Hi there!I have five Workflows. Every Workflow stores a "comment" in a SharePoint List.How can I send these comments (1 to 5 ) in a Mail Notification?

Hi guys,Have a weird issue here. I tried recreating the controls and everything but still seeing the same behaviour.I have four controls inside a panel. They are in a row spanned width-wise across the page.Based on some criteria, i will sometimes hide the last control (an end date).Whenever I do this, the vertical spacing on my form gets messed up and the labels will overlap their controls suddenly.What is going on?thanks

Greetings all, I am looking for some information I can delv into to accomplish a specific task. On my Nintex form I have a field that is currently set as a multiline field. This would cause my users to input a line hit enter add a line hit enter, ect..I am wondering if there is something that can guide me or assist me to be able to put that field as a single line text and use a "add" button at the end of the field to add the input to the form and for each consecutive add it would addendum the information. So when the user is done adding multiple entries it shows what has been entered and then submits it with the form. Hope I explained that correctly....Thanks,Pete

HiI have done 2 updates to the latest Jan 2016 version of Forms and Workflow.  One went through without incident - probably 20 minutes overalll - on our local dev server.The other, at a client, took forever.  In fact the GUI installer never finished - I killed the task after 14 hours.I then ran the installation again with the PowerShell scripts and it did eventually finish, but still took an enormously long time.  I could not time the finish, but it was more than 4.5 hours.Unfortunately, I could not find anything that showed me what it was doing whilst it was 'busy', but from the script output, I can see some indications of which stages took so long.Note that the start time here was around 11:45 am.Detected SharePoint 2013 is installedStopping Live Relay on server XXXXXX-SPAP.Stopping Live Relay on server XXXXXX-SPFE.Resetting Server(s):        XXXXXX-SPAP        XXXXXX-SPFEStopping Timer service on server XXXXXX-SPAP.Starting Timer service on server XXXXXX-SPAP.Stopping Timer service

When crafting a notification email, one of the fields I'm using is the "Created By" field, and in the actual email it doesn't show as the person's name, it shows as i:0#.w|domainsmithm1  instead of "Mark Smith".Hopefully this is an easy fix?

Trying to get off of Sharepoint notification emails to have a little more granular control.I have a small workflow sending me notifications when a new item is added to my list.  Works great!I also have a separate small workflow sending me notifications when an item gets modified.  Not so great.As soon as an item gets added, it's modified by the main workflow, and I get two notifications : "Item X has been added" and then immediately I get "Item X has been modified".Whenever someone makes a change, I get a notification "Item X has been modified".That change triggers my main workflow to update the item and I get another notification "Item X has been modified".So I'm getting two notifications for every added item and two for every change.  How are you all handling this?  Any ideas to get less notifications?  I'm familiar with getting the notification summary, and that doesn't really work for me.

Symptoms  When transferring data to or mapping a SmartObject output on View initialize to a Picker control that is mapped to the 'Sharepoint Integration People Picker Source' andgt Search method it errors with:   Thread 1: Exception from HRESULT: 0x80131904 Type: SourceCode.SmartObjects.Client.SmartObjectException   Due to the lookup column limit, the user is stored in a text field column in sharepoint and rendered using a Picker control against the 'Sharepoint Integration People Picker Source' SmartObject.  Diagnoses  This is a limitation between SharePoint and K2 with how K2 handles SharePoint's User ID columns.   Resolution As a workaround, the following was implemented:   1. Mimicking how a Picker control would be generated against a 'Person or Group' type column in Sharepoint, the 'Value' that it would store would be in the format 'AAD:administrator@denalix.onmicrosoft.com'. Generated ootb, the Picker control would also filter using the Name, DisplayName and Email field.   2. Pass

HiI have an issue with list lookup if the form is in Display mode.The form contains some list lookups to another list. The lookup field is set to check a specific view in the source list and filter on a specific value to only return these data to the dropdown.The unfiltered view in the source list contains currently 700 items, the view displays all items at once. This is on-prem version.The issue is that when opening a form item in View Mode, it is not always able to load the lookup data. For some seconds I see 'Loading...' then it stays blank. When changing to Edit mode it is working, the selections are loading fine.I have found out that the issue starts appearing for items where the lookup needs to retrieve data beyond approx item#500 in the source list. For testing I've applied a filter to the source list view to get below 500 items, and this resolves the issue.So, to me it looks as if there is a threshold for display mode? Is that something that can be changed? Or is there another

I have a problem that was not there before installing the latest updates as I remember.I have a form with a List Lookup control that works fine until the selected lookup value gets deleted from the lookup list. The old behavior was displaying the text stored with the value (ID;#TEXT), SharePoint behavior is displaying nothing which is fine, but now the form is redirecting to the error page with "System.ArgumentException: Item does not exist. It may have been deleted by another user."Any idea how to solve this issue?

In Nintex forms I would like to create a key/value relation. By Javascript I would like to store the key (e.g. with an attribute) and try to ask for this value by an if condition. (The value is the text of the TextBox). Always when the key has changed (condition), then the value should Change.I tried it with this JavaScript function:function lookupInTextField (key, value,  js_Text_ID){      if (NWF$('#'+ js_Text_ID).attr("placeholder") != key )      {             NWF$('#'+ js_Text_ID).val(value);           NWF$('#'+ js_Text_ID).attr("placeholder", key);           alert ("Key-Attribute: " + NWF$('#'+ js_Text_ID).attr("placeholder"));      }}Unfortunately the alert-Output is always "Key-Attribute: undefined". Can somebody please give me a hint what I am doing wrong. Somehow it does not work with the placeholder Attribute of the "single line TextBox" control in Nintex forms.I Trigger this function with the "Calculated fields" control. So far so good.Does anybody know how to store the key

All,Slowly but surely learning Nintex forms and Nitex workflow.I have a site workflow. The workflow is going to have to be scheduled.It's first action is to query a list and collect various other fields:I have a For Each loopWith 2 collection operations:The end of my workflow has a send notification action.The send notification sends an email to a named individual, yet how or where do I add another query list (?) or another action to specify that within the email I only want to show items which the named individual is named in the To field andnot all list items which was originally queried.The named individual isn't necessarily known until the list has been queried, so I can't filter on the first list query.ThanksAndrew

Hi folks!I am trying to figure something out and I have a feeling I am looking past something very simple, and so, I bring it to you: the community.I have a large checklist.Each checkbox has a validation on it - ie, "Disabled if X application is not required".Or "Disabled if X was not requested."What I'd like to do is have a message - "The checklist is not yet complete." - that is replaced with "The checklist is now complete!" when the checklist is (surprise) complete.  (Or, hiding the submit button and only allowing the save button until the checklist is complete.)This is a checklist that the user will be coming in and out of until finished.I suppose my question is: is there a way to say "check to see if all VALID checkboxes are checked"?Note that this is valid checkboxes, not required checkboxes -- none of these are required; the workflow just won't move on until all checkboxes are checked.I also considered just switching over a message once the WF moves on, but, this is something wh

Is there a way to get the titles of the headings in a state machine workflow to wrap. Currently mine look like thisThis example shows titles that have been wrapped.I would like these to wrap so I can see what each state is so I can make certain they are in the correct order in my workflow.Thanks.

Hi there, I'm trying to create some device layouts using Nintex Forms for the flexi task form so users can access them from their mobile device. What I've noticed however is that when clicking the link from the email (using the ootb Nintex ApprovalURL common workflow variable), it navigates to the default SharePoint mobile edit task form first, as in the image below with this URL: https://<site url>/_layouts/15/mobile/editforma.aspx?List=<list id>&ID=<id>When clicking cancel from this view , it navigates to the custom Nintex Form, with this URL: https://<site url>/_layouts/15//NintexForms/mobile/editform.aspx?List=<list id>&View=<view id>&ID=<id> Is there a way to get the link in the workflow email to link directly to the custom Nintex form for the approval task?

First, I wanted to mention that I am a complete novice with Nintex and this project was just handed to me.  So forgive my ignorance as this is a high priority (on my end) task.I can create custom lists and forms and they work great, but I now need to create a form that uses a POST method that sends to an external link.  I found the Web Request action and have been trying that (and googling til my fingers bled) but not quite sure where to put my <input id> information.  Do those go in the Headers?Very confused on how to use a Post method using Nintex.Please help!

Hi,I have a scenario as below -"Lets user opened word document to modify it in SharePoint 2010, using 'Edit in Microsoft word' and he checks out the document using Check out option in word document ribbon.

Hi Everyone,I have a workflow that will query all events in a specific date span. for example from 04/05/2017 to 04/15/2017 and all of the events scheduled between those dates will be queried. I successfully did this but I notice that if an event is set to a recurring event the query will ignore those events. how can I include those recurring events that is in between to the date span I set. I search thru the internet and I saw several blog post that uses CAML editor. But the problem is I don't have enough knowledge to create my own script in CAML. If using a CAML editor is the only option. is there a way to query events from a date range Thursday to Sunday and if there is a recurring events in those range it will also include those recurring events.here is a screenshot of the events calendarQuery List action:Here is a screenshot of my query list and what I would like to be converted to a CAML scriptStart Time UTC >= to StartDate1 && End Time UTC <=EndDate1 in this logic

Hi All,I have a Site WF with an update item action and I want to update a field where the "people and group" column equals a variable that contains also a "people and group" type value. The problem is the WF always run to an error at this point as it cant match the 2 values even if they are the same data type.  I have logged the 2 value to the wf history and it seems to be the same so the system should match them.Example:OHR=     i:0#.w|ad123040387KJOHR= i:0#.w|ad123040387Any idea?
