Hello Everyone,I am working on a project where we would be making use of repeating columns in Nintex form.As per our understanding, items added under repeating columns would sit under a single cell instead of breaking it in to different rows. Is there way, to break the items added in repeating columns in to different rows instead of making it to sit in a single cell.Thanks in advance!Cheers,Shreedhar H V

Hi,Here is my scenario.I have three lists.ShipmentsProductsLicensesThe Product list has a total number of allowed quantity and allowed price.Every time a new item is created in "Shipments" list, the, workflow will calculate the remaining qty and remaining amount by aggregating the sum of all qtys / amounts entered so far for a particular product and then compare against the value in Products Table. I built a workflow on Shipments list and the workflow woks fine if I enter 1 item at a time. However, if I do bulk edits such as Three or Four items, then, one of the items has Workflow errored.Below is my Workflow Logic. ( I also attached the .nwf file).Error from one of the instances when Bulk Edits are performed on "shipments" list.Please advise on how to fix this,Workflow error does not give enough information on the error detail.

Hi all, As you know we don't have field masks in Forms today, but we are looking at it with our new Responsive Designer technology. We are after your feedback on field masks:What field masks do you use or would like to see?How would you want it to work?Choice of options - Phone numbers, Zip codes etc Would you want it to automatically detect region settings? Would you want to define your own? If so, how would you expect it to work?We have done some early concepts for our new forms technology seen below.As always, I appreciate your feed back.Euan

Hi allI've created a simple review workflow but the task notification links are not working.  The email content shows the reference as opposed to the data (e.g. it shows "Review Deadline" (the workflow variable) as opposed to the actual date set; and "context Item URL" instead of the document name.  When I click on the link properties, they show the url as "Javascript:void(0)".  I've tried the fixes given in previous questions, such as re-inserting the links, but nothing seems to be working.  I've attached a couple of screenshots to try and show what I mean! javascript:void(0) review task workflow notifications 

Hello!I have a question about data transform.I have a chain of processes. I need to insert to the flexi task notification a variable that contains information about all updates in table style. I read information about the item by “Call Web service” action.<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><soap:Envelope xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:m="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/soap/">  <soap:Header>  </soap:Header>  <soap:Body>    <m:GetVersionCollection>      <m:strlistID>{Common:ListID}</m:strlistID>      <m:strlistItemID>{ItemProperty:ID}</m:strlistItemID>      <m:strFieldName>AppendedText</m:strFieldName>    </m:GetVersionCollection>  </soap:Body></soap:Envelope>This action provide me XML:<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-inst

I have a couple of loops running.  The first for each group is a list of roles like: safety, director; operationseach role can contain up to 5 assignees.Thus my second loop needs to assign the actual name to a variable.For example;  lets say we are at the role "safety" and in that role there are 3 assignees; Bob,John,KateThus I would like to assignsafety1 = Bobsafety2 = Johnsafety3 = Kate  What I would like to do is pre-create all the variables ; ie safety1, safety2, safety3, etc..Then when the loops are running.  assign the variables to their appropriate assignee.Looking at the set variable action, I need to use a drop down selection.  Is there a way to set the variable by concatenating 'safety'&'loopcount' as the variable name, which has previously been created then set its value?Hope that makes sense.  Thanks for your input.

Hi,I want to know the official best practices to face a really huge form in Nintex with multi language enabled.We tried with the method proposed on this article: Nintex Forms – Multi-Language Form | The SharePoint Pub  (lookup functions on calculated fields pointing to a translation list), but the problem is the form is querying the list for each calculated field. It means if we have 150 labels on a form, it's necessary to request the translation list 150 times, and the performance is really unacceptable.This would run ok in small forms, with a lower number of labels, but in this case, Do you know how to get all literals in a single query? (resource file, XML load or something similar).I also tryied with JavaScript code and the performance is quite better, but then, the form complexity increases a lot (too much lines of code), and JavaScript is not compatible in Nintex Mobile.It would be great to know your best practices for this case.Thank you in advance.Best regards.

Hi,We have a Nintex form for a picture library on SharePoint, and for some unknown reason when we open a form in display mode, any buttons (save, close, save & submit) seem to refresh the form rather than close it. We've tried a range of solutions, including recreating the button, enabling the save button on display form and changing the form from cancel/close to save and submit. When the form is in Edit mode the save and cancel buttons work as expected.Has anyone encountered this before? Is there something that would cause a form to be unable to close?The environment is Nintex forms & workflow on prem.Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

I have a calculated field with a formula of userProfileLookup({Current User}, "PreferredName") that works on desktop but does not display anything on Nintex Mobile for iPhone layout.Is the Runtime function unsupported on mobile? 

Wouldn't it be nice if Nintex were to create a SharePoint Azure install where we could build and demo solutions to our members and test out new versions of products?Or is it just me that wants something like that?

I trying to format the content contorl data that is updated through a workflow. The format that I applied on word template content control doesn't reflect when the document is updated using the workflow.Any idea?

I am wondering if it is possible to make a field mandatory in a task, but not have it mandatory for the item itself.Here is my situation - I have a workflow that ends with a task where the user has to fill in a bunch of fields prior to completing the task. However, these fields are not mandatory. They are required in order to start the proper workflow after that point though. One in particular is titled 'Document Type', as different documents go through different processes. The users in my office have been very reluctant to actually fill in these fields, and as a result the wrong workflow starts and it causes a lot of unnecessary administrative work to stop the wrong workflow and start the right one.I have made these fields mandatory in the past. However, the problem with that is any user who opens the item just to view the details is unable to close the item if the mandatory field is empty. But if a user is just viewing the information that is available and it isn't their project to w

Hello all.I'm having an issue when copying a file from 1 library to another using the Copy Item activity.When i copy a file with a content type of "Document" it ends up with a different content type in the destination.Both libraries have all the same content types.  The destination library was created from a template of the source library.All content types are site content types.It only affects files where the source is of content type "Document".  All other content types copy over properly.Nintex Version: 3.2.2.10.Any ideas would be appreciated.ThanksEd

I have an active production site that is using Nintex WF 2013 and the problem I have is that the site is using the Nintex_Config Database. When I look at the Database Mappings page in CA it says it is using the Nintex_Config DB. I have a workflow database setup for it that I'd like it to use. How can I reset this without screwing up access to existing workflows we are on Database version 3.0.2.0Thank you!

Is there any way to turn off the automatic system logging of SQL actions? I am already logging when it completes, I don't need a line for each successful sql query.thanks.

We are a new Nintex User and purchased Nintex WFs and Forms. When trying to edit a form the bottom is cut off. On the left we can't get to SharePoint / List Columns, on the right we can't get to Rule functionality (screen shot attached). We logged a ticket with Nintex and after some testing they determined that there is a possibility that we have corrupted Custom CSS in our master page (SP2013 on prem). Furthermore, Nintex development apparently can't do much about it (even though the support guy has seen this issue with a few other customers recently) and referred us to this community. Nintex Support suggested two work arounds: 1) click on General, then use the Tab key, which resizes the Edit Form page and makes the functionality at the bottom appear. 2) develop the form in another site collection without a custom master page and then export / import. Has anybody else experienced this issue? Any suggestions short of hiring someone to look at our CSS (we don't have that expertise in-ho
