Can someone please share the thoughts, whether it would be possible to make a Nintex form available offline for users of mobile devices.Nintex Mobile is not an option as its design and style cannot be adapted and changed. I thought of somehow storing the form as .xml and calling it afterwards, however I'm not sure if the Form can somehow be saved as XML, somewhere in device.

I have recently upgraded to forms version 2.6.0.0 and it appears that when I have a rule to disable a panel the controls inside the panel are left enabled. I am sure the previous version disabled all the controls inside the panel.  Is that correct? Is anyone else experiencing this?

Is there any way to check if a user entered a past date?    I tried using the dateDiffDays function but it seems to always return a positive number regardless of the position of the arguments.I am using Version: 2.8.1.0 of the designer.

 Symptoms When deployment, received smartobject associate error:"Inconsistency detected between SmartObject '' and Service Object '' during loading of SmartObject Definition. Property: '' not found in Service Object '' Definition." Diagnoses N/A Resolution Check target environment's database table associated with that SmartObject, and make sure the property is there. If not, add the property to that table, refresh the Service Instance, and try deploying the package again. 

Is there a reason that Nintex creates its databases with a different Collation from SharePoint when it is installed on SharePoint? Is there a way to change the Collation once the DB's are created? Is there a way to specify the Collation when creating the DB's? I'm new to Nintex.

I can't get a validation rule to run on a form I am working on. There is a javascript error being shown in the Javascript console, but I am not running any javascript on the form. I do have about 40 formatting rules and they seem to work, but when I add a validation rule and it is supposed to be evaluated I getThe validation rule is simple. All I am donig for this one is isNullorEmpty({Self}) on a text box. but because of the javascript error it is not fireing.I read about the latest issue with list item forms not firing validation because the validation needs to be on the content type form, but I am not sure that applies here. I am running version 9.2.20 and the list doesn't allow management of content types.Any help on this would be much appreciated. Also please let me know if you think I should try opening a support case.Thanks, Berney

so I have a listview in my nintex form, when I try to filter the list view based on a value for a lookup column... it doesn't work! however, when I try to filter for another column it works perfectly. Why is that? First try, didn't work Listview > filtering: filter listed item: mylist where field: lookup_column filtered by value: 123123 Second try, worked Listview > filtering: filter listed item: mylist where field: column filtered by value: abcd How can I filter a list based on a lookup column?

Hi All,We are trying to setup Nintex Live on a 2013 farm and seem to having a few issues. The administrator has followed the setup instructions however it still appears greyed out in forms designer and workflow designer. In central admin the Nintex Live connection test fails and in the event logs I see this error:There was no endpoint listening at https://live.nintex.com/Gateway/ProviderHandler.svc/V20110930/ that could accept the messageThere is a lot more to the error and I can post it if it helps but that seemed to be the crux of it..I have checked access to all the URLs listed in the setup guide, there was one that I couldn't access:https://nintexlive.blob.core.windows.net/serviceiconDoes anyone have any ideas?

Hi All,I'm trying put a solution together were we use an external list to present sql data.It only needs to display this item information. I tried to create the external content type with a read list and read item operations.Then I created the external list. However when I go to customise the form it shows no controls on the page. I created a new external content type with all the operations then created an external list.I edited the Nintex form and it displayed all the columns. So first question is what are the minimum requirements for being able to customise an external list with Nintex forms.The Nintex form 2013 user manual is very lacking in detail in this area. Part 2)My next thing I wanted to add a standard list view web part on the site home page to the external list, then connect it to a Nintex form list web part to display the form item. However I am receiving errors when trying this.Has anyone else had some experience with this issue?

When I tried to delete a workflow there was an error...At first I noticed there were a few orphaned workflow instances and after cleaning those items up I tried to delete the workflow again.The same message appears...Upon some more investigation using SharePoint Designer I noticed the workflow is actually not in the the site. It appears it was actually delete but, still appearing in the list of active workflows. Also, I when I run the Finding all of the workflows in your farm using PowerShell​ I noticed the workflow appears 2 times. So my questions:1. How do I permanently delete the workflow record?2. Why does it show 2 records for the same workflow? It has duplicated records for some workflows.Thanks in advance for your advice!

I have a list with an external data column. How can I update or insert a value with workflow 2010.

I have approval workflows dating back to 2011. How do I stop them?

Hello,With window.print () command I can only print forms (Nintex Forms 2010) that fit on at one page. What should be done to print higher forms (15000px x 1000px) without change the print scale or the size of the paper ? sds

I've built a Nintex Mobile Form in a SharePoint 2013 Server on-prem environment. On this form I have a look up field which references a list of contractors. This list has over 700 contractors from around the country.The issue we are running into is that the lookup control on the mobile form cuts off at 500 items. The SharePoint form shows the full list.Is there a way to increase this threshold or is it a limitation of the Nintex Mobile platform?

i am trying to set up a workflow to push reminders out for specific dates for thing that people need to complete, reminders for specific legal filings which are then due say yearly, every 3 years, etc. and reminders at 6 months before, 3 months before, etc.  i am very new to working with nintex and i set up a "reminder" workflow but it didn't seem to send the reminder, can someone help me try to figure out to effectively do this?

I have a workflow that requests manager approval (flexi task), then uses 'Set Field Value' action to write 'approved' or 'rejected' in a field.  The workflow is completing successfully, however, it only occasionally actually writes 'approved' or 'rejected' in the list field.  Often it leaves it blank.  At the very end of the workflow process, I set item permissions to read only for everyone except site owners.I have given all domain users contribute permission on the Workflow Tasks' list (the manager approval link did not function before this).Domain Users (everyone) also has contribute permission on the list that the workflow is attached to.When we tested this it worked fine, but now that it's live, we often get completed workflows, but the set field value fields are blank.  I added a Pause action after the set field value to see if the set item permission was completing (and thus restricting write permission) before the set field value action completed.I also set item permissions wit

I am using a WF to take a custom form and convert it into a Word document using a Word template with content controls.  Then, I convert the Word doc to a PDF (both of which are saved in a SharePoint library).  At the end of the WF, there is a delete item action to remove the Word document from the library and leave only the PDF.Both documents are created, but the delete action causes an error and does not delete the Word doc.  Seems to be a permission issue, but I am a Site Owner with Full Control.  Any ideas on how to get the delete action working?

I am using WF to take a list item from a custom list and create a Word document (using content controls).  Then, I convert the Word doc to a PDF and save it to a Document Library, along with any attachments to the list item.  Also, I then update some fields for the newly added docs in the library.All this is working great except that I get errors when the WF tries to update the PDF document properties.  The attachments are generated, renamed, and added to doc library fine, and all their properties are updated via Update Item with no issues.Then, I go to update the properties of the PDF form that was added, and I get an error and fields remain blank.  You can see ItemID below is filled in for attachments, but not for the PDFs / forms.In my failing Update Item action, I have set URL Path to the same variable that is used when creating the PDF in the doc library.  In my log, I can see and verify that this URL is correct, and if I paste it into a new browser window, it even opens the docum

Hey all! I am using Nintex Workflow 2013 and SharePoint 2013. I want to send an email notification the 13th of every month. How do I do that? I am sure others may need this same capability but the day may be different.Thanks!

Hello. I have a workflow setup, in SP13, that moves from one list to another based off of selection factors. A problem I am running into is that sometimes he end user will use the bulk edit function to save time. This is causing some data integrity issues from time to time by not transferring some data to the other list. I thought I could use a pause action but not sure how this would work with the bulk edit. Any insight from anyone? Thanks
