Hello, I am using Nintex workflows integrated in SharePoint 2013.  I have a variable which defaults to today's date.  I want to then use this variable to figure out the first of the month and assign it to the variable.  Is there a way to do this without trying to call a SQL function or procedure?   Thank you!

We have created a custom content type "SOX Procedure" based on the Document content type.  I am able to associate a reusable site collection Nintex WF template with the new content type and a SPD WF on the hub.  However the Nintex WF does not become available to the other site collections served by the Content Hub.  (SPD workflows do flow down to the other SCs)Is this the expected behavior when a Content Hub is employed to centralize and administrate content types?We are on SP 2016 prem and Nintex 2016 WF and Forms.

I want to stop the user to upload attachment name with special characters and display a message and tools tip. I'm new user for nintex.

How to append text [-obsolete] to the end of file name (preserving file extension) before copying the file to file share without changing the document name in library? ** Item level action - cannot use collection operation **

There once was a workflow, It lived in SharePoint 2019, It functioned fruitfully from day to day, Until it up and disappeared! So, silly at best, sorry, not :) I've read through the community for a solution to recovering a deleted workflow. No bueno. I get that. If it can't be done using the web interface, can it be done by searching through a database backup? Where is it stored? How is it stored? I've been in IT for a very long time and refuse, yes, refuse to believe it can not be retrieved. It's XML, right? It's stored in the database, right? Is it sotred as an XML object? or is it sored as text? Why do you ask Bill? We are working through our DRP processes and part of that, a small part, is to be able to restore all things SharePoint as close the the end user's keyboard as possible and we're absolutley flabergasted to NOT find a deleted workflow in the Recycle bin. Thouhts?

I have a workflow that has one action to take a word document in a document library and convert it into a PDF.  The workflow performs just as I would like, but the time it takes is way too long (about 10-15 minutes).     Is there a reason behind why this is happening and is there something I can do to make the workflow run faster?   Thank you, Owen

I have a save and submit button label Approve on my form connected to a field value (number) set value to 1. My goal is to let the Approver go back in the form click the Approve button or to use the task outcome email to approve the task. I added a run if control in the workflow right after flexi task, I wanted for the workflow to continue IF the approve button equals 1 or if the task outcome is approved. My button was working before but it has stopped working. any help is appreciated.

I have three fields: StartDate, EndDate, HalfDay. If HalfDay is checked, StartDate and EndDate must equal the same day.   I'm trying to setup a rule on StartDate to invalidate if HalfDay is checked and StartDate and EndDate do not equal.   I've tried a few different things and couldn't get it to work.   This was the latest one I tried. HalfDay && (equals(StartDate, EndDate) == "False")

Hello, I have a SharePoint list with three columns which looks like this (see pitcure below).   In my form, I want to retrieve the rate depending on the year. This means that if the user enters the year 2020, I want to retrive the rate from this year. Same thing for the other years. In blue, the column "Rate Year" In green, the column "Rate code" In red, the column "Rate Label"   What I have tried: I declared a calculated value in my form where I retrieve a rate depending on the lists rate code. Here is the formula: lookup("RateList", "Rate code", Currency Code, "Rate Label"). The "Rate Label" I get is random, because I don't specify the year. Is it possible to retrieve data from a SharePoint list where I can filter on two parameters? If not, does an alternative exist in JavaScript? Thanks

Hi All, This doesn't seem like it should be complicated but... I want to send out an email reminder (say every 3 days) when a parrticular condition is true. As soon as the condition is no longer true, upon form save, I want the workflow to continue immediately. I tried using a loop but could not figure out how to avoid having to wait the 3 days in order for the loop to start again to reckon that the condition is false.   Thanks in advance.

I have a Nintex 2013 form with 3 panels. Each panel has rules that control visibility based on the Project type selection.  Each panel is butted up against its neighbor without any overlaps.   Notice the order of the 3 panels.   When I view the form, and select a Project type that displays all 3 panels, this is what I get. Notice that "tradeshow" as last, not first.   If, when designing the form, I leave a gap between the panels (undesirable), then the order is correct.   Does anyone know what could cause this and how to correct?   Thank you.

I have a variable with follow text "i:0e.t|kspagadfs|czxy@abc.bla.xx" I will do Opteration "split" with pattern "|" Split divides the input text into sections using the pattern as a delimiter.

My enviroment is a OnPrem Sharepoint 2019 Farm. I have the following problem: Within a Webservice call i try to use the value of a lookup field as a reference in "AddUserToGroup". Every time i use the value of the lookup field i get a SOAP-envelope-error. I have detailed protokoll acitvated and can see that the variable is filled with the wright value as text (the name of the Sharepoint group). If I enter the name of the group "by hand" it returns no error. I even worked with a regex (to rmove ID;#) and lookup to populate the variable, but the same error comes up. Has anybody ever had the same issue or an idea how to solve the issue?

I have Sharepoint On Prem 2013 - Nintex Workflow 2013.I have Site A with List A and Site B with List B, and I need to copy the contents of Site A/ List A to Site B/ List B.  There are 61 items to be copied.  When configuring Create Item in Another Site, it stops letting me add new items after 50 have be loaded.  The 50 actually do copy correctly.Is there a hard stop after 50 items here? Any input is greatly appreciated.

I've got a list workflow that uses the 'Request Data' action to get the following two items from an 'assignee': Task Status: Choice - In-Progress OR CompletedComments: Multiple lines of text Later in the workflow a 'set a condition' then decides what happens next based on the response from the 'task status': Howeve, each time I do this, it goes the wrong way. Below is a screenshot of the history of one of the instances where I selected 'In-Progress' but it followed the 'Completed' route.I used the 'log in history list' action which also logged the wrong outcome. I believe the problem must be something to do with the 'request data' action. Whenever I re-open the workflow in designer mode after publishing and closing it, the 'task status' content type field keeps disspearing: Is anyone able to offer any advice? I've been at this non-stop for a couple of days now so it might just need a fresh pair of eyes. I understand there is several methods to do what I am trying to achieve, but for se

Does anyone know of a way one can allow users to attach a picture in a Nintex form and have that picture get saved to a SQL Database (e.g. using SQL Execute).   The varbinary data I'm getting appears to be truncated when I use SQL Execute to write the attachment field to a SQL database.    Thank-you,   Adam

I'm trying to add several fields being entered into a form.  I'm entering "10" into the fields to test.  If I enter 10 into 2 of the field and leave the other blank (" " not "0") sometimes I get "1010" instead of 20.  And even that depends on what field it is I leave blank.  Is this normal?  Do fields need to be "0" to not cause a CV to error? I'm doing this in Nintex forms for Office 365 if that matters.

I am currenlty trying do a calculated value that will do a lookup from a different sharepoint list based on a lookup field on the form. I have tried three different formulas and I get two to render a respond but the prefix is not removed even when I have done the parseLookup formula.    Formula one:   lookup("Documents","Safety Standard Number and Title Description",parseLookup(SS Drop Down List),"POC") Result:  1215#Valladares, Vanessa Data Type:Sting Formula two:   String(lookup("Documents", "Safety Standard Number and Title Description", parseLookup( SS Drop Down List),"POC")).replace (/^null/gi,"") Result:  1215#Valladares, Vanessa Data Type:Sting Formula three:   parseLookup(lookup("Documents", "Safety Standard Number and Title Description", SS Drop Down List, "lookup:POC")) Result:  (does not return a result) Data Type:Sting                   Can someone tell what I am doing wrong?  Your help is greatly appreciated.    

Hi All,       I am very new and green to nintex/sharepoint and have no previous IT or workflow experience. Just a crash course following the departure of our nintex guru!   I have been tasked with the following:   - create a workflow which will send a morning and afternoon email linked to a form for staff to complete (they must complete, and yes twice, daily).   - for the workflow to send chaser/reminders to those who have not completed the form.   I have created the necessary columns and also the form for individuals to complete.   We currently have a 'nintex master' list of all employees which includes emails. I have now hit a wall and not sure how to put the workflow together.     My questions:   Should I be using a query list at the start of the workflow? If so what do I add in the 'to' box within the email notification?   How to set it to send the emails twice a day at a specific time.   How to send chasers to those who have not completed e.g. morning notification sent at 9am, if

I have been tasked with creating a workflow in SharePoint 2019 for my HR department's onboarding process. I was wondering if anyone had built something like this using Nintext workflow and if any pointers could be provided. I looked in the the Nintex workflow templates but I didn't see anything.
