I want to connect to an actual Power BI portal.

Is it possible to redirect user to different page, when trying to access others forms ? I am trying to achieve a condition 'if employee is not equal to current user and if employee is not part of a SharePoint group(this will be Approvers), should redirect to different page'. Typically no one should have the access, once the form is submitted other than the Approver and current user. Is this possible in nintex forms? Please advice me how to proceed on this? 

Hi community,I am trying to create a workflow to weekly/daily check a calendar for new items, and then generating Folders and tasks to specific List/Libraries.To make it a bit easier:I have a Site with 20 different Clusters each having their individual owner and library (Each of the owners is able to see only his page). Additional to the clusters, I have a Calendar where I am filling elements that are the trigger for each Cluster to do something. E.g. When I add into the calender "Project123" with an enddate of 01.10.2018. I want the system, 7 months before enddate, to create a folder called "project123" to the library of each cluster, and to generate a task "Plan Project123" for each cluster owner.  To achieve this I have currently 2 workflows, but am facing trouble with the second one.1. Worfklow at the Sitelevel: To calculate date 7 months from Today, and save it into a variable. Check the calendar for Items that are equal or smaller als the saved variable. And for each element foun

Hello all, I'm pretty new to nintex and share point I need a help to create a workflow with the below requirement. 1. Assign a task to person. To complete a list status and provide the latest update to the requester. But the challenge I face if this person edited the status away from the task url and if he change the due date.        A- for changing the status I need to complete the task to allow work flow to continue       B- if the assigned to person changed the due date or the status to "deferred" I need to take approval before the changes get effected.        C- I can't use a web services or XML query as it is demised by my organisation.

Hi there,Is there a way to do an autosave on a Nintex form/sharepoint 2016 without having to do a server call? We have seen those posts, https://community.nintex.com/thread/18004-autosave-function-javascript and I'm aware of the Save and Continue option. But those still do a server call which makes saving refresh the page and reloads plus it gives an ugly user experience.MS Office 2016 got the auto save now, I was hoping the same thing can be enabled for SP 2016 somehow. Any thoughts? 

I am on Nintex for SharePoint (on-premise).  I wanted to know how to create a workflow that when I set a status of "Approved" to a document in a Docs Library, that it will be sent over to a List Library.P.S - I was able to go from List Library --> Doc Library, but not the other way around.  If there is a way to do that, it would be greatly appreciated!Thanks!

Hi, hope i've asked this in the correct place!I'm fairly new to Nintex and I have created a Form & Workflow to record an approval flow.I have a Flexi task action which can have up to 8 assignees (depending on values added on form). I would like to know the best method for displaying the outcomes of these tasks on the form itself rather than having to click through the workflow history page. (The form is printed when completed) I can set an action to date stamp after flexi task is approved, however this would only capture when all the assignees (approvers) have approved. I would like to capture each assignee individually.Basically, when someone approves I would like the form to be date stamped next to their name. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated!Many thanks,StuartThis is the form with 8 people pickers. Users can enter as many as required.Here is the workflow. The 8 people picker fields are entered as assignees in flexi task action.

 Symptoms  Instance Error: An Activity with a client event should at least have one destination  Diagnoses  As shown in the attached image, we have some instance with error. The error message is "An Activity with a client event should at least have one destination".We know why the error occurs, but we want to know how fix these error instances. It's possible assign this activity to another user?  Resolution Using the Visual Studio K2 Process Management tool you can map an instance that is erroring out to a process version that does not error out. When opening the K2 Process Management tool you need to expand the 'Workflow Management Server Node' and expand the 'Error' node, and then select all. All of the errors that are active will be listed, and you can simply click on the error, and select 'Retry' to map to a different process version. After selecting retry if the workflow does not error out it will disappear. If it does error out then that means there is an issue with that version

The issue: a null date field in a repeating section gets thrown into the XML as 01/01/1900 00:00:00.Extremely frustrating; it's shocking how Nintex can't even deal with an issue like this, automatically?How do I update the XML so it clears the field? I'm not familiar with XPath so any guidance would be appreciated.

Hi guys, I'm a new member/user of the Nintex application and this community so I would be very thankful if you help me out here, or at least provide me a link where there is an answer of my question below.I have 2 different workflows created for the same list. One of them I want to be started when the item is created and the other one only when the item is modified. But, the second one ( start when item is modified ) I want to be started only when the first time the item was modified, which means once.So, even though I have sucedeed with providing this functionality with additional temp column was involved, I have noticed very strange thing here which honestly I didnt expect:  Every time after the ''Start when item is created" workflow was finsihing the second workflow 'Start when items are modified" was starting automatically even though the item have still not been modified.Any idea why is this happening, why the order of the events receivers are replying to the Nintex workflow?I exp

I have a form where I have Lookup Field.  Within the Control Settings - List Lookup I have inputted "All Items" for "Source View".  This works fine when you create a "New" item (the values display and are available).  However, if you click on to Edit the item we get an error.  If I go back into the form and remove the source view I no longer get an error.Note this field was not created within the form. Note the "ID Connected To" field has the name of the Lookup field found in the List.Any reason for this behavior ?  Could it be when I click on Edit it tries to connect on the ID rather than the value name ? Do I need to create a separate Nintex form for Edits when using a lookup form and a source view ?

I have a Site Workflow which sends an alert when seven days has elapsed which works like a dream. I have a Calculate date action, a Query field  and then a Loop with Site Collections (as pictured below). The Calculate date action has the days field set to '7' when the date hits seven days before the list field 'Start Date' an email is sent. Great!What I want to do is to assign a task when it's one day away from the 'Start Date'. So is there a simple way of doing this using what I've already built or do I need to build another line with a Calculate date action and loop?

Hi How we can return last sharepoint list item by using lookup function, I am using given below lookup but it is return value for first list item , not the value of last list item.  lookup("TestList","Title",Title,"Created" )

I am designing a workflow that successfully pulls in a text field "Primary Service" but seems to also include what I presume to be the Term Store ID of the value. (The list uses the term store for that field.)  Common among all results is the presence of a pipe ( | ) followed by information I don't need.Because Primary Service will be variable in length, I cannot seem to use the fn-remove(). If there was a way to count the characters beforehand I suppose I could make this work but I can't find a facility to help with this.1. What would be the best approach to address this problem? (I found similar examples but none specific to this one.)2. If the remove() function is still a possibility (or other function), is there a "and follow" character that would allow me to delete everything to the right of and including the pipe?This is my first foray into using inline functions so detail is welcome.

I have created a workflow that at a certain stage must update the content controls in a document.The workflow can update a blank document with just a couple content controls but nothing else, but when it is run on a document with a number of word features such as table of contents etc.. it cannot update the content controls.My questions is, is there certain word 'features' that prevent the nintex workflows from updating content controls in .docx word document?

Hello,can somebody help me creating a simple workflow that does generate the following reference:- ABCD{CurrentYear}000example: ABCD17001 | ABCD17002 | ABCD17003 etc.However, when it reaches year 18 then the digits should start from 1 again e.g ABCD18001 / 002 / 003 etc.By this, the 3 zeros means there is 999 items gap per year.Is it doable with a non complicated workflow as I am not advanced.Cheers.SEE THE WORKFLOW ATTACHED

I didn't know where else to put this, but for some reason here in the community I cannot update my status in my profile. When I click on the link, it just takes me to my Activity. Is there a bug with that link or I just don't know what I am doing?
