I have seen in the Nintex 2016 that the workflow installation is not supported on SharePoint 2016 MinRole topology. So I would like to understand if customer needs to completely give away MinRole topology for installing Nintex?

So in SP13, I have a list that has 100 "audit" line items with a unique name identifier for each of those audits. I have a Nintex form attached to this list that the end user fills out for each audit. Each of the 100 line items has different audit questions that the auditor must ask while reviewing. I have been asked to create a form questionnaire for each of these 100 line items. Again, each line items could have different questions. (I do not have a count) Without creating new columns for the questions, and creating hide formulas in the form,  I wanted to reach out here to get ideas/better options to do this? Is there a way to create and populate another form off of the primary form based off of the audit line item?Hope this makes sense. Thanks!‌

 Symptoms  Users are getting the following error when trying to access SmartForms using AAD credential: "401 - Unauthorized: Access is denied due to invalid credentials"  Diagnoses  The issue was caused by URI for K2 Trust for AAD Issuer got changed to local server name.  Resolution We updated this value via K2 Management > Auth > Issuers to the correct value. That allows the user to run registration successfully.   

Hi all! Hope you can answer one or more of these questions!I just discovered the Nintex Workflows library. In it there is a folder for each workflow and in each folder there are two files (forms?) with the ending .xml and .xoml. What is the diference?In case I used InfoPath before I see those forms as well (the old ones are checked out).My problem is that I cannot change my form back to default (not InfoPath) in my workflows with reviews. I mentioned that in a few previous questions. Do you think I can fix the problem through this library somehow?I read this post:https://community.nintex.com/thread/10380 NWAssociatedWebID : what is this ID and what does the value change?NintexWorkflowID: Why do you have to specify the Workflow ID? Why does this not happen automatically? And what changes when typing the ID in?Thanks a lot!!!

Hello everyone,I think a lot of you will know the SharePoint 2013 Web Part Content Search. I put this web part on my new form.When I type in a term to the search box the content search gives me my results 'in a new window'.Is it possible to change that? I just want the results to appear on my form.Thanks!

I want to use the search webparts for my NewForm. (SharePoint 2013)I want to search title from a list on the same sharepoint. Where can I type in the URL of the list?Is it possible to view the search results on the same form? Normally when having the search box the results open in a new site and the information typed in the NewForm are lost.. Thanks for your help!

Hey guys,a colleague of mine has got an issue regarding a site workflow published via Nintex web service (PublishFromNWFXml). The problem is that when importing/publishing the workflow like this to a new site, the start form is not working anymore and giving following error:"Application error when access /_layouts/15/NintexForms/InitiateWorkflow.aspx, Error=The URL for the customized Nintex-Startform could not been found. Please start the workflow manually."Although it's about an infopath start form, the problem seems to be quite the same like:  However, there has not been any answer yet =(Has anyone ever had this problem and found a solution/workaround for this?  RegardsPhilipp

 Symptoms This is a hybrid environment Blackpearl 4.7 on premise connected to Office365/Sharepoint Online. Previously generated artifacts (SmartObjects, Views, Forms and Workflow) against a list/library disappeared when re-launching the K2 Application (only the 'Create New Application'/'Deploy Solution' is available).Workflows using the 'Item Added' event does not start and the 'Applications and Services Log > K2' also throws error for the Remote Event Receiver:Value cannot be null. Parameter name: valueWhen editing the 'Item Added' condition, the error below is thrown:Value cannot be null. Parameter name: rootWebUrl Diagnoses This is an issue due to recent Sharepoint UI changes for Office365/Sharepoint Online New UI vs Classic UI. Resolution A codefix was provided to resolve these issues. For any Lists/Libraries that are missing the artifact (previously had them), please use the 'Create New Application' option but ONLY select the 'Data/Create SmartObject' option. This will relink a

 Symptoms When launching the K2 application for a List or Library, the following error was thrown:"Version string portion was too short or too long." Diagnoses SmartObject logging indicates that the 'K2 Application' SmartObject from the App Catalog site was throwing this error upon execution of the 'Get K2 Application Settings' method. For the 'Application_Version' Return Property, it was returning 'regWiz' instead of a version number. Inspection of the hidden 'ListsK2 Settings' list for the app catalog showed an entry with the 'Application_Version' = 'regWiz' string. Resolution Set the 'Application_Version' to 4.4120.8.0 which is the version of the k2 for sharepoint app. 

 Symptoms When try to use the K2 Designer We receive the next error messageCould not load file or assembly 'K2Field.K2Forms.Controls.Literal' or one of its dependencies,This error appears after we do a deploy. Diagnoses N/A Resolution The 'K2Field.K2Forms.Controls.Literal' is a control on the community site. (And does not come standard with K2) The control might not be installed on the target environment. When trying to use that control in the "target environment", the assembly was not found, and threw the error.http://community.k2.com/t5/K2-blackpearl/HTML-Literal/ba-p/80400If this control was registered in your development environment and used in a view/form that was deployed to the test environment or environment that giving the error, you will also need to register this custom control in your test environment to resolve the issue. 

 Symptoms The quick search feature is not working for one of my columns.From the quick search drop down list - I selected the column which is a date field call Add Date. When I put a date in the search text box and search. It returns nothing.It seems to work for all the other columns, just not the date field. Please advise how to fix this. Diagnoses N/A Resolution Found that the sql column for the AddDate is of type DateTime. Try to change that column to Date type, then refresh the sql service instance and the smartobject. Then try searching by the date using the format yyy-mm-dd to resolve the issue. 

 Symptoms Calling the close browser window rule/functionality closes the form but leaves the empty window. Attached the screenshots. Please let me know how to fix this this. Diagnoses N/A Resolution This is a known issue.One possible workaround is create a Literal, Hidden Data Label control on your view/form, and when you wish to close the window, create a Transfer Data rule that transfers the following script into the Data Label control:<script>window.open('', '_self', '') window.close()</script>This script opens a blank window on the current page and then closes it.It turns out that the reason the script does not work on chrome is due to the browser behavior, please see the following post online:http://stackoverflow.com/questions/19761241/window-close-and-self-close-do-not-close-the-window-in-chromehttps://forums.asp.net/t/2023813.aspx?Jquery+window+close+not+workinghttps://groups.google.com/a/chromium.org/forum/#!topic/chromium-apps/vnRRgPhEXychttps://bugs.chromium.org/p

When configuring an "Assign to-do task" action, we're permitted to set certain Workflow Task fields.  Specifically "Title", "Predecessors", "Priority", "% Complete", and "Due Date":I would like the capability to set an additional, custom field that I created for the Workflow Task.  Is this possible?  If so, how?

A list item is changed via an Event Receiver. In the history list of that item I see the Change and a new Version is created.My workflow Option "Start when items are modified" = "YES", nevertheless the workflow did not start.What is the reason and how can I start a workflow in this case?

Hello,I'm developing a Invoice approval application,I have created a Invoice list, Approver & Supervisor list and task list.Here is my requirement.1) Preparer select approver(s) then submit the request. 2) Approver(s) can delegate task to multiple person(s).3) If the task is not completed, send reminder to approver after 5 days. If the task is not completed after 10 days escalate the task to supervisor (comes from a list).Once all approver(s) approve the request mark the request as completed, if not reject the request.Appreciate if anybody can guide me .Thank you.

I'm using Escalation in my tasks (Assign To-Do and Flexi-Task) and we find that we can only delegate or complete the task, we can't simply notify someone when it has been escalated. For example, if the task is escalated to the Manager, the Director wants to be notified that it has been escalated without being assigned a task to complete.I don't want to over-engineer the workflow with loads of conditions and parallel actions and pauses and so forth. I also don't want to use a Run If after the task has been completed because that defeats the purpose of notifying someone that the task was escalated.Is there any way to get this functionality? Using a condition in the "Delegate to" field? Using a formula to create the condition, setting a variable with that condition, and using the variable in the "Delegate to" field?We are willing to let this go, so no rush. Just thought I would throw that out there and see if anyone in the community had any ideas. It would be nice if we had the option to

 Symptoms How do we transfer a K2 Studio workflow over to another computer so that it works exactly the same like it was never moved to a new machine? Diagnoses N/A Resolution A workflow file is usually created and stored locally. When deployed it to written and also stored within the K2 database.1. If you are looking for the physical workflow file (.kprx) for K2 Studio, it will can usually be found at 'C:Users{Username}DocumentsK2Studio' for the {username} that had created the K2 Studio project/workflow. The '.kprx' file is the actual workflow file that would have the information regarding how this workflow was designed. The '.k2proj' determines the category name that the workflow is deployed to so when deployed the workflow will have naming convention 'k2projnamekprxname'. I would recommend copying the whole folder that would contain both '.k2proj' file and the '.kprx' file.2. If you are looking for the deployed version of the workflow. It can be downloaded from K2 Workspace and extr

Hello Nintex Community,I am looking for some input from the community on the following question - Task Reminder vs. Complete Workflow Task vs. Tasks in general, what would you use and what have you used?First let me give you my scenario. I have a request to create a way using SharePoint to track the yearly acknowledgement of certain documents that end users have to read and confirm that they have read. We have decided on the following:1. A custom list will be used to hold the needed information to do this. The fields in this list are listed below:Title - Single Line of Text - Holds the name of the document to be reviewed User Name - Person/Group Field - User name is selected so that a email can be sent to the end userEmail Sent - Yes/No field Due Date - Date/Time field - The date that the end user must complete the taskDate Email Sent - Date/Time Field - Records the date the email was sent to the end userDate Read - Date/Time field -  The user has to pick the date that they reviewed th

 Symptoms Check box list border in a table control Diagnoses When you have an item view with table control and inside the table control is a check box list which has been set to "borderless".The table is hidden and only shown if the selection made from a radio button list is "Yes".When the table is shown the check box list is shown with a border.I have found a workaround. I have added an action to the rule that shows the table. It sets the check box list as borderless after the table has been shown. Resolution This has been logged as a bug on our side and will be dealt within future releases of K2.

 Symptoms Issue:After upgrading to 4.7, the K2 for SharePoint 2013 Application could not be activated on one of the site collections.When activating the K2 for Application on a specific site collection, the following error is thrown:Service Object doesn't not contain method.ServiceObject [Management_K2Application] Diagnoses Diagnosis:We removed the K2 Application from the Site collection, re-added it, however the issue still occurred. We ran through the App deployment setup manager, however this did not resolve the issue either. This only happened with one existing Site collection. Resolution Resolution:The developers advised us to refresh the 2013 SharePoint Service instance for the problematic site collection as a last resort(it is not advisable to do this in normal circumstances), and then apply a new codefix to finally resolve the issue.  

 Symptoms Day Difference inline function returns a decimal instead of an integer. Diagnoses Day Difference returns a decimal by default. The whole number is the number of days, the decimal represents the number of hours. Resolution To work around the decimal return, you can use the "Round Up" Mathematical inline function. To return a whole number, enter 0 digits. The number will be rounded up into the next integer.In your project, you will use the "Round Up" function and in the "Value" field you will then input the Day Difference function and complete that as normal. In "Digits" for the Round Up function, you will put 0. This will return 7 days, instead of 7.291...... etc.If you do not want a couple hours left on an item to show as a full additional day (for instance you would rather show 7 days if the number is 7.291 instead of 78 days), you can use the "To Integer" conversion function instead of the Round Up mathematical function. This function performs basic mathematical rounding. A

Hi all,I have a regex with check match in my workflow and want to see if the string is empty.I tried the obvious: .But it didn't work for some reason.I could type in [0-9a-z]  etc. but that wouldn't involve # or & or ...I tried ..* as well but it didn't work. Ideas?

Hello Friends,Workflow executing in parallel on a single list is creating a problem like 'Index out of bound'. The problem is happening since the list column/list item is not mutually exclusive for workflows. Is there any component by which list item can make mutually exclusive for all parallel running workflows? i.e. when one workflow will modify the list the other parallel workflows will be prevented from reading or writing?Thanks,Mani.
