Hi everybody.I ‘am trying to have a flexi Task assigned to a group of people, but when one of the Group members  grabs the Task, all other members should get a hint, when starting the same Task, that the colleague ‘someone’ is already working on the Task.My Steps were1- Active Directory Group ‘group’ (read from the active directory)2- Assign the flexi - Task to the Group,3- Uncheck ‘assign a task to each individual’My unexpected behaviors are:no Notification Mails are send (when an active directory Group is assigned)each member of the Group can edit the Task (unless the Task is completed)if I create a Collection with People Names (still with Unchecked ‘assign a task to each individual’) separate Tasks for each Person in the Collection will be created.Am I missing an Option? Or do I need a Work around.P.s.- (https://community.nintex.com/message/6604) does not seem to Work.- I ‘am working with Microsoft SharePoint Enterprise Server 2013 and Nintex Forms 2301 (2.10.1.0)

Hello guys,there are a lot of information and post about list lookup filtering, but in non-one i couldn't find the answer to my question:Is it possible to filter list by calculated value?In my case, i have several dropdown's and one calculated value control, which calculated string from what I chosen and then I want to filter my list with that value, but it seems not working. It's not allowed or it's Nintex bug? I'm using Nintex 2010 version 1.8.0.0.

In my repeating section, I'm trying to create a header row using Rich Text controls with an appropriate border and styles, but I'm unable to reduce the width below some kind of enforced minimum:Nothing in the stock CSS indicates that a minimum width is being enforced, so is this a limitation of the designer? Is there a way around this, or am I force to use two controls: one for the text label (with transparent background and border), and one for the container (with visible background and border)?This also applies to other controls like the Calculated Value, Single Line Textbox, etc.

Hi, what would be the right community or space to ask technical questions regarding Nintex Forms?

Hey Everyone, do you know if it's possible to change the message a user receives when a workflow is ended "unexpectedly?" I  have a workflow that I would like to run as long as the project status is not equal to "complete." I built a second workflow that kicks off when the status column is changed to "complete" that ends the currently running project workflow. The user does not like the error message that the workflow has ended "unexpectedly," because it was technically expected.I tried to add a run if action but it only checks the status after each action is complete, which could take time. Is there another way to do this so I can customize a message or how do I change the template message sent for all workflows? I just don't like the word "unexpected."ThanksKassie

I have just recently purchased Nintex Workflow.  I have a fresh installation.  Created a Document Library and when I went to create a workflow which only logged to the Workflow History and saved it. I received "Column 'NintexWorkflowID' does not exist.  It may have been deleted by another user.  How can I resoved this ?  This is SharePoint 2016 with Nintex Workflow 2016

Needed to remove Nintex apps to save a site as a template. After adding both apps Nintex Workflows and Nintex forms, I can't see the Nintex icons on the lists and libraries ribbon.

Hi,   I am trying to create a site workflow that runs on multiple lists once a week and sends notifications to whoever the item is assigned to, reminding them they have Open or Past Due items that require their attention. I can figure out the logic to create this in a List Workflow but because of the amount of items in each list I would really prefer not to have to manually start the workflow on every possible item. I know there is a way to schedule workflows with Site Workflows but I am unable to figure out the logic necessary to set the condition to capture the data for all Open or Past Due items.Thanks,Carl

Hi All,I have a very strange and annoying issue with Nintex Forms 2013 ( 2.11.0.1 ) where I can't see the contents of controls when trying to make changes.I tried to:1.Reset the form / create another list with new form / etc.2. Completely uninstall Nintex Forms and install it again3. Made another site collection and activate Forms there (it worked for couple of weeks before breaking again)Environment:Sharepoint 2013 FoundationI am open to any suggestions. I wonder if anyone else has experienced this strange behavior? 

I have a SharePoint 2010 site that houses a form which contains cascading drop-downs. Both the Desktop and Mobile apps work fine with my forms until I apply filtering to the controls. With the first list lookup I filter by a specific value, and in the second lookup, I filter by the value of the first lookup. The desktop version works flawlessly, while the Nintex App does not. Instead of showing any items from the lookup, it displays a blank screen.I have done a packet capture on my iPad to see what data is going in/out of the iPad when I run into the issue. I am getting a lot of 401 (unauthorized) and 500 error codes. After giving myself full permissions on the root site and subsite, I still get the same errors with no lookup data being displayed on the mobile form. I can provide other details if needed. Thank you in advanced.

I have a strange problem.Workflow-1 - I have 1 workflow that runs on creation of an item.  This workflow updates several fields.Workflow-2 - I have another workflow that runs only on modify with a condition that the modification is done by the initiator. My problem is, it appears that Workflow-2 runs when Workflow-1 Modifies a field.  Is that suppose to happen?  Below is the conditional statement in workflow settings for Workflow-2.  Is this set up correctly.  Any ideas?

Hi guys, I was trying to find a concrete question and answer of this topic but I wasn't successful, please correct me if I'm wrong and if its possible a link to it that question would be great .If there isn't such a question and relevant answer then I would be very thankful to you if you can help here.How can I create an 'Edit' display form using the Nintex Form application but without making the controls visible or not.I wasn't able to find a button/property ( lets say ) that would define the created Form as New, Edit or Display one.I'm newly member of this community and I have very little experience with Nintex forms, I'm still learning the capabilities of this application and that's why any advice/help here would be great. Thanks,Jovica

Hi all,I'm trying to use the filter functionality of the List Lookup ControlI've created a Nintex form that has:1. Business Unit (Managed Metadata column)2. Objective (Lookup to another list called Objectives)On the Objectives List, I have a column called Business Unit(s) (managed metadata) where users can enter one or more business units that an objective pertains to.So on my form, when a user selects a business unit, I want the Objective drop down to filter out only the records that contain the business unit.  Does this filter functionality work using managed metadata fields?   I know that if my Business Unit was a text field and the Business Unit(s) field on my lookup list was a multi-choice field this works.   But I need to get this working using managed metadata fields.Thanks in advance for your help!Troy

Hello everyone,I am trying to insert http links into the description field of an event in a SharePoint calender list using Nintex Workflow for SharePoint 2013. The workflow runs on the list, not the site.But when I set the description field using the "update field action", all the formatting goes out of the window. Even line breaks get lost.How do I retrieve the content of a multi line text field of a SharePoint list without breaking the existing format? (rich text?!?)How do I add content to a rich-text enabled field while keeping the format?Is it even possible to add a clickable link? ( ... It is using the SharePoint frontend.)Any ideas or input is welcome! I am really stuck right now.Greetings from Germany,Martin

New to Nintex, so this may be a beginner question. However, I'm having problem with my fresh Nintex Workflow. I made a workflow in a SharePoint 2013 environment, which is a copy from a working SharePoint 2010 environment. All actions are equal.I got this (and other errors) in the ULS-logFailed to create a control from assembly 'Nintex.Workflow.ServerControls, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=913f6bae0ca5ae12', class 'Nintex.Workflow.ServerControls.SiteActionsWorkflowMenu': The control with assembly name 'Nintex.Workflow.ServerControls, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=913f6bae0ca5ae12' class name 'Nintex.Workflow.ServerControls.SiteActionsWorkflowMenu' is not allowed for web at URL 'http://contoso.com'.

Is there a way to remove the Workflow column from the My Workflow Tasks web part? Can the view be changed?

I am working on updating Forms and Workflows for my 2013 environment.  We are currently on version 2.7.0.0.  I did not originally install the application(s) and am trying to determine where I should run the install.  Can you point me in the right direction? Also, is there a different install file for an update/upgrade of an existing install or do I use the installer located on the Product Download page?

I have a field where we store month like January, February.. December.. I have a requirement to fetch last month records. I am trying to get previous month based on current date. But unable.

 Question I want to sort a list in a view how would I go about doing this? Answer The process behind sorting is relatively simple and can be done by doing the following   1. Edit or create a list view that contains all of the sortable data you want to capture.   2. From the options in the view canvas select the Configure View Settings button:      When this option has been selected you should see the View Settings wizard:      From this screen click the configure button found in the Sort section.   3. On the configuration screen select Add which will add a sort column to the list. For this example the sorting of the lists ID's is being sorted in Ascending order.      4. Finish this wizard along with the View Settings wizard.   5. Save and run the view to make sure that the list is being sorted as specified. 

I created a SharePoint form that prompts users the following:Name of List to be accessedName of Column to be affected on above listName of List to collect information to be processedIn the processing I did a little fixing to the inputs such as trim spaces, and replace spaces with "_x0020_" so that it can pull the data properly using   Query List > CAMLto applied the following:<Query> <Lists> <List Title="{ItemProperty:Assignment_x0020_List_x0020_Name}" /> </Lists> <ViewFields> <FieldRef Name="ID" /> </ViewFields> <Where> <IsNull> <FieldRef Name='{WorkflowVariable:colname_fix}' /> </IsNull> </Where></Query>The problem I am having is that FieldRef accessing the variable flakes out and gives me this errorFailed to query list data. One or more field types are not installed properly. Go to the list settings page to delete these fields. although when printing the variable "colname_fix" matches correctly to the c

Hello Community,Is there a way to create Custom Action for Nintex Workflow in SharePoint 2016?I can't find updated SDK and the one for 2013 is full of deprecated methods...If no - what's the best approach/workaround? Service call?Thanks!

I need to send an email alert if 7 days have gone by since a date was entered in a field called 'Start Date'.In the Calculate Date field I've  got the Date as 'Workflow Context' and then 'Current Date' I've set up a variable called CheckDate which is where the information is stored. I've set the Days to '1'.On the Query List I've set the Filter to 'Start Date' is equal to CheckDate.  I've go the output to 'CheckDate' (I don't think this is right?)The idea is that I compare the Start Date to the 'CheckDate' and as soon as it hits todays day + 1 an alert I sent out.This is how I've configured the 'Set a condition' action but I'm pretty sure I've got it wrong...Can anyone nudge me in the right direction?

We are having a workflow end with "Error in task. Cannot find a corresponding human workflow task id for this task."The workflow only ends with this error if there is a user interaction command.  Other simpler commands run properly.  I have looked over the troubleshooting document and not finding anything specific to fix this issue.  Any suggestions?

I'm sending a notification right after a flexi-task decision, but the workflow is getting hung.I had a similar issue with multiple emails back to back as well.
