I have a SharePoint 2013 farm (3 app servers, 2 web servers, and a SQL server) and at one point our previous SharePoint administrator installed a Nintex solution on the farm. It has since been removed and now I am getting plagued with issues with our form workflows. Our forms are built in InfoPath and our Workflows are all built through SharePoint Designer.When a Workflow kicks off, it is quickly going into a "Failed on Start" status. When I log onto the server and check the ULS logs the error that coincides with my workflows failing is as follows:"Load Workflow Class: System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException: Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation. ---> System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not load file or assembly 'Nintex.Workflow, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=913f6bae0ca5ae12' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified."The problem is, we no longer have any Nintex solutions deployed on the farm. So I don't see
I have 2 Lists. List A has a look-up field where multiple values can be selected. I store the ID. Thus the record may look like the below:List AID  Title    Color  Lookup Designer:ID1  My Idea  Blue       55;59When a new record is created in List A I would then like to update List B with the List A ID. I know a split can be done to extract the 55 and 59, but how do I essentially do a split and loop thru the split values found in the new record from List A and update List B with the List A ID ?List BID   List A UID55    159    1
I hope that this post isn't too long, but I need to explain the issue as fully as possible to get to the correct answer. Not only am I new to Nintex, I am new to SharePoint, so this is not a learning curve, it is more of a learning cliff...I also apologize if this post is in the wrong area!I work with the West Point Army Band. When an event requires music to be played, we fill out a "support form." This form is nestled inside of SharePoint and sits within a library. I want to create a workflow that accomplishes the following actions:Upon form submission, it sends an email to a group of people (this, I have managed to do), afterwards, I want to it to create an event in the SharePoint calendar (so that all can see). However, I don't have static user names and passwords. The credentials used to access the computer (and SharePoint) are linked to the Common Access Card (CAC) that is different for every person.  So, if you don't have permissions to access SharePoint, you wouldn't be a
Hello!I've been working on a Nintex Form all year. I have just integrated it with my Nintex Workflow that I have been using successfully for a few years now. I changed a question in the 2018 Nintex form that I needed to update in the imported 2017 workflow for 2018. However, the runtime function is blank in the version I imported. Below are screen shots of the 2017 configure pop up and the 2018 configure pop up. The change was the name of the question from "Project/Job Category" to "What Type of Job are you submitting?" Please help!
Within a (Request review) task form, I need a List Lookup control to show the value which was selected in the form of the list item that the workflow is running on.(See also the attached screenshot)I know I could use a calculated value, but I want the reviewer to be able to change the value if necessary...How can I achieve this?Thanks in advance!(Nintex Workflow & Forms 2010)
Hey guys,First off, this is my First Post , and English isn't my native Language, so sorry for possible upcoming mistakes.So iam using Nintex Forms 2013 on SharePoint onPremise and we got the latest September Update.We started using the new Nintex Forms Responsive Design and got some Problems now.The Date Picker got an transparent background.In the screenshot below it's a new Form, without any modifications, and i don't think its intended that the background is transparent?Does anyone have an idea, what the reason could be?I am thankful for any idea, tip.Greetings,Javannintexforms‌‌‌‌
I'm a bit confused on this one, I suppose this would be the first time I tried to "Run if" on a Nintex form List Lookup field. I have the list lookup which creates a cascading drop-down to another field and I need to evaluate that field (Commodity) to determine if a section of my workflow should run; however, I cannot seem to get this to work. I've tried using the list column name then I thought perhaps it's storing it as a foreign key to the lookup list numerically so I stored the ID to another column in my list and tried that and it didn't work. So then I created a calculated field and connected it to a form variable to I could see what was there and I got back "4;#Computing Equipment" so I tried using that in the Run If and it didn't work.Basically I know I am missing something obvious but I don't know what it is and I've exhausted my thoughts. Any help would be appreciated.Thanks

Hi!I'm tying myself up in knots trying to figure out the best way to deal with a secondary approval cycle.Firstly - is it ok to add a state machine within an existing state machine branch, or is there a better way? Here is a snapshot of what I have so far:At the moment I've inserted a Switch action to show the different branches which consist of: Live; On Hold; Cancelled; Closed.  There is potential for the status of the item to switch between Live and On Hold multiple times until it is either Cancelled or Closed. To achieve this, would be it best to add another State Machine, or use Looping? I tend not to use Looping where possible, but am open to it if advised.Thank you for your time
I am trying to archive the data from one list to another. I use the query list and it returns zero record but when I put the same filters on the list, it will return records. I am trying to figure out how to use the query list to run the workflow to move certain items in the list. Can someone help me?
Ok first time asking a question here, hope it makes sense.I've been racking my brain how to do this using nintex workflows or any other option. I have a list that has a calculated column called 'NewSetup'. I have another lookup column in the same list called 'NewSetup_lkup'. This lookup column points to a list that has a list of values that will match to the value of the calculated column. I want to copy the calculated value in 'NewSetup' to the lookup column 'NewSetup_lkup' that has the same text value as 'NewSetup'.I realize lookup columns use IDs instead of text, that's where i'm stuck. Not sure how to update a lookup value using text to match that up with the ID of the lookup list.Any guidance/recommendations appreciated!
I'm working with a nintex form to implement changes at some process in the company.I have a field in it form called Process. It is a choice field and is showed in the form as checkboxs.The user can select the proccess that are present in the change that he would like to do.I have another a list with two fields Process (text field type) and Approver (person or group field type)When the user save the form a nintex workflow is started and I need to check in a list the process that the user selected and get the name of the approver for each process selected. Then I need to set the participants of the block called Start a Task Process with these approvers. I tried to do that with a foreach loop of the field process but i had not success.Please, can someone help me to achieve thisThank you
Hi, I am trying to prevent a workflow from running until a date/time entry field is not blank.I followed the tutorial here https://askmanisha.wordpress.com/2014/06/19/check-if-date-time-field-is-empty-using-nintex/ to create set a date/time variable called DueDate to 1/1/0001 using the convert action.I then set the wait for update action as follows:my date time/fieldnot equalsworkflow data:Due variable (set to 1/1/001).However the action doesn't fire/see the variable as blank (even though I checked at the time of compare) the date/time field is blank - using log to history. I noticed using a condition and checking if the date time field is equal to the DueDate variable it works OK. What is the deal with the wait for update item action?I also noticed that if you set the wait for item update action to wait for a text field value to change, and the text field gets updated by another workflow using a web service to update the field, the update item continues to pause and doesn't fire, cont
Hey AllThis is more or less same topic as here:https://community.nintex.com/thread/14345-flexi-task-error-in-task-object-reference-not-set-to-an-instance-of-an-objectThe workflow did work in the past and all of sudden there is an error:Error in task. Object reference not set to an instance of an objectThe content list called Forms has got following users:Members (contribution rights)Secretary (approval rights)The Workflow Task has got Secretary (approval rights).
For some reason, a proper validation of a yes/no checkbox on a form is eluding me. I've created a validation rule of: {Self}=="No"to trigger a message to check the box, but the validation doesn't trigger. I've tried using values of no, No, False, false, FALSE, and even tried coming at it from the other way, e.g. {Self}!="Yes"  I've verified that the field contents properly get stored as "No" or "Yes".  What gives?
I have a multi-line textbox that I want to make sure contains at least 20 characters or more. If it does not, I need an error to be thrown.Any help is greatly appreciated, I searched the forums and couldn't find exactly what I am wanting to do.
#1For this question Cassy suggests that I "Or filtering your drop down control by your freshness control" How would I do this....#2Also for a lookup field within a Nintex form is it possible to display the records by a sorted value.such as the create date. Currently my form has the lookup value column called Meat Product, but I have been asked to display the records in sort value of Create Date.Meat Product CreatedTurkey       12/19/2017Lamb        12/15/2017
In a nintex form I have a lookup field to a Library called "Meat". The field I am looking up in the "Meat" Library is a field called "Meat Product". It has worked great for about a month, but now the users only want to see "Meat Product" lookup values if the field called "Freshness" (also in the "Meat" library). reflects a value of "Fresh". If the value is "Expired" the associated field called "Meat Product" should not be available from the lookup value.Any suggestions ?
Hello, Can we scan a barcode with Nintex mobile and the application opens a file corresponding to the scanned product, please ?Thanks for your answer
I've created a site collection reusable workflow template for use in a document library approval process.However, when I try to get to run conditionally from the Workflow Start options, it doesn't run. After reading more of the Nintex Workflow documentation, it seems that only list or library workflows can be started with options (run on new, modified, conditionally).Is there a work-around for this limitation? I would like to trigger this from a yes/no checkbox on the document.Any ideas?-Ken

Hello!I've built a job request form in Nintex. Within it is a name field called "Project/Job Requestor". It's out of the box field. Interestingly enough I was told the out of box required options weren't supposed to work; they do and did in the preview and then only worked for some when I actually published the form. It's still on the back end with my leadership for final testing before I push it out to the company at the end of the year for 2018 requests. For some reason when I look at the list view the project job requestor doesn't show up. I confirmed that it shows in the edit properties option so there is no reason why it won't show in the list view. I thought it was because I wasn't testing the required option and at first didn't enter a name but I entered a separate request and completed all the necessary fields and still it doesn't show up. Thoughts?
Hi!I have had a situation where I've had to cancel a running workflow on an item due to a necessary workflow amendment.When I ran the new workflow on the item it logged myself as the Initiator and therefore lost the original details.Does anyone know what the best way is to retain/log the name of the original Initiator in case this should happen again?Thank you
I have a currency type column in list. In my workflow i am taking this value and keeping it in a number variable. when i display this number, i wanted to display like comma separated eg. 1,23,223 or 6,220. How to achieve this in workflow.
I've created a workflow that I would like to start on a condition that a field has changed. Below is a screenshot of my workflow settings - Seems pretty simple, I'm comparing the previous value of the field to the current value of the field, and if they don't equal, the workflow should start. It's not working. What am I missing? I've had other conditional start issues in the past, but I've just worked around them.Thanks!
