Hi All,I am a Newbie to Nintex - this is my first workflow - and my 3rd question on this site regarding it. Apologies In SharePoint our dates display in UK format i.e. day/month/year.  i.e. 01/10/2014 is first of October 2014.  When we do column calculations in SharePoint using the dates they work correctly. I have a list which contains a start date and an end date.  I have queried that list and put the values into two date time variables Var_startdate and Var_enddate.  (Var_startdate and Var_enddate both have blank starting values).  I have created a Build a string item using an inline function to difference the two dates, and am getting VERY weird answers. I have investigated further and found that if I do a fn-FormatDate(WorkflowVariable:Var_startdate},dd/MM/yyyy)  the value returned is 10/01/2014 If I create a variable with either Today's date or a Specified date as  default- those are interpreted correctly. Is there a setting I need to change somewhere to tell Nintex that I am wor

Hi, how to validate the total file size of the attachment control in Nintex forms 2010? Let's say 50mb. Thanks

Hi I am running SharePoint 2010 and Nintex 2.3.14I have an InfoPath form which writes to a SharePoint List.  The SharePoint List has a number of Nintex workflows attached to it.  When I try to submit the data from the form to SharePoint I am getting inconsistent results.  Sometimes the data submits and sometimes it fails with a 401 error.  All the items have the same permissions, I am set up as Owner of the site and Site Collection admin.   I have updated the button in InfoPath to submit a second time if there is an error - and this seems to fix the problem - i.e. if the submit fails the first time it will always succeed the second time. In InfoPath I have the option to Use Web services or not.  If I do not use web services the updates work ok every time - but the Nintex workflows are not triggered with the change in data.  If I opt to use Web services the inconsistent update occurs - but the Nintex workflows will trigger once the data is updated.Has anyone an idea about what is going

I have two more items on my Upgrade to Enterprise Wishlist:Needs to be some way to generate pretty emails with templates. Every email I create is from scratch and the most I can hope for is to add a basic table with a very cramped editor.  Can't reuse this variables don't copy well.People fields need a way to be formatted in Human Readable form without have to resort to set variable for each one of these. It becomes an afterthought when you're creating emails.

 Symptoms When launching the SmartObject Service Tester tool, the following error was thrown:Open Failed: Open may only be called on a primary loginSource:SourceCode.Hosting.Client.BaseAPI.SocketBaseAPIConnection.OpenError: The process cannot access the file 'K2ServerSettings.set' because it is being used by another process. Diagnoses It was determined that the SmartObject Service Tester tool was being launched from a separate client tool machine, in which the 'Tools > Server Properties' configuration was currently 'localhost'. As such, it was likely attempting to connect to a non-existent Blackpearl server. Resolution Changing the 'Server Name' configuration to the actual K2 farm name/hostname resolved the error.

Hello Community,I have made a form that has the a JavaScript Button that calls the Nintex Print to PDF function but it does this in what ever mode the form is in. For being a little more professional with the look I was just curious if you can make the function print to the display mode that you want as it would hide certain things on the form that just don't need to be shown on a official print-out.Thank you,Kevin

 Symptoms After performing the 4.6.9 > 4.7 upgrade, K2 does not pull users from a SharePointgroup on a claims enabled site. Diagnoses This was working before the upgrade to 4.7, and because of that, this was diagnosed as a "breaking change". Resolution We gave the client a fix and after applying it to the staging and production environment, all was well and we were able to get users from a SharePoint group on a claims enabled site as expected.

Our administrator has given the user account full permissions on the SQL Server reporting service. Diagnoses There is actually a missing permission in SSRS. Resolution The admin went into the sql server Reporting utility, clicked drop down on Reporting, then selected Security, and gave the user account "Content Manager" rights on the Folder. 

 Symptoms After adding an image to a form that is set for anonymous access, the image does not load and the page is prompted for authentication. Diagnoses By default, the Image Attachment Control has separate Anonymous Access settings than the rest of the form. This is due to a security vulnerability that is surfaced by the control. Resolution For information about how to change this setting, as well as the vulnerability, please see Considerations in the following documentation.http://help.k2.com/onlinehelp/k2forsharepoint/userguide/4.7/default.htm#sf-viewcontrols-fileattachmentwithprogress.html

Hi everybody, I have a business request, to start a site workflow by a button. This workflow should then start a site workflow IN THE USER's CONTEXT!!! that clicks the button, without popping up the site workflow's start form directly (that's important for the further processing).So I thought about the SOAP web service. Found a little script to get the user logon name (GetCurrentUser.js). Then I used a script to call the web service, I found here on Connect forum (StartSiteWorkflow) and adopted it to my needs. This I call with a button like this: <script type="text/javascript" src="/sites/sdtools/odfbreq/SiteAssets/StartSiteWorkflow.js"></script><script type="text/javascript" src="/sites/sdtools/odfbreq/SiteAssets/GetCurrentUser.js"></script><input type="Button" value="ShowMyUserName" onclick="GetCurrentUser();"/>Inside the workflow I created a variable "inUserLogon" (Single Line of Text, not shown on start form, not required) where I try to pass the value

 Symptoms I activated all the logs (either in HostServerLogging.config and in K2HostServer.exe.config ) to be able using C# Trace.WriteLine("csi1234567") and retrieve the track string in a log file. But I failed trying this.How could I achieve this? Diagnoses When you wrote a Service broker, it's not possible to write on the K2 Standard log file. Resolution For the Trace function from System.Diagnostics, According, https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/815788/how-to-trace-and-debug-in-visual-c, it seems that you need to useCreate the TextWriterTraceListener objects for the Console window (tr1) and for a text file named Output.txt (tr2), and then add each object to the Debug Listeners collection:TextWriterTraceListener tr1 = new TextWriterTraceListener(System.Console.Out)Debug.Listeners.Add(tr1)TextWriterTraceListener tr2 = new TextWriterTraceListener(System.IO.File.CreateText("Output.txt"))Debug.Listeners.Add(tr2)For your information, we generally write directly on the event viewer

I want to start a site workflow using JS and pass a value to the start parameter. See my code below. The workflow runs perfectly however, I'm not able to retrieve the value of the start parameter. function ResetLetter() { var waitingDialog; // var waitingDialog = SP.UI.ModalDialog.showWaitScreenWithNoClose('Your action is in progress...', "Please wait while we generate the tasks for you."); SP.SOD.executeFunc('sp.js', 'SP.ClientContext', function () { waitingDialog = SP.UI.ModalDialog.showWaitScreenWithNoClose('Your action is in progress...', "Please wait while we generate the tasks for you."); });var $request = new Sys.Net.WebRequest(); var siteUrl = "http://testservices.goys.gov.bh/sys/e-cms1/"; $request.set_url((siteUrl || _spPageContextInfo.webServerRelativeUrl.replace(/^s+|s+$/gi, '')) + "/_vti_bin/NintexWorkflow/Workflow.asmx"); var $headers = $request.get_headers(); $headers["Content-Type"] = "text/xml; charset=utf-8"; $headers["SOAPAction"] = "http://nintex.com/StartSiteWorkflo

Hi All,I am using Legacy people picker control which I had to use as it allows the business to see all the users in the group and then select rather than just type and check if the user is available (as in the newer people picker control).I am trying to do a validation to trigger exception if the people picker is empty, but I see that if the control is modified it looses its value. A little detail ..Validation query (!NWF$('#' + varAppSAssigned).val().trim().match(/./)) { alert('please enter .... '); return false; }where varAppSAssigned is the legacy people control Javascript value configured in the control.1] When the control is blank initially, the above exception does work and the message pops up.2] If you just select the user and manually delete it, then the above script does not work that may be due to the fact that "varAppSAssigned" wasnt refreshed with the new value?Has anyone noticed this, any pointers on how to use validation on Legacy people picker control?Regards,Shrini

HiI have a strange problem. I have a list and when I click on an item or add a new one it opens up a customised Nintex form.But, if I open list tools and click on the Nintex forms button it opens the default Nintex form template so I cannot edit the form design.The small arrow on the Nintex forms button list 8 options (obviously different "flavours" of the form) but each of them only opens the template.I have full permissions to the site.Where can I get to these form definitions?This is Nintex 2010ThanksSamo

We are looking at implementing Nintex Live as we were told that it is HIPAA Compliant however, I am not able to find any supporting documentation to support this claim.  Where or how can I obtain such information for our legal department to approve the use of Nintex Live as a HIPAA Compliant solution? 

What I want to achieve: - users always forget to click the OK Button after reading a task - I want a message when someone closes the task tab like 'You closed this tab without closing the task. To close your task go to the ... and click the 'OK'-Button underneath the task description.At first I tried the code at List -> form web parts -> default new form -> add web part: script editor<body onunload="stop()">  <script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript"> <!-- function stop() {   alert("Message from ...: You closed this tab without closing the task. To close your task go ... click the 'OK'-Button underneath the task description."); } //     --> </script>and this worked. Now I want the same to happen with my task form. I use the default sharepoint form (no InfoPath, no nintex forms).Any ideas where I can type in the code? Thanks!

 Symptoms Cannot deploy a workflow containing Smartforms task from K2 for SharePoint 2013 app.When we select Deploy, we get the following error in SharePoint:System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not load file or assembly 'SourceCode.WebDesigner.Authoring.ClientEvent.FormsClientEvent, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=16a2c5aaaa1b130d' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified. Diagnoses This issue is specific to distributed environment. The environment is setup as distributed environment (Server A: K2 Hostserver component, Server B: SF components+K2workspace site). When deploying K2 workflow, the call is sending back to Server A and this is where the problem starts to happen. Resolution Gac the 'SourceCode.WebDesigner.Authoring.ClientEvent.FormsClientEvent? 32 bits DLL on the K2 Hostserver (Server A) and restart the K2 Hostserver service to resolve the issue. 

 Symptoms User confirmation actions and conditional statements Diagnoses Will it be possible to confirm if this scenario is as expected?"If the user clicks cancel on a user confirmation message within the TRUE section of the conditional statement, it will then fall into the FALSE section of the conditional statement."You notice this happening and thought it was rather odd. For example you could have:If the logged in user = User1then ask the user for confirmation if they want to send the emailElsesend the email automatically.So if the user User1 presses "cancel" on the confirmation request, then it will actually just send the email because it falls into the else part of the conditional statement. Resolution This is currently the expected behaviour.Here is a basic outline of the behaviour that can be found in the user guide (http://help.k2.com/onlinehelp/k2smartforms/userguide/4.7/default.htm#sf_-_rule_designer_-_actions.html😞When using a notification action such as Get confirmation fro
