We have a trust between two domains in our environment, but the user profile sync is configured with the main domain only.  As there is a “Full Trust” between all domains, we are able to add users to SharePoint objects, but when we try to add a user in a Nintex Form it throws an exception -- not resolving user from other domains. Has anyone raised and resolved this issue before?  Any suggestions would be much appreciated.Thank you Martin

Hi,I am trying to copy a rich text field from SharePoint into Email Body in the Send notification action. However, the rich text formatting is not preserved when the email is sent out via workflow.Please advise,Thanks

Hi, I am having trouble trying to use the "Import into new workflow" operation available in the O365 REST API for Nintex Workflows.SDK documentation does not give much details, in particular about the way to send the nwp content in the request's body. All my attempts fail with a "NW-1001 - The specified package is not valid." error Has anyone already done this ?Thanks,

I simply within the Query List want to compare if the Current Date Time exceeds the Due Date.  Thus if it is now  02/13/2017 8:30 AM  I want to compare a due date of 02/13/2017 8:00 AM.  Pure Date comparisons seem to work but not time.  This is important since I need to notify people once the time has expired that their task is late.  In the above example my site workflow that runs at 8:30 AM should send out a note that the 8:00 AM task is late...Any suggestions on this date/time compare ?

Good morningI have an existing form, generated & designed by someone else, that requires an approval section. I have been able to create an approval form via edit task form / Nintex form:the section at the bottom is really the purpose of the approval form. This can be updated by the approver to add in a lot of extra data. ALL except the "Value of Loss" part are working fine. IE when an entry is made on the approval form they update the main form with these details.For some unfathomable reason the "Value of loss" part doesn't work - it doesn't transfer the value entered onto the approval form into the main form.I have searched & check everything that i can think of but cannot come up with a reason why this one part won't transfer the dataAnyone able to help me debug this?Pete

Hi,I've got a requirement where our staff need to be able to collect the marketing interests of our customers when they open a new account with us.The "Interests" are kept in a separate list with 2 columns, Interests (Title) and Category. The user should be able to select the "category" from a choice control and then the Interests are filtered accordingly. This works fine when using two multi select (bow tie) controls however, the users would like to be able to select the category using a dropdown box instead.This works fine for the first selection where they can select Category 1 and then a couple of interests from the cascaded multi select, however, if they want to then choose a different Category to choose more interests, this loses the values selected in the Interests multi select control. I understand why this happens (although it's a little annoying that InfoPath retains the selections successfully) so I was wondering if anyone had a solution here rather than me telling the users

I am trying to set a field value for reviewer 1 when last modified by reviewer 1 and similarly for other reviewers. the reviewer1 is a person / group field with account as display, how can i achieve this. below is the screenshot of my workflow which is not working.

 Symptoms List View header alignment issue. In the List View the column data is aligned to right as the field is number. But the header is not getting aligned to right, even after changing the style to right align. Diagnoses - Tried selecting the column, setting alignment there, then also selecting the "Body" tab and setting a custom style on the contents of the body to change alignment, does not resolve.- Tried loading the whole form as a subform at 99% size, same problem (have to resize to fix alignment).- No issue if we have only one list. Issue systematic if we the list is in the second tab.- When we have several list view in the main form (without tab), only the first list view have no issue.- I reproduce the issue with all themes: Lithium, Sky, Platinum.- When running the view the information is displayed correctly on the left side of the column, but when run on a form the sum aggregation field will right align although it has been delegated to the left. Resolution We link this i

Is it possible to allow users to add new information in a "request data" task form, once they have already clicked "Save and submit" ?  I have tried using a "Save" button instead of "Save and submit" one, but then the information entered in the form does not show up in Sharepoint... not until the form is "submitted"... Any workarounds? Thanks in advance

Good morning.I have an input form that our shop floor teams can create, that then sends my team an email telling us to update the form with some extra information. This information can take a week or two to get so the update is not always immediateI have created an "update" form that enters the updates & allows approval/rejection, however this link is accessed in the email via a hyperlink.My question is this - can u access the update form from the list without using the hyperlink?At present when i click on the item in the list it brings up the shop floor form rather than the update form.Any ideas?Pete

Hi folks,    I'm having issues with my nested if statements. My conditional statement is shown in the image. I want my form to act this way;   If any of the statements in the bracket following the "or" opeartor is true, then display message1   If all the statements in the brackets following the "and" operator are true, display message 2.else, display message 3I think I may be applying the "or" statement incorrectly. This worked fine in my excel form. is it different with nintex?

 Symptoms I am installing the 4.7 February 2017 CU to our production K2 and the update seems to have gotten stuck. The message "K2 smartforms for Sharepoint is not installed on this machine" is concerning because we do use smartforms for Sharepoint and have a number of K2 Sharepoint forms in production.This update in on our dev servers only took about 20 minutes. This update on our prod servers has been stuck for almost an hour. K2 is unavailable. Diagnoses We noticed a lot of errors in the Event Logs on a lot of smartobjects like the one below:Could not Publish Smartobject Definition to Server: Authorization Failed.The issue was actually related to the K2 Service Account not having Smartbox Permissions. There was a different K2Admin group which had these rights, but did not contain the Service Account. Resolution Once we added the K2 Service Account to the permissions for Smartbox (Workspace>Management console> Smartbox>Security) and re-ran the CU, it finished successfully wi

 Symptoms I currently have a SmartForm that depending on the Workflow task its in will either hide or make visible items on the underlying SmartForm's View.I am noticing that even through the fields (Labels/Text Boxes/ Data Labels/ Rich Text box) are not visible... The Smartform's View is still holding the space that they would contain, without collapsing the now empty table rows.Is there a way to force the table rows to collapse if the fields are now empty Diagnoses This is expected behavior in Smartforms. The gap or blank space that you see is due to the table's cell not being hidden when the control sitting in the cell is hidden. Resolution This can be done by taking the control out of a Table cell, or hiding the Table control itself. 

I've just experienced a problem comparing two dates and times on a SharePoint List, one of them is the built-in Modified column. The other column is one I built with Nintex that I ensured had a time component.  I know the Modified in SharePoint has a time component because you can see such listings as "1 minute ago", "two hours ago".When I go to compare these in a Query List Item, the Item only returns the result I feel should be returned if the Date of the column I specified is before today.  If I specify a date several hours less than the Modified Date, the query will not return any items--even though I know they are present. It ONLY seems to be doing a DAY compare.I would like to only update if something changes. I don't want to resort to flags and updating flags.Anyone seen this type of behavior?

I need an approver to receive email notifications a day before a deadline date once and the day of the deadline date every hour until they respond. I can't use Task reminders because we are getting ready to migrate to SharePoint Online in a few months. I tried to run parallel actions, but if the Flexi task is completed, I want the workflow to complete. Right now it's just sitting in the Pause until deadline date.What am I missing?

Good morningI am updating an older form that has been in use for quite a while & has lots of historical data & the form looks to have gone thru a couple of revisions over the last couple of years.The workflow i have (which i am revising) is called "Material spillage form"A previous author has managed to add a column into the list page that is titled "Material spillage form" and shows "completed" underneathHow is this done & how do i show that the job is completed? The previous workflow was simply to send an email so it is not clear how i can demonstrate that a workflow is completed in the list page.Is there a way of "forcing" a workflow completion even if it appears not to have been completed - thus forcing the list to show that the job has been completed?THope there is enough info here!?Pete

 Symptoms  If a state or states exist on a Form, and you add a RULE on a View to navigate to that Form, trying to create a package causes PandD to throw a validation error that the View is referencing the "parameter with Name:_state" property on the Form that could not be found.  Diagnoses  This appears to be a breaking change in Appit 1.5.  Resolution This issue has been addressed with the release of Appit 1.5 Update 2.   

I have a form with three status. (Closed, Rejected, and Canceled).  I want a separate e-mail for each status.  I'm using the Run If for each status in the workflow.  Closed status is in the first Run If, followed by Rejected, then Canceled in the remaining two Run If's. Only the Run If in the first position (Closed) is operation correctly.  Rejected and Canceled do not fire and the workflow ends without sending the applicable e-mail.  Is there something else I need to add/configure for a workflow having multiple Run If's and looking at the same field?  Thank you!

Hi,I created a very basic tabbed layout with three panels and one choice-control that represents the tab buttons.For Panel A I applied the following Rule: TabButtons!="PanelA"Panel B Rule: TabButtons!="PanelB"But the form creates a lot of blank space at the bottom of the form (Testet in IE11, Firefox, Safari).I added to each control the standard Nintex CSS classes and also made sure that I have some space between the panels. Is there something else that I'm missing?Thanks!Oskar

I'm a beginner for Nintex who looks for help. Recently I created a Site workflow where it sent the user a reminder when the due date is 7 days from that date. the user set due date in the item of SharePoint standard task list  (i.e. send email notification today when the field of item in SharePoint standard task list has a due date of 2/15)Also, I need another decision that send notification until task status is completed.However, I could not do this in the workflow I created.Could someone help me? *)

My question is quite simple really!I have a form that can be submitted for approval. What i want to do is to enable a user enter some extra details into the form either as part of the approval or as a whole new step before we go for approval.I want the approvers to be the ones that are in an email group that i presently have in the "Flexi Task" action boxI presently have the workflow like this:But while it will allow approval at no stage can anyone update the form with this extra information.Can anyone guide me as to what i am missing?Pete

Good day,We are building a Nintex Mobile app with big lookup lists and many cascading prompts and it is causing some problems for us.  Is there a way to get to the lists that are hosted offline on the mobile device?  Where on the mobile device are the tables / data structures for these lists?  Is there a way to make the form query these tables directly?Kind Regards,

 Symptoms When trying to remap the rule in question, you still get the same error once you exit the form. Diagnoses When you have a form after deploying from 4.6.11 to 4.7 you will see that the form in question has red ALM errors. When choose to go into the form rules you see there are expressions within some of the rule configurations in an error state (unresolved).If you choose to remap this, it will appear fine until you exit the configuration completely and that is when the same error happens again.What is the root cause of this ? Resolution This has been logged as bug and will be dealt within future releases of K2. The current workaround that is being used is to remap the expressions is to set the expression to none and then use the context browser to select the expression again rather from the eclipses.
