Hi everyone, I am working on a workflow that the users need to get 3 approvals for one shipment. After they get all 3 approvals about 1 month, the workflow will send an email to remind requestor regarding this shipment. I have tried action "Pause Until ...", made it wait about 1 month after users get the final approval, then workflow will send an email to remind. It worked well.   However, the thing is, during the month that workflow waits for reminding users, the approver can rethink and reject that shipment. In this case, the workflow of that shipment should stop waiting and do not send any reminder, but no, the workflow still sends an approval reminder to requestor. I figured out that the workflow is not completed when we use action "Pause Untill ...". So once the shipment is revised and rejected, the workflow is still awaiting for the next action which we no longer need in this case.   In conclusion, can I use any alternative action of "Pause Untill ..." that will trigger an action

 Symptoms The worklist control custom filter set during design time can be maipulated during runtime by a user and the custom filter will not longer be visible for that user who changed it during runtime.   Diagnosis Custom filter configured in the design time, will apply to all users, and  if a user decide to customize filter in runtime this will be saved as user preference and the custom filter set during runtime will be ignored for this particular user.   Solution First Solution - Remove worklist control, re-add control and reconfigure the filter, then disable the filter icon so that no one can make changes in to the filter in runtime ensuring that the custom filter is applied everytime the form runs. Second Solution -The filter will be saved in the following table per user profile -Table: Form.UserSetting-Column: Name-Value: wlFilterConfig_[GUID] If you delete the user filter from there, K2 will pick up the design time filter  

Hi,   I'm trying to implement tabs(hide and show panels) on a classic form. I have to add same column on multiple tabs, I tried to disable the column if the current panel is not selected but it is not saving the value from that column. Anybody implemented this?

I'm getting this error when Saving and publishing a form.  I've seen other posts but no resolution.  I've turned off all the Rules and get the same error and there are no Technical details to troubleshoot.

I have a form (A) with a 'List Lookup' to another list (B).  If the user can't find what they need in drop down on (A) I have a label 'insert new item' which pushes the user to list B to enable them to add an entry in a new window.  Once I add new line and return to original form (A) the new entry from list B is not visible in the drop down.    Is there an easy way to refresh form A?  When I close form A and reopen, the new entry is visible for the user.  I do not have direct access to workflow so this is not the preferred solution but could be accepted as I have indirect access.   Cheers Paul

Hi All,   I'm new with Nintex (on-prem with Sharepoint) and tried following this blog post to create my three-tier cascading drop downs: Three-Tier Cascading Drop Downs: Do Go Chasing Waterfalls! The only issue, one of my lists depends on the other two drop-down criteria :smileysad:. Which would've been List C on that blog post. Any tips or advice would be helpful. Here's my example:   Here's more details to what my columns are in my list (just for example): Category "List A" (Cookies, Candy, Ice Cream) Type "List B" (Homemade or Bought) Factor "List C" (Choice - *different explanations*)   I would like to know if it's possible if depending on my first drop-down (Category) I choose "Cookies" and second drop-down (Type) I choose "Homemade", it will automatically filter the third drop-down (Factor) to have a specific list of explanations only if those choice combinations are chosen that I can pick from. Same thing goes for other choice combinations, it will filter the "Factor" drop-down

Hello,   I'm new to using Nintex, please bear with me if I'm not making any sense :smileysad:. I'm using on-prem SharePoint and Nintex. I have one SharePoint list which contains all of the columns I need to create the form. I've tried researching, but couldn't find a confirmed answer if it's possible to create cascading drop-downs using one list. I've seen many examples which uses two or more lists, but if doing so, it would be difficult to manage for someone else. Also, is it must that a lookup column is used?   Here's more details to what my columns are in my list (just for example): Type (Choice - Cookies, Candy) Category (Choice - Homemade, Boxed, Fresh) Factor (Choice - *different explanations*)   I would like to know if it's possible if depending on my first drop-down (Type) I choose "Cookies" and second drop-down (Category) I choose "Homemade", it will filter the third drop-down (Factor) to have a specific list of explanations only if those choice combination are chosen that I c

I need to have a popup window on my task form to allow users to see the list of documents belonging to them. I have tested the following link on a web part page and pasted it into the description section of the To-Do task: <a onclick="return openDialog('{Common:WebURL}/Pages/Documents.aspx?rid={ItemProperty:ID}',1000,800)" href="javascript:void(0);" target="_blank"><font face="arial" size="2">View Documents </font></a></b> However once the task form is created clicking the link does nothing. Upon inspection of the element I see that the link has rendered like this: <a target="_blank"><font face="arial" size="2">View Documents </font></a> So what am I doing wrong? Is there another way to accomplish what I need (open an existing page in a pop-up window? Or is this just not possible from the task form?

I have two lists in SharePoint 2016.  When I create a dynamic form in one it shows, as I'd expect, a form of four columns width.  When I create a dynamic form in the other, even though it previews as four columns wide, it only ever displays as a two columns wide.  I am using the same site and the same monitors.   Any suggestions gratefully received Paul

I am having problem with coping the task attachment to the main form. I found a UDA developed by Nintex Guru Vadim Tabkman called "VT Get List Item Attachment".   It would be appreciated if anybody can guide me to download this UDA and import into my workflow.   Thanks in advance.

Hello All, I am new to Nintex. I came across a strange problem and haven't been able to solve it by reading other posts. Hope one of you could help me. Intention here is to have a SharePoint list to book seats/desks in office (necessitated by COVID-19 social distancing). I have created a simple form, and connected the Seat and Date fields from different lookup lists (Date because I want to control which dates are allowed to book). Now I am using a Calculated Value Control to combine Seat and Date to create a unique identifier. Idea is that if this identifier exists already in the SharePoint list, the user won't be allowed to book it again. For this, I have an invalidate rule connected to the Calculated Value Control. The rule is as follows:   Now, the logic works, which means if the string exists, the Save button doesn't save the data and stays back on the form!! Once the date or seat selection is changed, then Save works if the new string doesn't exist.   But the PROBLEM starts on th

We use Nintex Workflow to create tasks as part of a change process that required signoff by multiple parties and this is then reflected in the form via a "list view" control that shows the outcome and comments.   For the most part this work fine, however some of the tasks seem to disappear and therefor the list view control appears empty even though the tasks have been completed. We can review the comments in the workflow history however this is a very cumbersome way of reviewing the comments.    Firstly, is there any explanation as to why this might be happening?   Secondly, is there a way to stop it from happening?    Thank you in advance for your help.

i have created reminders for a workflow task assigned for the approvers to approve. It sends total of 15 reminders (1 reminder each in 3 days interval excluding Sat & Sunday). Now what I want is that when the approver gets a reminder email, it does not show which # of reminder (For eg: 2nd reminder/3rd reminder) has been triggered. Can someone pls help on this.

I've been creating variables (Person/Group, where I've added a few colleagues in). I noticed that when I create my variable, let's call it "Owners Group" in Workflow A, it will not appear in Workflow B, C, D, Etc. or any other workflows I need to be in.    Instead I've noticed I have to create the same variable in every workflow I end up working in... Is there any way that I can make these variables I've created in one workflow to show up in other workflows?   Any help would be appreicated, thank you!   FYI: It's about 20+ workflows I'd need to create the same variable in over & over again and looking to see if there's a way to just create it one time. 

Hello, my problem is a really simple one.I have a list of Projects (List A), where every item is a project.   I have a column for the items called "Proposals Requests". This column is set as "Enhanced Rich Text", "Multiple Lines of Text" and "NO to Append Changes". It's purpose is to register every request made to that specific project.   What i want to do is a workflow to add an input on this column, like a new paragraph on top of the text, instead of using Append Changes (this would work better for a number of reasons).   For this purpose i have created another list called "Register a Request" (List B). This list works like a Form, where the user should insert all the info about the REQUEST itself, like selecting the project.   A Workflow will then be triggered when a REQUEST is added to LIST B, would pick up all the info, build a string and save it on the selected project in LIST A, in the column "Proposals Requests".   The Workflow will first save the content from the "Proposals Re

I have three number columns in the SharePoint list and created a Nintex form for the same. While filling the form, the first two columns must add up and reflect the sum in the third box.   How can I achieve this?   I am trying to use the calculated value action item to add one and two and store in three but unable to get the result.

Hi all, we have been using Nintex and SharePoint in prem for a while now, and as everyone else we have decide to move to SPOnline. Just wondering what would be happen to Nintex. Is there a SPOnlin version of Nintex and if yes how it works? Regards 

I have a very simple workflow that is used to send an email notification that is started manually.  I wanted to know if it is possible to have the "From" field auto populate the name of the person starting the workflow.       I tried looking at the "Lookup" options but they are relevant to the form.  Is there a way to get the WF fields.     Thanks in advance for any suggestions.        

I currently have a form with a validation rule on a check box.   Validation Rule = FieldName !=="Yes"                 If the check box is not checked it will highlight in red, but once the check box checked it still stays red and it is not acknowledging that its now checked so it wont allow the submitter to save the form.     Is there something that I need to add besides the validation rule to the check box?    

I have a calculated value in a repeating section that runs a lookup formula that outputs a value based on a lookup control populated via JavaScript and also found in the repeating section.  My problem is that the calculated control does not run (stays blank) once the lookup is populated via JavaScript.  However, when I manually enter the value, the calculated control works properly.   Does anyone know why this happens and how I can fix it?

I have a need to update some of the tag data associated with documents within a document set. I have been able to identify the ID of the particular document in question, and have configured the "Update Item" action like this:This runs with no error, however the HiddenDateExp field does not get updated. In reading through other posts, it seems that it's not possible to update items within a document set. Can someone confirm this? Is there another way to achieve this? BTW, this is happening within a site workflow that checks for the expiry date of a document -- thanks to  for this very helpful post: Site Workflow - Document Review Date Approaching Reminders . I am running Nintex Workflow 2010 Standard, on premise.Thanks very much!

Has anyone had any experience working with Azure Blob storage through Nintex Workflow on-prem?We're needing to research a possible solution for having a workflow trigger on a file/image upload in an on-prem SharePoint library. That workflow would then push the the image out to the Azure Blob storage, grab the file's new link, and post that link to a links list.Is this even possible? I didn't see an action in the Live Catalog, but is there anything using a web service or API?Before you ask, yes, I know Flow might be a better option, but it's not available in the Government tenant yet so, we're looking into alternative options.
