Hi all,I have 2 lists: one is library list (Library) to archive documents, and another one (Document Search) is a list to find documents that are archived in Library. I use Query list and create few filters. The problems is that if I have 3 filters created to query data from Library list, but when I search document, I only enter values into 2 of 3 those filters, the workflow will do not work. How can I fix it? Thanks a lot

Hello! This might not be the right community to pose this question but it's the only SP community that I am aware of so I'm hoping someone can help or point me in the right direction. We set up new hires with out of box alerts for several lists and libraries. Our dept admin would like to run a report to see who gets what alerts to help her keep on top of them. I know that you can look under each name (but I wish it were alphabetical) under site setting and user alerts but that's not as efficient as running a report. I found something called manage data alerts that has the alert name. I'm not sure if that will generate a report or not but it isn't populated with anything. I am working in SP 2013. Does anyone know how to run a report of the people who are getting out of the box alerts?

I'm struggling with the idea of installing the Nintex Workflow 2013 international on a heavily customized production environment.Has anyone ever added language resources to Nintex without installing the international version?Thanks in advance.

I have one workflow, more than 100 process are running well, but only once, above actions has been executed, it didn't change the field value, and the workflow no error.Any suggestions?  Thank you.

Hi Everyone,I'm having trouble finding out what's wrong with my workflow or it is an error in Nintex O365 scheduler. Please refer to the image below for the errorMy workflow is running fine when manually run but when I scheduled it. It is always being terminated and the error description is "Cannot complete this action. please try again"Hope anyone can help me on thisThank you!

Hello,Does anyone know if it is possible to check to see if a variable is currently assigned a null within a workflow?  Within Configure Action you can check to see if a variable is empty.  I suspect "is empty" is not the same as if a "null" has been assigned to a variable.  Is there another way within Nintex to determine if a variable isnull?

Hello,I have 2 memo fields ([Description of Change] and [Strategy Change Requirements]) on my form.  One shows a horizontal scroll bar, and one does not.  I can't figure out how to remove the scroll bar from the top one in the screen shot below. Any ideas?   

Hi all,Thanks for the posts on the Tabs functionality. I'm implementing this functionality in my recent project for one of my client. My question is that I would like to open the first tab always. I have tried using the JS, it only changes the order in the tab but not the panel. Can someone please provide a solution for this.I'm using Nintex Forms 2013 and SharePoint On-Prem 2013.

Hi, I would like to target specific users/groups as having permission to manually start site workflows. At the moment, the only option I can find is "Require manage web rights" - is there anything more granular than this? Ideally, I would like to keep the "Require manage web rights" unchecked and still filter who can see/initiate the workflow from "All Site Content". Regards Boris.

I have a site workflow which users can want to start on an adhoc basis, where the user is not necessarily a site administrator.At present, to run the workflow a user takes actions cog, site contents, site workflows, click on the workflow name, and start it, which is pretty horrible as far as user interface design goes!I would like to be able to place a button on the home page which, when pressed, runs the workflow.is this possible?We have Nintex workflow 2013 version 3.1.17.10 running on a SharePoint 2013 Enterprise server

I have a requirement to dynamically create the title for my list by concatenating the current date (formattedyyMMdd) with 2 form field values (one single line of text, and the other choice), with dashes between them (example 171020-Triple A Transport-Transportation).  I can do this is in the workflow, and then set the title field with an update item control, but there is also a requirement to not allow duplicate items, so I need to validate uniqueness on form submission.  I have created variables for each of my 3 values, and attempted to concatenate them in a calculated value control, connected to the title.  The formula fails (#Value!) as soon as I populate one of the 2 fields with a value.   I think it might be because I am using a date value, (although I have created all of my variables with string type), and it is seeing the dashes as math operators.  But there is no ToText function to convert it from date to text.  I also tried putting my dashes in double quotes, and that broke th

I need help with trying to include information from a drop down/list to an email header. I have a cascading drop down where the first drop down asks about what product (5 options) is being used and based upon that answer, the next drop down will have a list of options, where each list of options are unique to the product that was selected. I need to take the information from the second drop down to add to an email header from the workflow. However, I only need the first two bytes of data from that string of information. I have used the substring function before and so that part is easy. What I am having trouble with is the workflow in which I am using Set a Condition and Update Item. The problem is that it keeps defaulting to the name of the workflow. The list item VR01 (from Update Item attachment) is what I use to populate into my email header (and is where I do the substring function for the two bytes, in my example would be to read the 01,02,03, etc. from the list lookup). I have p

I have been working with cascading drop downs with my Nintex form. Still new to the overall Nintex process, so learning along the way. I have researched through the group’s portal, specifically connecting with about 8-9 posts but can’t find exactly what I need help with. They each provide a piece to the solution but need help to get past the finish line. Simplistically I have the cascading drop downs as this: first drop down has a list of Auto makers: Chevrolet, Ford, Dodge, Toyota and the second drop down are Auto Models based on the selection of the first drop down. So if one selects Toyota, the selections would be: Tundra, Sequoia, Prius, Camry, Celica and so forth. The cascading drop downs connect to lookups, the first drop down has the list of auto makers and the other list has the models and auto makers. What I need help with is this....I need to populate the answer to both drop downs into an email that I have generated from a workflow. Currently I can populate the answer to the

I have a SharePoint 2013 On-Prem Server, with Nintex WF Standard Edition. I have a list where Nintex workflow is used for an approval process.When an item is added the workflow starts and assigns a task to a person. Meanwhile, I want to stop users from editing the current item on which the workflow is running.I have around 75 workflows, on which these activities have to be implemented. I tried using WF Actions like,1. Set Item Permission2. Set Permission (inside Assign a task process )Instead of editing all the workflows and implementing this change, is there any global fix which can be done in Central Administration or anywhere, which reflects in all the WF's?If not, what can be done with less effort?‌ ‌ ‌‌‌‌

Hi All,I have a situation here ! We have four approval levels on our Workflow, however, business wants all the approvers need to edit the form before approving and routing it to next level. Initially, I used 'Request Approval' action at each level, but I found hard in editing form fields (They want to edit complete form !).As an alternative, I used 'Send notification' action and in the email body, provided the link to 'EditForm.aspx'. In the back-end, I managed their button actions with flags and routed the process to appropriate level. Everything was working smooth !!Now the issue is, one of the approver is on Vacation, he used below way to delegate his tasks / notifications :But the delegated user is not receiving any of his emails or notifications in his absence. Is this because of using 'Send Notification' instead of 'Request Approval' action ? Is there any way, to make this delegation work ?Please let me know !

Hi,I have a Workflow Task View which a user sees when they approve/reject from a flexi task email.   It shows two sets of OK/Cancel buttons.  One after the Comment box, and then another set after the Items.  What is this second set of buttons for?  Is there a way to remove the second set of buttons (highlighted in yellow below)?

I am working with Nintex workflow 2013. I want to create a workflow which will create a folder inside a folder (this already exists) . So the flow is triggered when ever a new list item is created. It seems by using "create item"  action I can create a folder in a library as it only shows libraries and lists in the drop down. How can I select a folder ?

Hello! I've been working on validation rules for a new nintex form. Every so often I publish what I've done. Today I made a few adjustments and then I received an error message that seemed to want me to publish what I had already done before I could move forward. I published the form but it didn't work. I removed everything I did today and published it and it still didn't work. I closed out IE, and cleared my cache but I am still getting the error message. See attached. Can anyone help?

Hello all,   I'm creating a quick worklist to replace the OOB version so it's theme'd and looks a little nicer.  Something I want to add however is data that's been entered in a form.  An example would be capturing a due date for a request.  I'd love to be able to have that information displayed in the worklist so it's easier for the end user to see what they need to complete at a glance. Below is how it looks currently.  Having the due date after the activity start date would be perfect.  Any help would be greatly appreciated. 

I know that "Print to PDF" is only available for Nintex Forms Enterprise (which is a mistake IMHO, but doesn't appear to be going to change anytime soon). I have used the JavaScript "window.print()" command, attached to a "Print" button on the form. This works ok in some cases, but it results in very basic printed output that doesn't look much like the original form.Is there any method or tool available that would allow us to print a Nintex form formatted in such a way as to look more or less like the onscreen form? This is something that we used to be able to do with our old InfoPath custom forms, so it would be nice to be able to do it from Nintex as well.Thank you!

I am using a SharePoint list as the source for a lookup column in another list.Is there any way to have any changes in this source list to only be reflected in new records that use the lookup column and leave the existing records unchanged? My testing has shown the following:1) Any changes to the source of the lookup list are reflected in all the existing records.2) Any deletions from the source of the lookup list appear as blanks in any existing records.3) Restoring a deletion from the source of the lookup list replaces the blanks with the correct information.4)Additions to the source of the lookup list have no effect on existing records in the list. Item 1 I can live with but I'd prefer that it didn't affect existing records.Item 2 is definitely problematic. For example let's say that the source list contains a list of Sites and we have closed down our Brisbane site. Ideally we should be able to delete Brisbane from the source list so that no one can select a non-existent site but we

Made a site workflow that repeats every hour. Sometimes the process is not executed with an error:"Failed to start workflow. Could not load file or assembly 'Nintex.Workflow.Resources.resources, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=ru-RU, PublicKeyToken=913f6bae0ca5ae12' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified."I deleted and installed the process again. I added an action Pause but the problem was not solved. Оn another tenant the same process works without errors. Do you know the solution to this problem?

My Flexi Task action is erroring out on the reminder date and I have not been able to figure out why. There are three reminders, three days apart. Workflow errors out on first reminder date.The error message is "Error in task. Outcome information is not available."The two Outcome options are "Approve" and "Reject." These are the only options. I have branches for "Approve," "Reject," and "Other."Under Action -> Advanced Options, I have "include an 'Other' branch..." checked.There is no Escalation (I first thought it was escalation causing the issue, so I removed it.)Any thoughts on what could use this issue?
