When are the Flexi Task reminders triggered? On the Due Date or when the task is created? In my very simple workflow I have a Flexi Task due in 7 days (Calculate date) but the reminders are triggered right after the task is created not waiting for the Due Date. Is this the expected behavior?

Hi community members,I am currently working on a document approval workflow. The wf starts if a document is added to the library. It is actually pretty straightforward. However, I experience workflow errors and I don't have a clue where to make any further adjustments. I've spent the whole day on looking for any good recommendations here and on other sites. Unfortunately, it didn't help much. Further, the workflow history does not say very much, only that an error occured.Here is what I got so far:Any ideas? Thank you in advance!

I have created a list in SharePoint (List A). I have included a Nintex workflow in this list, which creates an item in a separate list (List B). List B is a Calendar.In the 'Create Item in Separate List' function in Nintex, I have specified for it to take certain fields (including start date and end date) from List A. However whenever I create a new item in List A and execute the workflow, it errors with the following message:"Coercion Failed: Unable to transform the input lookup data into the requested type"I can't see what I might be doing wrong. Any help?ThanksShaun

I've got a variable collection that I would like to process and remove duplicates, but I'm not seeing how to do so. This is with SharePoint 2010, not using Nintex Live.Nevermind! Sorry, I found it. Please delete this

Hello,I have a document library in SharePoint that is pretty locked down on permissions but I would like to create a way for user to submit content that can be reviewed by the library owners. Is there a way to use a hyperlink that would open a form that would allow a user to submit content to a review workflow? Or really, is there an easy way to create a workflow or form that lets users fill out the required metadata, attach the document and after it is approved, get it submitted to a library? That is probably asking a lot but any points anyone could offer on the process would be great.Thanks!Dan

We have a checkbox for users to re-route form approvals to a different department (they can have two bosses) on most of our forms. I'm trying to decided whether or not to use a Switch or Set a Condition to determine which approval path the form will take. What are the differences between a Switch and Set a Condition or what would be the benefits of using one over the other?Thanks!

Good Morning everyone,I got a problem, which is hopefully possible to solve.I got a workflow, which changes the file-name of a document automatically, when changing the metadata. The problem is, if a user has no delete-permission, it is getting an error (I know - u need delete permission to change a filename in SharePoint).So I tried to give in the workflow delete permission to the user who started the workflow, before the workflow tries to change the filename, and after that, taking the delete-permission back - but it still doesnt work. I first thought, it is reacting too fast, so the permission doesnt apply before the workflow takes the step to change the filename - so I paused the workflow for about 3 Minutes, which should be enough... still doesnt work, so the Problem is something different I think.Anyone knows, what is causing this? Thanks for your help in advance!

I am getting the following error for some items when running a notification action in Nintex :"Failed to send notification. Cannot get the full name or e-mail address of user". The "to" field used is from a lookup field of another list. The look up field is a single line of text.The workflow does pick up the email address and works for some items?Any ideas?

Hi, I'm sure this is fairly straightforward but I'm having trouble getting started. I have two Sharepoint lists. The first is a list of risks. The second is a list of reviews for those risks - there may be more than one list item here relating to each risk identified in the first list. Each risk in list one has a unique text reference assigned to it and I'm transfering that to the second list in order that it is clear which risk the reviews are relevant to. All I want to do is have the  K2 display form for list one show the risk information from that list and then automatically display the relevant review(s) from list two.  I've been reading a lot but have got quite confused as to how to achieve this. I can get it working with the relevant views from each list when #ID match up but given there is more than one entry per risk on the review list the #IDs will not always line up with the initial risk information. If anyone can point me in the right direction I'd be very grateful.     

Hello. I am using the form's Custom JavaScript section to check the date/time (we have a service at my hospital that is available certain days/times). I have that js working fine and I end up with a true or false. If true, I want to show panelA. If false, I want to show panelB. I am having trouble with the syntax.  [if IE 9]  [endif] NWF$(document).ready(function() {var dt = new Date();var w = dt.getDay();var h = dt.getHours();var m = dt.getMinutes();var isAvailable = false;if (w === 1 || w === 2 || w === 3 || w === 4 || w === 5) {  /* is time b/t 9:45 and 4:45? */  if (h >= 9 && h <= 15) {    isAvailable = true;  } else if (h === 16 && h <= 45) {    isAvailable = true;  }} else {  /*not available on weekends*/  isAvailable = false;}window.alert(isAvailable); }); I want to use the isAvailable boolean to show panelA or panelB and am not getting the syntax right. Can anyone help?

This article is very helpful regarding how to control field form focus, but I can't figure out how to set the focus on a drop down list or button (Save or Cancel).Specifically, here's the syntax for a date picker, but what's the syntax for a drop down list or save/cancel button?NWF$('. datetimeFocus input.nf-date-picker').focus();I'm pursuing controlling focus because the form rules don't fire after setting a field value with JavaScript. The only way I can get the rule to fire is if I change focus on some other field...either manually by clicking (don't want that) on the form or changing focus via JavaScript (want that).Any help or other suggestions are appreciated.Thanks,Gary

I have a Hyperlink control on the form. I want to clear both the 'Web Address' and the 'Text to display' field using JavaScript.The control settings are as below -I amable to clear the 'Web Address' field using -NWF$('#' + fldSiteAddress).val('').trigger('change'); However, no matter what I try, I am just not able to clear the 'Text to display' field.Any help will be appreciated.Thanks.

I need to auto-populate a form with existing data from a SharePoint 2016 list. I am using a Custom Javascript to fill the form. I have a repeating section that I need to add to the control on different rows. I've tried using the script: NWF$(".TAP_CSS").find('a').click(); but it doesn't add a row.Here is what I want to do (using the (a).click(), if it worked)var varTAP_FLAG = NWF$('#' + TAP_FLAG_JAVA).val();NWF$('#' + WATER_TAP_FLAG_JAVA).val(varTAP_FLAG);var varTAP_AMT = NWF$('#' + TAP_AMT_JAVA).val();var varTAP_AMT = varTAP_AMT/100+".00";NWF$('#' + WATER_TAP_AMT_JAVA).val(varTAP_AMT);NWF$(".TAP_CSS").find('a').click();var varTAP2_FLAG = NWF$('#' + TAP2_FLAG_JAVA).val();NWF$('#' + WATER_TAP_FLAG_JAVA).val(varTAP2_FLAG);var varTAP2_AMT = NWF$('#' + TAP2_AMT_JAVA).val();var varTAP2_AMT = varTAP2_AMT/100+".00";NWF$('#' + WATER_TAP_AMT_JAVA).val(varTAP2_AMT);Some help would be greatly appreciated.Ray Donovan

Hi Team,I have a Nintex form with almost OOB validation rules and default Submit button. I have a requirement to navigate to a URL on saving the form from New Item.aspx page. This was done from settings -> redirect URLWe have another page and users should be redirected to this one when they save the form from Edit Item.aspx page.Is there any OOB option available or anything possible with no/ minimal coding?Thanks,Soni

I'd like to set the value of a yes/no control on a Nintex form using JQuery and for some reason I'm not able to get the result.To evaluate the result, I'm using the Nintex rules. (Also tried this with a lookup calculated value control with the same results)Let's say that the yes/no control is called Draft. The validation rule would then be:Draft(given that this is a yes/no control, this evaluates to true/false and nothing else is necessary)After giving the control the javascript id Draft I've tried:NWF$("#"+Draft).val("Yes");(and variations of yes - "Yes","yes","True","true","1",1I've also tried setting the prop and attrNWF$("#"+Draft).prop("checked",true); and NWF$("#"+Draft).attr("checked",true);While visually, the prop "checked" the checkbox, it didn't impact the validation rule.So my question is, how to set the value of a yes/no control that that the nintex validation rule recognizes the value correctly?Thanks,

I added a "Button" for print and added this for Client click window.print();It works great but the Print button does not show up when I view an item in view mode. It only appears in Edit mode. What's the fix because I noticed true developer tool that Nintex is setting the button type to be "Submit". Anyone know a fix for this?  By the way the button action I selected in the design is javascript. 

So, I've come across a requirement where the business user needs the below functionality:- User creates item in List A.  List A form has a dropdown of departments that the user will select from.- Once submitted, a workflow should move/copy the list item in List A to List B.- List B has a folder for each department choice option.  Workflow must move/copy the list item from A into the correct department folder in List B.I've tried Copy Item action, but this only allows me to copy the list item from List A into the root of List B, not the folders.  Also, version history is not copied over with the item.I've tried Copy to SharePoint, but using the URL {WebURL}/SiteName/Lists/List B/Department SubFolder gives an error that that there isn't a list located at that URL location.Wondering if any Web Services or a Web Request action could perform what's needed.

We are running an older version of Nintex Workflow on SharePoint 2010. I have a particular workflow that for some reason is not consistently assigning a status when the workflow completes, so the field is blank. When I click the item and go to the Workflow history, it does show that the workflow is complete. Now, I need to get to the Workflow Status page so I can see the Tasks that were completed as well as any comments added at the time, but the only way to get to that screen is through the Status link, which I do not have. Is there any way to either have the Status display or another means of getting to the workflow status screen?

All I want to do is to extract the string of everything up to the first character.So I came up with this as my regular expression.^(.+?)But the extract action wants a collection for the result.    Why?   I can see a collection for a split but can't fathom why an extract would return a collection.Is the an easier way to do this?Say I have the string ABC123I want to return ABC   in a workflow action.

My company is attempting to add DocuSign to our nintex workflows. I am having trouble finding a tutorial that integrates the two. I have a decent understanding of Nintex workflows but docusign is new to me. any help in leading me to the right place would be appreciated. Thanks

I have a document library where attachments sit waiting to be processed. Once processed a column called "status" is updated to "completed". This has allow me to create two views of the library to show items with a status of completed and another view to show items without a status and therefore outstanding.The open in explorer view is used to find and open the relevant attachment, however as it shows all the items it can be trickery to find. What I need is the explorer only showing the outstanding items.Is there a way to achieve this?
