I am new to the workflow process and looking for some pointers or be pointed in the right direction, I have a workFlow but it seems messy. I am used to workflows in Visio where if No then revert back to previous state. I do not seem to be able to do that with what I have. I use the Flexi Task and I want if reject to go back and reassign or continue workflow when accepted. Any thoughts?

Hello Community, I'm having issues with setting up a web request control on my Nintex form.  I have set up a Secure Store Application to use as we want to use Windows Authentication on the control. Every time I test it I get the error message "Please enter the user name with correct format domain/password name". No matter what I've tired I cant get anything in the Test Results.  When on Anonymous I actually get something. I have looked at the information pertaining to the web request control but it only gives an example of if your doing it anonymous so that was of no help.  If anyone has come across this or has information it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for the help.

Hi,We have a company directory that I would like for my Nintex form to pull data from to allow for an easy user experience.  I would like for the data from the company directory to automatically populate when a user accesses the form.Here is a clip of the data that can be found on our directory----is there a way to automatically have the fields on my Nintex form pull & populate from this data source?

I am attempting to improve an existing workflow that isn't working as i want it to. This is the top of the existing form:So as you can see it has three states. First state is "Other" which is basically a pending state. The other two are either "Scrap" or "Heel"What i would ideally like to do is put both a "SUBMIT" & a "PENDING" button into the form. The PENDING button is so that any extra details in any of the other boxes can be uploaded & saved at any point. Some of this extra data will be important information when it comes to making a final decision as to scrap or heel.What i would then like to do is to use the SUBMIT button that then uploads any extra data & then triggers the next part of the workflow. I would also like to send weekly reminders to the initiator (which I intend to add as a box to the form) asking them to chase up the job & get it updated to either scrap or heel.Ideally the pending button should only be usable if the "Other" box is selected. Should th

This is driving me crazy. Every time I finish an approval action it copies everything over to the next... I change the other one again and it clones to the other... I cannot find any "instance" option or anything like that. Am I missing something?

 Symptoms Process with time delay unable to start in 4.7 Diagnoses "start rule properties on an activity."You have an issue around process start, or rather the lack thereof. If a start time delay is added then the process will not start, however, if no delay is set then it works fine.Is there a reason why this is happening ? Resolution Please do apply the latest CU to your environment. This should resolve the errors that are pertaining here. You will need to contact K2 support to obtain this.  

 Symptoms Slow authentication performance Diagnoses When you have performance issues during authenticating against smartform. The Smartforms are running fast, but authentication (redirect to [...]Identity/sts/Windows/wsfed?wa=wsignin1.0) after entering user name and password is very slow.Is there a reason why this is happening? Resolution The authentication protocols when going into smart should take less than 40's and this is the expected behaviour at this current time.  

I'm new to the sharepoint nintex workflow environment so I am not very familiar with some of the features. I have a project that will get all the events that will happen on that week and send it to email notification. My problem is one of the requirements is the weekdays should be separated to the weekends event.What I did is:1. Calculate date - to get the span of the date that is needed to be extracted and store it in a variable "EndDate(Date)"2. Query list - to query on the list and store it into a variable "collectionID(collection)"3. For each - to loop through each item in "collectionID" and store it in "varEventID(List Item)"4. Parallel action -     4.1. Set Variable - Store the event name for a single line text variable    4.2. Set Variable - Store the start time for a single line text variable    4.3. Set Variable - Store the end time for a single line text variable5. Build String - to store value that i set and will be used for notification6. Send notification.what I need to do

Hi,   I have one list Requests. I want to send approval request to initiators manager for each request.Share point users are coming from active directory(already integrated). I want to know how to use the Manager property for achieving this. 

A while ago I found a looping example on this site (can no longer find it) that had me create a collection for each field.  The collections were then stored in a variable (such as text or integer, etc.) via a Collection Operation.  Once the Collection Operation is complete I did a build string along with other processes using the various variables.Last week Cassy Freeman opened my eyes to using only 1 collection variable.  See   Site Workflow - Document Review Date Approaching Reminders Per Cassy:Your collection variable will have none or more IDs in it.You then do a for each ID in the collection variableInside your for each, you take the current ID in the loop and re-query the list where ID = current ID and pull back the information you need (i.e. assigned to, task name etc) into variablesThus, my question is when do you set a collection for each field vs. using the Cassy method (set a collection for 1 field - the ID and then create a query that joins the ID from the For Each against

 Symptoms After saving a workflow that was created from our SharePoint list, when trying to open it back up for edit, the customer gets an error:[XML_MissingRoot]Arguments:Debugging resource strings are unavailable. Often the key and arguments provide sufficient information to diagnose the problem.

Labs offered a link to attempt to find out from where they were hitting the error if coming from the web service call. Resolution Resolution: Customer opted to start the workflow over from scratch. 

Hi,I am currently working on a workflow that has been getting stuck after the first flexi task has been assigned. The assigned user can respond to the task, however, the workflow does not continue after that. I have looked in the workflow history and noticed that the status on the specific task is still "In Progress". Is there any way to get the status to change to completed in order for the workflow to continue?P.S. I am also very inexperience with SharePoint so I do apologize if I am not clear enough!Thanks!

Hi,I am using Nintex Forms 2013 and I am trying to apply custom css(border-color as 'something') through JavaScript towards a people picker control and the CSS is not applied at all.

HeySo I have just started playing with Nintex Workflow Cloud so please do excuse me if this is a rather basic (borderline silly) question...I have created a NWC workflow with a start event of Nintex > Nintex Mobile.  This works absolutely fine when I add the "Nintex Mobile" app to my iOS device and sign in with the NWC account I have created as part of my trial.  I can add to the mobile form and submit and I can respond to the workflow tasks I send myself inside the workflow through the app.  I am pretty happy with how easy that was to set up (and uber impressed).My question is this.  What if I want to demo this to someone and have them create the item in their nintex mobile app and have them respond to a task.  As far as I can see on the app I can sign in with the following accounts:Corporate AccountOffice 365 AccountNintex Workflow Cloud AccountNow this person that I want to partake in my investigation of the tool has none of these. Obviously I can create a public web form for the

Wondering if anyone has solved this problem and would share some ideas on this. We have task delegation, both short term and long term. If a task is delegated the only place to ask was delegated from is to look in the workflow history. Getting to that information requires a good amount of clicking and so isn't very User Friendly. At least that what our users are saying. And I kind of agree. The ability to see who assigned a task to me is useful when questions come up or if I want to re-delegate it to that person.I was thinking a calculated column that would bring up the workflow history list when clicked but that's a lot of info to bring up and the parameters for creating the content of that column would likely be a server side effort since not all of that query string is available when viewing the task.Ideas?

I have a Nintex form which I would like to have only be available from the hours of 7p to 7am.  I have tried several  validation conditions of the Submit button and I can get it to work if I say within the same single digit hour range.For example if I put Current Time is >=7:00 pm && Current Time <=9:59 PM it will work, but if I change it to a range between say 7pm and 10:00pm it will not.(Current Time >'7:00 AM' && Current Time <'7:00 PM') will not workEven tried to other things like this.((Current Time>='07:00 AM' && Current Time <'12:00 PM') || (Current Time>='12:00 PM' && Current Time <'7:00 PM'))But I cannot get it to work.This does work(Current Time >'10:00 AM' && Current Time <'10:59 AM') Any ideas or a different way to approach this?

Here is my requirement:User X makes a change to a list item and submits the item for approval. However, before the approval workflow is complete, User X realizes that he needs to make some more changes. User X goes back to the item (which was in 'Pending' approval status) and makes his changes and makes a second approval request.Currently, this second approval request by User X is not starting a new workflow instance (if previous one is not complete, as is the case here). I have tried using the "Terminate Workflow" action with "Cancel all other workflows" configuration (as per the Nintex documentation, this is supposed to cancel all previous instances of the workflow on the item) but it is doing nothing.Interestingly, if you modify the workflow design (that is create another "version" of the workflow) before making the second approval request, then the "Terminate Workflow" action cancels the previous instance (which is now an older "version") of the workflow and the approver gets an em

I have a workflow on a SharePoint Library and I want to set up a Condition that has Actions only if a Date field in the Library is populated. I can't seem to set a Condition on a Date field that says "is not empty" or "is empty" - I can only do this on Text fields. I also tried populating a text Variable with the date, so that I can set the Condition on the Variable as "is not empty" or "is empty" but that doesn't seem to work either. Anyone else have this issue? Is there a workaround?
