We have SharePoint 2016 Min Role Farm & Nintex Workflow  2016 installed on Application Server as Min Role was not supported before. Now we have purchased Nintex  2016 License and applied from central admin (APP Server) but now it is showing that it is applied to Front End Server. We are getting below error: Error:This server is not licensed. Server name is: 'SERVERNAME-APP'. Please send a screenshot of this licensing page and a screenshot of the 'System Settings > Manage servers in this farm' page to sales@nintex.com to ensure you are accurately licensed. You will be unable to publish, edit or start Nintex Workflows .

Hi Everyone,Please I need help applying color change to a calculated value control. I want the color of the control to change based on the calculated value.I tried using the rules. the color change appears on the control but does not go beyond the text area.  I tried an alternative method of putting the calculated control in a panel, and then applied the rule to the panel. The result was almost the same.Any ideas?

Hi All,I am able to set a list lookup A to be filtered by named control list lookup B, however if i try to set A to be filtered by a named control calculated value C where the formula is simply B, the filter doesn't work. Why is that and is there  a way to fix it? I have tried setting the calculated value to equal the lookup directly and by using parseLookup() and neither method works.

Hello CommunityI am struggling with getting Lazy Approvals to work. For some reason the email response does not trigger the workflow, but I have configured all prerequisites as described in this article LazyApproval Guide: Nintex Workflow 2013 & Nintex Workflow 2010. Just to give you an idea of what I've done so far.1. Installed SMTP feature and started service2. Set up Reply-To email (similar to email alias)3. Enabled Lazy Approval on SP CA and configured alias4. Checked Lazy Approval option on the flexi task5. I have tested that the server can receive incoming email by setting up a document library with incoming email option enabled. When I received a task notification email, I replied to the library email address and the email was delivered to the library without any problem.The problem now is when I reply to the alias configured in CA, nothing happens to the workflow. do I have to configure a document library that receives the Lazy Approval responses? If yes, how?

I have a repeating section and trying get values from it in a workflow. fyi- I have named the repeating section and the elements in it.I tried using Query-XML Action in the workflow with the statement: fn-XmlDecode({ItemProperty:FormData})It decodes the data but it's not very readable.I tried using the xpath query //RepeaterData/Items/Item to filter the items but the output data doesn't change.Let me know is there another way to get values from a repeating section.

 Symptoms  User cannot open workflow task  Diagnoses  I have a user that cannot open their workflow task. The Error is, "Access denied. You do no have permission to perform this action or access the resource. Failed to initialize the Context". The user is a member of a group that has, Start, View, and View Participate process rights. I have also added the user's account to the Process Rights but it made no difference. The solution is using SharePoint. I redirected to the Task to another user and they were able to open the task without error. I am not sure why this user cannot open the Workflow Task.  Resolution 1. Removed user's permissions on the SharePoint Site Collection 2. Removed user's account from the Site Collection 3. Removed user's account from the task in the workflow and re-deployed the workflow 4. Ran the K2 Synchronize Groups on the settings for the K2 App on the SharePoint sub site 5. Ran a SharePoint Full Profile Import 6. Added user's permissions back on the SharePoint

Please see below the screenshots. date pickers work when page load when choosing the cascading lookup, the datepickers disappear Javascript error.Thank you in advanceJosh

Hi everybody,After trying to resolve my problem with the Nintex support, they suggest to me to create this question on dev talk.In fact, the problem concern JS on forms so they can't help me.My problem is the custom validation function in a textarea or other placed in a repeating section.This custom validation function is only fired for the first line of repeater, after that when to add more lines, custom validation function is never called.This function is just a call to my method JS included to the form, it permit to replace commas by dots to prevent bad calculation of amount by Nintex (decimal separator VS thousand separator).Anyone know how can I work around my problem with JS or not... I've already try to use validation rules, regex but it doesn't work when the textarea is define as a double value instead of string by default.Thank you a lot for your timeBest regards.

What is the best way of comparing two dates in a workflow?  I have the following use case:I have two date/time variables, Ship1 and Ship2 and then I have another data/time variable that I will use to write to SQL.  Call that SQLShipDate.  My logic is as follows:Set SQLShipDate = Ship1.Set Ship2 from the list data.  If the list data is blank, the value that gets placed in here is 1/1/0001 12:00:00AMI have a RUN-IF action that says, If Ship2 does not equal 1/1/0001 then SET SQLShipDate = Ship2So on my TESTS here is what I get:Ship1 = 1/26/2017Ship2 = blank (1/1/0001)SQLShipDate is 1/26/2017 (what it should be)Ship1 = 1/26/2017Ship2 = 3/1/2017SQLShipDate is 1/26/2017 (this has failed the test.  It should be 3/1/2017)As I run my workflows, the RUN-IF action never works.  No matter what date Ship2 is, it never passes the RUN-IF comparison.I can't figure out what else to do.  Does anyone have any suggestions on how to do date comparisons or check a date variable for an empty value?  I also t

Hi All,Could you kindly let me know how should i package the application I have developed using nintex form and 4 nintex workflow.It also contains lookup columns and multiple lists in it.I have to move the application from development environment to staging environment.I know one option of  export nintex form and nintex workflow and then List template. but it will be in pieces and time consuming.

I am working with Nintex and created a workflow for the approval of posting a new announcement.  I would like to create a pause if or hold the workflow until the date on the form for posting the announcement.  I cant figure out how to set up that commandthis is a screen shot of what I am trying to do  I want it  to pause until the date in the list that was selected when they filled out the form.  Once that date hits I want the announcement to post to a new list in SharePoint.  Is that something that can be done. 

I assign a first flexi task to a GROUP. When the task is approved, I would like to assign a second task to the same group EXCEPT the person who approved the first task.How can this be accomplished ?

Hallo, i got a website workflow that cycles trough a list. There is a list workflow startet on most of the items in that list, which assign tasks.The website Workflow that cycles trough the list, needs to send out E-Mail notifications containing the URL to the task related to the specific list item. Here is my question: How do i query the URL of an item releated task in a website workflow. This is easy in a list workflow, but i can't figure it out in a website workflow.To be more specific: I got a list item and i need to know the URL of the task that is related to the list item. Any of you got an idea? Thank you. Greetings.

Business Requirement: We have a workflow with a flexi task that has to be fulfilled by someone in an Active Directory group.  The group members don't want to be bombarded with task assignment notifications. Instead, they want to have the email notification sent to a separate account tied to a shared mailbox. However, the task needs to be assigned to and fulfilled by one of the individuals, not the shared mailbox account. Current (flawed) Solution: To solve this problem, I've set up parallel actions. On one branch, a flexi task is assigned to the AD group but notifications are turned off. On the other branch, the workflow pauses for a moment so the flexi task has time to get assigned, and then an email notification action sends a message to the shared mailbox with a link to the assigned flexi task. This allows users in the AD group to get the email in the shared mailbox but still fulfill the task from their own account. Problem: The problem is that there are times when an admin needs to

On Saturday, I took the Practice Test and scored an 80%--not great--but I felt I had an idea of the questions. On Sunday, I took the real exam and scored 177/300--passing was 180. I concur I did not know the material in the detail I would like and deserved my marks. However, I am miffed at the questions asked and the lack of adequate training material on the site. The practice test utterly failed in exposing the breadth of the test.Nowhere did I see an in-depth coverage of NWAdmin as related to SharePoint; detailed instructions of the install sequence; detailed instructions for configuring lazy approval; comprehensive coverage of restore procedures and Nintex Logs.I'm not arguing for a better grade; I just want to know where to find this information before the next two weeks elapse--without methodically Googling every topic. Just downloading the NWAdmin Manual is not helpful and lacks an overview and working examples.thanks,Stephan Onisick

Hi,I was trying to update Nintex Workflow 2013 from 3.0.8.0 to 3.1.7.0 this weekend, but the installer crashed everytime when trying to "Disabling Workflow Timer Job..."Has anyone else experienced this problem?Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

Hello,I would like to know how to stop all the extra wording that is stored on my data collection sheet after a user signs up for a class. At one point, the form was clean and only listed users that had signed up for training.  See the attachments titled Original Data Collection FormNow, there are a lot of extra wording that mostly deals with the workflow.  How can I turn that feature off. (See the attachment titled Other Data Entry Form)Thanks

I need to be able to redirect to a URL when a form is saved based off a value of a control.   For some reason Nintex cannot access a control value in the Redirect URL parameter on the form.So I thought I could use the Client Click parameter of the button.    This works but the code is always executed even if the form is not valid.      Is there anyway to check if the form is valid then not execute the code if it is not valid?
