 Symptoms  How to bulk delete Error workflow instances.  Diagnoses  NA  Resolution Feature Logged to make this easier and more obvious. It is possible at the moment to do this. In normal circumstances the error instances will all be long to the same or multiple versions of the workflow cause the design is running into an error. In cases like this you can note the Version of the error instances and then delete that version of the workflow which will also delete the error instances from the system.   

I have a list workflow that creates multiple review tasks in SharePoint 2013 list.  My question is if one of those tasks is deleted, will the workflow still complete when the remaining tasks have been completed?

How can I get information about managing the TASK LIST?For Example:How do I save a Task List?How can I delete the information on the task list and use it for a new training class?

If a task is delegated to another person, can I save that name in a variable for future use? If so,  How do I go about doing that?

Here's the situation: I have a Nintex form with a repeating section that includes People Picker controls.  Each People Picker control spits out a user ID string (like i:0#.w|us1234567) into a node of the XML, and I save all the XML to a column in a SharePoint list.  I have a need to turn each user ID string into a readable name, which I know I can do with the Query User Profile action.  But what I really want is to do that in place, so that inside the XML that is in the SharePoint column those user ID strings all turn into human-readable names.  Does anyone know of a way to do this?  I'm guessing that there's no way to call the Query User Profile action from inside XSL...

Hi,I am facing a very strange issue with Nintex WF.  I have a site workflow which is scheduled to run every one hour and create an item on the list. But, the workflow creates multiple items every time it runs. it keeps on creating items. It is creating an infinite loop. Here is my server topology.Two WFE serversOne APP server.The workflow Timer service and Microsoft foundation web application service is enabled on both WFEs and they are turned off on App Server.

Is there some sort of tutorial on how to create a workflow that will take my form submission and create a PDF so I can attach to an email as I have several repeating rows.

Currently, we have a SP 13 environment that has 2 WFEs, both licensed for Nintex, handling all web requests, from both users and CSOM calls.  We are looking to add 2 more WFEs that through the use of request management throttling rules will exclusively handle only CSOM calls.  User and Nintex-based requests will still be routed through the original WFEs.  The new WFEs will handle NO Nintex-related calls.  However, if I add 2 more WFEs that are running Foundation Web Service on them that will only be utilized when request management throttling rules direct requests to them Nintex Workflows and Forms will start posting errors that there are 'Invalid servers' or server not licensed errors.  I understand that this is because we only have licenses for the original 2 WFEs.So after a lengthy preamble, here's the question: how can I add 2 new WFEs to our farm which will only be used to handle CSOM calls and will NEVER handle Nintex requests without having to purchase additional licenses?  Not

 Symptoms Hi,We are facing an issue. Plz see attached an example of our workflow event from the test server. We have two users in a K2 role. We are using this role to send emails to all members of the role on a particular event by using Email Activity in the workflow (in the To field).

 Symptoms Activity Description field limited to 256 characters Diagnoses Unfortunately, the field size was limited when it was designed, and is not a bug, but was designed that way. Resolution You will be able to use the Activity Metadata to display steps by following this work around:1. On the form/view the user is going to see add a Worklist control and set the rows to one this will display the latest worklist item kicked off by that person. (The rows can be made more but this just helps to narrow down to the latest item in the list)2. Then add a Text area. (This is going to display the Activity Metadata to be used as the description).NOTE: The user will not be able to see the Activity metadata in the view flow or in the SmartObject tester tool, but can be viewed in SQL.3. Add a new rule to open a worklist item once the item has been double clicked on the worklist control.4. Use the serial number property under the worklist control under Data category in the context browser.5. Now ad

 Symptoms The system cannot send notification email after we have changed the K2 service account. Email event has no issues.We have tried the following:-1. Verify MSMQ configurations following URL.https://help.k2.com/onlinehelp/k2blackpearl/icg/4.6.9/webframe.html#msmq_settings.html#tracksearch=msmq2.

 Symptoms  Can't edit K2 artifacts after deleting the MS tokens, to get past a 'specified cast error'.  Diagnoses  Customer was not able to rerun the registration wizard when the tokens were deleted. When they tried to rerun the reg wiz the screen would just show an infinite spinner and no more. We tried to run the reg wiz in Chrome instead of IE, this resolved the issue and they were able to run though the reg wiz successfully. At the time they also no longer got the specified cast error.   After some period of time, the 'specified cast error' returned.    Resolution The following script was run by the Ops team. DECLARE @CID AS UNIQUEIDENTIFIER SET @CID = NEWID() INSERT INTO [HostServer].[Configuration] SELECT @CID, '[OAUTH_ERROR_RETRIES]', 3, 0 This resolved the issue.   

 Symptoms When using a smartforms expression or custom style to display milliseconds using the documentation (https://help.k2.com/onlinehelp/k2blackpearl/userguide/4.6.5/webframe.html#date_and_time.html), the outcome is displayed (for example) 12:37:44:ffff. Diagnoses The documentation was found to be incorrect. Resolution In order to get this to work in Smartforms, you need to use FFFF as opposed to ffff. A documentation enhancement request has been logged to correct this. 

I would like for my workflow to feed information to my MAIN LIST (Titled Entry Form below) so that I may track how many people signed up and was approved for a particular training class, and how many were rejected.  I want this information stored on my data collection list.  Currently it only reports the status of the workflow (whether the workflow is In Progress or Completed)-----I would like for it to go a step further and tell me not only the status of the workflow---but the result (approved or rejected)Below is a copy of my work flow and a copy of the list that the form feeds.What is my workflow missing to allow me to gather information from the workflow process?

I am using Nintex Workflow 2010 Standard, version 2.4.7.10.  I have a state machine workflow (expense approval) with 7 states which works great, however I have a question about how this interacts with the SharePoint timer process.  Moving from the initial state in the workflow takes up to 5 minutes (the timer interval setting), however most of the other states transition almost immediately.  After a fair bit of editing, and adding a 7-task flexi task action to the 5th state in the workflow, now this 5th state also seems to trigger the SharePoint timer and takes close to 5 minutes to run, while the other states continue to run immediately.Can anyone tell me, or point me to documentation, which describes how the state machine workflow interacts with the SharePoint timer process?  Is it the case that as the workflow gets larger it will trigger the timer process more often?  Is there a way to recompile, or re-optimize a workflow in order to minimize the number of times it triggers the time

I am working on some new requests and have been asked to determine if Nintex Workflow can create work items (specifically User Stories) in Visual Studio Online.I have been successful in my initial testing where I am using Fiddler to get work items (tasks) into VSO, but have not yet been able to do it with Nintex. I am not done yet, but wanted to know if anyone had any insight on this, or REST API, and could shed some light on what they did.I am hoping to have more details soon to share, but wanted to start the conversation now Nintex Workflow 2010Thanks!

Hi,we have a SharePoint site that contains a K2 process.On the homepage is a K2 webpart that displays all the worklist items for the currently logged in user. The problem is is that it displays ALL worklist items for this user.Q. Is it possible to configure the webpart to filter the worklist items per process by default?E.g. I have 2 process, namely process 1 and process 2.I have a site Site1 that is used for process 1 and another site Site2 that is used for process 2.Can I configure the web part to only display the worklist items for the logged in user for process 1 only on Site1 and process 2 on Site2 only?Regards,Sam

Hi Community,I'm stumped....I need to update a field on a page based on the value of another field in the page.  Specifically I'm working in the Pages Library of a publishing site and the library is set up to require check out (no content approval required). The below workflow works well to hijack the check in process and update the field in question.  The problem is I only want it to run if the user is publishing or checking in a major version of the page.  Currently it will hijack the check in process for any document that meets my Run if criteria.Does anyone have any good suggestions on the best way to determine if a user is checking in a major or minor version?Thanks in advance Workflow DetailsRun if is currently based on content - there are multiple content types in the library and I only care for it run on a specific content typeWait for check out status change - unlocked by document editor (I'm assuming this is similar to QuerySave back in my Lotus Domino development days lol)Ch
