Hello all.I have a rather large work request form I have created with rules that hide/unhide fields based on what the user has selected (at least 30 rules), so I already have a basic understanding of how to hide fields. However, I'm having trouble with the following scenario on a dropdown. I have a free text field called "Cost Code", that I only want to display to the user when they select "Furniture Request / Repair", " Janitorial Services", "Nameplate Request", and "Office Moves / Reconfiguration" on a dropdown, but keep the field hidden if the user selects something else (at least 20 selections available in this dropdown). I have no problems displaying the cost code field when the user selects one option. For example: (RequestTypeDropdown!='Furniture Request / Repair') works just fine for one selection. If I add a second option in the condition using an Or statement or adding a single rule for each of the four selections (for example, four rules with the following syntax: RequestTyp

I have a workflow that uses a web service call "copyitemtolocal".The workflow completes with no error but the document doesn't copy from one site to another.Both sites sit under the same Web application, under the same Sub-Site, has anyone come across this issue?, it's starting to baffle me.CheersMarc

Hello,I have two workflows on on a list. One workflow is for standard approval(with parallel approval actions) process of the item and the other workflow is for emergency approval. Is it possible to delete or complete the workflow tasks created by one workflow when the item is approved through the second workflow.I cannot use escalation so that the workflow task completes/delegates after a fixed time frame.Thanks.

Hi Team,I designed nintex form in a tabbed format. which it contains 3 tabs,The issue is tabs are not able to click able in the view mode.I am using rules to hide or show the panel / controls which clicking the button.Rule:panelMenu!='Project Description'

I am no longer able (it worked in the passt) to do a call web service. - I only receive a "Cannot coonect to server". I can connect  to website/_vti_bin/usergroup.asmx and I do not see any error message within Fiddler or ULS log. Any idea?Thx!

I`m fresh in nintex workflow, I have a URL that retrieve data as {"GetEmpAnd3MgrsInfoResult":[{"FirstName":""َAmir","FamilyName":"Asad","FullName":"Amir Asad","Department": "HR","RegistryNo":"25"}]}well, I need FirstName,FamilyName,... to update list item. I use web request  and query xml but did not work well.please help me to solve my problem.

What would cause this error

I have a form, I'd like to setup as tabbed viewing. I have the "Choice" control setup to render as buttons and a javascript variable name of "TabRules".I want to use a button control, that when it's pressed it goes to the next tab. Presumably, by setting a javascript function that sets it? I'm using the following code. NWF$('#' + TabRules).find('input:radio[value="Start"]').attr("checked","true");(Start is one of the values of the choice buttons.) What am I missing? Thanks in advance. 

We have a parent list workflow (let's call it P1) that starts a child site workflow (C2) using the Nintex Call Web Service action.  The Call Web Service action uses Workflow.asmx, Web method StartSiteWorkflow. We are using the web method to start the workflow in order to pass associationData. P1 starts C2, as expected. However, after 1-2 minutes, P1 fails with error “Failed to invoke web service. Error returned from server: The operation has timed out”.Despite the error message, C2 continues to execute and completes successfully.This seems like it must be a configuration related specifically to Web Services, as we do not have this issue when starting the workflow using the Nintex Start Workflow action.Has anyone seen this behavior before?  Do you have any suggestions on what might be happening, or how to correct? We have recently converted to SharePoint 2013.  This was not an issue in SharePoint 2010.Thank you for any input you might have!

I am facing the below error when I am trying to see the "Click here to show detailed view" of workflow information on the running instance. As I remember, I did not have this issue before and I can see it previous. Seems like it happens recently, but there is no changes on the configuration. Is there any time out setting need to check or increase? Does anyone has the similar issue on the On-Premise SharePoint 2016 environment? Appreciate for your kind advise.#

Hi,I would like to calculate workflow data and then apply the result to a new variable when it still running.Is there any Workflow Actions to set the following fomular?=IF(VALUE(DueDateHours)<2,"0",ROUND((DueDateHours/2)-1,0))Thanks,Emily

I have two lists listA, listB. listA has columns of FileName , Location, Index ID. listB has Index ID, location, FileName and has data. I need to design a nintex workflow such that when an item is added to listA through some custom code already present (which I don't have access to), the Index ID, FileName of the current item that is added should be compared with the listB Index ID, FileName and the Location of List B should be populated in the Location column of listA for the matched Index ID, FileName values.

Hi,Is it possible to use Nintex for the attached workflow process? Please give me an approach that I can use...I am trying to use State machine but my experience with State machine in the past is not so good. It is very slow...

I would like to Delegate all the Running Workflow task(Completed one Should not change) and All the new task from User A to User B.

I created a Nintex form and I have a workflow attached to it.  When the user clicks on the link in the email to see the form they get an error that says 'The form is referencing a field that does not exist. Please notify the form designer.'  I cleared the entire task form to the point that it is blank and I am still getting that error.  Does anyone know what is causing this?

I have been able to successfully loop through the XML in the repeating section; what I need to do now is to run a site workflow every day that loops through each list item to check's Today's Date against the Activity Due Dates and send emails accordingly.My one and only problem here is trying to get the workflow to loop through each list item. At the moment it only picks up the first item in the list. Help! Am I looking at nesting the existing repeating section loop inside a List Item loop? Some workflow samples would be appreciated.

Hi,  I tried to use your new Outlook/OWA add-in, but is imposible due to authentication issues: When I click on Nintex add-in, I need to authenticate:My credentials are well set, but I'm getting an "Invalid SharePoint Url" message. I tried to include a lot of different URL's in the Lazy Approval mail. If I include an normal site URL, like "https://MyWebAppURL/sites/workflows/genericWF", then I'm getting a "We could not find a Nintex Workflow URL in this email"If I included an NintexWorkflow URL, like the "WF Status" OOB link "https://MyWebAppURL/sites/workflows/generic/_layouts/15/NintexWorkflow/preview.aspx?ListId=..." (I read that a /NintexWorkflow/ must be present in the mail URL) then I receive the "Invalid SharePoint Url". Therefore, Which URL exactly I need to include into the email? There's no clear specification about it. The Site URL is not good, neither the "WF Status URL"... (I tested about 10 different ones, none of them seems to be valid). Then so far has been imposible to

Hello everybody,In my workflow, I use a GET Web Request to read the contents of a CSV File in SharePoint.In the CSV File, there are many values with special characters (ö ä ü, etc. ) that are typical in german speaking countries.However, when using the GET Web Request, it is unable to read these characters and replaces them with a symbol.e.g. "Durchführung" becomes "Durchf�hrung"I have tried to afterwards fn-xmldecode that content, but it didn't work.I also tried adding various headers to the GET request, but not sure if I did that right. Anyways none of them worked.Then I tried to save the original CSV file in different encoded formats (UTF-8, ANSI, ISO-8859-1) but that did not change anything either.Any help would be appreciated!Many thanks in advance

After upgrading Nintex/SP 2010 to the most recent release published in December 2017. We have noticed that the "Print to PDF" button that is available for the Enterprise license has stopped working on all the forms. I've contacted Support to have a look at it. And I'm hoping anyone who might have encountered the same issue to shed some light on what the problem/solution might be? If there is a way to troubleshoot it as well, that would be great. The Javascript for it at the footer of the page looks like this: Previously, when clicking on it, it would convert the form to pdf and download to desktop for the user to open and print. Now when clicking on it, it just shows this for couple of seconds and then nothing happens.

I am working on a simple WF that uses the "Set Value" option to update a single-text column in the item on modification.  I have been receiving the nagging error of "The workflow could not update the item, possibly because one or more columns for the item require a different type of information" and haven't been able to figure it out for weeks.I re-created the list from scratch and this time only changed the list name from "ABC - Aaa Bbbb Ccc" to "ABC".  Does the list name or even internal name have any bearing on Nintex WF's?  It would seem so in my test case but wanted to see if anyone could provide context.  Thank you!

I have a workflow that was created in production, we made changes to the workflow in our test environment then exported from test to production.  It is now creating a duplicate in the manual start of the drop down options on the files.  There are workflows running on current documents in the library and we don't want to terminate those by deleting the prior version but for all new workflows we want them to run on the updated workflow.Screen shot attached.

Hello Community,We have a form to do PO Numbers and those Number can be of AL or GL.  The user selects the type of PO numbers that will be entered and then starts to fill out a Repeating Section with those numbers. (This is do to depending on the type of POs they route to different people in the company that handles processing.)  We want to make sure they are entering the correct format for the numbers based on their selections.  We created the regular expressions for the AL and GL format that is needed based on the requirements that is gathered.  We have assigned a Store Client ID in JavaScript variable for the text box in the repeating section. When user moves out of the text box it calls a JavaScript function to do the validation. Even if you put in the correct format it still comes back as a bad validation.  Below is the JavaScript code we are using:function InvalidPoNumber (source, arguments) { var ALRegEx = new RegExp('/(^["]\d{2})(.{1,5}["])$|(^["]MAL)(.{1,5}["])$/gm'); var GLRe

Hi,I want to know the retention period of nintex workflow tasks.I read some where that the workflow tasks will be automatically deleted after 3 months.Actually we have to track the history of workflow more than 3 months.can i change this?Thanks

I recently inherited an existing environment (SP 2010) using Nintex. When I browse the logs, I am seeing entries with the following values:Start Time: 4/10/2013 9:09 AM   Last Action: 4/10/2013 9:12 AM   Duration: 1651 days   Idle Time: 1651 daysI am assuming this workflow is no longer active nor is it doing anything useful. How does one terminate/kill this and other workflows similar to this? Of course not knowing the details of the workflow, any default fallout for terminating a workflow after so long?Thanks in advance!Bob
