If a lookup component in workflow like 'Query List' etc is having a value with apostrophe, the workflow is getting terminated:For example:If in the configuration below if {Variable:Brand} is having a value like xyz's (apostrophe inside) then the workflow is terminating throwing the error like  substringof('xyz's',Brand/Title)" is not valid...I have sorted it with a trick but not to an extreme satisfaction. I am not sure whether it's a bug or not but it seems a bug to me in NINTEX.Let me know if you have any information about this.

We are migrating 1200 IBM Notes applications to 1200 individual SharePoint sub sites. On the Notes side each of the applications share the same template design - so the structure of each Notes application is the same.We have a set of Nintex workflows that we want each of the 1200 sub sites to have in place.  Is there a way to have these workflows included in the sub sites when they are created, or do we need to create the sub site first and then manually import the workflows?

From the documentation I have found I have created the K2 connection in Microsoft flow. This however only creates actions (i.e. start a workflow etc...). I want to create a trigger to listen out for K2 events (such as specific task being created) and then complete an action for internally built systems outside of K2 and SharePoint.  Does anyone have any advice for this?  Thanks

Hi all,In Nintex Workflow it is possible to create an AD group using "Create AD group" action. Once the object is created in AD using Nintex Workflow its class is "Group". However I would like to create an object of "Organizational Unit" class.Like on the screen shot below, "Test" is an "Organizational Unit" object in AD and "4" as well as "5" are "Group" type object.Could you please tell me if it's possible to create such object in AD using Nintex Workflow and if yes can you explain how to do that?Many thanks,Rafal

I am working on a workflow that is giving me trouble.  My intent is to start the workflow by deleting all the items in a list and then repopulate the entire list with new up to date data.For the sake of argument let's assume the list contains 8,000 rows.To delete all items I am...1) Query List - All ID's in the list assigned to a Collection variable2) For Each - For each ID in the Collection variable assign an ID to a variable     2a) Delete Item - Delete the ID that was assigned to the variable in step 23) Additional steps to re-populate the data.Does anyone have any experience trying to delete all items from a list on a schedule?  I know the Delete Item will delete a whole row if you delete the ID for that row.  I have tested that.  I can even do 100 at a time without a if I loop through a specific list of sequential ID's using a loop.  That obviously won't work as the ID's change as the list would get updated.Logically I think my thought process is correct for how this should work b

If the new folder ends with the same name as the parent folderi.e. <AAA>/<BBB>/<folderBBB>then folderBBB is not getting created and I am not getting any error also.if the new folder is not ending with the same name as the parent folder then the sub folder is getting created successfully.I am creating the folder using Create Item action with folder content type.

Hi community,I hope that this has already been done by someone:I have a choice field (drop down) with fill-in possibility:Customer wants to have a mutual reset, i.e. if "Individueller Raum" is choosen, the above selection should be reset and vice versa.

I have been tasked with updating our current installs of Nintex Forms and Workflow.We are currently on version 2.9.0.0 for Forms and version 3.1.7.0 for Workflow. Where do I get patches for Nintex and which article best describes the upgrade process?TIA

 Symptoms We are using a Windows Active Directory account for our K2 admin account. We are interested in managing the password for this account using password vault software that will automatically change the password on a predetermined schedule. Since the password for this account is entered during the installation of K2 blackpearl, we would like to verify that managing this account's password in this way would not impact the K2 blackpearl application. Diagnoses Configuration must be run for Blackpearl and Smartforms after the user account has it's password changed. Resolution Password is being changed for user account automatically but, in order to have the password change run over to K2 as well, the configuration for Blackpearl and Smartforms must be run with the new user credentials for the admin accounts. When the configuration tool is run this is when K2 saves the password and username. K2 will not react when the password is changed in AD and update the configuration automaticall

Is it possible to use a Call Web Service to get the GUID of a site? My research indicates that this is only possible via PowerShell. If it's possible for the workflow to get a list GUID, is it possible to also get a site GUID?

I have a request to make a checkbox section of a form a static size vs auto-expanding.  They would like this to happen because the amount of items that could be added would make the form itself fairly long. The idea layout would be fixed size areas for the checkbox sections with scrolling so the other options could be viewed. Or perhaps keep the form itself one size and force the checkbox sections to scroll? (Adding a VERTICAL scrolling bars to a checkbox choice panel)

Can someone please explain the difference between Set Field Value and Update Item, and what factors should influence the choice of which action to use? Thanks!

Hello there. I have an issue that doesn't make a lot of sense to me right now, but I'm hoping one of you might be able to shine some light on what is happening. Let us say that I have three individual List Workflows. W1, W2, and W3 (creative, right!?). The way I have them set up is that, W1 invoked automatically due to start conditions, and based on some workflow logic, might execute W2.The Start Workflow action used to start W2 has the 'Wait for the workflow to complete before continuing' box checked. Inside of W2, there is some logic that will execute W3. Just like the other Start Workflow Action, it too has the 'Wait for the workflow to complete before continuing', buuuuut... that never happens. Instead, W2 gets to the Start Workflow Action of W3, starts it, but then STOPS waiting, finishing itself out, which in turn finishes W1 out, while W3 is sent into the 'starting' phase as if it were not executed immediately. It will eventually run and complete around 5 minutes later which ind

Hello all,I'd like to search list and display relevant item/items. I have list where one of the column is "User" - where field type is Person or Group. In the form I placed People control and List view. I'd like based on People control to find and display relevant items in the list view. Do you know how can I achieve this?Thanks

I see this section at the bottom right of the home screen. How exactly do we welcome new members? I don't see an "Introduce Yourself" section or "New Member Section" of the Community.

I am using Nintex Workflow for SharePoint 2010. I have a list column based on a lookup value. The column does not require a value to be set. I use a workflow to set the value of the column with no problem. I am now trying to REMOVE the value from the column but I can't figure out how to do it.I've used the Set Field Value action with zero. I've set a List Item ID variable to NULL, I've even used an empty text variable, but I get one error or another.Any ideas?Thank you.

Hello,I have a form with a repeating section. I described in this thread that inside of this section is a field that I would like to format as a currency field. It seems to be difficult. So I think I have to use a Javascript and format that field when a "onblur" event is fired. On another form I have a similar case and there we used a CSS Class "clsEuroFormat" defined at a single line textfield in the settings Formatting -> Control CSS class. The corresponding Javascript file contain this working function:function:"$(document).on("blur", ".clsEuroFormat", function () {            /* call a function e.g.  formatCurrency(this); */            });Following this example I definded a similar class for the field in the repeating section. But the event "onblur" is not fired when leaving the field.My problem at this point is that I have not found out how to define correctly the selector (the blue colored string in the code above) and I don't know the reason. May be one part of the reason is

This simple rule engine allows business rules to be defined in an XML file. Using business rules, the workflow path becomes dynamic without the need to fix the path.     Benefits includes:  - Dynamic flow  - Workflow view will not be overly large  - Add/Modify/Delete route without requiring redeployment of workflow  - Add/Modify/Delete route within the XML file     Note: Downloaded assembly will only read from XML file. This version will only accept a single grouping of rules with AND conditions (x AND y == z) and simple comparison (x=y). To use more complex rules (multiple groupings and comparison) please contact author for paid version.     How to use this smartobject  The smartobject can either be used in the smartforms layer (i.e. call the smartobject action to retrieve the route ID before triggering the workflow) or from the workflow itself (i.e. use a smartobject event and pass in the input values to retrieve the route). 

I am creating a custom action through Visual Studio. I added a reference to Spire.Pdf. I deployed the custom action and added the custom action to my workflow, however I am receiving the following error.Error in Basic Action. Could not load file or assembly 'Spire.Pdf, Version=3.9.462.2040, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=663f351905198cb3' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.Error

I have a repeater control on nintex form with multiple fields. In which one field is status (choice field), it's property is set as visibility=yes enabled=no. When i save the form, in the xml for repeater control data, only for this status column...type is missing in the attribute.  it is saved as <Status /> instead it should have saved as <Status type="System.String" />. What could be the issue?

Is there a way to set up a workflow so when a certain dollar threshold is entered into the form, it triggers a different set of approvers? For example; I have 3 level of approval based on the dollar threshold of the item. If the item is $100K, then I need 5 different people to approve. if $500K then I need the previous 5 + 1 level higher etc. I haven't even started this, but couldn't find anything on the site.

I'm in need of expertise and guidance with creating a workflow that will loop though a list of data and trigger an email based on a column variable within that list.My list has several columns of data which one of them is the Date that an associate completed and submitted the required Nintex form. I then created a column called Time Duration that basically just calculates the days from current/today's date and when the form was submitted. The email notifications I need to send will be triggered on the Time Duration info if over 12 months (or greater than 365).So what I need is to loop though this list (our team wants this to run weekly) and generate a notification email. However, I have not built a workflow loop and this is where I am in need of guidance.I have seem some posts that are using Web Services and some that are using multiple workflows, but those each don't quite fit what I am looking to do.
