I need to make an edit to a Flexi Task Approval Form.  I can open the form from the "Edit Task Form" and it has a radio button option for Approve, Reject, and Request Changes.  The problem is there I text associated with Approve that I need to update, but it is Read-Only.  Any suggestions on how to edit the text?ThanksKim

I am using Nintex with SharePoint 2013 on prem.I want to do an import / export sp-web to move a site from one farm (test) to another (prod). There is an associated workflow. The documentation I saw around this move seemed to indicate that it would only work within the same farm. https://community.nintex.com/docs/DOC-1094What is the best approach here? I'm not so concerned with preserving workflow history, I just don't want the associations to get messed up after the move.Thank you.

Good morning. Before I finished my cup of coffee, I deleted a workflow I thought was an old version, and it appears it was the current working version.Is there somewhere to restore deleted workflows?Thanks!

Me again.Nintex forms and SharePoint 2013.I've currently setup a basic reminder workflow, which emails an assignee 1 day after a due date has past.  The workflow is at the site level as I've scheduled it.The workflow runs once a day as scheduled.My end users now want to use the time portion of the date and time control on the form.I've thought about having the workflow scheduled multiple times so the SharePoint list is queried several times a day. i.e. (08,10,12,14,16,18 - hrs or something similar). Sometimes the minutes i.e. 15:30 are important.Is there an easier/alternative way to not miss a due date and time. The due date could be several months in advance, so I don't really want to pause a workflow on a item until X date/time is reached.ThanksAndrew

HiI have a deleted workflow showing in the item lists (in a document library).  SP Designer is not compatible with the version of SP we are using so we cannot use the identified fix.  Is there another way to remove the workflow from the item list? workflow 

I'm a newbie in Nintex. How do i apply a custom css in a people picker control? I want to adjust the height and width of the People Picker Control. Thanks in advance?

I've noticed some squirrelly behavior when I have both a SharePoint ListView Web part and a Nintex List Web Part on the Same Page.  Even after I connect them via the Connect Function on the Nintex Web Part, the Nintex List Web Part is not always in sync with the SharePoint ListView Web part.Also not clear on the initial settings--Any way to make the Item ID more dynamic? Update on Fly? I've been putting 1 as the ID. What if  I delete that record--Do I physically need to reedit the web part. Normally be clicking on one of the items it re-syncs--but notice after filtering the Nintex Web part is showing a non-displayed record.Other funny stuff happens when I alter the ListView Web Part by editing the Url for various filters. At this time when I click the on the Item in the ListView Web Part, the Nintex List Web Part displays but all items on my ListView Web Part disappear.No Cordination on Filtered URL:Url is filtered by Name:http://WebServer/sites/ocrs/Lists/OCRs/AllItems.aspx#InplviewHa

Hi - I have created a workflow for review and approval.  The workflow starts if the column I have created called "Send for Approval" is set to "Yes! Go!".  This will change the status of the workflow to "starting", but it won't send notifications and move to "in progress" until the document is checked in.I have two issues:1.  Is there a way to check the document in automatically when the "send for notification" is changed to "Yes? Go!".  I tried the "check in" action but found out that only works when the "check out" action is used earlier in the workflow - which it isn't.2.  My workflow is also meant to check the item out and change the column value to "Not Yet" if there are changes required, but this is not happening.  It should also then start the review workflow again once the column value is changed to "Yes! Go!".I've attached the workflow - any help is gratefully received!!!#workflow #statemachine #changestate #checkout UPDATE - I have resolved issue #2 by inserting a "commit pen

Hi Everyone,I've just started with Nintex so a bit of help would be great.  Here is what I'm trying to achieve:I have a list of which has the following (as well as others, but those are not important)   Due Date (Date)   Reference Number (Unique) (Text)   Date Received (Date)   Assigned to (person or Group)What would like to do is one day before the due date, I would like to send an email to the person listed in the "Assigned to" field with ALL the "Reference Number"  and its "Due Date" and "Date Received" that is associated to this person.So for exampleMichael Smith has the following:Reference #: 1Due Date: 01/10/2017Date Received: 01/ 01/2017Reference #: 2Due Date: 01/10/2017Date Received: 01/ 01/2017I would like to send Michael Smith the following email :Hi Michael SmithYou have the following due on 01/01/2017Reference #: 1Due Date: 01/10/2017Date Received: 01/ 01/2017List Item URL: [[List Item URL]]Reference #: 2Due Date: 01/10/2017Date Received: 01/ 01/2017List Item URL: [[List It

i need to find the loggedin User belongs to which group? how to find or what to use to get the group name of the logged in User in K2 Appit for Sharepoint. Appreciate any Help!

How can I invoke the "Print to PDF" function from a button on a form?  (I would prefer a "Print" button to the ribbon selection.)

I'm in the process of building my first Nintex Mobile App. I named it, added the email groups, the emails came in fine. Now what do I do? I'd like for the mobile user to be able to start a Nintex workflow using a simple Nintex Form. I did receive instructions on how to download it since I added my name to the email list for testing purposes. So what are my next steps? Should I have built a form and workflow first? How do I connect the app to the workflow? I've been looking around online and Nintex sites, but can't seem to find any details. Help!!!

I have a situation , I have more then 400 records in list. The list form is using SQL request control which is connected to a text field. Now the data in SQL control is changed (the lookup data is renamed in the lookup table).Eg. the old data was1. Division 12. Division 2After modification 1. Division 1 new2. Division 2 newSo if I open an existing form the sql request control will be blank. It will be blank even if I update in the list text field with the new data.Is there a way to update the form data without opening the form one by one.

I'm not sure if this is possible.I have two lists.List A ( for Storage )Two columns: Facility, UnitList BThree Columns: Name, Facility (Choice Type), Unit (Lookup Type)List A has data that looks like this:Facility 1 - Unit 1Facility 1 - Unit 2Facility 1 - Unit 3Facility 2 - Unit 1Facility 2 - Unit 2etc.The end goal is for a user to come into List B, fill in their name and choose their Facility from a drop down menu. Then the Unit drop down menu should only show the options associate with that Facility - instead of all available units.I was thinking Nintex would be able to help with something like that.Ideas?

Hello, yesterday we’ve installed the newest version of Nintex Forms. Now we’ve got the issue, that if we are working with a “Person-Column”, the drop-down where you can choose your user it will not be displayed correctly. Or  And this error only happens at the People/Person Drop-Down I’ve also tried to set the all the fields in the background and the people fields in the front, but I always got the same issue. Nice Regards

Hi all, Are there any inline functions to conditionally hide or manipulate strings?  e.g. I have a form with optional fields and send a notification email to someone when the form is submitted.  If the user does not populate these fields, I don't want to show the labels and the empty fields in the email.  e.g. the mobile phone is optional. An inline function along the lines of if(isblank(mobilePhone),"","Mobile: "&mobilePhone) would be awesome. I think I can do this using the build string action but I'm wondering if I can do this directly in actions such as the send notification action. Thanks,Chris

Our company recently upgraded to Nintex Workflow 2013 version 3.1.10.0.  Now I'm noticing then when I go to publish a change to workflow, if I had a description saved for that workflow, it get's removed.  It looks like when you click the button to "Publish", that the form that launches doesn't bring up the existing description.  The field is blank.  So unless you retype the description, when you click to publish, the blank description now overwrites the existing description.  Is this a known bug with this version, or is it possibly just an issue in our environment?

Need to have an autosave for forms...or at least a save and continue.  Forms are losing all entered data after being open for more than 20 min.

Question for the community about patching a live farm with a new version of Nintex Workflow 2013. When you click the "upgrade" button in Central Administration to update the databases to the latest version, after installing a newer version of Nintex Workflow, does this have any negative impact on new or running workflow instances while it's updating?

Last week I made a workflow mistake--not my first. Actually, part of this I will attribute to a confusing setting in Nintex; the other part is purely mine.  The setting involved a task field "% Complete", I used it like I did in SharePoint. I was looking for all tasks NOT Complet; which I interpreted to mean less than 100. Nintex wasn't viewing it that way, it was seeing %complete as a fraction of 1--1 being completed--any decimal value would be not complete.  So for the first part of the error, I extracted the complete with the incomplete.The second part of the error was strictly bad programming, I was in a loop and forgot to initialize a variable that I was holding text and text got copied where it shouldn't have been--mea culpa!  I had thought to template the list before I started my operation so that I could and did restore the data.The question is how many times do you use a test environment?We have one--but it is never set up the way we need to test.  Most times I execute Workflo

If I am updating or capturing few items from a list in the workflow, I would also like to Collect, Report (may be excel) and send all of this in one mail (ok! the last part is easy ). How can I proceed ? RegardsIvan

Has anyone been able to add chatting to their Nintex form?I need to add some functionality so the task requester and task worker can interact quickly and keep everything logged.  Does anyone know how this can be done?

I looked on Google and here but could not find a solution for my current issue. Maybe someone can help me here:I have a request to provide a picture library where one of our locations can upload / share pictures of projects, parties and so on. They also want to be able to provide additional info such as who is in that picture (people picker), a description and a field to add a link. I can basically achieve all of this with a standard picture library. However I would like to place the additional info mentioned above right next to the preview image and not below it. When I start editing the form for this library the preview image does not get displayed at all and I can't seem to be able to add it again.So my question is: How to customize the form of a picture library without losing the preview image in the process?Thanks in advance!Simon

This article provides answers to frequent questions about mapping Nintex Workflow and SharePoint content databases.Looking for Nintex for SharePoint 2016 guidance? See the following link. http://help.nintex.com/en-US/nintex2016/current/Default.htm#cshid=dbmappingDo I need a Nintex content database for every SharePoint site collection using Nintex Workflow? In many cases we recommend a 1-to-1 mapping, where each Nintex Workflow content database is mapped to a SharePoint content database. However, if you have over 25 SharePoint content databases, you may choose to map databases by department or other grouping. For guidance on planning database mapping and maintenance, see Database Design Guide: Nintex Workflow.Do mapped databases need to be backed up simultaneously?Yes. For details, see Nintex Workflow Backup and RestoreHow do I split an existing Nintex content database? You can split Nintex content databases using the NWAdmin operation MoveData.
