Hi Everyone,   Using the on-prem Nintex 2013 and trying to generate an excel from a list using the document generation tool.  The table is produced as expected except that the columns designated for dates always show the base number format of dates (days since 1900. It should show the format set by the Nintex tagger (dateCollectionVariable__j). I've tried having the column formatted as a date or generic and get the same result.  Likewise I have template columns set for word wrap, and this is ignored in the produced file. What's weird about this though, is that in the new file, word wrap is shown as 'on' when i highlight the column. So if i click, it goes to the off state, stil no wrap, then click to on again and everything then wraps.  I would prefer not to use macros, and macros that run on file-open won't work with the document generation tool anyway.    Has anyone seen and solved this already?!? It's driving me bonkers trying to fix.    Thanks!

I read some columns from a table and write them in a text variable.   To make a better visiualisation i want tu use the "tabstopp". How can I use a tabstopp in a textbox?   Here I want use an "tabstopp" instat of "space":    

I'm trying to remove additional white spaces from pdf file generated via Print to PDF which is causing by noPrint panels. Can we apply hide rule in panel only while printing? I tried by setting visibility: hidden; in CSS, which did not helped either. Thank you in advance

I have a workflow that if started manually it does it's thing and will complete. But if I try having it start automatically when a field is modified it always says "In Progress" and never completes. 

I am new to Nintex workflows; however this site workflow should be pretty simple, at least I thought. I have a list that I want to run a daily workflow that will determine if "Followup Date" is equal to Today's Date. If so, then an email will be sent to the persons listed on that item's email field. Seems pretty straight forward; not sure why it's not working.

There are two similar questions to mine; however this is slightly different. I created a site workflow to query a list for all open requests that are past due (less than today). Each day an email will be sent until the request is closed. I thought this would be pretty straightforward after following the pattern of another post; but my workflow is failing right after For Each. Any assistance is appreciated.

I have a yes/no checkbox that is defaulted to No when new (Occupied). I have a people picker for the user name. I found a formula to require the people picker, which I applied to the Name field if yes which translates to true.  The one below works for that piece.  and(Occupied==true, isNullorEmpty({self})) Can I add an OR statement to ensure the people picker is empty if No?  

Hello,   Is it possible for the calculated control output to hold 2 different values?   First I enter a value 5 it should be outputted on the calculated control as 5,   Second I enter a value of 6 and the rate of exchange (ROE) of 5 and the calculated control should output as 30.   How can I add and multiply such that if no multiplication, it shall display the value and when multiplying with ROE it should also display the answer value?   I have name my checkbox Num1, Num2, Num3 to Num6, but my total output on the calculated control should be based on if I enter the only number in mun1 or sometimes num2 * value.   num1=num1 num2 * 20 = answer.   both num1 and answer are displayed on the control calculated output.   Can someone help me, please?    

Hi I am some trouble with a formula. I want to configure a text box to have a specific amount of numbers when another choice field is used. So far I have the below but its not working.   When the Entity choice field is populated I want the account number to have a specific amount of digits   Any help would be much appreciated   =IF(OR(AND(Entity="Entity 1",LEN(AccountNumber=14),AND(Entity="Entity 2",LEN(AccountNumber=11),AND(Entity="Entity 3",LEN(AccountNumber=8),AND(Entity="Entity 4",LEN(AccountNumber=8)))))),"Valid","Invalid")

I'm hoping to use a Nintex form on an iPad at a customer service desk for visitors to fill out.    I'm wondering if anyone else knows if it is possible for a form on an iPad to reload a new, blank form after a person has submitted an entry?   For example, a visitor fills out a visitor form on a desk iPad. They hit submit, the information on the form is sent to the list and a new, blank form is loaded on the iPad for the next visitor.   Thanks

Hello, I am a Nintex beginner and have a question: How to create a landing page for my Nintex form? With that I mean that after a user completes the form, hits "save", they are directed to a website, e.g. google.com and not the SharePoint list, where the user's input is saved. Thank you.

Hi. I need to be able to disable a submit button if any instance of a certain field in a repeating section is empty. I tried control name == "", but it only evaluated the first instance.  I can't find any formula that will give me any instance of control. Does anyone have a solution? Thanks in advance

Hi Everyone,   I'm relatively new to Nintex software but we have already had some great application of Promapp in my area.   Keen to connect with anyone else who uses Nintex platforms in the Recreation and Leisure spaces.   Hi from Victoria, Australia :)

I need to create a workflow which looks at 'ListA' loops through pending amounts and awarded amount, adds those together and then populates 'ListB' with the total.I have tried doing this with a site workflow but cannot get the one column in List B to populate with the value.Any help would be gratefully received

Hi,   I have a document library that i have the below extra columns: 1. Groupname (text) 2.Type (text) 3. Location (text) 4. Date (Date only) When a user uploads a file the above columns should be updated based on the extracted text from the filename.   I'm trying to extra the text from filename that is separated by "-" symbol. My filename will have the following format: Groupname-Type-location-date.pdf (extension can be docx or any other file extension) Date will be in format: ddmmyy (no symbols in between)   I was able to extract the first & second part but not the rest.1. For the first part (GroupName)i use the below code: (^.*?(?=-)) 2. For the second part (Type) i used the below code: (?<=-)[w ]+(?=)   Any body can help me how to extra the rest 3rd and 4th part? I'm not sure if it's correct but for each part i'm using a separate "regular expression" box in nintex workflow.   Thanks

Hi community,    i have build a big Nintex form with about 100 controls. 10 of them are list view controls, which are not visible when creating a new item.  The form needs about 15 sec to load (no matter if create new item or change item) and our users are not happy with the low performance.  For testing I deleted all list view controls. Result: The form loading time is much faster. It then takes about 4 sec. BUT: The list view controls are very much needed.  Deleting other time consumpting controls like calculated values or SQL-queries did not result in noticably faster form load.   Are there any other ways to optimize performance without me having to delete the list view controls? Again: they are a main part of the form and much needed.   Any help is very much appreciated.    Thanks

OK well I need a clear explanation! I know that we have several actions how to terminate / purge wf data. From Central Admin, by NWADMIN operations and by PS. But I need deeper explanation some of this actions. Always before Purge any data I have to terminate RUNNING and ERRORED wf's isn't it? After Terminated those data I can Purge HISTORY LIST and than HISTORY DB ok ? Actually I have more questions. For example: If I have deleted site/list and running wf's - how I can terminate ? If I use -movedata /backup/restore Site with all old sessions of WF's - how I can terminate & purge those data from restored SiteCollection ? Because If I use same list sometimes I get strange errors and if I look on list settings>settings of workflow and I see that there are many old version and also with number of running wf's. But when I show all running workflows from this site where list is, there were only new published wf's. Any idea how to terminate & purge those old (restored-deleted) dat

I am attempting to use a Site Collection Reusable Workflow Template associated with a content type and publish it from a Content Type Hub. I created the workflow template and associated it with the content type with no issues. I exported the workflow and imported it into the destination Team site using the same name. When I republish the content type it fails saying no workflow exists in the destination site with the correct ID. I tried editing the .xoml.wfconfig.xml file in the destination site changing the BaseID to match that of the workflow in the content type hub but still get the same error. I tried manually associating the workflow with the content type in the destination site but still get the same error when publishing the content type from the hub. Has anyone been able to successfully publish a content type from a hub with an associated Nintex workflow?

Hey Everyone,   I'm trying to submit my form, but it seems to be hangin on the Submit dialog.  I was thinking if it's related to the form changes i made, but I even reverted back to my old version of the form when it for sure worked, and it's still hanging.  Any thoughts?  Thanks so much!

I have sub issues hidden when certain Issues are selected. Is there a way to make the space disappear so the questions after it move up? This is SharePoint 2013

Can you copy the value of your list choice column to a calculated value field in a form without a workflow?  If yes please provide the formula. I have a status field for "In Progress" and "Complete". I want the end user to only view the field, but I will have the status column hidden in another part of the form for power users to choose the correct status. Thanks! 

 Symptoms K2 Host Windows Service does not run Diagnoses When I try to start the K2 Host Windows service it produces an error. It says: Windows could not start the K2 blackpearl Server service on Local Computer. Error 2: The system cannot find the file specified.I looked at the path and file and it was correct. I'm not sure if it is a permissions issue or maybe a group policy issue that is preventing the K2 host windows service from running. We are using a service account. We tried another username and password and it gives the same error.If I start the K2 blackpearl host through the console, it works fine. It's been working fine for the last two years.

It has a production license key.We need it to run as a windows service and not through the console. Resolution The network team applied a security update to the k2 server that put quotes around the application path name for the windows service for k2. They went into the registry and removed the quotes. The k2 wi
