Hello! We’re running SharePoint & Nintex Workflow 2010, v 2.2.2.2. On our Test installation when we respond to a FlexiTask, there is a comment box and if we type something it becomes part of the Workflow History, very handy. But on our Production installation which is the same OS and Nintex version, the comment box is missing. I’ve searched for settings everywhere I could, is there some easy way to get this to show? Thanks!

 Symptoms How to nest an Else statement in a For loop. Diagnoses The UI prevents this, but there is a workaround. Resolution Create the conditionals in an Unbound Rule (outside of the context of triggers like 'When the Form/Control raises an event') and then using the 'Execute Another Rule' action to call the unbound rule. There are limitations to our rule UI that prevent nesting in some scenarios, but I've found that this has been an effective workaround. 

Hi there,i've created a Nintex Form and added a list view control to it to show different items from another list within the form. We want to use the rating function to rate those items from the other list. The rating columns are displayed but i cannot actually rate the item from the other list.Are the rating columns in a list view control just for displaying the average rating of the items? Is there any way to rate an item using the listview control?PS: We are using Nintex Forms 2013 OnPrem

Our current SharePoint Environment doesn’t host SMTP for incoming email and doesn’t have Exchange Server Send Connectors. The reason being is to comply on our internal security policies relating to data security and server hardening.Can Nintex Workflow 2010 - Lazy Approval still work using any other method or it is a prerequisite to configure SharePoint Incoming Email Settings and Exchange Server Send Connectors?

I am stuck with field pre-population issue.I have a form for new and existing users. For new users I have free text fields to capture the information.For the existing user(in the changed from column), I want to use a people picker to select the person(and to display first name only) and then to populate the following fields (last name, dept, company, job title, etc... ).When I use the people picker and configure Show field: First Name I get the full name.This is annoying but I could probably live with it. My main issue is how to auto populate the other fields based on the this people picker. I have found guides for using the current user but as I am still a nintex novice would love some help.I'm using Nintex enterprise with SharePoint 2013 on prem.Thanks in advanceJon

I am trying to pass a hyperlink to a word document using nintex workflows (2013). I have the content control setup in Word. (Rich Text) I have the workflow actually passing the URL.  However, it shows up as an unclickable text string.  Is there anyway to make that string a clickable URL?I have tried:sending HTML.Sending the URL String alone.Setting a URL Field in SharePoint and sending that field.Building a string and sending thatI'm out of ideas.  Can someone help me out?

Someone let me in on a trick to start workflows without the "Start Screen" by making setting Form Type "Custom" and deleting the Start Page line. It works fine when you click on the workflow by clicking on "Site Workflows" from "Site Contents" and then clicking on the workflow you want to start.My problem is how to I get the Workflow URL for a javascript button or SharePoint Quick Launch. The way I got the URL for the "uncustomized" form was to click the workflow and copy the URL. Then I had to actually click the "Start" button to get the workflow to execute.When you use the "Custom" form, there is no longer a URL to go to. I would like to add this action of not having to click "Start Workflow" to a button.The other thing I'm trying to configure for my users is the Workflow Landing Place---the place the workflow dumps you out when it has had its way with you.  The place seems to be back on the "Start a New Workflow" page and this is confusing for my users because there is no recognizab

Hi Everyone,I've been having a problem in creating a pattern to remove, replace or capitalized a specific part of a word in a workflow.All this time I'll just copy all the patterns of others in this forums to integrate on my workflows. But I think it's time to know how to do it. Also I'm really new to this environment so I'm really a beginner in this topic. I have this as an examplei:0#.f|membership|rogelio.tan@company.commy desired output is:Rogelio TanThanks in advanceCheers!

Hi,I am trying to accomplish the below outlined approval process using nintex workflow. Is there a way we can achieve this without using State machine? Or, should I use Flexi task combined with state machine? The requests are submitted as SharePoint list items. Please advice.,

Hi,I have been having a problem with my form borders. No matter what I do my form always fails to show the right side boarder. It was suggested that having overlapping fields may cause the problem but ensuring all fields are not touching has not made a difference.I'm starting to think some custom CSS that was put in is causing the problem although I don't know what to look for.I have attached a picture of a test form I did to show the issue and the custom css associated to the form.Any help at all would be greatly appreciated.Andrew

HelloI have a problem with a very basic workflow that has been running correctly for months. The approvers click in the e-mail notification but the task form doesn't open. It just says "Sorry, something went wrong". I also can't open the task form when editing the workflow. It just doesn't open, no error messages.A workaround could be to use the SharePoint default approver form but that's not what I want.I use a request approval action in SharePoint 2013.Anyone has an idea on what the cause may be?Thank you!Thomas

I have a complex workflow (2013) with a state machine and multiple Flexi tasks, and I want to copy it from one list to another list on the same site.  The second list is a copy of the first, created using the SharePoint list gallery.  The copied workflow works until it gets to either a Flexi task or a Commit pending changes action, at which point it breaks down and sends two error messages, one that just says "an error has occurred" and another that says "The workflow could not update the item, possibly because one or more columns for the item require a different type of information."I tried resetting the Flexi task and even replacing it with a new Flexi task before discovering the Commit pending changes produced the exact same error.  My next step is going to be trying to recreate the list from scratch instead of the from the SharePoint list gallery and see if the error persists.Has anyone encountered this before?  Feels like a Nintex bug.

Hi Guys,for a customer using Nintex Workflow 2010 I would like to show an additional field on the default task form for a flexi task.What I've done so far:Created a new site column of type number. Let's call it "NumberOfDays"Created a new content type inheriting from Nintex Workflow Multi Outcome TaskAdded my new site column to this content typeMade sure the content type is available in the Workflow Tasks listChanged my flexi task to use the new content typeNow I would like to show my new "NumberOfDays" field on the task form, to collect additional information while a person approves/rejects.Limitations:No Nintex FormsNo InfoPathNo VisualStudioAs a workaround I could:Let the users enter the information dircetly in the comments box - Bad, because I'd need some regex afterwards and a lot of trust in the users always providing the correct formatUse an additional "Request Data" action to get the number of days via an additional task - Bad, because another task form needs to be opened and f

I have a last name field and I want to add a validation that if  it is empty AND the form has no attachments, then it is invalid.  In other words either the last name needs to be filled or the form needs an attachment.....I can't get anything to validate against the attachment control. Any ideas?

Is there a way to configure the tab index for controls on a form. It seems to do a good job of following the controls sequentialls when they're in a single column. If you attempt a double column form layout, it starts to get confused. We're using Nintex 2013 Forms.
