Hi,I have an issue and it seems I can't find a general solution.I need to report some timestamps regarding Workflow Tasks for specific workflows. After each Task, using the Task ID I query the Workflow Task list and save the Created and Modified dates into variables. If I write these variables then into WF history log, the date is correct.But after that I want to create a new Item into a "Report" list in which I store this dates too from the variables. For some reason in the list teh created Item's value is 2 hours more then it was in the variable...I use this action at least 50 places across multiple workflows...  Server times are correct.We are in UTC+2, Time Zone, maybe that's the key but I don't know how to modify easily, without changing everywhere the workflows.Any idea?Thanks in advance!Robert

Hi all,  I want to hide the navigation bar and suitebar to show the form only. Hence, here is what I did. I am using Bootstrap modal to embed the classic form inside. And I navigated to: 1. Settings (gear icon)  2. Edit Page 3. Insert Web Part > Media and Content > Script Editor > Edit snippet   Here is the code:  <style type="text/css">     #s4-ribbonrow, .ms-cui-topBar2, .s4-notdlg, .s4-pr s4-ribbonrowhidetitle, .s4-notdlg noindex, #ms-cui-ribbonTopBars, #s4-titlerow, #s4-pr s4-notdlg s4-titlerowhidetitle, #s4-leftpanel-content {display:none !important;}     #sideNavBox { display: none }     #contentBox { display: table; margin: 0 auto; }     #suiteBar { display: none } </style>   However, the form does not display properly as attached. I have to refresh it in order to make the form more readable and properly displayed. The solution that I seek for is to make the form displayed properly without the need to refresh.    Please help. 

I have a Nintex 2013 workflow where I want a user to approve a document (using the Request Approval action) but I don't want to give them the ability to overwrite the document file when the approval request comes to the user.   Can the user approve the document with just Read access to the document library? Thanks Andy

I have a request to archive SharePoint library (InfoPathform) items to a SQL database using Nintex workflow.  Is there a way to use “Execute SQL” workflow action to write data from a library to SQL database? Currently on Nintex 2013 and SharePoint on Prem.  Any help on how I can accomplish this will be helpful. Thanks for your help in advance!

We are on prem 2013, and I have 1 lookup list with three separate columns looking up to that one list. I also have three separate single line of text fields to allow users to choose at up to six Vendor options. We want users to pick at least two - - any two. I need a formula that would require two out of the six fields. See image. Thanks!  

All,SharePoint/Nintex on-premI've built a form which now the end user wants to user various fields from to query a 3rd party api to 'search and retrieve' further information.The token api accepts post/get values. I believe I can use a web request control ? One part of the request requires a string to be md5 encrypted. Does nintex workflow do this automatically or can it be done using the workflow?ThanksAndrew

I have a form that has multi line text with the Append changes to existing text” enabled. I created a workflow that sends a notification if somebody comments on the item. I would like the notification to include the name of the person who made the comment in the multiple line text box. There are no fleci tasks in this workflow. Thanks!

Hi all   I have searched through the forum and havent found exactly what I'm looking for.   I have a list created which based off a choice column hides other specific columns, there are also fields hidden to view in edit mode only.   I need to make all columns within the full list required. How can I do this as many hidden fields will not have data input. Based off initial choice column.   Thanks in advance Simon

I am desperately trying to get Lazy Approval working within my farm. We run SharePoint 2016, on premise, along with Nintex Forms and Workflow (2016).  We have 2 x web front end servers, and 2 x app servers. The 2 x WFE servers are load balanced using Kemp Load Balancer.  We also run Exchange 2016 on premise.  All set up is, I think, correct as far as configuration in Central Administration. I have the SMTP service set up on both the app servers and configured accordingly.  I have a dummy workflow for testing, I get the task through via email, I respond with a term - i.e. approve. The mailbox gets the email (I added my user to the mailbox with full permission so I could see) but nothing else happens on the workflow. What am I missing? Guidance is hazy at best.  Really would like this up and running but keeping on hitting dead ends. Help!

Is it possible to create a Nintex Search form that when you click a "Search" button it would display the results of the list it is searching?     Thanks Kim

I recently was editing a form in Nintex Forms Designer and when I went to preview my changes it only brought back the HTML code not the view of the form.   I tried opening the preview in different browsers but I still got the same result.  Other forms I have created do not do this. Does any one know what I might of done to cause this and how I could fix it.   When I publish the form I can open it with no issues on the SharePoint site.   Thanks  

My workflow has a few instances where it calculates a date and builds a string that includes that date.  When I run the workflow, the first instance completes correctly, but the second, which occurs after a Flexi-task is completed, does not.  Based on other posts, I added Commit Pending Changes actions, but that doesn't fix the problem.  The weird part is that the workflow status shows the incomplete items as green. Here's the first instance that completes correctly:   Here's the workflow history:   Any ideas on how to get the 2nd Update Item action to work?

Hello,   I'm very new to Nintex workflows and Nintex forms. I am trying to create a column in my SharePoint list that shows how many days it has been since an item was created and then would like to go on to show how many days that item has been "assigned" and "active". Is there a workflow that I could create that would update a "days open" column? I have only been able to create a workflow that sends out notifications when an item is created or resolved that is the current extent to my knowledge.   Thank you for any help you can provide!!!

Hello,   I need to create a control number of sorts on my form based on an identifier in another dropdown.

I have attached an example.   Thanks in advance!

Hi, Using Nintex Forms, when I try to create a rule for a lookup field (pulled in from a different SP list) the rule does not work.  I've tried hide and disable.  This is what the last iteration looks like.  The Bank Account field is  the lookup field in the form.   

Hi, Everyone. I am fairly new with Nintex. Can someone please help me. I have two lists and I have repeating section on both lists, identical repeating sections. List 1 is a maintenance list where I get the employee's dependents. And list 2 is a form where I need to get the dependents from list 1. However, I am not allowed to pre-create a form (list 2 item) after adding an item on the maintenance list (list 1). I know it is easier to do that using a workflow, but really not an option. Is there a way to pre-populate the new item form with the dependents from my maintenance list? Please help. Thank you so much.

Hi everyone,I'm working on a project aiming the automation of some IT processes like resources provisioning (new user, new mailbox, new Team in MS teams, etc.) and also management of those resources (adding/removing an user to AD groups, reset password, etc.).There are lots of actions in Nintex that can help us, and for some specific features we can also use powershell.However, my question is in regards of Nintex Forms. Can I query AD and show the results in forms?E.g.: As a local IT representative I can see a list of users in my branch. I can select one of the users and see the AD groups this person is a member. Then I can add or remove him/her to the groups.Any ideas or experience to share? Thank you very much!
