Hi,How can I copy submitting list form field values to word document and send it to another individual through workflow?Thanks,Chaithra
Users want wiki pages and documents to be reviewed by content authors based on modified date and usage.Similar to document review workflow but based on hits.
Hello,I finally got into publishing some mobile forms. I was wondering if there's a comprehensive list of html tags/css which will work. It would be nice to be able to apply a custom look and feel but it seems to be a bit of a hit & miss for me right now.example: <h1></h1> works <br/> does not styling in form settings and such (color) doesn't seem to work for me either.Is this by design? Is styling stripped to conform to the application/native OS look and feel?Thank you,
I expect Reminder Notifications (flexi task) Â to be sent when an item is over due; they are being sent the day after the workflow starts, even though the due date is not for another week.Is this standard? Â Assign to do reminders are sent after the due date.

I've added a list view control (for the first time!) to side of my form. I'm showing all values of the list view. However, I just want it to be informational. It's not a big issue, but I would like to hide the 'Add new item' link--especially when in new or edit mode of the actual form in which this list view appears. I was able to <F12> it in IE11 to determine its class, td.ms-addnew. In F12 mode I was able to add display: none and successfully hid it. But, I attempted to apply this to the CSS Class field in the list view control settings panel with no luck.   I've used: .td.ms-addnew {   display: none !important;  }With no luck. As a noob to the CSS class field, I'm not sure I am using the correct format. Any suggestions?
 Symptoms Have a SmartObject that is associated with the Document Sets in a document library in SharePoint. I am populating a list box control on a SmartForm with the 'Name' value from the list of Document Sets. Upon testing I realized that the list box was only returning 50 of 170+ document set names in the list box. I get the same result in the SmartObject Tester.Is there a default limit on the list box? Or why am I only able to return 50 items? Diagnoses Need to update the SharePoint Service Instance Throttling to be more than 50+. Since it is a SP 2013 service instance, the change needs to be done thru the Workspace - Service Instance section.Here is a link on How to update the Service Instance: http://help.k2.com/onlinehelp/k2forsharepoint/userguide/1.0.1/default.htm#build_integrate/the_sharepoint_2013_service_brokers/sharepoint_2013_broker.htmReceived error when updating the throttling using service instance, error "Cannot contact site at the specified URL https://spapp-1378e01b9

For instance, i recently created a form with two views, on view lists all users from A/D and when you click any of them the secod view displays all the groups they are a member of.

Hi I need to set up a workflow condition that decides which branch of the workflow has to be followed, based on the time that a specific action has been executed.E.g. my workflow starts when a new item in a SharePoint list has created. I want a condition that sais that if the creation date happens before or equals then 10:00 AM, certain actions will follow, otherwise the workflow will take a different path.My problem is that I don't manage to set a variable that calculates each time "current date" 10:00 AM

Hello!Let's talk about Nintex Mobile. Specifically, let's talk about the task sort in the system. You have a few choices:Created DateDue DateInitiatorNameWorkflow NameIn this situation, I'm using the Name sort. Here is how my data appears:Test 39.81-39.89 T_RHRATest 39.81-39.89 T_RSITest 160.45-160.52 R_RHRATest 25.30-25.36 R_RSITest 55.32-55.62 L_RHRAIf it had been 160, 25, 39, 55, I would have written it off as just "one of those things" but nope it seems to think that this is the right order. There are no spacing differences, the word is the same every time at the front.My secondary issue for my client is (and I will submit this via User Voice) is that they want to sort by another column that comes with the data. But that's an aside.So I guess my question is: does everyone run into this same sort issue? Have you run into other issues? Does anyone see a pattern in here that would sort it in this way?Cheers,Rhia
I created a basic workflow to extract the data in a repeating section. However, every time I run it, the loop gets skipped over. Here's what it looks like:I've confirmed that the variables within the loop have proper values. In this case numItems = 3 and numIndex = 1.No errors come up during the process. At the end, it looks like the workflow has completed. However, it has skipped over the loop entirely. Has anyone else encountered this? Please let me know. Thanks!
 Symptoms 1. Does K2 BlackPearl support Salesforce ?Partner WSDL??2. If so, are there any specific configurations to be done while generating service instance for Partner WDSL that is different from Enterprise WSDL? Diagnoses n/a Resolution We do not support the Partner WSDL. We have only ever tested against the Enterprise WSDL, and thus that is what is supported.Please be aware that we are working on a new SalesForce broker, that will be entirely REST based, which might make this debate a moot point.Â

Hi all. I have a list and a Nintex List Item Form (2013). In the list there is a column named "Days Requested" (DisplayName) which contains comma-valued numbers 1.5, 2.0 etc.I want to use the lookup function to sum the already submitted items so I have a formula control and doSum(lookup("MyList","Author",Current User,"Days Requested",true))This always gives me 0I have tried the same with the intDaysRequested (Internal Name) instead of the Display Name, still 0I am using the International version with a german browser.I will mention that if I use a Lookup Control on the form with the same data and field internal name I get the values I need (but of course not the sum)Any ideas why it doesn't work in the formula?Thanks and Cheers
I have created a SharePoint List with a Nintex Form requiring several attachments of a sensitive nature to be included, some for our credit team and some for our logistics team.  Each team's respective forms I have included within a separate Nintex Form panel and attachment control, allowing me to create a rule for restricting attachment visibility by team in the desktop view.  The workflow then creates a task for each team.  At this point I am having two issues.1. If a user views the task on a mobile devise within Nintex Mobile, all attachments visible, despite the rule to hide.  It is not required for either team to be able to view their attachments within Nintex Mobile, if there is a way to restrict the visibility of all attachments or restrict these teams from being able to use Nintex Mobile, I would be able to meet my IT security requirements.  This issue must be resolved or my pilot project will not be able to move forward.  2. I cannot make attachments visible on the task form;
Hi everybody,I'm, experience an annoying issue with terminating workflow instances by WebService.This is my scenario: it should be possible for users to push a button in my Nintex Form to cancel all running instances of two workflows for the current list item. I realized this with a site workflow that get's started by webservice-call via click on the button. This works well, both running workflow instances are terminated on the list item. I realized it with this:The webservice-actions are configured like this (example for the bottom-action):So for the following example, if the site workflow to terminate the running listitem-workflows is executed again, now for every workflow ever executed (not only the currently running) on this listitem, the notification-email is sent again, 9 times (4 on Request, 5 on Internal approval)!Is this a bug by Nintex, a creepy design-feature or a misconfiguration on my action? And what can I do to ensure only notifications for the two running workflows will

Grabbing the SharePoint group using the Context Browser and grabbing from the following path:SharePoint Users--> site name -->People and Groups -->Groups --> group nameWhere the SP group contains 1 user, but task is not getting created for that user.

HiWhen clicking on the title link in chrome, the associated Nintex form opens in view mode. When I do the same using IE, the form opens in edit mode. Is this some kind of default setting in each of the browsers?ThanksJoanne
