. Please suggest me what is the best possible solution for such scenarios.Regards.Ashraf

Hi,Is there a javascript way to call PrintToPdf option on Nintex forms? Or any web service which could be invoked via a workflow to generate PDF of List Item and store it inside a document library?Regards,Shrini

Hello!  I have implemented an auto incrementing ID using Nintex WF on-prem and have a slight issue.  When an item is saved and the user is returned to the list view, the value does not display.  I assume this is due to the delay / time it takes for the workflow to run / finish.  If you refresh the page, the ID appears.Question: Is there anyway to speed up the set value action / WF so it shows by the time the page is refreshed back to the list view?SP2013 and WF 2013Based off this solution, slightly modified: Nintex Workflows makes it easy to create an auto incrementing column in SharePoint | Habanero Consulting Group 

Hi everyone,I would like to set up a default value (12/31/9999) for a Date/Time Control.Unfortunately, I receive the error message: Default valid is not a valid date (See Screenshot).Do I need a bit of Javascript?Thank you for help!

I have a form that I intent to have users in and out of until they finalize it.For example:End user creates new item.  Only has a few of the fields' information required to fully submit.  User saves the form - it is incomplete for final submission.  They come back with the remaining information - update the form - and then can finally submit to kick off workflow.All the while the user is saving the form by selecting the save button.  Once the form is ready for final submission, there is a YES/NO check box titled FINAL SUBMIT.  The user needs to select that checkbox then select the save button to kickoff the workflow.Once that is done, I do not want the user to be able to come back to the form and make any modifications.  Nor do I want them to uncheck the FINAL SUBMIT box. I'm trying to use the disable rule funtion but it's not working at all how I need it to. A) Is this possible?B) Is the way I'm approaching it accurate?C) Is there another angle that I should be approaching this from?

HelloI know I can use isNullOrEmpty({Self}) to not show the control in the approval task form, but the label still shows. Is there a way (easily, not doing a different rule on each label or grouping the label and control in a panel) to say if control is empty then hide label and control.

Hi all,I have a (responsive) form with a dropdown ("L1", "L2", "L3") and a people picker field. As soon as "L3" is selected it is mandatory to have a value within the people picker field. Unfortunately this is not working for some reason.This is my form:Name of the dropdown: LevelFreigabeI tried these two rules (set on the people picker field):Deutsch: und(istNullOderLeer({Self}), gleich("L3 - GHV / NDA", LevelFreigabe))English:   and(isNullOrEmpty({Self}), equal("L3 - GHV / NDA", LevelFreigabe))Deutsch: und(istNullOderLeer({Self}), enthält("L3", LevelFreigabe))English:   and(isNullOrEmpty {Self}, contains("L3", LevelFreigabe))Both didn't work. Is there something I have overseen?!?BTW: I selected the named controls, I didn't write the names only down.Cheersmai-kel
