We are having an issue with users attaching files to our Nintex form that is over the Outlook server limit, therefore the workflow errors out on the Send Notification WF action. We cannot just limit the attachment file size on the form, but would rather query the list item attachment file sizes, store the total file size in a variable and make a new branch of the workflow based on this value. As you can see in the related post below, the user is trying to query the file size of a document on the document library, but this would need to query the file size for the list item attachments. Any suggestions or thoughts on this would be appreciated.  Thanks - Ryan Related Post:Query size of attachments before sending via email notificationhttps://community.nintex.com/message/43187?commentID=43187#comment-43187 #workflow #email #sendnotification #filesize #attachments

I have a workflow that is sending an email to a specific department depending on the request option.  There are two notifications, one of them works using the department's email and the other one fails.  Any ideas on why that is?ThanksKim

Hi,I have a case where I need to divide two numbers and round up to nearest integer and store the result in a calculated field. This is commonly known as a "ceiling" function.ExampleDivisionRoundFloorCeiling100 / 101010101018 / 101.821212 / 101.21123 / 100.3001I can only seem to find a "round" function. Neither the "Floor" og the "Ceiling" is available as far as I can see.Any ideas on how to overcome this?RegardsLeif

I am trying to figure out a way to build a workflow that will send a quarterly flexi-task email that asks users to either Continue or Stop a litigation hold.  I have the list built in Sharepoint, and it contains the name of the Attorney of the case, the name of the case for which the litigation hold has been put in place, and a status column which notes whether the Litigation Hold should be continued or stopped.The way I have the workflow built so far is with a "Run If" that only runs if the status of the litigation hold is either "Pending Attorney Confirmation" or "Continue Litigation Hold."  If the status is "Stop Litigation Hold," the WF will not run.  When it runs, it sends a flexi-task to the user asking them to continue or stop the litigation hold, and then it updates the "Hold status" column to either "Continue Litigation Hold" or "Stop Litigation Hold" depending on the user's response.What I want is for it to re-send that check-in email/flexi-task after three months so long as

I set up a nintex workflow to trigger off a calculated field of 30 days prior to an expiration date that was entered by a user.  The calculated field formula was =text(ExpiredDate - 30,"mm/dd/yyyy").  I used a "Pause until" action.  The workflow doesn't pause until that date.  It triggers off like 5 mins after I start the workflow, even though that date that it should trigger off should be tomorrow for testing. When I look at the workflow, it shows that it will trigger off on "Pausing until 1/1/0001 12:00:00 AM".  Any thoughts on what I am doing wrong.

Hi there, I am new and testing userprofilelookup function on Form. I was able to lookup unique phone number I entered on AD user object, but cannot lookup email for some reasons. I tried E-mail, Email, WorkEmail, etc., but cannot get the value returned.From Central Admin, I also checked Managed User Properties that was left with default configuration. I manually added property mapping with AD's 'E-mail', but given that this attribute is one of the mostly frequently used property, I didn't think this needed. Even after adding the property mapping, Email still didn't get populated.Any corrections or missing configuration advise is greatly appreciated.Thank you,-Naoko

Hello, I have workflow that requires the calculation of business days from the time the form is submitted to an estimated delivery/completion date. Currently I am using Dox42's UDA. The issue is, this workflow will calculate out 10 days ahead but will not go any further. I need the tool to calculate up to 30 business days out. I have attempted to use the current UDA from Dox but cannot get it to calculate the 30 day requirement. Does anyone have any thoughts on this or have some other UDA that would work?dox42 Workflow Utils Thank you, Cody Allison

The 2013 installation guide states that "Nintex Workflow follows the same scalability and limitations as SharePoint workflows; both Nintex and SharePoint use the workflow engine inside SharePoint" Does this mean that the Windows Workflow Manager that is used by SP 2013 style workflows is used or that the native SP 2010 style workflow style is used? Is there any way to control which servers in the SP farm are used to run the Nintex WFs?

Here is a scenario that we have in mind and I am not sure how I could achieve with Nintex Forms.Service Portal with one landing pageUser navigates through domains/sub domains (wizard style) and ends in specific formsForm input will be sent via Email to a 3rd party systemWhile I can define individual forms per Content Type, I could define Content Types per Request Type, but that way I could not have a cascade of forms opened in a sequence.Instead users would have to open request items again and again.Who nows about a good approach for a wizard style solution?

Hello,Is there any way we can get alert email from K2 when a workflow process instance fails. Is there any setting for that in K2 workspace or anywhere?Thanks for your time.Kiran Batta.

Hello,On the same form, I am trying to trying to populate the date field to show 2 days ahead of the current date for a "due date." I don't necessarily need both dates, current date and due date. I just need the due date which is 2 days after the current date but this is the only way I have found that may work. I have tried using the javascript and following the instructions from this site but for some reason it's not working for me: http://vadimtabakman.com/nintex-forms-date-calculations-with-javascript.aspx What I have tried so far is creating the Stored date column (using the date and time type with a default value of Today's Date). Adding a Date/Time field called StoredDate. Under Validation I have custom validation turned to Yes and the Custom validation function set to validateStoredDate. In the Advanced settings, the Store Client ID in JavaScript variable is set to Yes and the variable name set to varStoredDateID. I added the second Date/Time field called CalculatedDate. Under A

I have a list workflow that is set to run on the creation of a new item.  I have seen a few items created in that list recently where that workflow never ran.  It works most of the time, but occasionally, it just doesn't start at all.  In the workflow history for those items, there is no record of an instance of the workflow as running, completed, cancelled, or errored.  I am not making much progress with the troubleshooting so far.  Anyone have ideas of things I can look at to figure out what is going on?  Thanks in advance!Brian

I'm implementing an expense claim. And the users are required to attach a receipt except if they are only claiming mileage. How do I create a condition on the attachments to be required if they select yes on a "yes/no - Mileage Only" field.I tried to put a rule on the attachments to make it disabled if the user selects mileage only=yes. But how do i make it required to complete if mileage only=No?!I found earlier an article here that explains how to make fields required on a single line of text but it doesn't apply the same way on "attachments" as there is no named control for attachments. I also don't want to disable the save button, i need it to give an error message to the user to explain what is missing. Help!! 

Hello,I am new to Nintex.I have a choice column with "Allow fill in Choice" set to "Yes". I need to display two columns on the Nintex form when a user selects "Specify your own value". How to achieve this?

 Symptoms When packaging a K2 for SharePoint/Appit solution you might run into an issue like the following:  Diagnosis This issue can be related to the following scenarios:   #1. The list has been renamed and so have all the K2 artifacts. The workflow did not pick up the new forms.  #2. There is a live workflow on the workflow server that is still referencing the older forms.  Solution To resolve these issues it is actually very simple.   #1. Open the workflow and run through the start rule wizard. Re-select the correct form and finish out the wizard. It might be helpful to select a different form, then select the correct one to make sure all the references are cleared out. Re-deploy the workflow and try to package the solution again. You shouldn't see the error anymore. If you do, look at #2.   #2. To see if our issue is due to a live workflow/older workflow, we can check the name of the workflow it is complaining about in the error. If this is our older workflow name, it means it sti

Hi all, I am trying to create a list view with a button on the side of each row, when you click the button I want to open a new IE modal window. Although it looks like it's going to work; well the buttons are simply invisible on the list and nothing I can think of will get it to show; maybe unsupported? I tried this using HyperLink control which would have suficed accept for the issue that this control does not open modal or pop up windows which is a real pain. Howabout a right click contect menu on each row, as in right click edit and a modal window pops up. No I cant stick the list and detail on the same screen as the height would force the user to scroll. 

We have created a Nintex Workflow with a few flexitasks in it. In those flexitasks we've chosen to create a custom InfoPath form to let the end user choose from. They have to choose between 'Yes' and 'No' with a value behind it in InfoPath of '1' and '2'.Flexitask:InfoPath:This works well in our quality environment, but when we automatically provision the workflow and the .xsn files behind the workflow, the values of the choises behind are turned around so 'Yes' has value '2' and 'No' has value '1'.Does this sound familiar to anyone?

I have a WF where anytime a document is modified within a Document Set I trigger an email that the document was modified.  However, I can not figure out how to build the URL that will send them to the Document folder.  Not the the view that lists all the Document Sets, but the view beneath the document set that is 1 beneath the Document Set.Note this is for a Site Workflow.  Also I seem unable to retrieve the Document name.  The Name that reflects in the email reflect the name of the Document Set not the Document.

The PowerShell wizard allows you to run PowerShell commands from your K2 process. The PowerShell commands are run on the K2 server itself. PowerShell must be installed on the K2 Server and on the K2 machine designing the K2 workflow (this is because of the assemblies required). The wizard allows users to specify input variables and output variables. With the normal Run-As feature, you can run the powershell in another users' context. Installation (if you build yourself): Build the solution i

OOTB Approval workflows in Sharepoint have the option to be cancelled if the item gets modified (*during* the execution of the workflow) or rejected. I'm able to monitor for rejection (I have a "Request Approval" with "End Workflow when and if user rejects the task). But how can I get the workflow cancelled in case the item gets modified? Should I monitor the item (or columns) for any changes? If so how can I do that?

 Symptoms Is there a way to send escalation notifications only to the people which have incomplete tasks. Currently, the escalation is sent to all users who are assigned the task, even if they have completed the task. Diagnoses This can be done, but it must be done on the Event Escalation level, and not the Activity Escalation level. Resolution _1: When specifying which user will get the escalation email, select Specify instead of Destination User._2: When specifying who the email will be sent to (To:), use the context browser to navigate to the Workflow Context browser. Expand the Activity Destination Instance node and then expand the User node. Drag the Email node over to the To: box. This will only send emails to the users who have not actioned the task. 

We are trying to design a "dashboard" page for our users to view all workflow tasks assigned to them and all workflows they have initiated.We have some requirements that do not seem to be able to be handled by the current webparts available in Nintex Workflow.  Has anyone had some of these same requirements and how have they handled them?Grouping task by the workflow that created them.Filter list by any columnDisplay only Pending items by default with option to show all tasksCreate a date range filter to filter date createdIf Task is assigned to a SharePoint Group I am a member of it should show up in the task list.Add indicator if task is due today, or past due.Give Admins the ability to see all tasksAs an alternative to this I am trying to understand the web services available with Nintex and see if any of those might provide all the information and then use current grid technologies to create the dashboard using web service calls.  Any help you could provide with this route would al

Hi all,I hope this is the correct forum for asking this. We're using Nintex Workflow on SharePoint 2010.I have a director who wants to be notified every time one of her managers approves a workflow. For example, Kelly is the director and Gerald (her subordinate) is a manager. If one of Gerald's employees (Trisha) submits a form for Gerald's approval as her manager, Kelly wants to be notified. She doesn't need to approve it, she just wants to be notified.We have over 25 forms that the entire organization uses, so adding Kelly to the manager approval configuration is not an option, because she doesn't need to be notified if someone else in another department submits the form.I could manually add a conditional to each workflow that checks to see if the manger is one of hers, but that's labor intensive and would be a pain to manage when personnel change.Is there a way to create a workflow with the conditional by itself, then call that workflow from within another workflow? I tried using th
