Hi,  I am new in SharePoint.  I have a created a list of tasks using "Tasks." Does anyone know how I can prepare a weekly (evry Friday) report from this list.  In the report, I want to mention what I have done last 5 days.  Any help is appreciated. 

I have an app that we have deployed and is in production using the client's iOS Enterprise license. They want to move that out of the enterprise account to use the Apple Business Manager. I need to set up a new Identifier and Profile cert in Apple but I can't use the same bundle ID because that has to be unique and already used in the other account. Can I change the bundle ID that is used in Nintex to use this new cert/ bundle ID?

Hello, After performing server updates on our SharePoint 2016 farm this past weekend we have noticed an extreme degradation in our workflow performance.  We have 3 intensive workflows that run over night, 2 of the workflows normally take between 2 and 3 hours to run, they are now taking 14 hours to complete.  The workflows have not been changed, the only change is the server updates (Standard MS server security updates and a couple of SharePoint Farm updates)  SP Config was completed on each server successfully.  DB server looks normal as well but the sql statements are just coming in slower then expected. We purged the cache and restarted the timer service on each server as well but no change.  Anything else I should check?

Is there a way to show the time? shouldn't be there by default?

I have a requirement to allow users to attach a file from their desktop when completing a form instead of completing a field.  This would allow the user with a long list of accounts to attach an Excel file with all the required information instead of typing it out.  This would be optional so the user could either populate the field or add an attachment.   Any help would be appreciated. Thank you

Hello Community,   I have a SharePoint 2013 Responsive Form where I have a lookup field hidden (not disabled). I am wishing to use a URL parameter on the New Form to populate that lookup field's value. I cannot seem to find a sucessful way to do this in a Nintex Form Rule or via JavaScript as the input and select elements of that control just dont seem to respond to JavaScript value injection.    Has anyone ran into this before or can tell me how best to populate this value from a URL parameter?

I have flexi tasks that are working. However, the assignees do have have access to the task. When they click "here" to make a decision it says "Access Denied."

Why is there no Forum for Nintex Workflow on-prem? Where should people ask their questions for on-prem questions?All I can find is for Cloud or Office 365...

I have a textfield in Nintex Forms to which I assigned the following JavaScript variable name:     varAirplaneContent This textfield has content inside which has a wrong format:   I wanted to use the NintexForm user defined JavaScript to edit the content of this field.   I tried using  var text = 'Reservation - Airplane Content'; var json = JSON.parse(text); var count = json.length;var flightDataSplitted; for (var i=0; i < count; i++){ flightDataSplitted = json[i].Title.split(","); console.log(flightDataSplitted); } function testFunction(){ console.log("testFunction called!"); NWF$('#'+varAirplaneContent).val(flightDataSplitted); } NWF$(document).ready(function(){ testFunction(); }); but it doesn't work: The content in the field is still the same. What am I doing wrong?

This post applies to Nintex Forms. Business requirements are for a Form to allow new submissions by anyone, but editing the Form will only be available to a Manager's group.From my understanding, there are two ways to Hide or Disable fields.1) Under Control Settings for each control, I can modify the Appearance settings using Expressions for Visible or Enabled. This does have an Inline Function called (fn-IsMemberOfGroup() that is exactly what I need and it works by itself. It also has options for "Is Display Mode", "Is Edit Mode" and "Is New Mode".  These conditions also work by themselves. When I try to put two or more of these conditions together is where it fails.Here is my Expression: (fn-IsMemberOfGroup("IT Managers")) || (Is New Mode) . If the person is a member of the IT Managers group or the Form is a New form, then Enable the field. What happens is that no conditions are processed and the field shows everywhere under any condition.2) From reading many posts on this, Rules mig

I have a nintex form on SharePoint Online. It has got a mandatory attachment control which is also the default attachment control. User attaches the attachment. But when the form is opened later, the attachment dissapears. Is there a way we can solve this issue? We use classic nintex forms.  

I have 4 content types, all have these site columns: Case Status, Assigned To, Staff Emailed. I want to create one reusable workflow to associate with all 4. I want the workflow to run on Modified: Conditional > Case Status (previous value) not equal Case Status (Comare Field checked). I added the site columns as association columns in the workflow. But the columns are not listed as a choice, just the defaults show (Title, Modified, Modified By, etc.). The columns also do not show up for me to choose in a Run If action. They do show up in Send Notification action to select. Why not?   This is my first time trying to create a reusable workflow for All content types. I've only done reusable workflow dedicated to one specific content type. So I do not understand how association columns work, and would appreciate an explanation. Can I publish the workflow without Run If being configured, then add the workflow to a content type and then configure the Run If action for that content type?

I am trying to create a document with Content Type "Link to a Document" in a Document library (more exactly: in a document set). I using the Action "Office 365 upload file" to the create the .aspx page (with the correct Content Type). Sharepoint Online does not trigger the redirect, when I click on the Link in the library, but downloads the page.   This is the setup of the action:     As "File to Upload" (content) I pass the following (copied from a working Link ASPX file). Notepad compare shows no differences in the content, but the manual created Link redirects correcty and the Nintex created Link does not redirect.   <%@ Assembly Name='Microsoft.SharePoint, Version=16.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c' %> <%@ Register TagPrefix='SharePoint' Namespace='Microsoft.SharePoint.WebControls' Assembly='Microsoft.SharePoint' %> <%@ Import Namespace='System.IO' %> <%@ Import Namespace='Microsoft.SharePoint' %> <%@ Import Namespace='

Hi All,   Our client has SP2019 + Nintex on premise with standard license and we would like to use the Document Generation function. Because of security reasons we need official documentation regarding this function: Where the generation process takes place. In our local environment or in the cloud? What information will be sent to the cloud? Only the fact of the generation action (with a number of the documents) or all the data which will be part of the generated document? The servers are located in Hungary (Europe) and we need to know about the physical location of the cloud service. The data what will be sent to the cloud are private data and we need to know if the cloud service is in Europe and they must be complied with the European regulation/policy.   Are there any official documentation regarding this? I found part of the information from forum (not official): regarding the action: https://community.nintex.com/t5/Community-Blogs/New-Feature-Document-Generation-On-Premises/ba-p/

We have installed Nintex form On-premise machine which has SharePoint 2010. Now, we want to get the form on the base of listID and content type id. So, We are using GetFromXML method https://help.nintex.com/en-us/sdks/sdk2013/FormSDK/Topics/SDK_NF_API_REF_GetFormXml.htmI have integrated Form SDK from the below source code. For authentication purposes, I am using the FormDigest2010 method(https://help.nintex.com/en-us/sdks/sdk2013/FormSDK/Topics/SDK_NF_API_OPS_2010_WWSvcOps.htm).Get .net source code zip from the below link.https://help.nintex.com/en-us/sdks/sdk2013/FormSDK/Topics/SDK_NF_API_OPS_NintexFormsPublishExample.htm#Building_and_running_the_sampleI am using this method to get XML form. But when I invoke this WCF API then I got protocol Error. The details, I have attached with this mail. // Retrieve the form definition XML from the source environment and then save            GetFormFromSourceAndSaveToFile();So, Could you please check the above GetFormXML method for SP 2010. Thank

I know in the olden days, you could include different panels in the View form vs. the Edit or New form.  Is this capability in the New Responsive form designer and I'm just missing it?  If not, is it planned to be added?  Is there a rule I can build that will show a panel only in the View mode?

I have created a form where there are 3 single line of text fields/controls on the form.  All three controls have a rule where the field is required to have data.  All but one of the fields still shows the Required field message even though I have data in those fields.  Below is the same rule I'm using in all three single line text fields except for changing the control name.  I can't figure out why the validation message is still showing so therefore I am unable to submit the form.  I checked the columns in settings for both the site and the root site and I do NOT have the required field checked.   and(equals(FormAction, "Add"), equals(LicensePlateNumber, ""))  

  In a site that was recently migrated to SharePoint 2019, I created a list with a modern form, and classic workflow. In my workflow, I added a "Request approval" action. In my Task notification, and I inserted a reference for Approval URL. When I select this URL in my email notification, it redirects me to a workflow task page instead of the page with approve/reject radio buttons. This is the page it used to redirect me to. Any help/guidance would be greatly appreciated!

Last time when i click on the link response to the task, i'll be redirected to a page with Approve/Reject button and my comment on it. Suddenly, instead of the approva/reject page, i am being directed to the workflow task screen as shows above.    And no matter which item i clicked on, will not direct me to the original approval screen with the url of approverject.aspx    Please help..

Nintex Newbie.. I am populating fields on a Responsive Form based on a tag the user enters with SQL Request. I want to display a message to the user when No Results are returned for the SQL Request. I cannot seem to determine how to do this.
