   We are using a Drop off Library with Content Organizer to move uploaded files to the correct library. This feature works fine when users upload one file at a time because i created a content type and made it required to enter in the metadata (Library Name) that is needed prior to submit. However, if a user drags and drops files into the Drop-Off library the files are checked out until the user does a quick edit and updates the field and then checks it in. I am trying to design a ninetwork flow to query the Drop-Off library for files without to send a reminder and if the metadata field is modified a workflow to route the document.Nintex Workflow: The query pulls the Title, File ID and Metadata data into a workflow variable site collection. In the for each loop I us the ID for the target collection and I store the results in a Single work flow variable. The next step is Run Parallel action Branch to get the Title and Metadata from the variable collections. Next I pass it on to a Switc

Hello,We recently updated to Nintex Workflow 3.1.7.10 and encountered a problem.I have a workflow that generates a letter using content controls and I am getting some crazy stuff for anything that uses a Multi-text variable as the input.Example:12345 Nowhere Ville, KY  1234512345 Nowhere  Ville, KY  12345This is basically an address.  Where I take single text fields of Street, City, State, Zip, and combine them.  The output used to be...12345 NowhereVille, Ky  12345So not only doubling up on the address, but also losing line returns that used to work.  Does anybody have any idea what is causing this issue?Another more crazy example...<div class="ExternalClassD466C08C2E92477F8C101F3DE00E2D40">12345 Nowhere Ville, Option 1  </div><div class="ExternalClassD466C08C2E92477F8C101F3DE00E2D40">12345 Nowhere  Ville, Option 1  </div>I got this from the letter generating problem as well. Though the <div class=.... is something I saw in another workflow that crashed yest

hi,I have designed a k2 blackpearl process with InfoPath integration. When I try to deploy the process I get the message "Deploy failed" but in the Error List there are no errors.

Hi All,I have a question about copying or moving files from a document library to a SharePoint list (as attachment)I have a doclib on SP site called Dropbox, people can store files there which they can use in a later stage to upload them as attachment into a SP list (called Database).Is there a way to have workflow which enables the user to copy or move the files from document library based on a column (called ProjectID) to the list Database and create a new entry in that list again based on the column ProjectID?Thanks you so much for your help!Regards

 Symptoms Unable to pass NULL value when executing UPDATE method against DateTime format column of SQL Server SMO neither from SMO Service Tester nor from the SMO Event in the workflow.When attempting to update SQL record via smartobject from workflow for the fields of the type Memo, Number etc. it is sufficient to pass SCNULL (like in Services Tester), but this doesn't work for DateTime fields.Reproduction Steps:1) Create SQL table with column of DateTime type.2) Generate smartobject for this table using SmartObjects Services Tester tool.3) Manually create some record in the SQL table you created via SQL Management Studio and set some value for DateTime column, other than NULL.3) Call smartobject event in workflow. In Input parameters for the smartobject try to assign NULL value to the DateTime field in the database. Diagnoses This is known issue which exist both in 4.6.7 and 4.6.8 versions. Resolution There is an existing feature request for this functionality which is slated to be i

I have built a Nintex vehicle request form with a simple manager approval workflow.The problem I'm having is that the Approver (manager) is only able to approve the form if I select "create and edit all items" in the SharePoint list item-level permissions settings. This means that the Approver can see ALL items in the list. If I change this setting to "create items and edit items that were created by the user", then the Approver receives an error when he tries to approve the workflow task ("sorry something went wrong, an unexpected eror has occurred").I cannot find a way around this. I tried adding a 'set item permissions' action in the workflow to assign the Approver 'approve' access on the current item, but the error still remains (even though this action does in fact change correctly update the item permissions).Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have searched extensively though these discussions and cannot find a solution. (I have also give all users contribute access to the

Hi All,Is there any alternative to Rept function or any custom solution, as its not available in nintex but is available in SharePoint.

I am creating a SharePoint 2013/Nintex form that will replace an old asp.net form. My quandary is that I need to provide a simple way to print list items (simple for the users, that is ). I keep running into the wall on this.Background - This is for our hospital volunteers who are used to requests printing out automatically (how I wish I could keep this functionality but it is no longer supported and lives on a server that will be shut down for good soon). It must be printed (ie they're not going to use tablets or some other handheld device for this) and it can't require them to use a mouse and navigate to a little print button (vision issues and difficulty using a mouse -- they are about ~75 years old).My Nintex form includes several panels -The panel where hospital staff submit their request. This includes several drop down lists, radio buttons, text boxes and other standard controlsThe panel where the volunteer dispatcher sees the new/unprinted requests. This includes a List View co

I have blank form with nothing on it the first thing I try to do is publish I am getting xml gibberish view of an error.  Buried inside it is the request errorThe server encountered an error processing the request.  The exception message is 'Invalid field name.  {GUID}.This is a blank form no development so what column are they talking about?

That's basically it. I have a user who wants a workflow to start when there are 5 or more items in a SharePoint list which will send him an email. How would I go about doing this?

HiI have a list A with 12 columns (months). and I have another list B with different fields.users will add to the list B monthly and do some calculation. the result will be updated in list A in the columns based on the month.Example. user will add data to list B in June. the workflow will update the column "June" in list A.I want to do this dynamically (not using switch) where I can update columns using variable as column name.is this possible?

I need a method to extract the individual emails and user details from an AD group, so I can create a list item for each user in the group.1. Query AD group "All Sydney Staff"2. Extract the First Name, Last Name and Email address3. Add these details to a separate list on the same SharePoint site

I'm looking for advice as to how to best implement a solution.I need to take a written timeframe and evaluate it as a number so I can validate it. I have a task review list with the following fields/types:Start Date/Date and TimeDue Date/Date and TimeEnd Date/Date and TimeReview Frequency/LookupReminder Frequency/LookupThis combination of Start Date/Due Date/Review Frequency/Reminder Frequency allows the users a great deal of flexibility in creating tasks. You can create a task that starts quarterly, is due within 30 days, and sends reminders each week. Or create a task that starts each week, is due within 3 days, and sends reminders every day. Very nice.I have a calculation that determines the number of days between the Start Date and the Due Date (Total Days). The Review and Reminder frequencies are lookup columns to a list that has values assigned to each choice (once = 1, weekly = 7, monthly = 30, etc.).I need a rule on the Review Frequency dropdown field so that the user can't sel

I'm pulling the information in Common/Current User but it's adding the claims based tag in front of the user. Basically, I'm trying to do the below but when the form is loaded; before ever starting the workflow.  

 Symptoms During installation of K2 4.7 CU (May/August) SQL script fails on K2 blackpearl update stage with the following error:   "'TRY_CONVERT' is not a recognized built-in function name."   This error is logged in the udpate manager installer trace file. Diagnosis The “'TRY_CONVERT' is not a recognized built-in function name” error is because this SQL function was only introduced with SQL Server 2012. This is part of the reason the minimum require version is SQL Server 2012. Solution SQL Server 2008 R2 and earlier versions are not supported by K2 4.7 as per product compatibility matrix: https://help.k2.com/blackpearl/support-matrix.   Most likely you run newer version of SQL Server (otherwise there would be other problems during 4.7 installation/upgrade), but your K2 database still has old compatibility level which was set at the time when you installed old version of K2 (when DB was first time created). Increase K2 datatabase compatibility level to the highest possilble level suppo

I am currently trying to query a list on a separate SharePoint site to get to the fields "program managers" and "business managers" when "Product Hierarchy" = the queried list "Title" field. The reason is when someone submits a request they will select the "Product Hierarchy" and in turn the workflow will query the list and send an email to the program managers and business mangers associated with that "Product Hierarchy" and currently the email is not sending. In the workflow history it shows as being sent, but it is not going to the recipients. The "Site URL" it there, but I removed it for posting. Below is a screen shot of my current configuration. I have tried the request both with and without "XML encode inserted tokens". All suggestions are welcomed and thanks in advance!

Hi,As described here that you can have multiple attachments in Nintex Forms for Lists. One of them should be the Default Control.https://community.nintex.com/community/tech-blog/blog/2015/07/30/multiple-attachments-in-a-single-formI have designed a form with three Attachment Controls for my List. I want to know which file attachment is connected to my first Attachment Control, which file attachment is connected to second and third attachment control. I want to get them via CMOS. Is there way find it out? Do you save the relationship between between file attachment and Nintex attachment control in SharePoint?Your quick response in this regard will be highly appreciated.Regards.Aftab Ahmad

I have an application in test environment for which i deleted a workflow. Now once i try and create a package i am getting error doing it.Error attached below. Please note i have already deleted initiation rules from SmartForms. 

Hi, I recently added permission groups to a workflow, and ever since, users have been receiving the following error message:      The workflow could not update the item, possibly because one or more columns for the item require a       different type of information : Access DeniedAll I understand at this point is that it is a permissions error, and it must be something to do with the level of permissions that the initiator has because this error doesn't occur for me whenever I initiate an item.  (I included myself in all of the 'Set item permission' actions.)The 'MCR Workflow Error' attachment shows a snippet of the workflow where the error occurs...Here is some more information on the permissions that I have set-up:I set-up a number of SharePoint Groups in the TeamSite, each with Member level access (i.e. can do all but delete items).  (See attachment 'SharePoint Permissions'.)I have added these SharePoint Groups to 'Set item permission' actions to the workflow where appropriate.  (At

 Symptoms When designing an email and using the "Link to Item" which comes from the Item Reference created automatically by SharePoint, the actual link displayed in an email at runtime can sometimes be broken IF the name of the site the workflow resides within has spaces in it.The hyperlink created by K2 for "Link to Item" inherits the name of the app and because there's a space, the space breaks up the hyperlink and does not contain all of the desired information.  Diagnoses This is related to how the hyperlink inline function works and is not considered a bug, but designed behavior. The Inline function is not designed to handle spaces in a URL, nor is a URL supposed to contain spaces.  Resolution When dropping in the hyperlink inline function the tag is added to the text specified within HTML so that any text within the tag will have the hyperlink text decoration, hence the non-broken link, and will also have the functionality to allow the user to navigate to the desired URL.However,
