I have a form that has been used about 2800 times. A user just came to me today saying she experienced a problem with the form. The formatting rules suddenly didn't respond, while the corresponding validation rules did. She provided me with the following image:What should have happend is this:When she cancelled the form and started a new one the problem was solved.I have never seen this problem before. What could have caused this formatting rule hiccup?

I need to create a start workflow button for a workflow to run report weekly. Next to the button I'd like a dropdown box with a date field lookup containing all the report dates in the list. Once a date is selected the user will click the button and the workflow will set a variable to the report date. Is this possible in Nintex? I also have SPD, but the lack of design view in SPD makes this difficult for me.

 Symptoms We have a form, where a user can upload file attachments, followed by the user clicking a submit button.However, if the file is large (upload takes some time), and the user clicks the submit button before the upload is done, then the file handling done in the submit-button-clicked rule will not handle the file (which is still being uploaded).One solution would be to disable the submit button, while the file attachment control was working, but I can't seem to find any events except for: "Changed" on the control.How would I go about making sure that the user can't click on the submit button until the file attachment control finishes uploading the file? Diagnoses How To Resolution When you initialize the view, you have to disable the "submit" or "upload" button. When "on change" happens with the upload control, you can enable the button again.I reproduced this on SmartForms 1.0.7 

I created a form for our analysts to enter information based on their review of an item.  The manager would like to QA the work done by analyst.  However, he doesn't want to scroll through all of the fields in the form. He only needs certain fields to QA, approve and comment.  Is it possible to duplicate fields in another panel that will give the information the analyst entered just for the manager to look at?

I have a workflow that generates a word document and stores it as a listitem in a documentlib.This listitem also have 2 columns that I want to fill with value from the List lookup in Nintex Workflow. I cant find a way to do that.. I tried using the action called "Update List item" but  in the settings for that action when I select the documentlib as source and then try to find following field: "Name (linked to document with edit menu)" there is none..Generate documentation action sets " Name (linked to document with edit menu) " by default when storing it in the documentlib.. So basicly I cant do a where criteria..Any solutions is appreciated, 

Hi. How do I find out where all my Nintex workflows are located.  On the Subscription overview page, it says I have 16 Production workflows but I can only find 8 of them.  Is there a simple way to list all the workflows and what site / library they belong to.  Thanks.

We have C-level employees approving workflows via LazyApproval. Unfortunately this has a negative context and we are getting pushback by our workflow implementers to see if we can adjust this label.I see that the emails can be modified, but we are still seeing remnants of that verbage in our approval history. See attachment.Is there a way I can modify this? Thank you.

I have a form that has a label, drop down box and then 3 images next to the drop down. The images are hidden until a selection is made in the drop down. If status is green, the green image shows up, yellow shows yellow and red shows red.When the form is published, everything looks good. When I choose green, the image shows up. Same for Yellow. When I choose red, the image shows up, but throws my formatting off. I have tried a ton of options and combinations with no luck so far.This is driving me crazy! Any insight is appreciated. Edit view of form:Green selected:Yellow Selected:Red Selected:

i created a custom list in sharepoint 2013.There is a column in the form which should be enabled only when form is approved.how can i apply conditional formatting in this?Any help will be appreciated

Hi all,I wanted to ask for some input for the following scenario:Nintex Workflow: Creates a list itemNintex Forms: used as workflow start form.What I want to do: Redirect the user to the newly created list item (EditForm.aspx?ID=xxx in this case) after the form was submitted.I'm creating the list item by using the web service action. After that, I use the query XML action to parse the web service results, which gives me the new Item ID. I now tried to use the 'Forms Redirect URL' setting of my start form, and use the workflow variable to build the redirect URL. Unfortunately, the value of this variable is 0, which seems that the variable's value is fetched on form load.I tried to use the 'Load realtime workflow data' setting (which is kind of undocumented?), in the hope that the latest variable values are used, which was not the case.Can somebody help me with this?Many thanks,Tobi

Hi Emily,  I have a state machine workflow where1. state1 has a flexi task and state2 has wait for item update.2. Initially, it will enter to state1 and based on the task outcome selected it will go to state 2.3. In state2, it was waiting for a column to get updated and once the field is updated it again goes back to state1.4. At that time, when the user acts on the task it stucks in pending state for long period of time.Can anyone please help me to resolve this issue. Any alternate solution is there other than wait for item update because if i disable that particular control it is working fine.

When a flexi task uses the "Delegate task" type of escalation, how is the delegate notified that they now have a task assigned to them?I see where the original assignee gets a notification via the "Not Required Notification".  Surely the new assignee receives some sort of message.  I've run some simple tests, but have yet to see anything notifying the new assignee.Any help would be greatly appreciated.-Ken

I’m new to SharePoint Online and Nintex Workflows, but am working on building a workflow for travel approvals and authorizations. In essence, the Traveler should be able to submit a travel request/item within a List, and from there the request is then routed to a line of approvers. I have most of the workflow built out, but am running into issues with assigning tasks to the next approver in line as most of them exist in a specific “Group” (housed within the site’s “People and Groups”) and not within a List or the “Current Item” itself.Is there a way to “Assign a Task” to a “Group” within the SharePoint site’s “People and Groups”?Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

I am in need of help with adding to a Regular Expression. I currently have a field on my Nintex form that captures a prefix, with an expression of [a-zA-Z]+ so that it will only include alphas. However, I need to also have it exclude 2 certain words: auto and home.How do I build in an additional expression so that I can exclude entry of the words auto and home but also continue to allow the filed to capture alphas for the prefix.I have been searching around but each expression I try excludes the words but also excludes any alpha entry.

In a process I am asking for information. If I do not receive this information after 7 days I need to move on. I thought I could use a parallel action here, but then it waits 7 days no matter what. How can I wait for a duration, or continue once an action is taken. Screenshot of current mess-up below.

Hi team,I have a list which is used to send email to notifications to peoples in "CC Email To" field. In that field, I used person name and then used Set Variable workflow actions to look up their email in another list. The problem is that this workflow doesnt works if the field contains more values (>1). Please have a look and give me your nice ideas to fix it.Any support is highly appreciated.Thanks

I am stumped on a Nintex form that isn't submitting and thus running a workflow. I can complete my form and it returns all of the data in the list view, where the history is stored. However, I am unable to create and submit another new form unless I delete the row of data from a completed workflow.I have not seen this in any other workflows I have built. They run just as designed. This one just stumps me on why this is occurring. Any thoughts? I have attached a few screen shots for illustration.

I have a Flexi Task where it is assigned to 10 people.  If 1 of the 10 approve the other 9 do not need to approve and it moves to the next part of the Workflow. Everything has been working fine, but I noticed an odd result on a recent event. The flexi task shows it is in a Not Started status for all 10.  However, one of the individuals also has a Pending status assigned to her.  How is this possible. When I review the Workflow History there are actually 11 Workflow ID's.  Again for some reason an individual has 2 WF Task ID's a Pending and Not Started.Any ideas ?

By way of example, let's say I have the following three Single Line Text fields on a form:firstNamelastNamejobTitleand my Calculated Value, which is used for previewing purposes, uses the following formula:firstName + " " + lastName + ", " + jobTitleThe displayed result would be something like this:John Doe, ManagerBut I'd like to have the just the name appear in bold, as follows:John Doe, ManagerWhen applying a format to a Calculated Value, it applies to the entire field which is not ideal. Rich Text controls, on the other hand, allow for mixed formatting, however, they do not support Named Controls as references (only Item Properties).Can this be achieved?BTW I'm using Nintex Forms 2016 (v4.2.2.0).

Hi all - I have a process that will need to send out Email notifications at certain points in an approval workflow.The destination(s) are set to SharePoint Groups.  These SharePoint groups contain AD Groups - you follow me?  Hehe.Well, when I try to use the "Users and Groups" SmartObject to "Get E-mail For Group Users", and I plug in the destination group, it fails with errors like "no email specified".This SO only works on AD Groups?  So then I need to run a different SO to get the AD group, and pass that to this function.  However, it only accepts 1 value - we will will have multiple AD Groups in some cases.Any idea how to proceed? Also, as a side note, how could I get this to work on the assignment notification?  It fails as well :(.Thanks,Aaron

Hello Devs and Community,We have a form that we are trying to make ADA - Compliant since that is starting to become Law. We noticed that our Option, Checkboxes, and List - choice controls are not able to be tabbed into or tabbed through at all.  Is there a way to make them tab-able by keyboard?  Only Choice options that is tab-able at the moment is drop down boxes.Thanks,Kevin

I am using a choice field to display hidden panels with extended record information. When user saves the record, I do not what that choice value saved. That way when the record is opened again, the panel would remain hidden. I have searched, but couldn't find anything on this.

Hello All,I have a very fair simple workflow in place where it asks various managers for approval and then before it is finally send to the finance department for their approval > it will have to WAIT until 7 days before the required date of the request.So, this is how I did set it up:Required By is a date field where the user inputs the date by which the request is required bydateRequiredReminder is a variable set as Date/TimeThe workflow occasionally stops at Pause Until ... with incomplete message and no further errors or information.what am I doing wrong here? am I missing any other function?What can cause the PAUSE UNTIL not to complete and hand there for infinite.Workaround for me at minute is to upload another wf process and let it run from the Finance Account step.By doing this, there are 2 wf processes and when I terminate the initial process > the user gets an email about the process being canceled as well as sets the workflow status to CANCELED.

We are trying to get a print button that will also validate before printing as we have some forms that still require a signature (cannot use workflow approval).  We have tried using windows.print() however we have issues with the form fitting on one page.  Either the right side is cuttoff or we use fitt to page and it is really small.  Also, it requires teh end user to not print the header and footer of the web page (cannot rely on them).We have tried using the Print to PDF line  NWF.FormFiller.PrintToPDF.PrintToPDF(); this doesn't work well in that if all fields validate fine it does not go to the PDF since it is saving the form to the Sharepoint List/Library and it is now closed.  It only works if their is a required field that has no data....hmmm what else???

Hello All - I am working on a process where I am making multiple web service calls and pulling out bits of data to pass along to the next web service call. We can do this within Nintex Workflow for Office 365, but want to explore the possibilities using NWC.When I call the web service, my Response content Collection variable does contain data (JSON), but for some reason it is storing each character as an item in the collection. Here is my workflow and actions (just focusing on the first call):Web ServiceCount itemsSend EmailEmail:Response Code: 200Response Content: {"result":{"credentials":{"database":"xxxxxxxxxxxxx","sessionId":"4733467139606425463","userName":"xxxxxxxxxx@duqlight.com"},"path":"ThisServer","securityToken":{"database":"xxxxxxxxxxxxx","sessionId":"4733467139606425463","userName":"xxxxxxxxxx@duqlight.com"}},"jsonrpc":"2.0"}Collection Count: 278Check on Collection character count:Within Nintex Workflow for O365, I would simply put the response in a dictionary and be able
