we re moving the MOSS 2007 to SP 2013 in our old environment we are having so many steps(around 50) with around 120 actions will the nintex workflow support this

Both outlook 2007 and outlook web access are very forgiving with the formatting of any urls you include in mail event email text.To get a url to display properly in Outlook 2003, you have use quotations as per standard html and also add a space before and after your = sign.  Like so:<a href = "http://myserver/workspace">K2 Workspace</a>To avoid adding this url text over and over, and to avoid having to revisit this url throughout if there is a change (such as Development to Production)  I suggest putting this entire text in the value of an Environment variable with a type: Miscellaneous Field.  Then you can drag and drop in this value throughout your process and processes in the future.

I am using a email event followed by an infopath client event in an activity to send a user a task. How can I build up the worklist item url to be added in the email body, i.e thus not use the event notificationoption that send out a notification using the K2 email template?  

we have to develop the InfoPath forms to nintex form in SP 2013 InfoPath form have multiple views.how to develop those views in the nintex form

I'm collecting username and password from the help desk when a new account is being created on a certain system so that the workflow would send an email to the user with the new username and password.I'm creating a new content type and collecting this information with no issues, the problem is I only want the password to be sent in the email through the workflow and I prefer not to have it visible on the task form when the user sees the workflow history data (when the task is completed). Is that possible?

SharePoint 2013 SP1 with August 2016 CU, Nintex workflow enterprise On our Dev server, the list of conditions for Set-Condition and Run-if actions display as an empty drop-down as shownThe license checksAll actions are enabledPermissions are set for everyone.The web application activation page offers the option to activate the feature, but it seems to be activated and the same is true for the QA and Production tiers which are working fine.A random test of other actions seems to indicate they are working.I inherited this server, and have no knowledge of the setup other than what I can see in Central Admin.Any and all ideas will be most appreciated.Regards,  John

Hello Scooby Gang What I've got is an InfoPath form which has a drop down choice of applications for approval. I'm using repeating tales for users who need to pick more than one application to get approved.I'm using the exporting method as detailed here: https://dataqueen.unlimitedviz.com/2013/05/exporting-infopath-repeating-table-data-with-nintex-workflow/ the workflow was working fine without the SQL steps, but now I'm getting an error:Error performing database operation. Format of the initialization string does not conform to specification starting at index 0.Any ideas to correct or a simpler method to achieve the same end?

Can someone please give some details on what the AD user creation through the workflow does? We're only in PROD in a highly confidential user data info. as well as SharePoint is external facing. So I cannot risk doing some testing in PROD AD and PROD SharePoint before knowing all the risks/security areas.Does the action create the user in a disabled state or enabled account? what about the access, does it automatically grants the access to all areas or the permissions/groups would be a different thing?I'm not super aware of how AD works general, so the more details the better..Thanks! 

I have a list with several items on it, each has a scheduled workflow. I chose "No New Instances" for my workflow because we are retiring this list and going with a new process. When I went into each item to try to remove the scheduled workflow, none appear. Yet I keep getting emails that say the workflow schedule failed. It appears that I need to reinstate the workflow, remove the schedules, then remove the instances of the workflow.Is there a way to mass remove scheduled workflows from several items on a list or do I need to do it manually one by one?

As I can get the date and time in the workflow ends, I have my creation date but I need to know the end date and I want it to be when the Workflow ends.I have several records that are "In Progress" and I need the date and time when they change to finished.

I talked with Bryan whose input has been very valuable in the journey of learning K2 BlakPearl and also help me achieve the K2 Certs for our daily work.At first the opportunity of use the tool with Sharepoint really got our attention and open the door in the company. however after while we decided not to follow that path and use K2 BlackPearl stand alone with SQL as the main Data Source.So based on the principle of mass markets... if I could only make 1,000,000 people gave me $1 USD each... lets apply this to this case...Since everything is going to the cloud now, some idea come up regarding the product. what if K2 BlackPearl Hosted is:Available as tenant for many many users.This will be hosted in K2 Cloud with a cluster of servers running BlackPearl.Tenants will be granting the users to login from their browserUsers will have the ability to host their own domain or just host the app.Ability to export the running application to the Android/IOS Market.The Tenant web interface will inclu

Basically, I need to have a confirmation page that says "Request was approved" or "Request was rejected" based upon the Task Outcome.I'm trying to use the Redirect feature of the Flexi-Task Nintex Task Form to pass the Outcome value in the URL.I did not find a parameter for Outcome, but did see one for "Approver Comments".  When I use the Redirect URL like this:  http://mysite.net/sites/site/Pages/Confirmation.aspx?outcome=Approver Comments  I never get anything passed for the Approver Comments value. This has to be a common need, but all of the examples I have found just redirect to a non-dynamic confirmation page.Can anyone tell me how to pass the Outcome, or the like, in the Redirect URL?  Or, how to get a dynamic confirmation page?Thanks!

I have a Yes No Control Box that looks like this:I want it to look like this:I have read how to wrap text on an expression control as well as trying what was discussed in Choice control formatting in Nintex Forms. Neither of these are working. I am using Nintex Forms for Office 365, App Version NFO 1.2.3.0 .Any ideas how to make this work? Thanks.

How can i get the value from a field type user from Form . to assign it a task

In Nintex form, we can use Rules to disable or hide the component or use Appearance to visible or enabled the component. Since both method are providing the same feature, I would like to know what's the best practice using them?As I found that we can apply the same rule to different control, is it better to control the all component by using rules instead of appearance?

When I tried to modify an existing workflow and publish, an error message prompted up, and I could not understand where the problem was, can anyone help?

I have the following requirement:If the user selects a "Due Date" of TODAY and the current time is after 3pm, we should prompt the user that the request will not be processed until tomorrow.  The user should still be able to submit the request.I'm having a problem understanding how to do real-time validation on Nintex Forms so that I can prompt a user as they are entering in data.  I have tried using calculated value controls so I can use those values in formatting rules but it doesn't seem as though the function dateDiffMinutes(Current Time,"15:00:00") doesn't work in a Calculated Control.  In validation rules, the fn-dateDiffMinutes function does work.Ideally, I would be able to write a formatting rule that would display a message on the form only if today's date is today and time time is after 3pm.Any ideas on how to accomplish this in Nintex forms?  Will it require Javascript?

How to populate a form with a grid or table from DB, so as to display a content of this table on the first screen on Nintex form.

Hi all,In our workflow there is a point where tasks need to be created and assigned manually. I can not think of a way to automate this as the task will change from item to item.So what I have is the belowStandard list call "RFC"Task list called "RFCA Tasks"What I am trying to achieveIn a list view control on the RFC form, click the Add new item link and create a task in the RFCA tasks list. In doing this I need it to set the value of the "Related RFC Number" field in the new task from the RFC so that I can filter the list view control.I hope this makes sense. I have some screen shots below that should hopefully help to clear any confusion.List view control on the RFC formRelated RFC number field on the RFCA Tasks formAny help is appreciated.Thank you.

Hi everyone,I have a workflow that includes a "set permission" action which changes the permission of the person who filled out a form. The username is picked up from the "Created By" field. I use this system generated field rather than a people picker field on the form, because it guarantees that it's the same user which submitted the form.There's a scenario where the following occurs:1. An employee fills out the form2. The employee leaves the company3. The AD account is deleted4. The workflow reaches the "set permission" after point 3 above5. The workflow tries to set permission on an AD user that does not exist, so it errors out.Is this a bug in Nintex workflows or is that normal behaviour for it? I've tried this on Workflows 2013 and Workflows 2007 with the same issue.Shouldn't the set permissions task skip an AD user account if it can't resolve it?I've been advised that:a. I must use the "Created By" fieldb. The AD accounts on ex-employees must be deleted.Any help would be most ap

I am new for sharepoint nintex workflow, I would like to know if it is possible to assign task to distribution list and if yes is it possible to get the name of the person who has accepted the flexi task, as this information i would be needing ahead in the workflow.I have found in some article that this is not possible, we are using nintex workflow 2013 on-premise

In NWC , it appears that all users with Designer rights have access to edit all workflows in the tenant and use all connections created by other users as well.  What are the plans to allow more granular permissions?  In the future, will the following be possible:A workflow designer should be able to specify which other users could edit or publish that workflowThe creator of a connection be able to specify which users may use that connection.

Is there a solution for workflow errors that occur when a send message action can't be completed because the person adressed has resigned from the company and the user account has been deleted from the AD? For instance, in our organization we have workflows that run for longer periods of time (9 to 12 months) and that send a confirmation message when all actions have been completed. If one of the addressed users (4 in total) has left the organization in the meantime, the workflow will error on this step and has to be terminated. This actually happens a lot! Tasks can be delegated so the workflow can continue. It seems like such a waste to have an almost completed workflow error on the very last step of sending out a confirmation message. Does anybody have a solution to this? Maybe a run if action that will only send the message to active users? (I don't quite know how to go about configuring this.) Or does Nintex somehow offer the option to not error the workflow when a send message ac

I want to configure a redirect page after user delegates task. Currently users are redirected to home page but I want to change this.

Help pleaseI have a user who currently has 100+ pending tasks from different workflows, I want to delegate these tasks to another user to action. The manual process of opening each task form and clicking the delegation link is too tedious and time consuming.
