I have a Nintex Form with a few validation rules associated to controls (i.e., if this field is not blank then that field is required, etc.) When I publish it one of two things happens - either the rules will run as expected and the fields will highlight in a red box but then suddenly the form will close or the rules don't run at all and the form closes. I have searched the Nintex site for clues but have come up empty.

I have two lists, ListA and ListB.In ListA I created a form with Nintex Forms. I want to add a dynamic Dropdown in the form, the Content of the Dropdown should be created while ListA gets filled. So if the user selects a specific value in ListA it should give me all Elements from ListB that have this specific value.This works with the lookup-function, but only for one value. If I have several Elements in ListB that have the specific value it only Shows the first value.Any Suggestion?

Hi GangWe are using SharePoint and Nintex versions 2013.  I have a workflow that allows a document to be reviewed and approved by a number of employees.  When the document is fully approved I would like to save the workflow (approval) history somehow to the document properties.  I have no way to change the setting that removes the regular workflow history after 60 days.  So I'm stuck with trying to save it off for audit purposes.  For us we need to have this info for a number of years.  Can someone help me figure out how to save the workflow history so that we'll always have it for audit purposes for a document.Best Regards,Andy

I'm parsing a Repeating Section with a For Each. Sometimes, a field in the For Each doesn't have data. Sometimes it does. I can't figure out how to capture it correctly. So you can see the XML from the Repeater Section below. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><RepeaterData><Version /><Items><Item><dtlCurrentRowNumber type="System.String">1</dtlCurrentRowNumber><txtchoiceGetMethodAdded type="System.String"></txtchoiceGetMethodAdded><txtchoiceRegionAdded type="System.String">REGION</txtchoiceRegionAdded><txtchoiceLTCAdded type="System.String">**SelectValue**</txtchoiceLTCAdded><txtchoiceCentersbyRegionAdded type="System.String">CENTER001;CENTER002</txtchoiceCentersbyRegionAdded><txtchoiceCentersbyLTCAdded type="System.String"></txtchoiceCentersbyLTCAdded><dtlAddedText type="System.String">111</dtlAddedText></Item><Item><dtlCurrentRowNumber type="System.Stri

I am new to Nintex so I apologize if I do not get in all the details in my first question.  So here is my scenario:I have two lists, list A and list B.  I need to see if it is possible to copy items from list A to list B based on the "Created" date field using a Nintex workflow.  I would like to have the workflow go through all the items in the list and determine (based on Created date field) which items to copy over.  Not sure of which action, "For Each" or Loop", or how to use them for that matter.  Sorry I am a newbie.  Any help is very much appreciated.

I'm a newbie in Nintex workflow Enterprise (for SharePoint server) and here in this Forum.I suppose this questions are already answered many times here, but i can't find the answers of the following questions:How can i get the manager  of my manager in a workflow?How can i find to which SharePoint- or AD-Group the manager  of my Manager belongs to?Many thanks for your answers!

This formula is working in a SharePoint calculated column but now I am needing to build a repeating section and I cannot get this same formula to work on a Nintex form within a calculated value field.  Note: The calculated value field/control is within a repeating section.  =IF([Pay Code]="700-Overtime",(([Hourly Rate]/2+[Hourly Rate])*[Hours Worked/Paid]),IF([Decimal Hours]>40,([Hourly Rate]*40)+([Decimal Hours]-40)*([Hourly Rate]/2+[Hourly Rate]),IF([Pay Code]="195-10% Differential",([Hourly Rate]*0.1)*[Decimal Hours],IF([Pay Code]="606-Night Differential",([Decimal Hours]*0.5),IF([Pay Code]="038-Freezer Pay",[Hours Worked/Paid]*1,[Decimal Hours]*[Hourly Rate])))))

Trying to build an IF function with NW 2013, but instead of receiving the value from the IF formula, I keep receiving the function as the result (i.e. fn-IF(......)). I read a similar post (No IF Function in NW 2010) and feels like a similar issue with what I am currently experiencing. My IF statement is simply stating that if the input value on my Nintex form is blank, the answer is No, and if not blank, Yes.I am trying to add this value in the subject line of an email workflow, but currently I don't have the IF statement availability from the Inline Functions. And so the result I keep receiving in my subject line is the full function statement and not the value from the form.Any thoughts? Still new to Nintex so on the upside of the learning process.

Hi Community,I have 2 lists: Sales list and Customer list. In the interface of each item in Sales list, I added Customer list as a Web part.I want to get connection from Customer list to Sales list with 2 parameter : Expertise in -> Expertise in, and Province-> Province. I did "Get parameter from" under Connection, but it didn't work. Could you have a look and support me to do that.Thanks so much

Hi Everyone,I'm having trouble making this work. In our On-Prem version Null display text is working just fine. But when we migrated to Office 365 it seems that the Null display text is not working. If this is a bug in the O365 version then how can I put a default value on the fields as a substitute to the null display text?Thank you in advance!

Hi, I have a list workflow that is set to start as soon as a element gets added or modified. This works so far.However, when a file is moved (not copied) in the document library via explorer view, the Workflow won't start.How do I trigger a workflow when a file is moved in the explorer view?We ware using SharePoint 2013 and Nintex Workflow 2013.

In a simple workflow (Nintex Workflow for SharePoint 2013) for managing the progress of a dossier (documentset with documents) there are workflows running on the documentset, but also on the individual documents. The proces status (status) and person responsible for the current action (responsible) are properties of the documentset. The workflow updates the person field Responsible of the Dossier. This is a action the sometimes fails.Action: Update item in list where id matches txtVar, field responsible to txtEmptyWhere- txtVar is an id, eg "1"- txtEmpty is an empty txt variableOn the commit action after this update the workflow sometimes fails with the message 'an error has occurred on workflow 'XXX' '.Do you have any suggestions / best practices on how to solve this?

This might sound silly... and I might be just tired that I can't figure it out.. But I simply want to display a link on my form to direct to the workflow tasks page? How do I do that? I understand that this should be coming from the workflow, so I need to set a SLT field on my list and assign that a value through the workflow then place that field on the form, but how do I get that URL dynamically?

Hi All,I have a nintex form that captures some data from a requestor. Once submitted a workflow gets initiated based on that data.Based on what I am seeing, after I submit the form, the page spins for up to 30 secs. When I monitor things in the background, it looks like the form does not redirect users to a confirmation page until a whole heap of workflow actions have completed successfully.Why does it do this? Is the Form not decoupled from the workflow? I don't understand this behaviour. Seems to me the form should submit and tell the user it has been submitted before any subsequent workflow actions even begin?thanks

Hi, I have the same issue, any time I add an Initiation form, for instance having 3 simple people picker fields to get user to be used by workflow and update current item properties with the same, the workflow takes approximately 30 sec to complete the starting phase.I have tried Dave suggestion (pause for 5 min at the very beginning of workflow) but the result is exactly the same, more 30 sec waiting system feedback.I have noticed that the delay to obtain the landing page is significantly minor in case the form is a task form inside the workflow.I think that there is something not properly working in the communication between Nintex Form and Workflow DB in case of an initiation form only, maybe this occurs only in some cases ....or for some misconfiguration of Form or Workflow DB.I have also another doubt: is it possible that this dealy is due to the fact that my 3 people picker fields are updating the current item where the workflow is running? This maybe could be the root cause

 Symptoms Getting errors in K2 Studio that will not let user to format datetime (FormatDateTime) saying the field needs to be datetime, but they are date time fields in sharepoint (as list column of type date/time).Error message "The value given to parameter DateTime should be of type DateTime". Diagnoses N/A Resolution This has been logged as a bug and will be addressed in a future release.The suggest workarounds are as follow:-1- Transfer the date field to a K2datafield (Date) and use the K2datfield in the process.-2- Another workaround is to use the Convert To ? Date/Time expression to first convert the input parameter instead of just dragging it into the expression ( Navigate to context browser and select Function Browser andgt Conversion andgt To DateTime ) 

I have a state machine workflow with flexi tasks in each branch. When running the workflow, sometimes the task was created but email notification was not received by the user who was assigned the task. This happened randomly, if I didn't get the email notification the first time, I may get it if I ran the workflow again. It is not the permission issue. Just wondering if there is a way to trace the email in Nintex log or the database, to see if the email was sent to the email server within SharePoint.Appreciate any idea and suggestions.Alex

In the Nintex form I am building, I have a drop down list where the end user will make a selection from 11 possible options. The selected option is then included in the subject line of an email that is sent to another group. However, I need to convert the alpha info into a numeric value. In order to make my example simplistic, let’s say the drop down has 11 colors to choose from. The first selection in the list is Blue and it would have a numeric value of 1; next would be Red and it would equal 2…and so forth until the last color having a numeric value of 11. Instead of listing “Blue” in my email subject line, I need it to show as the numeric value of 1. Thanks in advance.

Hello,So I am trying to incorporate the GSA website into my workflow so that I can access the Per Diem Rates from the website for a travel request form.  When I created my Call Web Service and entered the URL, I was told that there is no web service for the site gsa.gov.  I was wondering if there is a way to pull the info from the site based on a variable of location given from the Nintex Form that would allow me to obtain the per diem rates for that location.  I am not sure how to do this since it is not a web service.  The URL that I am using is this one.  It does not need any passwords or usernames, just the location.  Thank you

What Javascript is executed when I click on a "Save and Submit" button in a Site Workflow Form?I would like to add an altering URL to redirect to, therefore I thought to add a button with a custom Javascript...Thanks in advance!

Hi, I need a workflow that can take run multiple times on a same item and updates field in current item based on the instantaneous input by user. Referring both these list by 'ID' works only when workflow runs only once on an item. if the same item gets updated another time which initiates workflow again, then referring the this item in 'workflow task list' doesnt work with field 'ID'. I tried using 'Workflow instance ID' but it throws error. Also I tried association task list, which is a replica of 'workflow task list' ...still nothing. What is the correct way of referring workflow item in 'task list' to the current item on which the workflow runs??

This is an identity cache refresh solution. The features here includes: Listing the identity cache records Search of the identity cache records Expire and/or refresh the identity cache record Update cache configuration settings    

 Let's suppose you add a user to a group and that that group has a specific set of rights to a given process. You might notice that that user has not yet received the same set of rights and as such the user cannot do the things you'd expect a member of that group to be able to do. The reason for this is K2's identity cache. This cache is something of a reflection of the Active Directory underlying K2's users and groups and as a consequence of that reflection it does not get updated in real time but rather on an 8 hour timer. The implication here is that in our scenario the user will act as a functioning member of that group only after such time as the Identity Cache has refreshed (not longer than 8 hours). If perchance you require a more immediate refresh there is a tool called the Force Identity Refresher (obtained through K2 support) that can be used to expire a user within the cache. We can then execute the Get User Details method of the UMUser smartobject to force a refresh of our
