Happy Holidays! So I have a SP13 list to where when a end user completes a task it clears out some of the data and resets for the next review. I have used a calculated date action to move the due date 30 days but sometimes this lands on a weekend. My problem is, that when this date does land on a weekend, I move it forward to the next business day (Monday). As you can imagine, this will change the due dates every time and eventually could lead to the due date being the following month. My workaround for this is that instead of advancing to the next business day, I will move the next due date to the previous business day (Friday). But...I wanted to see if there was a way for Nintex to know that it should be the 15th of the month, even if the prior month had to be moved to the prior business day because of the weekend/holiday. Hope this makes sense. Thanks!‌

Dear all,I have a client requierement asking for adding the tasks automatically on the timeline each time a new task is created.I have a Nintex worklfow that is creating tasks on a task list when a user create a new "project" on another list. The tasks are well created on the task list, but... Do you know if there's a way to automatically show up the new tasks into the timeline? The client don't want to be forced to manually add the tasks each time a new one is generated by the workflow.And yes, I've already found this post, but completelly useless due the explanation of the followed procedure is really bad.Dinusha's Blog: Programmatically add tasks to timeline in SharePoint 2013 Tasks list Thank you in advance!Best regards,
Hi, I'm unable to set a people control in my form to accept only AD groups. I've tried going to the Control Settings and selecting only security groups as entities to include after disconnecting the control from the list column. But, When I reconnect the control to the list column (type: person/group), I don't see this option anymore. Is there any way to make a people control accept only AD groups? Thanks in advance.Â
 Symptoms How to register Web Service endpoint with both URL and WSDL (Web Services Description Language) URL?Assume you are trying to connect web services to K2 via "web service endpoint" service broker.In previous versions of "web service endpoint" broker (prior to 4.6.11) it was possible to register an instance with both URL and WSDL-URL ("?wsdl"). With current (latest) version only URL can be entered and "?wsdl" is automatically added by the "Add Service Instance" window/wizard.If your web services do not show info using WS-Addressing with "?wsdl" you may first point the URL to a web service which explicitly describes that WS-Addressing, and later update the instance to a WSDL URL, but in then the resulting instance will have the WS-Addressing information removed which causes problems for web services which expect WS-Addressing.The customer wanted to know if there was a fix or workaround for this available. Diagnoses If you use the Endpoint WebService broker you register the Servic

 Symptoms  Users are constantly experiencing the following error on the smart forms. The issue only occurs for 5-7 users. The error states Impersonate Session Security Context. Cannot be called in this batch because a simultaneous batch has called it.  Diagnoses  The issue was caused by missing "User login name" property for these users in AD. They only had filled in the "User logon name (pre-Windows 2000)" field. As a result, the value of "CustomUserID" field for the table "[HostServer].[SecurityCredentialCache]" is set to Null for these users.  Resolution Updating the "User login name" property for these users and clearing IE Cache resolved the issue.  Â

Hi, I'm having trouble getting my format in a Word Document correct. the basic workflow does this1) read a SharePoint list of users into a collection variable.2) Read the collection variable and gather First Name, Last Name, etc3) Build a Word Document to create a contact list in a tableWe then have created a document with Plain Text Content Controls, which the "Update Document" Step is populating.The problem we are having is that the Content Control is being populated as a single line, instead of putting each entry on a new line. Screenshot BelowWe have tried the following to troubleshoot:1) logged the string output in the Workflow History. it output shows each entry is correctly on a new line (I.E the issue is not the "Build String" step). This is how we would like to see the output in the MS Word Document.2) in MS Word, changed to a Real Text Content Control. This yielded funny results         I) we then got each result on a new line as required         II) However, we then seem t
Hi all,When building a form to be used with Nintex Mobile, it is very easy to let the user use her device's camera to take a photo and annotate it (draw on it), and then have it attached to the item.However, when using the desktop form on my device (iPad, Android etc), I can still create an attachment using the camera, but I don't get an option to edit or annotate the image.Any ideas on how to accomplish this?RegardsLeif
Hi all,I am creating todo tasks in a workflow. I have two issues in this regard:1) When I look at the resulting tasks I do not have an easy option to "Mark task as complete" like I do on "standard" Sharepoint tasks, where there is a checkbox directly in the list view, that I can just check, and the the task's completeness is automatically set to 100%. Instead the user needs to edit the task item, and put "100" in the progress field. Not so user friendly I think.2) When I look at the item list (the original item, on which the workflow is running, and to which the generated todo task is related), I want to provide the user with an easy way to open the related task and mark it as complete.Please provide any views and input related to these two issues - and other issues related to the whole "todo task" concept :-)RegardsLeif

 Symptoms Our K2 Server was recently renamed and in addition, so was our K2 database.After this occurred, I was attempting to change the sort order on Get List method for a SmartBox SmartObject that was created before the server was renamed, and when I tried to save, the spinning icon did not stop. I contacted our K2 Server Administrator, and upon further inspection, the log file shows it is attempting to contact the old K2 database. I have attached the error file.Javascript error "Invalid XML" in the browser console. Diagnoses N/A Resolution Issue is due to the special character of the smartobject property (and). If customer update the Date and Time Generated property to Data Time Generated, then the error does not occur.We have opened a bug regarding this issue.Â
