I am trying to retrieve a list of users from Dynamics  CRM based off a Team GUID. I'm not totally familiar with Dynamics CRM, but from what I can tell the Relationship Entity Name is teammembership,  yet that doesn't seem to be exposed in the CRM service objects. How would I go about getting users by a team Guid?

 Symptoms Customer had created a simple workflow with a default activity which had the service account as the destination user and checked the checkbox to notify participants when they receive a work item. Upon deploying it, the service account did not receive the email as they had expected. Diagnoses Diagnosis: When SmartActions is enabled, the service account is not able to receive notifications. If smartActions is needed, a different account must be used as the destination user in order for the account to receive notifcations. If smartActions is not needed, then disabling smartActions should result in the service account being able to receive notifications. Resolution Resolution: Customer needed smartActions enabled so another account was used for the workflow and resulted in the workflow working properly. 

Hi CommunityOnly just started working with Nintex Workflow & Nintex Forms and have searched through all similar threads but cant quite find the right logic or solution to what I believe would be a common scenario.I have a Workflow where one section is a list of Departments and the user can Check multiple selections.I want each selection to do a list lookup to an Approvers list and then populate this looked up value into an aggregated Approvers List. The approval process is then sent to this list.So basically each selection will just add an additional approver based on the department selected.Sounds simple but I'm banging my head against a wall on how to achieve it.Any guidance would be great.

 Symptoms On the source environment, we "appified" a list, created a solution against that list, and used the "auto generated rules" to add attachments to a SharePoint list. After deploying the package to the target environment, the form was not functional anymore. Diagnoses It seems as if the rules behind the "when add attachment button is clicked" action, got "split up" into two separate actions.The rules behind this button, is opening a sub-view, then the user will browse for an attachment, then the sub-view would close, and finally write some info to the attachment list view. (The above is working fine in the "source environment".)Initially, there were 3 or 4 rules AND a "close the sub-view" rules behind the button. Post deployment (On the target environment), there is now only a "close the sub-view" rule behind the button.In addition to that, there is now a NEW (Un-configured) rule that has been added to the form rules. The "other 3 or 4 rules" that WERE behind the "when add attac

Greetings:I've spent a good deal of time developing Nintex forms and workflows in a test environment (QA) while my IT team was setting up a separate SharePoint farm as a production environment.  Now I'm in the process of moving the work that I've done to the new environment and am finding it very labor intensive due to the many changes I have to make in controls that specifically refer to the QA environment.  Are there best practices for making this task easier, e.g., using form and workflow variables or workflow constants instead of hard coding path names in the controls' configuration?Thanks,Bruce

I have a workflow in Visual Studio that starts when an item is added to a SP document library, however there are some exceptions as to when it should actually start.  I need to pass data into a datafield in order to determine if the workflow should begin.  Is it possible to call a smartobject method and map the return property to a data field within the process start rule?  Any detailed information would be appreciated.

 Symptoms K2 Upgrade to 4.7 : Error icon showing for K2 BlackPearl Server Diagnoses While running the setup for upgrade, it shows error icon for K2 BlackPearl Server. After the process completes, not able to get to K2 designer or any forms.At the point when it error out, there was a message "post upgrade SQL" as i captured in one of the screen shot. Resolution A total of three fixes were need to alleviate a series of issues. The first fix was that in which was provided via .1 installer, and the second fix force updated the sp2013 iteration flagged in the db that was preventing the .kspx to deploy. The third fix was a .exe that deployed a new iteration of the k2 for sharpoint.kspx in which issues with an else statement were alleviated.

Hi all!I am creating a workflow and I have a 'run parallel actions' action in it. In the end of every branch there is a review.The first review goes to the person with index 0 in a person collection, the second review to the second person in the collection,.. (up to 7 in total)What happens is (I tried it with 2 persons) that both reviews create a task (which is good), but if one person closes the task it still stays open (and in the workflow history it says 'pending'). When the second person closes the task, the task of the first person closes, but the task of the second person stayes open (I waited an hour or something and it is still open..)Why is that? Why does my task close when someone else closes their task? Any idea how I can find the problem? Thanks a lot!

Hi,I have a nintex form which has a staff members appraisal information.

 Symptoms  Client event notification does not work with the following error:   24149 The User properties are not available when the plan option on the activity is set to 'Plan Just Once'   Error message can be found in process error profiles and in ClientRecorder table.  Diagnoses  Once you located specific error details you can see root cause of the issue in error message text itself: you are trying to use user properties (specifically email) while using activity destination planning option configured as 'Plan Just Once'.   User properties depicted below (Name, Display Name, Email, Description, Label, FQN, Manager) can not be used when the destination planning option is set to Plan just once (Default).      Changing the destination planning option to Plan Per Destination will resolve the error.  Resolution Issue can be resolved by changing the destination planning options to Plan Per Destination.   

Is there any known limitation about saving data with Nintex workflow form ?I have a form which has a Repeating section within another Repeating section.

I'm tasked with getting data from the K2 database server for all active workflow instances so that users can run a query of all workflow instances that are currently active and notify the appropriate user or group of users that they have tasks pending and prompt them to either agree to action the workflow task or to choose an outcome that would indicate the workflow instance can be canceled. The particular database is on SQL Server 2012, and has already been consolidated.  In searching the tables, the ProcInst table seems to have what I'm looking for, the currently active instances.  At least as a starting point, anyway. I'm not as versed on the coding aspect here, so looking for any advice anyone can provide at this point.

I have a list item where the item will be assigned to multiple assignee'sThe assignee's  must Approve or Rejected  All  assignee's must respondIf the assignee's choose Approve they must then complete a field called "Comments"First QuestionIf the assignee's select Approve am I forced to send them another email to complete the "Comments" field.  My hope was that I could have the assignee's complete the Comment field information immediately after choosing "Approve", but my assumption is that this is not a dynamic process and that I need to trigger another email requesting this information to be completed.Second QuestionCurrently I have the Workflow settings set to every-time an Item is created.  Is this the correct Workflow setting ?  My concern is if I put any actions after the Approve or Reject branch then the workflow will not work until I check off the On Modified" setting.  However, if I check off the modified setting then will an assignee notification email generate every time there

I have a workflow that supports two types of similar activities, in this example Type A and Type B. The first step of the state machine is to add detail to the request which varies by type. Once the information is added the state advances to an approval phase. The approval task is the same for both types A and B. Approvers receive flexi task emails for type A but do not receive emails for type B. Once approved, the state advances and emails are received for both types. What would prevent the flexi task emails for type B? The approval task is identical and does not distinguish between the two types. I have delete the approver flexi task and recreated it from scratch only to have the same issue persist. Ideas?

 Symptoms  The following error is being recorded to the event log around 10 times per second:   24148 The User Manager 127.0.0.1 returned an empty queue.  Diagnoses  Normally this error is logged when there is an empty role or group (this includes role which contains empty group). It can be a little bit difficult sometime to trace this error to specific empty role or group but generally this can be quite easily done as you supposed to know roles as well as subset of AD DS groups used by K2.   In case you are sure that you do not have any empty roles or groups then it can be caused by deleted roles which formerly were used by your processes. When a process uses a K2 role in a Destination Rule, it becomes a Destination Queue. The K2 role result becomes the users and/or groups which are linked to the Destination Queue. There is also a ProcInstDestQueue table which holds a relationship to a Process instance and DestQueue. When K2 processes are stopped or in error status, the K2Server Proce

(This happens using the SmartForms WorkList control.)  Diagnoses  This was a problem with the different times zones the users were in, relative to the time-zone of the K2Server.   This was identitfied as a know bug.  Resolution After applying the latest set of rollups to the dev and production environments, the issue was resolved. If you run into this issue on 4.6.11,   Please log a new support ticket and ask for the latest SmartForms rollup.     

Hello Mates,Can we integrate any Payment Gateway with K2 .If yes any references will be good.Thanks in advance.

Hi, Anyone know if there is a way of manually refreshing the K2 user cache using a process in v4.7? I have some code which works in v4.6.11, but when migrating over to v4.7 if gives me errors: 2 Error(s)(MaintainMembership) Process data field 'Data.Init.BasketMembershipID' does not exist.(MaintainMembership) The SmartObject 'PostScanning.BasketMetaData.BasketMembership' used in 'BasketMembership' could not be found.0 Warnings(s) I use the code to update the k2 cache when users are added/removed from AD groups, but the code doesn't work with v4.7

Users are reporting an issue where they are getting a visual indication that data is invalid when it is not, and the form is successfully submitted.  For example, the user clicks Submit then sees this:Despite the appearance of the boxes, no validation messages are shown at the top of the page, and form IS submitted successfully. Is this a known issue and are there any workaround to prevent this from occurring? 

Dear All, we have requirements to develop 4 stage approval process, using sharepoint list person or group people picker control. i able to create a single task creation for single user in the approval process. For mutiple users , I am not able to create two Task Parallel to the multiple users. can you please let me know if possible with sharepoint workflow integration client event. Thankskarthikeyan

I'm having an issue with nested repeating tables.The first outer repeating section works with the nested repeating section clicked several times as expected. When I click the outer repeating section, the next set of inner section(s), when clicked, will not show up until another outer repeating section is selected, and the previous inner sections overlaps it. It almost looks like a CSS problem. This happens with all browsers we use, (IE 10 & 11, Chrome and FireFox)
