I will be creating a document library that will have several thousand documents added to it each month, and I will need to move documents to another library while preserving the version history.  Has anyone implemented the use of a Web Request action to call author.dll in order to move documents from on Doc Lib to another with the version history?  I read Vadim Tabakman’s great post describing how to do this, but I am hesitant to use this on a large scale implementation.References:This article makes it pretty clear that Nintex Workflow doesn’t have the ability to move / copy documents with the version history.https://community.nintex.com/message/18317This is a product improvement request that was created in July 2014.https://nintex.uservoice.com/forums/229405-1-nintex-workflow-for-sharepoint/suggestions/6183646-nintex-workflow-action-to-move-documents-across-shThe product improvement request contains the following comment: “Note: I have tested it with our SP 2013 and the fact that it d

We are about to upgrade the Nintex 2010 Workflow version on each farm (Prod, Test, Dev).  We have development occurring on the Dev environment continuously.  The plan to upgrade the farms is to start with the development farm, run some tests on the workflows and come up with a strategy to upgrade the test and prod farms based on the results from the tests.During the validation time period in development (which now has the upgraded version), development on new workflows will continue to occur. Will we need to cease promoting workflows through the environments until the upgrade process has been executed on the remaining two farms?  If we were to promote workflows to the test and prod farms I assume we would encounter issues, what would be their cause and is there a possibility of mitigating these?e.g.  I create a workflow with a flexitask in the upgraded farm.  I specify a BCC recipient.  Will this workflow be able to be promoted to a farm running a previous version which does not have t

In one of the articles, (https://community.nintex.com/docs/DOC-1007) it was mentioned that the Nintex exe can be run on WFE in a multi server farm hosting the Central Administration (CA). In our farm CA is hosted on one of the app servers. So in our farm, would it be ok running the exe on app server hosting the CA. Or should it be run on one of the WFE servers? Does it matter on which server the exe is run on? what is the correct way to update Nintex in a multi server farm. Thanks in advance.

Is there anyone using workflows to manage web content review?

I have 2 SharePoint lists:Projects - lists each ongoing project in groupProject Update Details - weekly updates of how each project is goingI want to create a workflow that will auto-generate a link of each project in List 1 to a filtered List 2 that only has weekly updates for the particular project (e.g. link for Project ABC in List 1 will lead to List 2 that is already filtered only for Project ABC).Just wanted to see if this is possible.

I am trying to push information from a SharePoint List on Site A to a SharePoint list on Subsite B or C.  The main list has a column called "Customer URL" with the URL of the subsite the information is supposed to go to, and a column called "Customer Name" with the customers name.  I am trying to find a way to create a workflow so when a new item is added to the list on Site A, it sends the information to the list on either subsite based on the Customer name column.  So once it sees it is for Customer A, it grabs the link in the Customer URL column, and sends the info to the list on that subsite.  This is my problem, you can point it to a URL but you can't use variables.  I can tell it to go to a URL if I type in the name, but I need it to send to a different URL each time based on the Customer Name. Please Help! :-)

Good Morning. I am very much a workflow novice & am working on my first one - so bear with me if i seem to be a bit behind the curve!I have a workflow with several "set field value" boxes. At present i have these set to my own email address (while building n testing) but what i want to do is to set this to the person that has approved the document.(This individual MAY be part of a group of email address - not sure yet)Not totally sure how to do this - so any tips?I also want to automatically update another part of my form/list with the date (& possibly time) when the approver actually approved the document. This is so that i can analyse the gap between the start date & approval dates for the various stages in my document & workflow. I have hunted hi & low for a solution for this but cannot find anything - again - any tips?Finally my approvers are getting 2 emails. First one is a notification & the second is a response required task email with the hyperlink to th

 Symptoms Form base state is not selectable when creating a workflow from the designer Diagnoses When creating a new workflow from the designer and selecting a form to use to start the workflow, the option to select the base state of the form is greyed out. Clicking through the wizard and then returning to the form selection dialog will then show the option to change the form state enabled. Note that this does not seem to happen if creating the workflow from the list. Resolution Bug has been coldfixed and will be most likely released with Update 4. 

Hi,I have seen the following post about the time out in the forms: nintex form time outIt assumes that this was a SharePoint form session time out issue and not a Nintex issue, but I don't have the issue with a basic form (no Nintex). Hence I am not keen to apply the proposed  time out change procedure.Do you also have this issue ?Does the latest version of Nintex solve this issue ?RgdsCharles

Greetings:I am working on a voucher form/workflow application that, among other things, when submitted, creates a modified copy of itself as a template to be reused.  Since I haven't been able to figure out a way to do this with a single list I have created a second list as a temporary location.  The workflow looks like this:Copy voucher to temporary location  using the Copy Item action  ->                                                Rename the voucher in the temporary location to "template"  using the Update Item action  -->            Copy the template back to the original list using the Copy Item action.This works great except that I want the voucher workflow to start automatically when a new voucher is created.  Unfortunately, the workflow starts on BOTH the Voucher AND the Template list items.  I don't want it to start on the Template so I created a column isTemplate (=No for Voucher and =Yes for Template) and configured the workflow settings to start when an item is crea

Hi,I got a Theobald Soap WebService that retrieves customers data from SAP.The WebService works great with the action Call Web Service. But i want it to work with the Web Request action because Nintex Forms does not provide the other action .Here is my problem :With Workflow, i know i have to set the SOAPAction header, but i don't know how to fill the request.With Forms (the most interesting use for my case), how to do the same ? :In workflow:In forms :here is the request i used <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><soap:Envelope xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:m="http://www.theobald-software.com/ERPConnectServices/WebServices" xmlns:erp="http://schemas.datacontract.org/2004/07/ERPConnectServices.WebServices">  <soap:Header>  </soap:Header>  <soap:Body>    <m:CustomerData>    </m:CustomerData>  </soap:Body></soap:Envelope>Thank you for your help,Rega

There is contradictory information floating around regarding the minimum requirements needed for using the Hawkeye product. In one post a user states that the enterprise subscription is required. In an online demo by a Third Party Nintex provider it was stated that a Standard Nintex license is compatible. This may be caused by your using the version number in lieu of 'Standard' or 'Enterprise'. If this information is contained in the version number that is news to many of us who are not as familiar with the product. Can you please add this information to your published information so versioning is more apparent to all members of the community and reply here with the authoritative answer to this?

If a WF settings is run on a modification will the WF continously run as the WF updates a field within a list.  Once the field within the list is updated via the Nintex WF wouldn't this qualify as a  "modification" which would then trigger the WF to run again.I want the Nintex WF only to run after a user has made some type of change to the record.  Once the user has changed the record I want the Nintex WF to run once whereby part of the WF would update a status field.Please let me know if this scenario would create a looping problem...

Hi,I have a requirement, user should be able to interact with submitted form. This is how my form works, user opens a new form, fills it and submit it. Later user will be redirected to a SharePoint page, where can they see the 'List View' with few important fields, a workflow is attached to this in the backend.Business wants a hyperlink field next to each item on SP page, on clicking it, takes the user to their submitted form, all fields should be greyed out, only one field should be editable to collect input from users.Eg: Extra Hours : "User fills", once form is submitted after entering this, 'List Column : Extra Hours' need to updated with this.This is what I tried so far, Created a panel and added a " Label - Extra hours, Control - Single line of text " to it, attached a rule to the panel, so that it will visible only in 'Display Mode'.But the output shows the panel, without 'Text control', like this,      I am hoping, this is because of 'Display Mode' behavior. Is there a way, to

I've recently come across a problem where the item properties aren't coming across properly when embedded in a confirmation message.  It's a bit hard to explain, so I'll include screen shots.  First of all, this is the radio button control I'm using:The user either selects "Proposal" or "Project".  Proposal is the current default.  Both the choices and the default are controlled on the SharePoint side rather than on the Nintex form side.  I have a message that pops up when the user clicks the "submit" button.  However, even if the user has selected "Project", the confirmation message always shows "Proposal".  I've attached a Client ID JavaScript variable (varReqType) to the radio button control and included the following JavaScript:NWF$('#' + varReqType ).change(function(){ var requisitionType = NWF$("input[formcontrolid^='3e725e19-4c05-43fd-aedd-d5dc09f58bb7']:checked").val(); console.log("Req Type = " + requisitionType);});When the Proposal radio button is selected, the console shows
