Hi Everyone,Does anyone have any previous experience of trying to capacity plan for SharePoint List items that have been created using Nintex Forms 2013?I have some sample lists with 40 to 50 items in them. I can divide the list size by the number of items but this does not seem an exact science as some lists seem bigger than others even when the forms appear a similar size.I need to plan for somewhere in the region of 600,000 items spread across 30 lists.I appreciate that there is no right or exact answer as there are so many variables but if anyone can share their experiences or current capacities with me I would be really grateful and give me some kind of benchmark.Kind RegardsNeil

Is Visual Studio Professional required or will the Community version work?

Hey there, I have a problem and I can not fix it by my self. I am working with Nintex Forms 2013. Goal: I want to save the creator of a new form by the calculated value.Momentary state: I have a calculated value. The formula is "CurrentUser" Problem: Every time someone edits the form, the field updates the "CurrentUser" but I want that the Creator of the form will be saved and the field never changes the content.And now I don't want to use a People Picker   Is it possible to save the creator of the form via the Callculated Value field?

I have a nintex form with two sections which relates to a person approving two different things.What I need is the person who approved section one only to be able to approve section 2. The approved field is a choice field with two choices: To be confirmed (default) and approved.When the approved field is completed the system collects the username of the person who updated the field and put it in the approver name field.What validation do I need?Can you say that a field must be completed by username xxxxxx?

I'm probably being really thick here. It's part of an on-going workflow. I've got a library called 'StartersandLeavers'. I'm using a number of Query List actions to return results and store them in variables, but someone has suggested that this may be causing problems and has suggested that I configure just one Query List Action to return all of the results.So I set the list to 'StartersandLeavers', the Filter to 'Select all list items' then in the sort I select the field I want and save it to the variable I want, but I can't see a way to select another field and save it to another variable? I presumed that's the way it would work, or am I taking the wrong approach?Any help appreciated.

I have ldap outputCN=TinyTim3,OU=Pending Assigment,OU=SplitPositions,OU=Staff,DC=instructional,DC=savannah,DC=chatham,DC=k12,DC=ga,DC=usSharepoint and Nintex workflow 2013How do i get the text   TinyTim3     extracted from this string?Do i use regular expression? If so what would extract the data?I tried Query XML to no success.Thanks for your help.

Generally when end user submit their application, i will set the permission as Read (application will use for evidence, not allow them to modify after workflow start), but in some case they want to cancel the workflow. I can see the workflow can be cancelled by manually start a workflow from item menu Ability to cancel a workflow , but manually start a workflow need contribute or edit permission? Minimum permissions to publish or start a workflow Is it possible to allow end user cancel the workflow but not give them edit permission?

List lookup controls (currently) only allow for display as either a drop down list, or option buttons. But I'd like to return the results of a list lookup (filtered on the value of another control) into a repeating section via a button. The repeating section will then allow the user to modify contents before submission. If it's not possible as a repeating section, then a multiple line text box might be acceptable.How can this be achieved?

Within a task form of a "Request approval" I want to display the title of the list item on which the workflow is running on. But after I submit the task (no matter if I approve or reject) the title gets deleted.I already tried to change the control mode to "Display" and even replaced the "Single Line Textbox" control by a "Calculated Value" one, but without success.What can be the reason for this?I am working with Nintex 2010 and Sharepoint 2010.Thanks in advance.

I have a classic task form. The user is using an iPad. He/She select the decision (Approved or Reject). When OK is clicked an error message appears.  However, the responsive task forms are not giving any error and work perfectly on an iPad. Does any of you are having this issue? Thanks, Glenda

I am not able to see the action 'Declare as Record' in my Nintex 2016 workflow. The settings is checked in central Admin, Nintex workflow management, Action is checked for both libraries and lists.Any help is appreciatedRegards,Rashmi

Hello everyone,I'm hoping what I am about to ask is possible in some way.The scenario: there are two lists. The first list is a list of cables that are connected to two rooms.The building and room columns are lookup fields.   Cable NameBuilding1Room1Building2Room2Short CableNorth BuildingN01South BuildingS01Medium CableSouth BuildingS01West BuildingW01Long CableEast BuildingE01North BuildingN01Which building comes first is arbitrary in each room. I.E. Medium CableSouth BuildingS01West BuildingW01is logically equivalent to Medium CableWest BuildingW01South BuildingS01For the second list I want to use a nintex form that can filter a Cable Name drop-down where it checks against two columns. If a user selects S01 in the Room drop-down, the cable name drop-down will filter to Short Cable or Medium Cable by checking to see if S01 is in Room1 or Room2.To help explain better here is a diagram:Currently I can filter where one column matches but I would to include matches against the second colu

Would like to know how to update the value in a managed metadata column in Nintex Forms 2013. Saw a post with some ideas but no clear explanation on what to do. Thanks.

Is it at all possible to have the "From" address dynamically populated as the Initiator value for an email notification? This WORKS fine for "To" and "CC" addresses. For my Send Notification action I can simply click on the "Browse" icon beside the "To" field and find the Initiator field under the "Lookup" section. However, when i try this in the "From" field it wont let me continue after i select "Initiator".Am i doing something wrong? Is there any workaround that would enable this type of functionality? 

How do I remove the Anonymous login as the Initiator of a workflow? I've checked permissions and have not provided access to Anonymous. With some research I found a few articles that refer to on premise farms, where services can be restarted, however this is an Office 365 SharePoint E3 license.  I've checked the Workflow health and it appears to be running.Thank you in advance,Dottie

I would like to declare an issue item as a record, based on a change to the status. It is trivial with the OOTB tools, but I cannot find the command in Nintex. It indicates that *This action requires Microsoft SharePoint Server, we are running SharePoint Enterprise. The other part of the workflow is updating various fields based on other status values, which is more easily done with Nintex so I was hoping to handle all of the options that way. Can I call a standard SharePoint Workflow from Nintex as a sub-workflow? Thanks.

 Symptoms Database Maintenance Best Practices Diagnoses Beyond the standard SQL Server backup / maintenance plans that we are currently doing, what does K2 recommend for database tier maintenance? Specifically are there certain tables (logs, temporary, etc) that must be purged on some frequency? Any documentation or direction is appreciated. Resolution 1. One area of consideration is database transaction logs this is true for most applications that use database transactions (whether is is K2, Sharepoint, etc.) and regular transaction database backup/truncation is usually SQL best practice.https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/2008.08.database.aspxTransaction database backups:https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms179478(v=sql.105).aspx** As the K2 database is using a "Full" Recovery model, database truncation will occur when performing a transaction database backuphttps://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms189085(v=sql.105).aspx** After the transaction database backup,

I have two List Lookup controls, both looking to different lists. I have RootCause looking to list "RootReasons" and then SubCause looking to "SubReasons". SubReasons has a column titled ParentReasonID which identifies what item in RootReasons is the SubReasons item parent. I also have a Calculated Value named RootNumber which takes the value of RootCause(returned like 34#;REASON TEXT HERE) and uses subString to trim that down to just the two digit number(which matches the two digit number I use in field ParentReasonID). Hopefully that makes sense.The RootCause control is working fine. I cannot get the SubCause control to bring back a filtered set of items. I'm sure I'm either setting a value incorrectly or expecting something to work in a way in which it doesn't.The SubCause Lookup control is pointing to SubReasons as it's Source List and then for List column name I have "Reasons". In the filtering options I have it set to "By a control's value", where field = ParentReasonID, and filt

We have a few calendars linked to outlook on our SharePoint (2013)and a number of events that are marked canceled which is cluttering the calendars. We like the feature of having people notified whenever they are canceled but would like to automatically remove them from the calendar after that as they are of no business value to us. Is this possible within Nintex?

I have a dropdown that has 5 values.  Based on the selection, I would like the label name to change on another field.For example, If the User selects Life Insurance, I would like a certain field on the list to show "Policy Number."  If they select Car Insurance, I would like the label to show as "Contract Number."I am thinking a Calculated Value is the best way to do this.  Using an IF == type function.  But I can't figure out the formula.  Please help!

Just wondering if there is way to remove the “Delete” option from attachment control in edit mode. I just need to be able to add more attachment’s after form submission but not delete the existing ones.

In my form, I have a field "Send to QA" with Yes/no dropdown.  I need a date field that will populate when set to Yes.  Any idea how I should do this?

In a notification (both independently, and in a task notification), I'll insert a link with reference token for both the URL and the hyperlink text.  If I save the notice & the workflow immediately, it appears to generate the correct text & href for the email.  However, if I open the notice again for any additional editing, the link text appears to looses it's token & convert to a text string of the name of the token itself.  The image shows the resulting change in source code.
