I currently have a large number of document sets containing multiple documents and need to convert these word documents to pdf at a certain point in my workflow. Can anyone suggest the best way to go about this?

I’ve a site workflow with just one action (Email notification). The workflow works perfectly fine if I start it manually, but adding a schedule to execute the same workflow is not working. In the first instance i receive an email saying that the workflow failed to start and immediately i receive the actual email as a response to successful execution of the workflow.  I have checked the workflow schedule, the 'Last Run' value still says 'Not Run' and the 'Next Run' value hasn't been changed at all.I have checked the "Nintex Workflow Scheduler" Timer job and have used NWAdmin to enable it to run against the web application. I have cross checked whether if i have more than one "Nintex Workflow Scheduler" jobs, but no i only have one.I have run out of all options.Very much appreciate any help with this?Thanks,Nirmala

Hello,I've proven my cascading dropdown works when it's item lists being used, but i would like to have cascading dropdowns in a task list and it does not seem to work. I'm thinking it has something to do with the content type but don't know what about it is getting in the way. i have a setup just like the one exampled here: Three-Tier Cascading Drop Downs: Do Go Chasing Waterfalls! except that the master list is a task list instead. still with lookups.I'm currently just focused on getting one cascade to work so the third tier has no bearing now. i've tried making all the lists used task lists thinking it was a content type miscompare type issue. no progress.i've tried making a content type that had both item and task columns. no progress.Please forgive me if this is a silly fix, i'm still pretty green working in sharepoint and nintex in general.Thank You!Nute 

Hello all!As we know, it’s not possible to use Nintex Forms for customization of SharePoint document set’s forms. Anyway, I am trying to find a workaround for this restriction in our project. At the moment, I have the only one idea and I am going to ask you, the community of professionals, is it OK to work on its implementation further or not. The point is that I am a novice in Nintex Forms and that’s why I need your help to discover possible issues.The idea is to get rid of document sets by splitting the solution into two parts: a custom list that mimics document sets and a custom library that stores our files. I added lookup column to the library to link each file to “document set” in the list. After that, I created a form using Nintext Forms in the list. I used filtered List View control to display linked files. Also, the form is configured to hide linked files in New Item mode, so files are available only in Display and Update modes.(Title, Status, and Done are the columns of the S

I recently discovered the power of the "Call Web Service" feature. As a result I've tried to find a guide in this forum or on the web and could not, so I decided to just create one. My thought was to add links to how to guides for each one. I didn't spend the time to find guides or how to articles for all of them, but figured I would just post what I have in the hopes that it can help someone else.

Hi,I'm trying to write an introduction for the form but when using a Label it doesn't line break and when using a textarea (readonly) I cannot get rid of the border.Is there a control for writing a paragraph or two of text so it flows over several lines?Many thanks.

Hi All, I have 3 different lists, there is one field / column which could be common in all 3 lists. (But Column name is different, only the values match). Now I need to pull certain data from these 3 lists and keeping this field  as common reference, I need to create a report that all the items with common  value (of this matching column) along with all other columns filled with matching values must be sent out as a report in email. I am relatively new user, can someone help ? 

I am able to do a 2 tier.  But when trying to create a 3 tier, I am having trouble.I have one list called Risk CategoriesThere are 3 columnsRisk Category 1Risk Category 2Risk Category 3The End User will choose a selection in Risk Category 1 first then from the item they choose it will drill down to more items to choose from in Risk Category 2 and even more in Risk Category 3.

 Symptoms I am trying to check in my forms and views and I get the error "One or more items used are not checked in"The issue is I cannot check in Forms A, due to Form B being checked out.However, I cannot check in Form B, due to From A being checked out. Diagnoses Two-way dependency on two forms. Resolution We where able to resolve it by using the [Form].[aCheckInContexts] stored proc and specifying both forms in the parameter table 'ContextData'.In the instructions below, I used two INSERT statement (one for each form) before running the EXEC.How to use the stored proc:- Please take a full backup prior to doing this.- I'm using an example user and ID below.

Hello,I created a workflow that copies the current Item - ItemA to another list ItemB.  It works.  The problem I have is, the current item has a workflow that sends an email and when the workflow runs, I get two emails, the first from ItemA workflow and the second from the ItemB.  When I check Item B, it has no workflow but the fact that it is copied, it runs the ItemA workflow.  Is there a way to prevent the copy from running the workflow?  Thanks.It is SharePoint 2013.

Dear Community, I have a form where I use the list view control. The filter for this control is based on another text box.When I enter the value manually AND PRESS ENTER, then the filter works.But I'm adding the value by a Javascript and then it doesn't fire the filter. The script looks like this and is called in the formula of a calculated value. It does add the value to the text box as expected.function UpdateTextBox(myValue){   NWF$('#'+SpecNrFilterTextBox).val(myValue);return;}When I add another line like NWF$('#'+SpecNrFilterTextBox).trigger("change");it ends up in an endless refresh loop. Also .trigger("blur") does not work for me.Any help would be highly appreciated.Thanks and best regards,Rubi

I have a repeating section on my formWhen i click on the 'Add new row' action the above data should be copied over to the new row as shown below.Does nintex forms 2013 provide this option?

I have a need to set a Request Approval (or I can use Assign Flexi Task) if no response is received from the Approver(s) within a certain amount to time to set the request to rejected. The setting to a rejected status once the timer runs out is the issue. Any ideas on this one? We are running SP 2013 and Nintex 2013.

Hi All,I have an Access DB and an Excel file on the same SharePoint site. I would like to automatically take a subset of data from the Access DB and insert it into the Excel file and then copy this Excel file to a different SharePoint site where the users opening the Excel file will not have access to the Access DB. Is this possible with Nintex Workflows? I will be using SharePoint 2016.Thanks,R

Hey everyone, has anyone else come across this issue where email addresses that also have alias's error out for workflow notifications?

Cannot get the full name or e-mail address of user "c:0+.w|s-1-5-21-140328221-716536946-747242864-82786"Please advise, is this an AD problem or a Nintex problem?ThanksKassie

I want to read the value from the column type Summary Links in SharePoint. I tried REST API but Summary links is not supported. Also the Query List returns the value but not in HTML format.

We are currently running Nintex Forms 2016 on the most current release and have notice that when we try to add validation to controls on the form through rules non of them work.  Is something broken with validation rules? Formatting with the same rules below works just not validation.Have done multiple of these:Textbox Contrl: isNullorEmpty({Self}) , {Self} == ""Yes/No Control: isNullorEmpty({Self}) , {Self} == "", {Self} == "true", {Self} == "false", equals({Self}, "true"), equals({Self}, "false")Choice Control: isNullorEmpty({Self}) , {Self} == "", {Self} == "<One of our Options>", equals({Self}, "<one of our options>") Would love to have some insight into this as we have many things we want to do validation to with out having to do it through JavaScript.

I have set up the "copy to sharepoint" action to copy attachments to a different library. It works well, but some of the attachments have the same name as ones copied before. The options only let me overwrite the item, but I would like the item to  be added as a new item. .Even adding the item manually it overwrites it.Any  ideas?

I would like to use notifications for users with multiple languages. For this i will store the text for the notification in a workflow variable. But to decide, which language variable i want to insert into the notification, i need the information about which language a person prefers. The only thing, i have found so far is a LDAP Query. But i don't know how to use it, to retrieve the language or country or countrycode from a LDAP.
