Hi All,I have form variable that use a LOOKUP calculation that collects all the "amount" from the list by filtering an "ID number". +  I use a SUM calculation to sum them up and get the total, so far so good.My issue is that the reviewer should be able to modify the "amount", and the form variable should re-calculate the SUM with the modified amount.I need to prompt the user if the amount is over the "Limit" immediately so he cant save the item until the amount is decreased. That's why I cant use a workflow, but need to do this in the form.Can somebody help how to trigger the recalculation when the amount is changed?Thanks

 Symptoms when a worklist item is assigned to an ad group (Plan Once - 1 Slot - Create a slot for each role) and a user Opens the worklist item it cannot be Released using either the Management app or the Workspace app. The only way to release it is for the allocated user to Release it them self which will be a problem if they are on leave etc. Diagnoses The ticket was linked to an existing bug item(Bug: Slot Recalculation issue: Worklist-item release doesn?t not work with K2 Role destination)The workaroundI would suggest that they change the Client Activities Destination Rule Option to ?Resolve all Roles and groups to users?. This will successfully release the task and reallocate the task to all the users.Please also the below link for more information:http://help.k2.com/onlinehelp/k2blackpearl/userguide/4.6.7/webframe.html#destination_rule-destination_rule_options_[continued].html Resolution We cannot confirm if this would be included in the next release of K2.

 Getting following error while trying to create package through k2 app for SharePoint Online.  There is no instance i can found for this, niether in in K2 designer nor in  k2 workspace. I want to deploy this smartform and workflow on another site collection by creating a package. is there any other way also? please advise.

What my need is to use the same form in all three mode, does K2 allow this?If i have a very large form with a lot of fields (say 100+) it will be very cumbersome to create 3 different forms having the functionality as well in all of them. Currently i use Nintex where i just publish one form from editor and it is used in all 3 modes, it saves a lot of effort

 Symptoms Empty String does not clear field values in Sharepoint from a workflow Diagnoses The update list item SmartObject Event doesn't pass the input values and properties to actual set the value to empty / blank / nullOnly occurs when updating with a blank / empty string.IF the list you want to update is on the same list where the Workflow is deployed then the List context > update list item (Not the SmartObject one) will work. In this scenario the list being updated is a different list. Resolution This is a product bug.Workaround:Update with a *space* instead of an actual empty value.

Hi,I was creating a state machine approval workflow which uses assign flexi task to create workflow tasks for approval.I am assigning tasks for ad group which has read only access to the site. When the corresponding users clicks on the link they are getting access denied error. My query is why the users are not even able to view the task properties with "Read" Access. Users are able to see the item in the workflow task list but when they click on it getting "Access denied error".I am admitting that users needs contribute rights to approve the task. But in my scenario they are read only users, i don't want to assign contribute permission at the site level. Instead i am ok with assigning permission at the Workflow task list level or task item level. Can anybody please help me , how to grant contribute permission at Workflow task level or item level during state machine approval process.

Hello All,What would be the best practice or tricks (clever workarounds) to factor in workflow, when a user leaves the organisation and the task is yet to get assigned to him. The workflow would error out if the user does not exists and there is no simple way of restating the workflow only from the point it has error-ed out.Any good suggestions that you have been using in your project..Couple of ways ..1) we manually ensure that the user exist before the workflow reaches that stage (where it is supposed to assign the task to the user)2) Try to build the state mechanism in such a way that it exits, but there is not error handling in the Assign Flexi Task option, so this is not a very neat solution.Could someone throw ideas on how they would generally handle any user leaving the organisation and the workflow can handle it elegantly and not error out?Regards,Shrini

Hello all,We literally are just getting started with Nintex and Sharepoint, but i foresee the question of someone asking me about OCR for anything that we cannot digitize (were in the construction business). Does anyone have any experience, recommendations or paths to investigate? These would be safety and hr related forms. Thanks in advance!Ben Bartlett

Hi all,I have a Nintex Form and a Panasonic FZ-E1. This one has a onboard barcode scanner.If I set a text field to barcode enabled, I get the button on my mobile form in Nintex Mobile. But it always opens the onboard camera, not the onboard scanner. The conversion works, but is slow, I'm missing the laser aimer, ...Anyone an idea on how to tell the form to use the scanner and not the camera?Thanks,Peter

 Symptoms Creating a PandD package on one of our environments, fails after the 4.7 upgrade. After looking at the form rules, we noticed that there appears to be a "rogue action" that has been injected into the form. Some of the rules that is supposed to be behind the "Add Attachment" button, has been moved from there, to the "rogue action". Diagnoses This was an issue with 4.6.9 PandD. The package would get created just fine on the source environment, but when you deploy the package, the rules behind the "Add Attachment" button does not get "refactored" correctly, and results in some rules being left behind the "Add Attachment" button, and the rest of the rules being moved to a "un-configured" action. Resolution We removed the rules behind the "Add Attachment" button, deleted the "rogue action", and adding the rules back manually. After doing this, all was well.Additional Information...The "official workaround" would be to recreate the package on 4.7, and re-deploy the package on the t

Hi alli have the following Problem. I have a Document Library with a column named "Empfänger". This is a lookup column which leads to a ReferenceList. This List has the column "Empfänger Gruppe" and the column "Empfänger" which is a Person column which can store Multiple values.The workflow in the Library needs to check which Values are entered in the column "Empfänger".He then needs to check for each value in this field what the Empfänger are in the List.For ExampleEmpfänger column Library: Group 1;Group 2referenceList: "Empfänger Gruppe" Group 1 with (Empfänger Pascal Sparla)        "Empfänger Gruppe" Group 2 with (Empfänger Bill Gates)He should get Pascal and Bill which he can store in a Collection so he can send the email.I start the Workflow with a regular expression to store the data from the column Empfänger (library) in a Collection.Then i use a For each where i use this collection and store the values in a Text Variable.A Query List on the ReferenceList ist the next step where

I have a project where documents are created in a library. On item creation a task gets created, this task gets assigned to an AD group, the reason for it being set up this ways was so that anyone from the group can answer the task. Delegation is enabled so that the team lead can delegate the task to a user.Now the team lead wants the ability to assign a task to muliple people. The users will always vary, for one task the team lead may assign 3 people and for another they want to assign 5. Is this even a possibility?I know you can delegate to one person but I don't see a way to delegate to mutilple people.Thank you!!Rency

I have created a workflow and the group of approvers has "Contribute" permissions on the whole site.Despite this, the approver can not approve the task.After clicking on "Approve" on the task form, the error message is : "Sorry, you don't have access to this page", and the task is not approved.Thank you for your help.

Hi,My workflow is a simple one, It has two parallel actions, and, according to established criteria (left branch and right branch) it updates fields and set permissions. It works fine, however when parsed in the Nintex Workflow Analyzer show “Workflow does not correctly handle batching”.When I remove the permission boxes, the batching error does not appear.I would like to know how to handle correctly the batch without starting new workflows with set permissions? Example:  ThanksMerildo

I want the form to generate a statement using some elements from calculated values, then save it as a multi line text field. Something like:"I, [user name], hereby declare...Signed,[User Name][User department]"Unfortunately i can't seem to find a way to include either the UserLookup() function in the default value of a MLTB or in a Label or way to reference the content of a calculated value field in either.Has anyone else encountered anything like this?
