I have read several blogs about the ability to run an action set as the Workflow Owner (publisher) instead of the initiator of the workflow.The option to do this is missing from a workflow I am troubleshooting,  yet I am a Site Collection Admin and Farm Admin.Any thoughts are much appreciated.Thank you

I am having difficulty exporting a .nwf workflow after Windows OS upgrade to W10, I was able to do this from the same SP site whilst running W7 IE9. I am able to import a workflow in W!0/IE11 but not the reverse (I back up all my workflows). W10 shipped with IE11.713.10586.0.When I click export I get the under button 'pop out' option to export but then nothing else, there are no files in the downloads folder either. I have checked Event viewer and again, nothing. I have tried this in IE64bit and ie32bit. pop up blocker is turned off.Would be interested in getting this fixed as I now have a thin client next to my laptop to get over this.Thanks for readingJohn

We have several Workflows to realize the "personal mutation process" (entry, change and Exit).Since a few days I have  several wf who crashed. I wanted to restart it. So I opened the contextmenue and then "Workflows". But there I could not find he Workflows although in the site properties - workflow Gallery they are existing.What could be the Problem?Those wf worked for almost 2 years now without any problems. They were built by an external company. I can do several things now but I am not sure where to search for the Problem. Almost it Looks strange, several Workflows are shown in this context menue but a few of em not.Thank you very much for your thoughts, ideas.Have a good one.

 Symptoms AppIt 1.5 with SharePoint Online Search REST service Diagnoses I carried out the below steps as a test because i didn't have access to one of our Sharepoint online environments:I have downloaded the swagger file on to my environment and uploaded the swagger file to a sharepoint document library i created, and throughthe K2 Management site > Integration >Service instances > Add.>>Added a new service instance and the service type "Rest">> ON the Descriptor location added the URL for the upload Swagger file on my document library "https://portal.denallix.com/Test%20123618/SPORestSearch.json">> Got the attached error "Snap123618"I followed some of the steps on this document as a guide to register the Rest service broker:http://help.k2.com/kb001758On the other hand i was able to register the swagger file when using a local Descriptor location "C:ProjectsSPORestSearch.json". I also spoke to several of our developers and CAM's and they also mentioned that

Nintex has ability to peform various operations on AD User objects. Is there any capability to do the same for AD Computer objects? Basically what I am looking to do is create AD Computer account and add them to security groups using Nintex Workflow.Thanks

 Symptoms  Attempted to set a stored procedure parameter as optional/not required via '@parameter nvarchar(max) = null', but the change is not reflected in the Service Object when refreshing the SQL Server service instance. Stored procedure executes successfully via SQL management studio when not specifying this parameter.  Diagnoses  SQL permission hardening/granularity was implemented. When granting 'Execute' permission to a stored procedure for the account that will be performing the registering/refreshing of the SQL service instance, the service object is surfaced but optional parameters specified by '@parameter nvarchar(max) = null' is not reflected in the service object definition. I believe this is a SQL behavior when missing the 'View definition' permission on this stored procedure an example of this behavior is 'attached.   Resolution 'dbo_owner' was granted to this database to refresh the service instance successfully but granting 'View definition' to this stored procedure ob

Hi All,Is there any way to get the name of the person who published the nintex form.Thanks,

I am using SharePoint 2013. I also have Nintex Forms and Nintex workflows.    When adding a new item to a list,  is there an easy way to hide or disable a field using Nintex workflow or must it be done within the form?  If it must be done in the form, is there a way to do it in a standard SharePoint form?  If not, how would I do this using Nintex forms?Thanks.

 Symptoms If using the File Explorer "Search" function to look up the Connection String Editor in the Host Serverin directory, running the application results in the error "Did you run the tool from the K2HostServer directory?" Diagnoses Because of the way the search function works, it prevents the ConnectionStringEditor.exe from accessing the connectionString values from the K2HostServer.exe.config file, which it needs to be able to decrypt. Resolution Running the tool from the directory itself without using the search function resolves this issue. 

 Symptoms While sending an email from K2 smart form/ workflow it gives error, saying "Invalid SMTP Server / Port arguments supplied." Diagnoses This occurs when the Mail Server field in the environment library contains a value other than the SMTP server name with or without the port number. For example: smtp.denallix.com, or smtp.denallix.com:25 Resolution Update the Mail Server field to contain the correct SMTP server name, and if using a workflow redeploy the workflow so that the change is also made to the workflow values. 

 Symptoms When using the K2 SharePoint app, the User and group sync does not appear to update group membership when the sync is run from a sub site. Diagnoses This is a known issue, only occurring on sub sites. Resolution There is a bug logged for this behavior and a fix is being investigated for a future release.As a workaround. run the group sync from the root site. 

I'm trying to use workflow to generate a URL that when clicked opens an Outlook Calendar entry to save the SharePoint calendar event to the user's Outlook calendar.There are sites detailing this on the web, but I can't seem to get it to work.  My workflow runs successfully and generates the link, but when I click the link I get an error. Here is the link I'm trying to build so far.  Do you notice any errors?https://sharepointSite.com/_vti_bin/owssvr.dll?CS=109&Cmd=Display&List=%7BA04F0065-426E-4871-BACB-865189F23BF1%7D&CacheControl=1&ID={ItemProperty:ID}&Using=event.icsHere is one of the sites I was using to build this:  https://prezi.com/ifd-8gwstckq/sharepoint-lesson-38-create-an-ics-ical-file-for-outlook-calendar/

 Symptoms I have a Choice control using a list (via SmartObject) as the data source. I'm using "filter data according to another control's value" which is working great. However I'd like to filter that resulting data again by a "status" column. Can this be done? Diagnoses This can be done by editing the rules for the Populate the Choice Control. Resolution You can filter a control based on two different values by editing the rules that Populate the Choice Control.#1. Navigate to the Rule Designer. There should be a rule for When a Event ID Dropdown is Changed and in this rule should be a Populate the Choice Control rule. Configure this rule.#2. Once we are editing this rule, we will need to go to the Filter tab. There should already be one filter, for the drop down. We will want to add a filter for Status = Active. 

I have a form with radio button options being displayed as 3 buttons, these 3 buttons will display three different panels. Depending on the button that is selected there will be different validation required.For example, button 1 will have a requirement of "Name", if I have selected button 2, I don't want "Name" to be a required field when I go to save the item. How do I add validation to a Textbox (or anything) that will only be required if the correct button is selected?

Hey all!  Having an issue with a site creation workflow I'm developing.Premise: Create a list workflow that uses fields from a form as properties of the Create Site action to create a sub-site on the parent with user-provided SIte Name.Issue: I'm having trouble configuring the "Call web service" actions.  The site creation action works, and stores the new URL in newSiteURL workflow variable.  This reference is then used in the URL for the web service action so that specific Permission Groups are created and configured.  When attempting to use the workflow, I get a message about removing the remaining references from the URL that is calling the web service, but I do not have a site URL to use at this point as this value is provided by the user in the form.I've tried using the Parent URL and it's Web methods that are provided, but receive a soap exception error.Anyone have a workaround or tips for creating SharePoint permission groups for the new site being created by a site creation wor

Hi, I'm trying to filter a lookup by multiple values (E.g. where the year column is 2016 or 2017) but nothing i can think of seems to work. I've tried putting 'fn-Or("2017","2016")' in the filter value box but it's not working. Filtering by a single value is fine but otherwise i can't build any kind of logic into it.Thanks for any help.

I'm having an issue with a Flexi Task action within a workflow and hope someone can give me some ideas. First off, the list is set to where you can only edit an item if you created it (this is required). However, with the Flexi Task the 'Approvers' can approve/deny with no problem. The problem begins when they choose to delegate their task. When they delegate the task, the recipient does not receive permission for the task. The recipient has 'Contribute' level SharePoint permission, and during our multiple tests, I've even granted them higher level permissions via the Flexi Task "Item permissions" section. They are still not given permission to the task. I've doubled checked and "Allow delegation" is checked within the Flexi Task menu. I have run out of ideas and cannot figure out why it is not delegating. Any suggestions help!!!
