 Symptoms I have a view that I cannot check in due to Dependency Errors. Nothing on the form points me to a specific issue and I cannot figure out what the dependency error is. Diagnoses This error was due to a Drop Down in the list View which had been changed to a text box control. Drop down controls connected to a Smartobject will add rules to the View in order to work correctly. The issue came from these rules not being deleted when the control is changed. Resolution The issue was resolved by deleting the field in the column and adding a Text Box instead of doing a Change Control for the drop down column. 

I have a workflow that runs when an item is created or modified.  Along the way, I have a condition set for if Version is equal to 1.0, it will go down a branch that sends some tasks.  If version is not 1.0, it will go down a different branch and not send tasks (assuming the item has been modified).  Is this the best way to handle this?Side note : what's a good way to bypass this if I needed to.  For instance, if I have a query that errors out before getting to the Version check, the workflow stops.  When I go to fix it, I can't get the workflow to send the tasks without going in and changing the Version check action, running the flow manually, then changing the Version check back.Thanks!

Hello all,Recently we stumbled upon a strange issue - sometimes submitting a form through a mobile device (iOS) would lose one of the elements in a repeating section. The form is shown below and it is used to add amounts as needed. All amounts are summed in real time on the form. First there's a calculated field within the repeating section (formula is: "If(equals(currency,'BGN'),amount,0)" so that it adds only the chosen currency. And below the repeating section there's another calculated field that sums all corresponding currency fields.So, the form, as seen from the capture, has calculated a larger amount (126230) while the 5 elements actually amount to a total of 105760. There has been a sixth element which is missing (not saved and submitted) but its amount somehow shows in the total.If I open the form in edit mode the formula is being automatically recalculated correctly:So far I have been unable to reproduce this issue (reported by users) - the test forms are always calculated c

I am building a site workflow that will let users subscribe to a mailing list.  Is there anyway to either hide or lessen the visual footprint of the "Working on it"  splash screen that pops up once the user clicks on the button? Its very disruptive to the end user experience.

Morning AllI have a form that requests the person name who is starting the form - IE the "Initiator Name":The actual name of this column in the list is "Initiator Name" & its set up like this:I want to send the Initiator an email notification back when this person chooses between three options:So, when The initiator chooses OTHER i want them to get an email back telling them they chose other & that once they know what the decision is (IE Scrap or Heel) they should update the form to reflect this.I thought the best way to do this would be a flexitask so that i can do a Nintex approval form that links them back to the form with the option to change the status from other to either Heel or to Scrap ( i have this style working well in other areas)However, i cant figure out how to get the initiator name into the "assignee's" box in the configure actions box in the Flextask.When i click on the book i get this page which will allow me to lookup "Initiator Name":But when i add it i get

Good Day my friends,I have a question, I have created 2 sharepoint list, so far I have some items there, now every list has a workflow, is the same workflow but working indivdually for each list, now my question is It would be possible move items from my list A to my list B? I need keep the workflow history log. 

How can I filter a list by date less than or equal to a given date value in nintex forms and output the results to a file ?

Hi All, I have a criteria of workflow ex: There is a Manager level user group who will approve the request and will assign the task to some technicians.I want to know how to take back the task from the technician  back to manager and assign it to someone else. Let i as a manager assigned the flexi task to Mr. X but Mr.X is on leave so it has to be assigned to someone else. How to claim back automatically if some one is on absent.

I have a requirement that for a List Item that:Person A needs to review first and approvePerson B should receive the list item ONLY if Person A approves and should acknowledge receipt once received..(just acknowledge is needed not approval)Person C should receive the list item ONLY if Person A approves and should acknowledge receipt once received..(just acknowledge is needed not approval)Is the Assign Flexi Task what I should use for this requirement ?  Also when I send the request to Person A I was hopeful it was possible to embed all the attachments found within the List item to the approval request.I have been using this for my reference, but it I can not extrapolate the information provided into a solution for the above.  In addition I received some information from a prior post awhile back, but my above scenario is slightly different.Note my administrators have not turned on Lazy Approval in case that makes a difference.

 Symptoms When I open a Runtime Form in our Test Environment it fails because it is trying to go to the Dev Runtime URL. Diagnoses This issue comes up if the Identity.ClaimIssuer table has it's URI column set to an incorrect value. In this case it was due to the URI pointing to the Dev URL. Resolution We brought the server offline so we could update SQL.We updated the Identity.ClaimIssuer table so that the URI was pointing to the Test server. Restarted the server and the issue was resolved. 

I have a workflow that needs to restart if the item is edited. I was wondering if this was possible to do within the workflow or if it was something that needed to be manually done.

 Symptoms  Searching users to assign permission works just fine. When trying to resolve user identity it fails.

Hi,I have a form built in Nintex Forms 2013 for managing Orders.The form contains regular fields along with Repeating Tables.The requiement needed is to be able to produce a kind of "Report" as a text document - Word or Excel Form (using MS office capabilities), containing all the Order's data (including the repeating tables).Input: The form is filled completely by the user and saved to the Orders list (through Nintex Forms).Output needed: Word document (or Excel form) with the Order's data copied automatically from a form-item in the Orders list.One idea i have is using the Quick Parts in Word to create a document template with all the data fields (copied from the Order's item). The problem is with creating the repeating data table.What other ways are there for implementing an automatic solution for the output?Can be using code (Macro/VB), XML, a third-party tool that can interface to Nintex Forms items etc.Any ideas?Thanks,Daniel
