Hi,We need to provide a pop up when a user Approves / Rejects on a Nintex task form. The problem we have we are not able to read the value of the decision radio buttons.Any ideas on what we can do????

 Symptoms K2 Management truncates leading zeros of data field values when new instances are created Diagnoses - create a workflow with a data field of type string (string, not number!)- launch an instance with K2 Management and enter the value "005" into the data field=> K2 Management tries to be clever and truncates the value to "5" which is then passed to the data field- do the same with workspace=> works and the data field has the original value of "005"00Seems that K2 Management ignores the data type of the process data field and converts values to numbers if the value looks like a number. So 005 becomes 5 whereas 05 remains 05 if done from workspace. Resolution Please contact K2 support to obtain our latest CU to help resolve the issue here. 

HelloI want to update a workflow in Nintex 2013 and I notice that most of the "runif" actions are empty and that the flexi task forms are not  accessible (nothing opens). Also my e-mail notifications are empty. The strange thing is that the workflow is still running correctly as always. Anyone has any experience with this? Best RegardsThomas De schryver

 Symptoms Worklist items stopped by browser popup blocker in 4.7 Diagnoses There is a change in behaviour that causes the browser pop up blocker to kick in when attempting to open up items from the work list this was not the case under 4.6.11. This can be worked around by instructing users to add the application to the browser?s trusted sites list but this is not ideal, is there a way to resolve this ? Resolution Please do the following:Inside Internet Explorer > Internet Options > Privacy > Pop-up Blocker > SettingsYou can also apply this via a group policy so that it can be applied to all users on the domain.  

 Symptoms Issue:The client was unable to open a viewflow from a List view. Diagnoses Diagnosis:We found that some of the urls used in the production environment was pointing to an inaccessible url and the user were unable to connect to any forms or views. Resolution ResolutionIn the meeting, we found that some of the claims table values were pointing to the incorrect urls and was redirecting the client to an STS page that was not accessible from their side.We firstly needed to rectify the windows sts claims url in theClaim Issuer table as the windows sts RI was pointing to an invalid url.We then rectified the urls in the Claim Audience table as the view flow urls were incorrect.We had to add an entry in the claim realm table to link the windows sts to the correct real.We then Rectified the entries in the Claim Realm table as the view flow url was incorrect.We also needed to change the view flow redirect in the web.config of the view flow directory.We then lastly rectified the way the u

I have been attempting to test the Nintex Workflow 2013 live catalog action - Office 365 Upload File and I was wondering if anyone has run into the same issue I am having. When the workflow triggers this action the file uploads just fine to SharePoint Online to the site and document library I specified. However, the action hangs and never moves forward after the file has uploaded. I have to manually terminate the workflow. Anyone else run into this problem? Looking at the action history it keeps uploading over and over but I have no loop just the action by itself

HiWhere do I find all the work arounds (with examples) for the unsupported actions and functions in 365? Actions we use on-premises that require work arounds:Call web serviceExecute SQLQuery LDAPQuery XMLWeb RequestCopy itemCreate item in another siteDelete multiple itemsSet Item permissionsAction SetCommit pending changesFor eachBuild stringCollection operationRetrieve dataStart workflowStore dataAssign to-do taskRequest approval

In preparation for going to 365 from on premises, I'd like to get a count of all workflow action types, so that I know how many updates/replacements need to take place. Is there a way to do this?

Scenario:A user publishes a news article. This article needs to be reviewed and approved/rejected by a committee before displaying it on a site. He can edit the article while it is pending for review or even after it is approved/rejected.the user can edit the article at any given time, even if it is being reviewed. Approach: Trigger a Nintex workflow as soon as the user publishes an article. That workflow goes to a committee who reviews it and it approves. As they approve, the article is visible to everyone.Problem: The article is approved by the committee and is displayed on the site. The user makes some changes and publishes it again. Now we need to get it approved again. Can we restart the already completed workflow for the current article?(We should not  trigger a new workflow every time a user hits publish as he may make numerous edits/spelling changes for which he needs to unpublish, edit and publish again.)

I have a SharePoint Leave Request Calendar. I wish to color the events based on approval status. Yellow pending approval, green approved, and either remove event if rejected or show as red. How can I change Display Color using Nintex Workflows

I am using UserGroup.asmx (GetGroupCollectionFromWeb and GetUserCollectionFromGroup methods) to gather information about users and groups.  Currently I'm running this at the site level for each site.  I'd like to be able to run it as the site collection level, querying each of the subsites.I saw how to do this with a Query List action.  Is it possible with a Call Web Service action? Thank you.Wendy

Hi,My company is at the point of having to make a decision regarding the design of our content databases architecture for Nintex Workflows and Forms, and we are analyzing the 1 to 1 content database for creating one Nintex database dedicated to each one of our content DBs in SharePoint.As we have over 25 SharePoint content databases we are also considering having fewer Nintex content DBs and assign a few (3 to 5 perhaps) SP content DBs to a single Nintex content DB.Our big question for the second scenario is, what would happened if one of the site collections starts to significantly increment the amount and size of its Workflows? Once all the mapping is done, what would be our options for solving this?If this scenario happens, can we re-map two or more Nintex DBs to one SharePoint content DB?I’ve been looking at the InstallGuide and DatabaseDesing documentation but I can’t find anything that completely solve this for us.How would this scenario workout so that we can take the best decis

 Symptoms When using non-'Integrated Security' in PandD MMC and entering an invalid account (this occurs for the SQLUM label as well as when specifying a non-existent AD account), it does not validate the account when clicking 'OK' allowing for the clicking of the 'Create New Package' option and resulting in a 'Primary Credentials Not Authenticated. Session Not Authenticated.' error. When using a valid account everything works as designed. Diagnoses Behavior was reproducible and is a usability bug. Resolution A feature request was logged to validate the credential entered when clicking the 'OK' button during the PandD MMC 'Add new server'/'Edit Server' wizard such that the error should be thrown during this step if an invalid credential was entered.Please ensure that a valid account and password is entered to avoid error. 

When running Nintex Mobile offline, is there a way to save the completed form as a PDF on the mobile device? This is available via desktop using Forms Enterprise but I haven't found a way to make this work via mobile device.I know this can be done through the workflow, but as the users will be offline I need a solution through the Nintex Mobile app that doesn't rely on workflow running.The point of this is so that users working in the field are able to complete a form and then save it to a pdf on the device. They would then use AirDrop to transfer the pdf to another user's device. The form would still be submitted once the user is back online.

Does anyone have a working example of a nested lookup in forms? The documentation says its possible but provides no examples.Below are the 2 lookups that I need to nest:lookup("Regional Media Radio CPP", "Active", true , "30 Rec AMDRV")lookup("Regional Media Radio CPP", "Market", Market , "30 Rec AMDRV", true)This is what I have tried:lookup(lookup("Regional Media Radio CPP", "Market", Market , "30 Rec AMDRV", true), "Active", true , "30 Rec AMDRV")Any assistance would be greatly appreciated

I am a total "newbie" and can't seem to find the answer to what I think is a fairly common workflow:2 approvers - both independent of one another's response (does not matter if one approves and one rejects- both approve, etc.)I am trying to create a workflow 1.  start from initiator and go to approver #1.  2.  if approver rejects, it goes back to initiator for revision  3.  the revision is then sent back to the approver for final approval  4.  approver approves - workflow ends.So far, this is what I have:  I'm stuck on what to do next.  Would appreciate any help!  

Hi,I have built a workflow that can be a bit of a long process and uses quite a few tasks.As it is a long process, I built into the workflow that it can skip past certain steps if they have already been completed.  This was so that if errors were ever encountered, the workflow could be restarted and would "catch up" to where it was up to.This works for the most part but the trouble is all previous tasks associated with workflow are deleted.  But the existence of those tasks is important to proving that the form had progressed up to the point when it needed to be cancelled and restarted.Is there a way to cancel a workflow, but keep all of the tasks?ThanksRyan

 Symptoms All users receiving the following pop up when they accessing forms for the first time:?We must create a token on behalf ? click here. Once the token is successfully created, click OK to refresh this page?As this pop up is not localized majority of user base not sure how to react what to do with it - they need this pop up translated into local language. Diagnoses The behavior that you are seeing is by design due to the token having to be created for the active users session. Unfortunately this means that there is not an out of the box method of allowing the token to be created on the clients behalf in the background, the clients will have to create the token via the popup in order to proceed to the form.To avoid confusion caused by non-localized message you can translate it using the following steps:create a copy of the following resource files:C:Program Files (x86)K2 blackpearlK2 smartforms DesignerApp_GlobalresourcesExceptionHandler.resxC:Program Files (x86)K2 blackpearlK2 s

 Symptoms I?m facing a strange behavior when users of my application activate out of office from the worklist control (4.6.11).The out of office seems to be activated (I can see the line in the workspace, and the user who should receive the tasks), but the destination user don?t see the tasks (in the application and in the worklist of the workspace).If I remove the out of office from the workspace and I create again directly in the workspace, now the destination user can see the task of the out of office user. Diagnoses This issue was linked to the US date format manage by default by K2, but not compatible with UK and French date format.The issue appeared when you clicked on the button "OK" in the Out of office management of the Smartform control "WorkList". No issue if you do this out of office from the workspace.If the date of this action was an ambigus date between month and day, the issue appeared.Example:If we clicked on button OK the 12 June, really the system created the out of

HiI want a drop down list of employees filtered on both the Department and the Crew within that department as per the table below. As Form List Lookup controls only provide the ability to filter on one control value, is there a way to filter on both the previous control values?I tried creating a view and wanted to build the 'Source view' name from the values selected in the two previous fields (e.g. ProductionBilby via Item Properties), but that doesn't seem to work.    DepartmentCrewEmployeeProductionBilbyBilbyProductionEmployeeProductionDingoDingoProductionEmployeeProductionDragonDragonProductionEmployeeProductionGeckoGeckoProductionEmployeeWorkshopBilbyBilbyWorkshopEmployeeWorkshopDingoDingoWorkshopEmployeeWorkshopDragonDragonWorkshopEmployeeWorkshopGeckoGeckoWorkshopEmployeeDrillBilbyBilbyDrillBlastEmployeeDrillDingoDingoDrillBlastEmployeeDrillDragonDragonDrillBlastEmployeeDrillGeckoGeckoDrillBlastEmployee
