Hi,      I have encountered an error when creating subsites using Nintex Workflow. The site template is configured in Simplified Chinese (zh-CN) but there is an error reported in the "Workflow History" List. The error message looks like "The requested site template 'test1' for the selected language (LCID) '2052' does not exist."      I appreciate any suggestions or advice from you guys. Thank in advance.

Does anyone have any insight as to why, for my workflow, that when I use a set condition the workflow works flawless, but when I put in a state machine above it. it gets stuck on change state after the first change state. I can even put an email action on the yes side of condition and it will send the email but as soon as it hits the change state on either side, it just gets stuck. I tried searching the net and could not come up to a conclusion.

I have a number of workflows where different people are assigned to work on the project at intervals throughout the project's life. I would like to set up a list view for a group of people who are involved in the later stages of the workflow. However, I would like to filter out the projects that haven't gotten to their specific stage yet.To do this, I thought it would be simple enough to add a filter When column 'x' is empty; however, that is not an option in the list view edits. The options are When column 'x': is equal to / is not equal to / is greater than / is less than / is greater than or equal to / is less than or equal to / begins with / contains.Is there a way to fill in the required information so that the projects will not appear in the list view if column 'x' is equal to 'empty'?

I have a workflow for credit requests from customers. The last stage of the workflow is a client event where the user has to confirm that the customer has made a claim (requests are raised when there's an issue, investigated and then only paid if the customer claims). At this stage the workflow is 'pending'. Customers can make a claim for anything that happened up to two years ago.My question is that since there will be a lot of requests in the 'pending' stage (assume about 2000 process instances that complete, 500 left in pending state per year), what is the best way to implement this sort of workflow? I currently have one workflow process for the whole thing. This means there will be a lot of pending requests in the worklist and probably make K2 slow to a crawl. Alternatively I could have two workflows, whereby the first ends when the request goes into the pending state, and then the second one starts when the customer claims. The workflow is integrated with a Winforms app. The issue

Hi community, We are preparing the Nintex 2010 to 2013 migration.When using Aarons tool Workflow Migration Preparation Tool to figure out the potential claims migration problems the tool logs a lot of "Workflow Association not found for <workflow name>" errors .I checked some of those workflows and the problem seems that these workflows have been deleted while there are still items with a workflow history regarding the deleted workflows or even running instances of the workflows.Could any of you please tell me how to fix this e.g. how to remove all the information of the deleted workflows.ThanksThomas

Hi I'm trying to get the ID of a control (list lookup) in a repeating section. It fires onclick, but I seem to have the syntax wrong because it can't seem to find the ID. I just get "undefined".Here is what I tried to get me the ID but no luck: var ddlA = NWF$(".rptEMS .nf-repeater-row:last .ddlEMSAccess select");

My client would like to manage the "assignees/approvers" for an Assign a Task workflow action within a SharePoint group, so they can quickly update the approver on the fly without coming into the workflow to modify the Assign a Task workflow action directly (re-publsh, etc).   When I use the SharePoint group for the "Assign a Task" workflow action, it assigns the task to that group, but no email notification goes for the task.  Does anyone have any recommendations for how approvers can be managed at a group level? I've managed approvers through a list for the on-premise version of Nintex, but not O365.  I do not have to assign to multiple users, so I have not explored the "Assign a Task Process," and I need a way to capture the task ID and that is not supported with this workflow action.

Hi!  Is there an alternative to the "Query User Profile" if you don't have access to that action?

Question: How do i convert a number into a string so I can pad it with zeros and append it to an alpha value?Background: I am creating a workflow to create a sequence number to track requests.  The sequence number will have an alpha code + current year + a three digit incremental sequence number. (i.e., "aa17001").  When a new request is added, it is given an alpha code based on the requester department, and the sequence counts up from 1 to 999.  The problem is the sequence is numeric (in order to be incremented), and I need to pad low numbers with zeros to get the right character length, and then I need to append it to the alpha code.  for example, sequence '2' needs to be padded with zeros to become '002', and appended to the alpha code and year to end up as a string 'aa17002'. A sequence number 14  might end up in the sequence string as 'cb18014'.I have searched through Nintex workflow functions, but there is no 'fn-toString()' function available, and I can't find anything in the di

Hi All,Seen a few similar questions like JavaScript to trigger form validation rules by people like Johnny Kwok but i don't see any resolutions.I have some buttons for "Next" and "Previous" to move me between tabs.These buttons call something like the following function:function goStep(stepNumber) { var hiddenTxtBox = NWF$("#"+hiddenTxtBoxId); hiddenTxtBox.val(stepNumber); NWF.FormFiller.Functions.ProcessOnChange(hiddenTxtBox); }Can I modify these functions to include a validation check prior to firing the move to another tab?P.S. Out of curiosity, what is the point of the "causes validation" flag in the button control settings if it doesn't actually cause validation? What is it validating?thanks

I have a page with multiple list form web parts, each one for a different content type. When you add an item, the status information "Item created successfully" appears on the last added list form web part, whether you've clicked on that web part or another. This is very confusing for our users.

I have  created a SharePoint web part page, then I added a Nintex form web part and configured it, it works fine if I set the value of Item ID parameter manually. However, this is not what I want to achieve. I want to set its value dynamically using Query String/URL Parameter. How do I set its value to accept a parameter instead of a number. See screen shot below:

I have a Nintex Form 2013 Standard and a Customer ID textBox field and a "search" button next to the textBox. I need to know how I can make a WCF web service call on the Search button click and with the XML result to update a repeating section. Example: I enter the customer ID in the textBox, then press Search. The result will return the client details and a number of existing client orders. With the result in XML format, I need to populate some fields and also a repeating section containing the orders.If anyone has a solution, please let me know.Please note that I cannot use the web request control as I don't have Nintex Enterprise.Thank you,Marian

I do a lot of heavy lifting in the original nitnex Request form in a list.I'd like to surface a view of this form as part of a task form in a later workflow. I am trying to use an Iframe which works well, except I find I am getting vertical clipping of my iframe (i.e. content is getting cut off). I don't want to set a fixed height because content will change. I would be ok with a scroll bar but I can't seem to get the iframe to show me a verticla scroll bar, even when I try to add overflow-y: scroll on every single div I can find in the dev console.Basically it seems like the iframe doesn't know how tall the content is?Am i missing something?thanks

I can cause all of the calculated fields to refresh by calling the following function:NWF.FormFiller.Functions.ProcessOnChangeEvents();Is there any way to execute JavaScript after the refresh is complete?

All,Nintex Forms 2013If you implement a set of cascading drop down controls - Cascading drop downs and Nintex Forms for SharePoint  and your second control only has 1 value, how can the 1 value be set as the default value automatically rather than having the form user having to select the value?ThanksAndrew
