Has any one ever used blackpearl to execute a powershell script? How about a .bat file. Can you dynamically pass them data?

How do you configure workflow to kickoff a batch file or program executable from a server directory? I have a client who is trying to have this be the final activity in the workflow.

Hi all,I have a Document Library called DecEnd. We need to display this list on a form (attached to another library called Master Entries) in grid view as we need users to edit in-line (hence why we are not using the list view control) as it appears not to show in grid view -datasheet view).As I say we require the page viewer control to show items on the form from the DecEnd library filtered via a field control on the form named 'Master Reference'. This  column is present in both lists - single line of text.We have tried using a filter parameter in the url (in source field ) on the page viewer control but it appears to remove everything after ShowInGrid%3DTrue.Our current string with named form control 'MasterReference' added at the end:http://ourSiteCollectionUrl/DecEnd/_layouts/15/start.aspx#/SitePages/TransitEditViewCAPITA.aspx#InplviewHashfbf75685-d0f0-4388-b8a5-d0234953e43c=ShowInGrid%3DTrue-FilterField1%3DMasterPolicyActivityReference-FilterValue1%3DMasterReferenceCan anyone help

Hi Guys,Is there any way to show attachments on workflow item without the use of web service? I just need the approver to be able to read the attachments and approve or reject.

My scenario is, I have one document library which is read only to everyone. However, any users can request for deleting the document in it. I have a customize delete button on the ribbon (not OOTB delete button), this delete button will trigger the event to capture the comment of user (why he/she want to delete this document). After the user input the comment and submit for deletion, the workflow start kick-off. Can we trigger the workflow with system account like impersonate from this button event? To run the workflow directly from the library, the user should have at least contribute permission, right?Did anyone implement this kind of situation? Kindly advise if there a way to initiate the workflow with system account? Thanks.

I need to populate a field with a predefined title such as "CHG0001." The "1" being the ID for the item we are about to enter. So I believe I need to pull the ID from the newest item and add one to populate this field. Anyone have this before?

I created a nintex form with mobile layouts for the phone and Ipad and the dropdowns have stopped working on the Ipad. I am accessing them through safari and when I tap on the dropdown menu the dialog box that shows my choices does't populate. The dropdowns were working before but they recently have stopped working as intended. If someone can help me out it would be much appreciated. 

Hi every one,I wonder if anybody can give me a hint.I have the following constellation, List Master and a List Slave within the Slave List I have a Look up Element “Offer” which will look Item in the Master list. In the Slave List I create Workflow Tasks, what I’ am  trying to reach, List Master, List Slave and also the Workflow Task Item should share the Look up Item “Offer” (which is the master List Item Id) in order to have all three of them hooked together in a Web SiteI made a Nintex-Workflow that will start in the Workflow Tasks List when a document is created, unfortunately it does not work properly. The Workflow through every once in a while an exception and just quits working.What I do is, stop the Workflow and start it again from the List Item, and it works properly and as expected.What configuration should I make? Or does anybody has another approach to have the Master List ID in the Workflow Task?Thank you for any hint

I came around this during my last custom project and didn't find an out of the box function or any info when searching here on Connect for an answer how to solve this problem.Now as I found a solution (or workaround), I want to share it with you. The challenge was to have fields in SharePoint NOT required, but on the form they MUST be required. As a further consequence the Save button had to be disabled because else required fields are not very useful.So there are three steps to realize that.1. I added a red asterix to the field labels (really basic)2. Make the field required with a validation rule3. For each field you set required, you also have to create a formatting rule on the Save button to disable itNow the Save button should be greyed out until all required fields are not null or empty.Have fun!P.S.: if there is an out of the box function that could avoid this workaround, please reply and let me know! ;-)

We have a list that was created in one SharePoint 2013 Web Application that utilizes a Nintex Form and also a Nintex Workflow.  We attempted to move the list to our Development environment so that we could make changes to the form/workflow.1.  We saved the list as a template.2.  We used that template to create a new list in the Development environment.3.  We opened the Nintex form and published it.Here is where the problem occurs.  When I open the form in the Form Designer and click Preview, I get the error that says there has been an unexpected error.  I can publish the form without error, but when I attempt to create a new list item, I get the same "Unexpected error."I have been searching for guidance on moving lists that use Nintex forms and I can't find any possible reason I get an error.  The list itself does not contain any lookups and only one People field.  All the rest are text, numbers and currency.I have not attempted to move the workflow to the new list because the form won

Hi,Below is a simple workflow where I upload a document and an approval is requested. Once the approver approves, the content controls inside the document need to be updated by Managers Display name. It doesn't do that. I keep getting an error " One or more fields require a different type of information." Not sure what is going on here.I am only trying to update a content control not the fields in the library. Please help. I have been struggling with this issue for a long time and tried several things ..nothing really helped.Thanks in advance...

Hi I have a Nintex form in a SharePoint List. With respect to my requirements, this list should not contain any records/items with duplicate attachments. Is there some kind of a validation rule I could setup for my attachments control on the Nintex form to achieve this? If yes and if there is some kind of a special formula involved, can someone kindly give me some direction on how to write it?Thanks and regards,-Sean

In the Update Document action there is a "Preserve formatting" button. Checking or unchecking the button appears to have no effect on the text in the control.What I want to do is retain the text from the rich text SharePoint field. It really only some bold text, but the whole of the text shouldn't be bold. Does anyone know how to make this work?

I have a custom list for expense reimbursement request submission. Users attach multiple pdf files (receipts) when they submit an expense reimbursement. So the goal is to after managers' approvals each request the form and the attached files will be merged to a single pdf file and will be saved to a specific document library. Our security team will not allow to use muhimbi. So is there any other solution available to achieve this functionality? Thank you all.

We have an issue with a workflow somehow running twice independently. Starting point is a parent workflow containing a loop to create several items in a related list. In that related list an approval workflow starts for each newly created item. Often this approval workflow runs twice which is evidenced by the following symptoms:There is only 1 Flexi-Task in the workflow, but 2 identical items are created in the Workflow Tasks listUpdate-item-actions are performed twiceOnly one of the Flexi-Tasks can be completed, the other is not reachableWe checked the nintex-DB, if this workflow runs twice, because the GUI did not show a second workflow running on the list item. The nintex-DB show only one workflow running on that item in the “Administration Reports”.Anyone with the same issue? Any suggestions to resolve the issue?

Hello erveryone,I just stumbled into a problem. I just download the latest release of Nintex Workflow from the community portal and put the installer on my only frontend server and ran it under the sharepoint service account. The installer ran just fine and I could deploy the solutions (all) successfully to the farm servers. But now no entries for Nintex workflow show up in central administration...I did theEnable-SPFeature -Identity "NintexWorkflowAdmin" -Url http://CentralAdminURLfrom this post already. Without -force I get an error telling me it is already enabled. With -force it goes thorugh. In both cases no change.Re-running the installer ... no luck. Extracting the setup und running the powershell install.ps1 ... no luck.Is there anybody around with an idea? Any help is greatly appreciated.Greetings from Germany,Martin

I have a workflow that sends a task to multiple individuals listed in a people picker field of a list. When it creates the task, it sends separate tasks to all the individuals and they are unable to see who else has received the same task. I do not have the box checked that says "Send individual tasks to group members". If that is not checked, shouldn't the workflow send it to everyone? How do I get the workflow to do this?
