Hi, we're using a document filing system with an MDR for unique document number tracking. I'm looking into building a control on the Nintex Form to display existing documents with the same 'document identifiers'.   I tried to accomplish this with a list lookup control, but I can't input a wildcard as a filter value. In a web request I should be able to execute a query with a "StartsWith" parameter, like the a "Query list" action in Workflow.   This example shows 2 existing documents starting with the same 'document identifiers'.   I've copied the query to the web request and filled all the required fields and I'm getting similar results: Result: I need help forming a XPath expression to extract only the document numbers, so I can present them as "option buttons".   Full XML output:     <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/

I originally had the workflow for my document set library to automatically start when a NEW document set is created. However, you can't upload the documents until after the NEW document set is created...thus causing this error message to appear in my inbox....therefore, I changed my method to only allow the workflow to start manually. Is there a workaround to this? Or do all document set libraries workflow require a manual initiation? My workflow is set at the document set level. Any assistance provided would greatly be provided. Thank you.

I have a calculated value which is a lookup to a list A. The issue I am facing that this calculated value in not updated automatically when the values in the list A change while I am opening the form.

Hi   I've got a Flow which was working fine. Now when a Flexi task is assigned and I click on the Respond to the Task link I get: Sorry, something went wrong     An unexpected error has occurred.Web Parts Maintenance Page: If you have permission, you can use this page to temporarily close Web Parts or remove personal settings.

Hi everyone, Is there a way I can prevent a Form from saving when a user hits the Enter key to move between fields (instead of using Tab?) A lot of users hit the Enter key and then have trouble getting back into their Form. Cheers, Lexie

Hi    I have a form where based on a particular selection in the drop down list, a simple text box should appear where additional information is to be filled by the requester. I am drawing a blank and not able to get any clue on how to do this.

Hi Team, In a workflow, I managed to generate the pdf from Word document which contains a single content type with a list of metadata. I will like to know how to copy the list of metadata ( found in one content type) to the generated pdf? Thanks for your guidance.  

My workflow is set to atomically start when a new item is entered; however, I would like to have my nintex workflow to only automatically start when creating a new document set - and NOT after each new document is uploaded into the document set. Is there an out-of-the-box workaround on this? In addition, I normally receive a workflow-error when documents are uploaded within the document set. There is not enough information re: document sets on Nintex. Would appreciate any assistance on this or even if you could refer me to some earlier posts or youtube videos, etc.

I have a workflow set up to generate a document that is sent to several people for signature (using the document generation and Nintex sign action).   I need to send the people who are signing the document supporting documentation (contracts for example). I can't see how I can attached documents to the Nintex/Adobe Sign email users get when signing a document.    Has anyone solved this problem or similar problem?   Thanks

I have an action in my workflow "Update Item" that will update a column in my list that contains a choice (checkboxes).Let's say the choices in the column are:Bob Jones - AccountingMary Smith - HRJane Doe - MarketingWhen the new item form is submitted, I want the workflow to add all three choices to the item.  However, when I do this, filtering isn't working in the list view as intended.  I can have one list item where I chose the checkboxes manually, and another list item where the workflow updated the item, and if I filter the column on "Bob Jones - Accounting" only the item shows where I added Bob manually.If I modify the workflow to only add ONE of the three, it works as intended.This does not work:While this works fine:If I could stack these actions, that would work fine, but it only keeps the last value, of course.  I even tried a Parallel action but it goes left to right and keeps the last one as well.Any ideas?

Afternoon   I'm trying to troubleshoot a Workflow I've inherited. The flow errors at a Create a Item action with the error: The workflow could not update the item, possibly because one or more columns for the item require a different type of information.   Here's how the action is configured:  It's only happening with one 'Dealer/Group Code' any ideas? Thanks in advane

I'm a newbie to Nintex (2016 on SP2016) and we've had to postpone our classroom training owing to Covid so apologies in advance for what is probably a very basic question!    I have an approval workflow that needs to send a notification to a group mailbox to be approved by whoever is working on the mailbox at the time. I've created the SP group to whom the flexi-task is assigned, and set up the parallel action to notify the group mailbox only. Is there a way to construct a link in the parallel action notification email to automatically open an approval form for the individual list item to be approved (basically spoof the "click here to approve this request" in the default email notification)? Based on the posts I've already looked up here I can't see one, but thought I would ask on the offchance any has any tips. 

Hi folks, The value selected in a lookup drop-down control (cascading is involved) does not show when the form is re-opened in view or edit mode. Use Case:An IT Service Request Form, where the assigned IT person must either be selected from a list of persons responsible for the department of the requester, or (in case the list of IT personnel is not up-to-date) entered via a people control. Either way, the UserId of the selected IT person needs to be stored in an existing column of the form's SP list. My setup is as follows: SP Lists:"Companies": Columns: CompanyShortName, CompanyLongName"Departments": Columns: CompanyShortNameLook, (lookup-column, displays also CompanyLongName), DepartmentShortName"Contacts":  Columns: AssignTypeDept, AssigneeName, AssigneeUserID Form Controls:Lookup: [LookCompany] (binding: yes)  selects "Companies", column: CompanyShortName Lookup: [LookDepartment] (binding: yes)selects "Departments", column: DepartmentShortName, filter: CompanyShortName=[LookCom

A simple way to convert Nintex Forms Repeating section XML data to a HTML table is using a XLS transformation. To do the transformation only one action is needed: Query XML.Here is a simple example (Forms 2013, Workflow 2013). The form looks like:Repeating section contains three single line controls named 'last_name', 'first_name', 'company' and is connected to workflow variable 'contacts_xml' of type 'Multiple lines of text'.XML-content of contacts_xml:<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><RepeaterData><Version /><Items><Item><last_name type="System.String">Lauer</last_name><first_name type="System.String">Manfred</first_name><company type="System.String">KOB</company></Item><Item><last_name type="System.String">Billing</last_name><first_name type="System.String">Emily</first_name><company type="System.String">Nintex</company></Item></Items></RepeaterData&g

 Hello. For example, when i put Data the list up into the repeating section, the connection turns to ,,Not Connected" and there is no other option. Therefore, when sending the form to the Manager, the dates are not displayed. Is this a repeating section flaw or is there a solution to it?  I need the user to select multiple dates, and all of them should be presented in a table and displayed on a form. Because after sending the form, the date is not visible. Thanks for the help      

I have a Nintex repeating table in a form that I need written to another list.  I have been able to successfully write the contents of the repeating table to a list following the below post (Query XML and then do for each loop and collection operation to extract one value at a time, and then at the conclusion of each for each loop I create a new list item): https://community.nintex.com/t5/Nintex-for-SharePoint/parse-xml-to-sharepoint-list/td-p/47503    However, now that I have this working, I need the ability to support updates to the repeating table and I need these updates to update the separate list items.  My create item action saves the list item ID to a variable, but not sure how to write this back to a list item ID field I have in the repeating table.  Also not sure how to make it so that updates to the repeating table update the list.   I assume this topic has been covered by now, but haven't been able to find it.  Would appreciate being pointed in the right direction.  Thanks.

Hi,    In Nintex forms (on prem 2019) i want to select persons and populate the email to a text field. I am using a listview control and a text control. See the image. When i press the button i want to see "mark@mail.com,gary@mail.com" in the textbox.   I am trying javascript. I have named my listview control CSS-class 'LVCtrl' but i am not able to fetch the data in javascript. Code like below does not work. If i am able to loop through the data in the control or directly loop through the selected items then i can copy the mail per item to the text control.   NWF$('.LVCtrl').each(function () { alert("test1");}); NWF$('.LVCtrl .s4-itm-cbx:checked').each(function () { alert('test2');});

Dear Nitex experts, I have this challenging workflow task to seek your advice: Staff to select the final document found in their (source) Department doc library Fill up the "Access group" to grant read rights Fill up the "Approving parties" (allow user to select their manager) Once the approval party approves Determine the content type of the document which will determine the final portal's document library (Destination) to deposit the pdf to Render the document to text searchable pdf and then move to the right portal document library location And set the right permission depending on the "Access group" requested (see point 3) copy all the original tags from source document to the destination pdf Deposit to the right doc library depending on the content types Can all the above be created in one workflow ? What is the best method to achieve the above steps?

Hi,   I've a requirement to copy files from different sites (under different site collections) to my site. I'm using call webservice action and with copy.asmx, my files are getting copied. All of this is working with the site admin account. My challenge begins when I try to use a different account to run the web service. I don't have certainty of the source file location. Users can enter any location in the tenant and most likely my account may not have access, failing which the copy fails.  I can't go ahead and give site collection admin rights to this account for all the site collections (although it would have solved my problems) as it would introduce a risk with two site collection admins. So, question(s) Is there a way I can invoke the web service under the context of the 'system account' aka the farm account, without using manage credentials?  Without having to grant permissions for the workflow account granularly across thousands of subsites, is there a way to accomplish my requ

Is there a way to get the shared properites of a term in the term store and write that to a list?  If a user selects termA then all the shared properties associated to that term should write to the correct column.     Example: Vendor- TermA Shared Properties: Address - 1234 Address Ln City - Atlanta ------------------------------- List Columns: Vendor: TermA (users selects term) Address: 1234 Address Ln (auto populates based on shared property association) City: Atlanta (auto populates based on shared property association)
