 Symptoms We want to dynamically increase height of Text Area control as we enter text in it. Currently, we see scroll inserted as we reach height limit. We want to increase height dynamically of text area instead of scroll bar. Diagnoses K2 does not currently have the ability to do this, but it can be achieved with JavaScript. Resolution We will need to add some hidden data labels as well as expressions to the form in order to achieve this. Please see the directions below. Also this will do it for all Text Areas on the page, and should maybe be added to all When Text Area is Changed rules.1: Create a Hidden and Literal data label.2: Create an expression called Text Area Resizing the expression should be the following:<script> $.each($('textarea'), function(index, element) {$(element).css("height",$(element).prop('scrollHeight'))}) </script>However, we do not want this expression in the data label on initialize. We will transfer this expression into the data label, once the

Hello great community... I'm trying to find a super easy way for the end user to visit a form, select from the approvers list and click send in case that the approver has to be changed even after the workflow had started. It is a one approval stage workflow that it is OK to be stopped and restarted.  The  users want to be able to send the form to another user for approval in case the approver was incorrectly chosen or the the responsible department is the one to change to whom it should have been routed for approval even after the workflow starts. Delegation by the assigned person is not their best option, they always tend to forget or (don't want to) setup an out of office delegation rule. They don't want to wait or contact the person who was mistakely assigned the task to delegate it to someone else.. The manager needs to be able to choose on the original form whom it should be (or shoudl have been routed to and wants to do that at anytime without having to terminate the workflow an

I am trying to convert a word document to a pdf using the Convert to PDF action. The issue that I have run into is that the workflow shows "In Progress", the workflow only has the one action so I am not sure why it is stuck on In Progress. Below is how I have it configured.  

Hi All,I'm currently having issues with deleting the NintexWorkflowHistory List content. In the Site Settings > Manage Workflow History Lists, it shows that our NitexWorkflowHistory list has 30601 items. If I select the purge option with a filter of "Last Activity before" 01/01/2015 and a state of "Complete" and action the purge, nothing is deleted. I have also processed the same filter with both Cancelled and Error states. Still nothing is removed.As per the screenshot below there are multiple items in this list dating back to 2013 and should have been removed.I have also run the NWAdmin.exe PurgeHistoryListData and SyncTerminatedWorkflows, with relevant criteria to purge data. With the latter, I have run with the terminateDeletedItems parameter too. I do not seem to be having much joy. Any suggestions?Regards,Mark

Hello I have been searching the community but haven’t found anything to help me.I am working on a project where we have migrated a very large document Library (around 75,000 items) from another system into SharePoint. There is a requirement to set Item level permissions for each document in the library.The rules which determine the correct group/permission level to grant are held in a separate list. I have created a Nintex Workflow 2013 list workflow to set permissions on the document library items based on the rules defined in the list. This workflow performs as expected.  Then to use that workflow to set permissions for every item in the library I created a site workflow that loops through the whole document library and starts the list workflow on each item using a call web service action. This worked well in my initial tests with a small document library.When I moved my test to a large 75,000 item library I started getting timeout errors in the ULS logs with varying degrees of succe

Is there any option to put the K2 workflowon hold if it is waiting for any list item to be updated.

Hi I am trying to update a repeating table column via Nintex Workflow. I have a ‘Complaints’ list item Nintex Form with a Repeating Table for Samples that when data is entered, creates a Samples Task in separate list (which will spawn other workflows etc). This part I have done using Vadim’s excellent Parsing post.However when the Samples Task list item is created I want to update a column ‘SampleTaskCreated’ to ‘Yes’ in the Repeating table for that Sample entry. I thought this would be easy enough as I thought I could update the column with the Loop as I would have the correct numindex variable stored within the loop already.I am having a real headache in how to update this column, I have been looking at the Update XML control but I don’t know where the XML is stored, I can update the variable that holds the Formdata fine using the below syntax but I have no idea on how to update the XML on the actual list itemif I try and use the ContextItemURL this ends in an error ….. when using Up

Had a look at this post but it doesn't tell me what I need:https://community.nintex.com/message/61053-uda-permissions-management?sr=search&searchId=5c0a655c-07a8-4caf-a42d-5d64c3b50743&searchIndex=1I want to create a farm level UDA and control permissions to it to only allow users of certain AD groups to actually be able to use the UDA.  I was hoping I could manage the UDA in a similar way to the "Manage Allowed Actions" section in central admin.  ‌ calling you out as you replied on the above post.Is it possible to say who can and who cannot use a farm level UDA?

I was wondering if there was a way to implement a column in a list view to display its row/line number? Starting from 1 and auto-increments each time a new row is added.Ex:Line Number      Amount1                               2.992                               4.993                               1.99and so on...

Hi,We are trying to add HTML to the body of a notification email but it isn't displaying properly.  The HTML we are adding includes CSS and a couple of tables.  The variable being used is single line of text if that matters.  I've seen a couple of articles where they have this working but I didn't see any css in the HTML they are adding.  Has anyone else tried this? Thanks in advance,Eric

I saw the below post which comes close to what I want to achieve.  However, I want to send the entire Query List (10 columns) out as an email.I tried a Query List and Send Notification only as part of my workflow.  The Query List when I execute it retrieves all 5 of my records as expected.  However, the email only displays one item from the list.  I have spent 2 hours researching this and it appears I may need to create a Collection variable, however I am very confused on why this is required ?  Do I need to create 10 Collection variables for my 10 columns...One post suggested a For Each, but what is the purpose of a For Each when I do not want to send out an email for each list item.  I use Nintex with SharePoint 2013 Enterprise.Thanks !how do you send a single email for multiple list items?

Hi community,I have already noticed that it might not be ideal to start a new WF on item creation within workflow task list (Is there any issue in creating workflows in a task lists?), but I also have the feeling that it is not generally forbidden to do so.My use case:I have a list where user information is collected that needs to be further processed by different parties.At one point of the process this initial information has to be valued (and enriched) by 1-n departments.Therefor a lot of information has to be given (approx 30 questions). I created a content type based on a task list for this operation. Within my workflow I used a "start task process" object (as I mentioned there are 1-n receiver of this task), while the tasks should be processed in parallel. During processing of these tasks, the info already given (via special task content type) should be stored in a separate list. So there is one initial list entry within the main list and 1-n entries connected to the initial list

I am building a form with repeating section.The values in one of the columns of the repeating section is part of a calculated field. I need to find if at least one of the value in this array is greater than or equal to 10.For e.g. if array looks like this: [10,3,3] OR [1,12,4] using JScript validation or Rule validation, I need to know if there is any value greater than or equal to 10. I'm using SP2013, Nintex forms 2.10.1.0I have tried to get the value of the array in JScript variable and iterate through each value to find item greater than or equal to 10. The function {variable.length} in JScript returns the number of characters in the string as opposed to number of items in the array.---[1] returns 3 instead of 1.Let me know if that is not the case and there is an easier solution. Thanks for your help.

I need help in developing a Nintex 2013 SharePoint workflow.I have items in a list library. Each item has 1 to many attachments. I need to run a workflow that will take all of the attachments for an item and create a list item out of it. Plus carryover some of the column values from the original item.So an attached Excel document will become its own list item.Can someone start me in the right direction?Thank you.

Hello,I want to add permissions to my SP group by Nintex Workflow but when I add I have new permissions level Auto-generated Permission Level..My permissions level:Permission mask:1281825791Call Webservice method:Auto-Generate Permission Level;And when I check mask for Auto generated permission level is the same like Owner permission level...Somebody knows something about this strange issue?

I have a workflow running when completiing an InfoPath 2013 form in a SharePoint 2013 environment.When the item is waiting for Network Accountant Approval either "Accept" or "Reject" before the workflow continues - but even though the Sharepoint column contains either one (Reject or Accept) the workflow does not progress.I have tried Pausing for 5 minutes after "Awaiting Item Update" still no progression and have added "Commit Pending Changes" after each XML Update!!I was wondering if anyone has got around this - and/or can suggest the best way to do this without using "Wait for Item Update" - which seems problematic.The workflow does not fail 100% of the time but obviously it needs to work 100% of the time.I just need to stay in this loop until the field is not empty.Many thanks for any help offered.
