I'm currently in trial mode for Nintex Forms.  My company is trying out Nintex for Office 365 but so far, I have no desire to purchase a license.  I, however, have a customer who is on Nintex for SharePoint On Prem.  Despite my recommendation to do otherwise, they insist on having their form designed with this tool.  With that said, so far using this platform is extremely frustrating, so perhaps the Nintex Community can solve some mysteries and clarify things for me (crossing fingers).  Maybe it's a better tool than I think.  While the form definitely has more flexibility to design the look and feel with HTML, it doesn't seem to have the same ease of design in terms of placement and manipulation of fields like in InfoPath.There are no preset form layouts to start from for the Desktop.  If I select "Add More Layouts" there only preset ones for mobile devices.  If I wanted to have a multi-column form, how would I go about adding a column? Do I have to do all of that through HTML and CSS

We had a site workflow in our QA environment unexpectedly send out 100+ emails after we upgraded from 3.1.6.0  - the logic in the workflow contains a test on a Yes/No column so we suspect this was involved in the issue.  I have to write an incident report and document that we are confident this won't happen again.  To do this I need to know more about the exact nature of issue 31313.  Thanks

I am trying to get a Nintex Workflow 2010 Standard (Version: 2.4.9.0) to update a Person or Group field in a Sharepoint 2010 list and I am getting the error shown below:    The workflow could not update the item, possibly because one or more columns for the item require a different type of information.The value shown in the field is Work e-mail and the workflow is attempting to update that field with a Single line of text variable that contains the person's email from LDAP. I don't understand what the error is. Any help would be appreciated.

The JavaScript that I adapted from another post works well, but only on the first item of a repeating section. Basically it works along 2 lists lookups, setting the default value of the second one after the first one has been selected.Can someone please show me how to get this code working on all subsequent items added in a repeating section?I suspect that all that may be needed is to include the NWF.FormFiller.Events.RegisterRepeaterRowAdding or NWF.FormFiller.Events.RegisterRepeaterRowAdded function somewhere but where should it go as I'd no luck with it either.NWF$(document).ready(function () {NWF$("#" + ResponsibleBU).change(function () { NWF$("#" + ResponsibleBUEmailAddress).change();});NWF$("#" + ResponsibleBUEmailAddress).change(function () {var ResponsibleBUEmailAddressId = ResponsibleBUEmailAddress.substring(0, ResponsibleBUEmailAddress.length - 4);var len = NWF$("#" + ResponsibleBUEmailAddressId).find("option").length;if (len >= 2) { return delay(500).then(function () { NW

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? Thanks in advance.

Hello everyone and a happy new year,I'd like to experiment with the "Search query"-Workflow Action in Nintex Workflows 2016 but when I open the dialog, I get this error message: I already looked up in the Nintex Configuration pages in the Central Administration and for manuals in the Nintex database but I didn't find a hint.

Hi everyone, I'm new to Nintex forms 2013 and am running into an issue with the display formatting of a managed metadata field.  For some reason, all the CSS changes I've tried don't see to impact the manage metadata control.  There is always some sort of margin/padding around the box that I can't change and the button to bring up the termset is always positioned above the input box making the form larger in height for no real reason.Appreciate your help and look forward to everyones comments.

Hello,may be that I did not understandig correctly the function of a cascading dropdown. I see only examples where more than one dropdown is used, but every dropdown is showing data from an other list.So may be that there is a solution for my problem:I have created a custom list lets call it "DocItems" containig (amongst other fields) 3 columns: a number column "Number" and 2 single text line columns "Name" and "Version". No one of the mentioned colums contains unique values. Only the combination of the 3 values has to be unique. This is solved by a workflow. That means there can be more than one item containg a  '101' in column "Number" and also a "Description of XY" in colum "Name" as long as column "Version" has different values.A second list "DocOders" has a Nintex form for odering items from the above list. Per order only one item from the list "DocItems" can be selected. Therefore I have created a form with 3 dropdown fields "Number", "Name" and "Version". Other fields are contai

Hi All, I need to use this SP Services and Jquery autocomplete function fetch a data from a list called "myCityList" and populate the list data in a text field in an autocomplete fashion. The Challenge here is that now i need to connect to a "myCityList" which is on another site. Is there a way to connect to lists of different sites by using SP Services?Any help is appreciated.Below is the autocomplete code that i'm using:var itemSource = []; NWF$(document).ready(function () { NWF$().SPServices({ operation: "GetListItems", async: true, listName: "myCityList", CAMLQuery: '<Query><OrderBy><FieldRef Name='City' Ascending='True' /></OrderBy></Query>', CAMLViewFields: '<ViewFields><FieldRef Name='City' /></ViewFields>', completefunc: function (xData, Status) { NWF$(xData.responseXML).SPFilterNode("z:row").each(function () { itemSource.push(NWF$(this).attr("ows_City")); }); } }); NWF$("#" + myCity).autocomplete({ source: itemSource }); });

We integrates also with EXT.NET framework and with SQL server . how can we benefit from Nintex workflows and maintaining our application forms and design.

I attempted to create a monthly site workflow that would check items in a list that have not been approved to a "yes" status. Column is a choice field.  The column is either "no" or blank by default however, our team needs a monthly email with the titles, point of contact name, and the approval status of the "no" or blank approval statuses within the entire list.  

I followed this tutorial on how to create a cascade drop-down and I ran into 1 issue.  I created a control called MyFormStore within an EXISTING form, but the field does appear in my list settings.  The form works fine, but apparently the 2 new lookup fields I added directly on the form (right-click within the form and select Look-up field) will not work for an existing list ?
