I am trying to setup a training registration form (CF Training), with 5 specific sessions available as radio buttons that a user can select from. Once a specific session has been selected 10 times, this option should be disabled or user should see a message indicating that the session is overbooked.   I can write a workflow to update another list (CF Counter) with a running counter against each session, and use lookup on the registration form to display how many times that session has been chosen.   What I am wondering is if there is another way to count this number from within CF Training list itself?   

I have an Employee training form that has multiple calculated lookup values from list A. When selecting a name  in the form, job title, badge number, date of hire will auto populate. This works fine, however what I’m trying to do is to find a way to get the list view updated with the calculated values.  For example I enter a record for John Smith  his position gets updated, badge number is empty because he didn’t have a badge number assigned in my list A.I go to list A and add his badge number, then I go to the employee training view and badge number for his record is empty.If I open the form I can see badge number calculated and if I save it , badge number is updated in the list view. (Connected to ID single line of text) . I don’t want to go and open and save each record in order to get the calculated value displayed on the list view. Is there a way to trigger or workflow action to force all items to update calculated values on the view. Any help is appreciated.

Hi   I am trying to upload an XML document into a document library in SharePoint 2013 on prem, I am reading XML content from a list and uploading a document in the document library with that XML as content. I could not find any action in Nintex 2013. Can anybody help?   I have looked into SOAP web service action but that required encoding which I don't think available in Nintex OOTB. Is there any other way?

Hi team,   I have a workflow that creates an item in another list (on another site) and runs it through a workflow from that other list. Once its done I have some values I would love to update back into the original list on the original site but I believe I need to give the initiator permissions to update that record. I am saving the items ID in the new workflow and wanted to match on ID when updating item. I do see a set permission drop down with options to set permissions on items in lists within the same site but any solutions for updating from another site?   Thank!

I want to build a nintex workflow, which has folder and subfolders. The workflow will be triggered on the basis of folder names. For example: If "A" is the main folder and "B" is a sub-folder within "A", and if I upload any document in "A" the email will be triggered to specific group people. Similarly, if I upload a document in folder "B",  the email will be triggered to specific group people. Could you please help to solve this. Thank you!

Hi All,    I'm curious is anyone has an opinion on pros and cons of ShareGate and AvePoint for migrating SharePoint sites with Nintex Forms and Workflows. Do you like one over the other? Why?   Thanks for your thoughts! Michael

Hi everyone,   I use nintex Xtension to interact with Google Sheet V4 API. In the body request I need to send JSON structure, but I don't know how to Build a JSON. The structure that I want to build is a json multi dimensional array, (an Array of Array). For exemple :  [["Val1.1","Val1.2],["Val2.1","Val2.2"]] In the action "Add item to collection" we can't add collection, only text, int...   anyone knows how to achieve this ?

Is there any videos on how to use Nintex People Picker? Just simply adding the People field box is not enough. Although the field works, when looking at the SharePoint in view mode a name shows as #<●€•□%&÷,' instead of the name that shows in Nintex. Frustrating! Have to find secret codes!

I am trying to use the action item Update Multiple Items to set a date field to blank.  It works fine if I use Update Item, but I would like to use the multiple item action item for the error handling capabilities.  In the Update Item action item (the one that works) I was able to set the Date to a value and then leave the value blank.  It works as expected. However, on the Update Multiple Items, when doing the same, it errors out.  In the Update Multiple Items I tried using lookup and setting it equal to a value in another list that I created just to have a blank date value.  It also resulted in an error.  Any suggestions?  Thank you.

We have an intermittent error where a workflow attempts to edit an existing Excel workbook using excelservice.asmx OpenWorkbookForEditing. The error says "Someone else has the workbook checked out or opened in Excel; it can't be edited in the browser", but we have made absolutely sure that it is neither checked out nor open anywhere and still get this error. I don't think the Call Web Service action configuration is the problem since it does work for other items, but for what it's worth here it is: The variable slt_Filename does not contain "?Web=1".

Hi, I am getting "Sorry something went wrong" error while trying to view/edit the item in Nintex form which the item is having attachments.   There are almost 10 attachment controls are placed on the form which the data can be submitted successfuly without error but I am getting error while trying to view/edit the items especially for pertaining attachments.   Please help me in this issue on priority.

Hi, i am using Nintex Forms 2016 for Sharepoint on prem.   My form has an attachment control which allows the user to upload attachments. The form works as expected in new and edit mode.   The issue arises when the item permission is read only and when i click on the item, i get a "Sorry something went wrong error from Sharepoint" (attached image).   When i remove the attachment control, the form can be viewed when item permission is read only.   Anyone can advise?

Hi, After item gets created in the list,list permission inheritance should be broken. For this I am not able to see the suitable action under Provisioning. Please let me know if I am missing anything. Regards, Sudheer

There are many calculated fields on form where each gets value from different Multi line controls. Previously this was connected to Single line column and was working as expected. But now client has requested that they may enter long description and so we change the column type in SharePoint list to Multi Line Text. Post that the Connected to property for Calculated column is showing as Not Connected. Please refer below screen shot. Column11, Column21... are all Multi line controls on form. Please advise some solution to overcome this problem.  

In this workflow, there are two state machines - one nested within the other. The first state machine routes a request based the field 'JIB Type' -- either Temporary or Permanent. And the second state machines nested inside are for switching between the approval processes for the JIB Types.   The states change appropriately until the last state where once approved, it shows the 'Change State' action to End State Machine executes successfully, but the last approval task just keeps getting recreated.   

Hi,   I am trying to find a way to set the "Workflow error notifications" settings via Code or Script (_layouts/15/NintexWorkflow/ErrorNotifications.aspx?scope=web) on a SharePoint 2016 onPrem. We have multiple sites, that have different email addresses, that the error notifications have to be sent to.   As the site creation is automated, I need a way to set those values via Code (c# or powershell).    I already looked into the nwadmin.exe tool and the Configure Settings Option, but the “NintexWorkflowSetup.xsd" doesn't seem to mention any entry about Workflow error notifications.   Any ideas how I could achieve this ?     Cheers, Jan

I am new to SharePoint and Nintex workflows.  I configured a workflow with a "pause until" that looks at a date field and if the date field matches the current date the workflow should continue.  However, the "pause until" continues even though the date/current date does not match.  What am I missing?

Hello, i currently have site with a couple of nintex workflows 2013, some are site workflows others are list workflows, i need to Export this site and import it into a sub site under the main site collection. i'm doing the following steps: 1) PrepareSiteForExport 2) Export-SPWeb 3) Import-SPWeb 4) FixSiteAfterImport    Everything seems to be working with exception of the listdata.svc service one the list on the new imported site. This list has a couple of workflows associated and if i remove one of this workflows the listdata.svc starts working again. I try to create a new list workflow but that also breaks the listdata.svc.

Hi together,I'm coming with a quite simple question - I guess - but I somehow can't find the best/easiest way to achieve that.I have a form with a dropdown column 'column1' which has a few choices. In my case it's about the amount of memory (8GB, 12GB, 24GB, .... 128GB). Now I have another column 'column2' where I want to set a value, already in the new form, depending on the choice of column1. E.g. if column1 equals 8GB or 12GB than set column2 to value 'AAA'. If column2 equals 24GB or 36GB than set value column2 to 'BBB' and so on.I tried to do it with an additional list and lookup fields and with calculated fields without success. I guess there must be a quite simple solution vor that, but i can't see it Thanks in advance for any help.

So i really need help and i do really need one. I try to fix the problem for several days and it is not solved at all.  It's kind of frustrating for me to fix this problem, because it is not my code in the first place and i never code in JavaScript Nintex before. Here is my problem: I'm using SharePoint 2016 and Nintex for master data processing.When the application want to retrieve some information and store it in repeating section. The previous programmer before me, always add below code in order to reset the repeating section before store the data inside it.   NWF$(".RepeatingSectionCSS .nf-repeater-row").each(function(index) { if (index != 0) { $(this).remove(); } }); // re-create the first row NWF$(".RepeatingSectionCSS .ms-addnew").click();   The PROBLEM is, all validation within the form is not working at all.I got this error message from console.log: I already try to add ValidatorOnLoad() inside NWF.FormFiller.Events.RegisterRepeaterRowAdded based on sugge

on my, on perm SharePoint development farm, I have created a list, workflows and forms how can I transfer into a production environment?   Many Thanks
