- Introduction - I have been wanting to make this blog post for a little while, and even though (due to time constraints) it probably will not be as thorough as I had originally planned, it will ultimately serve the purpose of introducing the community to a few advanced approaches to using the Nintex Form rule system. Though you will need a comfortable understanding of javascript to get the most benefit from this, but if you're curious and aren't keen on programming, don't let that stop you from learning!  The Rule system, as it stands, is a good tool to validate control inputs and to alter the appearance of controls based on the Form's state. However, as I found myself enjoying their usefulness, I also found myself wishing that I could do other simple and useful things with them such as populating a field based on the amount of choices, normalizing the inputs of a field, or doing some type of advanced validation based on wild requirements.  Though I cannot account for all of the ways

In this post I look at taking a function, adding it to a custom action, and making it available in Nintex Workflow 2013. This is the third post in my series, "Function to Microservice with the Nintex Workflow Platform," which looks at how you can move your function as portable unit in the Nintex Workflow Platform.I'll walk you through installing a custom action. You can use custom actions to provide the functionality found in many open-source libraries, in your own console applications, or to integrate your workflow data with web services or other remote resources. In this walk through, I'll use the  function from the first post in this series. That function uses the Newtonsoft JSON library to convert an XML string into JSON, or to convert a JSON string into XML. We will build out the templates from the Nintex Workflow 2013 Software Development Kit. In a previous post, Create a Custom Action for Nintex Workflow 2013," I looked at creating a custom action that calls the Merriam Webster

Did you know you can create a custom action in Nintex Workflow 2013 using Visual Studio and the Nintex 2013 Platform SDK. With a custom action, you can:insert your function into a Nintex workflow pass data from the workflow into your function return information processed by the function to the workflow where it can be used by workflow actionsThe process of building out the custom action, deploying, and testing it takes some time. My record time so far is about 10 hours (while plugged into headphones, drinking a steady flow of black coffee and Coke 0, and not talking to anyone.) So settle in when you're ready to tackle this approach and brew up your favorite coding beverage to help you along. Although I provide an example Visual Studio solution of a custom action, this topic will walk you through the process I used in building a custom action using the Nintex Platform SDK. In creating your own custom action you will need to read the comments in the code templates to get all of the detai

You've asked, and we listened!Introducing Office 365 update item permissions custom permissions: What’s newThis workflow action has been upgraded to support the ability to use custom SharePoint permissions when setting list item permissions. What's all the big hype about: Since the beginning of times, Nintex for SharePoint on premises, has always had a connector for Set item permission. However, when we launched Nintex for SharePoint O365, the Office 365 update item permissions action was limited to support default permission levels only. Many customers and partners took to the https://nintex.uservoice.com to provide their feedback and demand for more from this action: https://nintex.uservoice.com/forums/218291/suggestions/7050455 Now introducing the ability to use custom SharePoint permissions :) When would I use the Office 365 Update Item Permissions:Whether you are looking to implement user permissions sox controls or even governance for user access integrity, this action can help s

Until approximately 2017, the Google product forums allowed styling posts with underline, text color and size, and text background color, perhaps also font type, implemented through a JavaScript-based WISIWYG rich text editor.In ~2017, their text editor was stripped of most functionality, and custom colours and font sizes were removed from existing posts.Does anyone have the JavaScript code of that legacy rich text editor? If anyone has downloaded a page from Google product forums back then, the JavaScript code might be contained in the _files subfolder.

We use a third party workflow solution as part of our core client offering. One of our clients recently asked that they be able to see the previous assignee on a task that has been delegated or escalated to them. The click path (4 clicks) from the item to the correct workflow history where the information is displayed was a little too cumbersome.Our third party workflow solution uses a custom workflow task page which is not editable so adding a web part was out of the question. So the only viable option in this case was to use a JavaScript only solution embedded in the master page. This solution allows me to deploy the solution on a client by client basis and make client specific customizations a relatively trivial task. The solution uses the Nintex Web Service method GetWorkflowHistoryForListItem and parses the return data to display only the delegation information, puts it into a table (ugly stuff here) and appends it to an element at the bottom of the page that is a core piece of th

Here is a little Holiday treat for everyone.. The Nintex Web Service I still believe is a little golden nugget rarely utilised.. I was presented this issue the other day from a prospective customer, and I thought  "yeah I can do that" The idea was that in Nintex Forms the customer wanted to display the workflow audit history.

! This article is out of date! Please reach out to your account manager or CSM if you are interested in running the script in your environment. This script was originally designed for sales and marketing to better understand the use of Nintex in our client's on premise setup. The support team has adopted it to help better inform SharePoint Administrators on what the farm has running in regards to Nintex.

Important informationEffective 13 September 2019 (the “End of Support Date”), Nintex will officially stop supporting Nintex Mobile deployed on Windows Tablet and Windows Phone. Nintex functionality that relies solely on a specific underlying operating system operated by a third party reflects the lifecycle of that underlying OS. Accordingly, as this Nintex Mobile functionality targets the Windows 8 platform that is currently in the end of its Microsoft lifecycle. Between the date of this notice and the End of Support Date, only applicable critical patches will be implemented. For additional detail, see Windows Tablet and Windows Phone End-of-Support Notice. SummaryNintex makes it easy to automate your workflow, so you can keep projects and processes moving, but without all the manual work. It connects to any system you use to manage content, so you can tackle everything from a specific task in a single department to complex, company-wide procedures. In addition, because you can quickly
