I am working on SharePoint 2013 and I want to create a simple form where users can search for company hotels offers. something similar to booking system.I have a list with all hotel offers (Hotels, Rooms, Prices, Locations...) and users need to fill form (where are they traveling, Dates, Persons, ...) and then a list of all rooms based on entered values is displayed. and then a user click on the hotel he wish to book and a the request is automatically sent to related department.I am not aware if this possible in SharePoint 2013 OOTB or through coding and if there is any other available solution using Nintex Forms and workflow please let me know.Thanks,

All these days for loop action in a workflow was working smoothly, all of a sudden the for loop action is taking huge time and often hanging forcing to cancel the workflow or its going in infinite loop, how to control this behavior.below is the screenshot of my workflow

Is there reference to the NWF$ scripting document library?For example I need to retrive the value on the calc or SQL content on the Nintex form.I tried to us below script:alert(NWF$('#clientidjsvariablename').val()); but it returns undefined.

I found the article below. In my situation, however, I am not refreshing the entire farm. I have one web app with some associated workflows. I don't want to overwrite the entire Nintex db in test (since I have other workflows in use there). And my prod farm continues in active use, so I don't want to stop any services or break any connections. My goal is to copy over the SharePoint web app and associated workflows to test.It isn't so much of a big deal if some workflows are in an odd state after moving. I just want the data and history there, and to be able to restart workflows once moved.What is the best approach?https://community.nintex.com/community/build-your-own/blog/2016/09/12/how-to-refresh-a-development-farm-with-production-data

I have created a custom workflow for a process at my work and I have run into an issue.  The workflow creates several tasks for users to complete (not approval).  The issue I am having is that I have a user who is not on our network that will need to complete the tasks to continue the workflow.  I've modified the custom content type for the task using Nintex Forms and I have published it to Nintex Live, but I can't seem to figure out what ID I would need to pass to open the workflow task form in Live.  Is this even possible to do?  I thought about changing the task to an Approval task and seeing if I could do something with Lazy Approval, but before I went down this path, I wanted to see if there were any other options or ways to accomplish the task.Thanks,Charles Ralston

Hello I have a SharePoint 2013 document library that has a workflow that will set the document workflow status to "Approved" when documents are approved by selected users.  This works great.  However, I'd like to add a SharePoint view to the document library that shows me only the documents that have been approved.  I created a new view called Approved Documents and set the filter so that it only shows documents when the column "Document Approval Workflow" is equal to "Approved".  This is the automatic column that gets populated by the workflow.  When I show this new view it does not list any documents.  I think this should work.  Can you please offer any advice given this information and the attached images?ThanksAndy

During a patching disaster one of our 3 WFE's got dropped from the farm. When added back the Nintex Workflow and Nintex Forms icons refuse to show on the ribbon. Nintex features are activated on SC and Web. Nintex is accessible from the normal Workflows drop down and via the gear. But the Icons refuse to show unless I specifically point my browser to one of the other WFE's.I have tried deactivating and reactivating the Nintex Forms Web Application Feature.Deactivating and reactivating Nintex Workflows via the Central Admin window.Cleared the timer cache.Re-downloaded all features to server from config database(Install-SPFeature -AllExistingFeatures powershell)I'm stumped and pulling out the SP Solutions isn't really an option for me atm.

 Symptoms We needed to do some conditional escalation such that only if some condition is true escalation will fire and a goto activity occurrs, we needed to avoid using custom code and use only wizards so the solution suggested by K2 consultant(Syed Yousef Ali) is to use If statement in an expression for the number of hours before escalation take place such that if the condition is true we set the time to the needed time(like 1 hour) else we set the time to very big value like an equivalent of 100 years. I tested the process and sometimes it is working and sometimes I am getting the below issues in random basis-The added or subtracted value results in an un-representable DateTime. Parameter name: value- Collection was modified enumeration operation may not execute.- Object reference not set to an instance of an object. Diagnoses issue was reproduced and the customer was tld to reduce the time of escalation hours to 6000 hours Resolution My Last response was:"Please try to reduce the t

I have a lookup list that contains a title, a description and an attachment image.I plan to have  a lookup list on a form that access this lookup list.   I already know I can display  the description from the selected lookup.   Is there an easy way to get the image on that lookup list to display?    I found a bit of JS to get the image URL but I was hoping there was an easier way.Or is there a way to get an attachment's URL in a workflow?

I have a field which is in date format and when a new item is added to the list the field is blank (no date).I have a workflow which runs when new items are added. It include the action to "wait for item update" to wait for this field to be manually updated to a date, but the workflow is totally ignoring this action and moves on.any ideas?

I’m new to Nintex so apologies if there is a simple solution for this! We use Nintex 2013 and SP 2013I have the following scenario that I am trying to solve; We submit our expenses via a SharePoint list and we have a separate workflow to deal with approvals etc. However, we are now looking to attach copies of the corresponding receipts to the relevant submitted claim. These receipts are saved as images in a separate picture library (as the user e-mails them directly).The sequence of events we would like to have is the user creates the expenses claim and saves it. They then e-mail their images to the picture library which starts a workflow to attach copies of the receipts to the relevant claim item. Is anyone able to suggest a way to firstly match the two lists (I was thinking of using the e-mail subject line to match the ID of the expenses claim item) then attach the receipts to the claim?If it could be achieved without coding that would be awesome Many thanks for your help!

I have a form which has 3 action buttons SAVE, SUBMIT and CANCEL. I would like to redirect the user upon click on each button. If i use the Form settings -> Redirect Url, that will affect the SAVE and SUBMIT buttons. CANCEL button is easy to setup as it doesn't need to save the data and with the help of Javascript you can redirect to anywhere. However it comes down to 2 buttons which will need to save the data and redirect to different locations.Any idea how can i achieve this within Nintex form designer?I could only think of is to have an interim page where i could query the list using JS and then find the item status to redirect to the appropriate page.

I have a workflow that runs through several department tasks at once, then forwards to the facility manager when done. Several times (not always) when running this workflow, the tasks complete, but it does not continue on like it should. See the screenshot attached. The workflow size is 884k, which I know they say if it goes over 1MB then there may be issues. Is there anyway I can force this WF along? It's frustrating that this keeps happening.

I have been tasked with figuring out a way to do bulk form creation for a Nintex form and I wanted ideas on the best way to approach it so I can minimize the amount of fields a supervisor may enter. Is it better to approach using a SharePoint List Data view for form creation, or use repeating section, or use a CSV they upload and it parses it to get all the values. Has anyone done this and what are your opinions? Each form is unique. Example use case, new hire form where a manager hires a bunch of people at once and wants to add all at once instead of needing to launch and create an individual form every time.

Hi, I was wondering if anyone has a way to assign a request data task to multiple users (only one would be needed to fulfill this task)? OOTB this seems to be not supported... As the user opening the task doesn't seem to be the user the task was assigned to.

 Symptoms Is this possible to change a process escalation date after the process has started? The date is set via a data field. However changing the data field doesn't seem to have an effect on the escalation. So the process escalated on the original date. Is there a way around this? Diagnoses In order for changes to take place the process has to be redeployed and a new instance has to be started. Resolution Changes cannot be applied after the process has started. Please note that escalations get scheduled when the instance hits that step. So, an Activity-level Escalation gets scheduled when that Activity Instance starts. Similarly, an Event-level Escalation gets scheduled with the Event Instance starts. This means that without re-instantiating the instance, there is no way to change the escalation schedule. 

I know you are able to see the previous versions of workflows and open then and publish them, but what if I want to remove all but the current version of the workflow?  What about the same for forms?Yes, I know I can export the form and the workflow, delete the originals and re-import, but I don't want to do that.Does anyone know?  Myself and a colleague would really like to know!
