Hello,   I want to query a person via a LookUp in a Nintex form. A Calculated Value I have the following formula: lookup("Employees", "Name", applicantInputPreferredName, "Manager") Explanation:Employees - LookUp listName - field with the users (person field)applicantInputPreferredName - This is the user whose manager I want to queryManager - "Person or Group" field in which the manager appears   The query works perfectly.   My problem: The result is the manager in the format 10;#Mueller SteffenBut I would like to have the format i:0#.w|global[userID].   Is there a way to specify the desired return format for a lookup() of a person field?   All posts about similar topics, want to find out the display name, email address or other information, but they all have my desired format as starting point. But with 10;#Mueller Steffen I can not do a userProfileLookup(), right? Background: The manager should be inserted into a person field via "PeoplePickerApi". I can cut off the "10;#" with JS an

Here's the concept I'm trying to create:   I have a list that is pre-populated with 20 items.  A user can come along and put their name in the name column in this list.  Normally, this would be accomplished by someone clicking EDIT on one of the items.  However, one of the requirements I've been given is to create an ADD NAME button that acts as a link to EDIT at the top of the page (which is easy enough with a content editor web part to place a link button).  The problem is this:  How do I create a workflow to make the button link (which I'm guessing would be a link to EDIT the first item in the list) go through all of the items in the list, and if the name column is empty, put the name there (and if it's not empty, move on to the next one) ?     Please let me know if my question doesn't make sense, or needs clarification. 

Hi community!   I was wondering if anyone had any particular tips/tricks on how to show a Nintex form (SharePoint 2013 on prem) in an iFrame somehow, on another another web app/domain/page? I was able to see some documentation on getting SharePoint content to show in an iFrame cross domain relying on restful calls with the built in sharepoint cross domain library but was not quite sure how to take it a step further and have an intake form to send data back into SharePoint to save a submission to the SP list. Anyways this might totally be a SharePoint question and less a Nintex question but I thought I would see if anyone in this great community had any thoughts. 🙂    Thank you!

Hi All,    I have a site workflow that is run manually and each time it sends the user an error notification that the workflow failed to start, however each time I check the workflow, it has completed all actions. In the start site workflow page it continues to show "in progress." The workflow history, shows the failed to start message.    Please advise on how to get rid of this error each time.

I have an SharePoint list that have multiple choice option values in it. The format of the values in it is similar to something like : ABC | XYZ The drop down control in Nintex form is trimming the Pipe Symbol and all the string before it, so the option appears to be just XYZ in the choice field. I am new to Nintex Forms so is this a known issue or am i just facing it?

Hello all,   For an approval flow (before through mails) I created a nintex workflow in sharepoint. This works perfectly, but for the coming holidays I need to change some people in the workflow because they are out of office. I did change the name of one approver and published the workflow. But there are still running workflows on the old version and now the workflow requests (see snip below) another approval from the new person, but the approval was already given by the former approver. I included a snip for a part of my workflow and a snip for the configurations of the approval.   Could you please help me, so no second approval is necessary if one approval is already given? Is the cause, the button "all must approve" that needs to be "Only one approval is required"?  

In SharePoint 2010, I have a people picker field named 'Additional Assignee' that allows multiple entries. I need to be able to generate an email notification each time someone is added, but the notification should only be sent to the new people added and not the people already listed (they would have received an email when the item was created.) Any ideas on how to best accomplish this? Thank you!

Hi, I am using SharePoint 2013.  I am a newbie with workflows. Please help! I'm trying to create a workflow that sends users an email if a form hasn't been updated timely.   The list  has the fields: ID (Number) ProjectName (Single line of text) ProjectLead (People or Group) Frequency (choice field: Monthly, Bi-weekly, Weekly) State (choice field: In Progress, Closed, On Hold, Withdrawn) Modified (Standard SharePoint field: Date)   If State=In Progress and Frequency = "Monthly", then look thru all the records and send the ProjectLeads an email if Modified < Today's Date -30. The email should list all the late ProjectNames assigned to the ProjectLead along with their IDs and links to the records in edit mode.   Same with Bi-Weekly but the formula would be Modified < Today's Date -14.  Same with Weekly but the formula would be Modified < Today's Date -7.    I was hoping the workflow could be set to run daily.    Thanks in advance! Please be gentle since my programming skills are

How could I query a list to check if it’s empty or has no items? Basically I have a list A that stores temporary values and items get deleted every time a workflow is run. I need to query list A from list B and start my workflow only if list A is empty, only if temporary values have been deleted.

We have a Nintex form on Sharepoint 2013. The date picker on the form does not show even though the user is clicking on the calendar icon.   The problem is it only happens to certain users. - It only happens to certain users - IE works for everyone - Browser that does not work is Edge and Chrome (both update to latest version), but for myself it works - We are using Firewall - I have checked an d there are no overlapping invisible objects on top of the date picker -The date picker only has the default CSS nf-form-input nf-section   Has anyone experienced any problem? Kind Regards

I am creating a 'version' list to create trend data (I do not have access to a sql db at this time).  To do the versions, I am copying all list items to a 'version' list every day at the same time but the workflow takes several hours to complete.  I would like the copy to be the status of all items at the time the workflow starts - will the query list bring all items into the workflow or does it reach out again to the live list when looping thru and therefore possibly get an updated version?

Utilizing the base form for a content type in a drop off library through SharePoint 2013 my documents will move to their final location when the content organizer rules are met.   If I change the content types form template using Nintex forms the document will no longer move with the same properties filled in. After saving the changes through Nintex Forms no dialog shows that it was either "Saved to final location" or "Moved to Drop off library" just sits in the drop off library. Changes are visible to the document in the list and through the properties. Deleting the Nintex Form template and editing the document with the default form while not making changes will save it to final location.   Does Nintex Forms not support content organizer rules or is there something else going wrong here?

I'm looking to implement the content organizer for a certain section of our site and have run into a bit of a problem.  First off, I enabled the content organizer and configured it to use three custom content types that I created with rules to route each content type to it's own document library.  I tested it and everything works great.  That is to say I go to the Drop Off Library, click on new document, upload the file and then get the SharePoint form were I can select the document type and the fill out the necessary fields associated with that document type, save it and it instantly moves the document to the proper document library.Now I'm thinking this is great but want to provide a richer form for the users with some additional instructions.  Nintex forms are the perfect solution to this.  Next, using Nintex forms I created custom forms for each of the Content Types in the Drop Off Library.  I tested it and the Nintex form I created pops up once I've added a new document to the Dro

We have a SharePoint site setup for tracking teams metrics. We have multiple lists to organize things. A metrics definition list that captures the metric, description and target goal percentage with start/end dates.  This drives the actual tracking log to get the right metric goal% for the date of the log item.  This works fine and other calculations work as needed. We are stuck on updating all the log items for when a metric definition goal% is changed.  If a user updates the target goal (for whatever reason) we need to find all the impacted tracking log items AND update the goal% to the new/revised value. I thought I could do this from the metric definition site with a list workflow, but cannot figure out the query logic to find all the log items from the other list.  A site workflow was pulling everything and again struggled to get the right logic.   How can we setup a workflow or combination of workflows to - when a target goal% is updated find the all related log items in another

Hi All -  After Window server 2008 R2 upgrade to Windown server 2012 R2, we are getting below error message while open the workflow into the server (WFE - license server)  - SharePoint 2013 - Nintex Workflow 2013 (v3.3.1.0)     Please find the below logs :-   Application error when access /_layouts/15/NintexWorkflow/Preview.aspx, Error=Invalid viewstate.

Hello All, I am trying to create a list, where based on a dropdown selection, three text boxes are populated from an external list. I have a look up field of values that are badge numbers from the external list. When a badge number is selected, the member's information is populated in three text boxes, being name, company and status. All information for the look up and the text boxes is retrieved from the external list. As well, I am hoping to eventually use barcodes to retrieve the data for the text boxes. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello, Is there a way to use Nintex Workflow to automatically detach a document from a list item (or copy it without detaching) and saving the doc to a file share? Thanks!

PreviousApprovers: automatically populated with the information in the Approvers column in New mode   I currently have 2 workflows, Workflow1 starts on New and Workflow2 when an item is modified.   Kindly find below a breakdown of Workflow2 Desing: - Query list: Queries ListA and stores the information in the Approvers column in collection variable colApprovers and the information in the PreviousApprovers column in another collection variable colPreviousApprovers   - Collection Operation:  Target Collection: colApprovers and Remove by value colPreviousApprovers   - Send Notification: Notification should only be sent to the new additions (the difference between colApprovers and colPreviousApprovers) but

I have a multi-line text field which contains updates on the item, so I have append changes turned on, and therefore, all the comments are stored in version history, not in the text field.  I need to extract the last update from the version history to include in a workflow email notification.  Image of the text I am referring to is attached.  Any suggestions?

Hi there, I am new here and facing some issues.  I am working on SharePoint online and I have Nintex form with 3 panels which can be shown and hidden based on user selection from 2 drop down. All 3 panels have a few common fields which are connected to same field. For example, I have created one text field named "desc", I have used this field in all three panels with different names such as "b1desc", "b2desc", and "a2desc" and connected each to "desc". So, sharing on field between three panles.   main form example:  I have 1 drop down with 2 option "a1" and "a2" another drop down with 2 option "b1" and "b2"   case 1: if user select a1 and b1 from drop down then it should pop up a panel with. case 2: if user select a1 and b2 from drop down then it should pop up new panel. case 3: if user select a2 and no matter whether it is b1 or b2 it will pop up new panel.    Problem is I am filling the form for case 1 and submitting it as well but it is not saving any data which I have entered into

Hi Guys   I am new to using Javascript with Nintex for SP2013 and I was wondering if someone could help me out with this. Lets say I have a multi line textbox called 'projsumm' and I want to restrict the number of words to be put into this entry to 250 words. I had found this code on a previous thread and was wondering if i could use it in some way although I am unsure as to how to reference the actual textbox 'projsumm' in this particular case.   function wordCount(source, args) { var words = args.Value.split(” “);words = NWF$.grep(words, function (element, index) {if (element.trim() != “”) {return true;}});if (words.length < 20){args.IsValid = false;}}   Any help would be greatly appreciated or providing alternative methods of how to achieve what I am after.   Cheers,

I can't find the form settings in New Responsive forms. Can any one post a screenshot on how to do this in the new format? I can't even find any advanced settings other than in form style.  Thanks!

User request to disable deletion and modification of the existing repeating section items. It should allow adding new rows, but no deletion and modification. I wrote the code below. However, it has 2 issues --1. It disabled the dropdown and single line fields as expected, but the code has no effect on the Date/Time field. I tried both prop('disabled', true) and attr('disabled','disabled') and none of them disabled the date field --2. I thought the function call only execute once at the form loading time. However, when I clicked the 'Add New Row' button, the newly added row were disabled at well.   Here is the code NWF$(document).ready(function() { var isNewMode = document.location.pathname.indexOf("/NewForm.aspx") > -1;var isDisplayMode = document.location.pathname.indexOf("/DispForm.aspx") > -1;var isEditMode = document.location.pathname.indexOf("/EditForm.aspx") > -1;   if( isEditMode)                  disableNWFRP();}); function disableNWFRP(){               NWF$(".nf-RSPPo
