I get the following Coercion Failed Error when trying to convert a Workflow Person Variable to "Display Names, Semicolon Delimited":Interestingly enough, this DOESN'T happen if I am in a List Workflow and use the Person Field directly from the List.I have an idea of how to get this to work, but it ain't pretty:Copy PersonField to TextSplit the Text Field into many fields and store in a collection variableDo a count on the CollectionIterate through the collection use a Single Line Text Variable to store the current itemSet a Person Field Variable to the Single Line of TextUse the Person Field to store Emails or Display Names

I am actually surprised I could not find any previous posts regarding this subject, so here I go  We often use Nintex to create site collections in collaboration environments and often customers try minimizing custom development. For this reason the current "save site as template" functionality is actually very useful. When new site collections are creating through the UI it is also possible to import the created template to start your site collection from. In Nintex it would therefore also be awesome if there would be any way to refer to non-default templates to start the site collection from. Is anyone aware of such a solution? Possibilities I am thinking of are- Creating the template in code and import it as a farm solution (but I actually want to avoid this)- Triggering a powershell script for the creation of the site collection that refers to a certain library where the solution is stored- Nothing easier? Anyone experience with this? Thanks,Glenda

All,I've a workflow attached to a newsfeed list.Every hour a site workflow is scheduled to run every hour and it sends out the latest newsfeeds to a distribution list.The schedule minimum is every hour. Normally this works fineexcept today.A new item was added at 09:20 and the schedule ran at 10:00. This was 'too late' for some people.The repeat settings minimum seems to be 1 Hours. I did try 0.5 Hours and it didn't seem to like it.How could I get the workflow to run every 30 minutes or even better when a post is added to the newsfeed list?ThanksAndrew

Hi,I'm using Document generator in the workflow. There is a SharePoint List item that is multiple select. In the template i'm tagging this list item. When the document is generated, i get the following instead of the selected items.On document:This is how it looks on the Nintex display form. See we have few options selected. What should i differently to get this reflected on my document. Let me know if you need more information. With Best Regards,Venkatesh Chandran

I have looked everywhere for this, so hoping someone has a simple answer.At run-time, is there a way to inject the text value to a calculated field (Field C) from either Field A or Field B which could be drop-down boxes containing the same values for example?But also if Field C already has a text string entered, it needs to be replaced with the text from Field A or Field B all at run-time.I have tried FieldA + FieldB  also tried FieldA || Field B, but these don't work.Thanks.

Accordion Like Functionality  doesn't work in Display mode? I tried changing the Control Mode for the check boxes to Display or Edit mode, but it still didn't work and the edit function also got screwed. I put it back to Auto and Edit is fine now but the display still shows blank. Any tips for this fix?

I have a project list, and each project has its status. Depending on the status, I want to make different color for this project. Before posting this matter here, I google too much, however, it seems to be complicated and not clear. Could you guys show me how to do step by step. I am using sharepoint nintex workflow 2013.Any comment is highly appreciated.

Hi Community,I have designed multiple forms for the organization I work for and now we need to create a dashboard like system where end users will be able to see all the Forms they have submitted to see the progress of them as well as if they need to do edit or changes to that Form they can submit the updated data after it has been rejected due to not the correct data.We want them to be able to use the Form Web Part to do this but everything i have seen is you have to connect the Form Web Part to a List View to be able to dynamically have it populate a Form in edit mode.  I'm wondering if there is a way to be able to use the Form Web part and have it dynamically know what List and Item ID from (a) one giant list that is combined list of all the Forms (b) settings to allow for dynamic pulling of the Forms (c) some way through Lazy Approval or the Workflow itself to let a user update data they need to or (d) be able to feed the list and item id from a link out of an email that takes them

My goal is to essentially create a VLookup function. The best I can find is to create a new list for each column and link each one back to the first. In the example below, when someone enters the state, it will autopopulate the store, top and least sold item. So I have to create 4 lists. State, then State linked to Store etc. The issue is there are hundreds of stores, so having to link each store to a state and then link each items sold to each store will take forever. 1st question. Is this the best way to accomplish what I am trying to do? If so, is there a way to just upload all the stores instead of linking each one?

Hello, I just signed up for an Adobe Sign trial account to test out the functionality in Nintex. After setting up the Adobe Sign connector in Nintex Workflow Cloud, creating the Adobe Sign library template, and adding the "Get signature" action to my workflow, the custom library template that I created is not showing up. The only options that I am presented are default I-9 and W4 forms. Does anyone have experience with the Adobe Sign action? Thanks for the help!

I am working in an image library and am having difficulties with the image preview. Most of the files display correctly but large files do not (I only see the top left of the image).  The files need to be kept the sizes they are.  The properties only seem to allow me to modify via a % which distorts the image.  Does anyone know how I can lock the aspect ratio of the image and perhaps limit the frame size it shows in (as I don't want the form to explode in size). I have also tried responsive forms with no luck.Any advice would be appreciated.Raquel

Hello all, I am converting yet another SPD workflow to Nintex. I have a sharepoint list with one record in it, this record has 2 columns that allow multi line and allows multiple people, the two columns are ApproverName and approverEmail. When a new approver is added to ApproverName a workflow sets the ApproverEmail to semicolon delimeted email addresses. Basically the workflow gets the email address based on the display name, then the email addresses are stored in a form approval section.My question is in Nintex would it be better to have a record for each approver or will it work fine the way it is, all the approvers in one record seperated by a semicolon? bottom line is I need to send the group of approvers and email when a new item is created(submitted). Thanks for any help.

Can you do this?  I want to run a workflow once per item (whenever it happens to be triggered) and then not again.  I have a few of these, with actions that I only would want to run once per item, and not necessarily on item creation, either.

I would like to redirect the user to a different URL if they click on the cancel button.  I used in the below blog examples, Redirect URL when user clicks Cancel ButtonI created Button and the action is java script and entered in the below code on the client click areaFinally it is working for me using in the below code:window.location.href='http://www.Nintex.com';

HiHow do i get the text part of a repeating section lookup field out of xml? I can't connect to an ID in the repeating section. Is there an XPath to access the text captured in the lookup field?

Hello,I have several workflows where I want users to input data and complete their task so I used the "Request Review" option (i do not want to give them the ability to reject or to provide a different outcome). I then created a parallel method to send task reminders. However, this is causing my workflow to randomly fail. See below screenshots.What is causing this?? How can I resolve?Do i have too many task reminders set up? The workflow "completed" the task reminder, went to my set variable, and "cancelled" my task.

I have validation rules for the date fields on my Nintex form. For example, I have one rule that requires the user to enter a future date. Later on down the road, an administrative user goes in and edits this list item, and the date validation rules do not need to be run (for example, the admin user may be adding notes or updating the item status). The dates the user initially entered will likely be in the past by the time the admin user wants to edit this list item. The admin user can always just go into the list view and edit the list item there, but I'd like to allow them to edit via the Nintex form as well. To do that, the date validation rules need to be skipped.How can I suppress a validation rule (such as one that looks like this: greaterThanOrEqual({Common:CurrentDate}, {Self})) when the user is in the admin SharePoint group I have set up for this for this site?

I have a Flexi-Task set to notify an approver of a pending task.  However, I have been asked to set up this Flexi-Task so that reminders are sent every 3 hours only AFTER 24 hours has passed since the task notification had been sent.  I was thinking of trying a parallel action with a loop that checks every 5 minutes to see if the status of the Flex-Task has changed but I'm wondering if this is the best approach.  Does anyone have any suggestions?  Please let me know.  Thank you!

Greetings,I am using Nintex On-Prem for SharePoint 2010. I am currently working on an  multiple approver Lazy Approval workflow. My goal is to extract the approver name and approver comments. I can capture the comments however when I do I get the text of the email stored in the variable as well. I need some assistance in creating a regular expression to strip out everything after the approval comments. I'm and admin and normally this would go to our developer who is out.

Hi,I have been working on a form and need to store data from a Nintex #Workflow #Cloud form in a SharePoint Online list.  When I try to follow the instructions for accessing the list, I am able to connect to my tenant.  However, I am not able to get a list of the sub-sites or lists.Do I need to do something else?
