My account still no active and i can't download the trial product Please i ask for help 

I am working on a request to create an export of contact names and cell numbers from a list (Contact List library) as an attachment in an email.  Came across a post on Vladim's blog that would do what i need it to do.  I've imported the UDA and workflow, made any modifications necessary for it to run in my environment. The workflow calls the UDA and completes, however no data is captured.  The .csv file is empty and the workflow history also. This request came out of a COVID-19 management meeting so any help would be greatly appreciated.

I am trying to update list item with current approver after delegation. I have gone through some articles where they suggested me to create a workflow on the Task list. I am having two questions and issues here 1. My site has over 20 workflows already on different lists. Is it suggested way to create a workflow on the Tasks list? is performance not effected 2. when i update my list with the (Assigned To) after delegation, the workflow running on the item is erroring out because previous value on the item is not equal to the current value on the existing item.     can anyone please suggest me if i am doing something wrong here, any help is appreciated.(My environment is On premise)

hello    i am using nintex my workflow tasks to show users tasks but my client request to change the column name  that appear in the web parts   so is thre resource files for nintex webparts ?   Regards  

I created a nintex form with a drop down field that autopopulates from another SharePoint list (called drop down list items) .    If the item they need is not in the drop down they have an option to select "Other - Not Listed".  This will unhide a field for them to enter the item name they need.     This is a snap shot of the form that has the drop down field.               I need to know how to create a workflow that will copy any item that are entered in to the "Othe Title" field to the SharePoint list (called drop down list items) that is storing the choices.    So next time the form is opened the drop down list will be updated with the most current information.   Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.           

I have a requirement to allow users to open a form they previsouly submitted and edit it and re-submit it as a new form...NOT save it.  It needs to be a completely seperate form in the SharePoint list.   We basically need to update the original form data but also keep all the original data and create a new record in the SharePoint list for the new data with out having to type out all the data that was previously submitted.   Is this possible?

Hi, We have a InfoPath forms library which is using a SP designer workflow. But, recently we have been seeing errors related to Nintex in this forms library.   Why would we see nintex errors in a InfoPath forms library which uses a designer workflow?   It says Error Occurred. Unable to preview workflow.   And when I click workflow history for any infopath form in that library I get taken to a nintex page which contains this is in the url: _layouts/15/NintexWorkflow/ItemWorkflows.aspx   Please help. fyi we also have nintex workflows in the same web app for other nintex forms.    

Hi,   Can someone confirm what exactly the option "Do not start this workflow if it is already running" does? Help document says "When this option is checked, the current workflow will not run the specified workflow if it is in progress." and I'm confused by the results I'm seeing in my workflow. Below is my current scenario:   Workflow 1 before it ends, it starts Workflow 2. I'm not checked the option "Wait for the workflow to complete before continuing", so my workflow 1 proceeds and it gets over. Now I made some changes in Workflow 2 and published it. Workflow 2 which got started in above Step # 1 is still In Progress After I published Workflow 2, my workflow 1 gets triggered again. When it reaches to Start Workflow 2 action, instead of bypassing it (since previous instance of Workflow 2 is already in progress), it's starting Workflow 2. So now, I have two Workflow 2 running on my item. Can someone confirm if it's a bug or what !!!!   Thanks.

Hi All,   Relatively new to this, so please be gentle.    I have an issue where a Nintex flow is pulling back a users objectSID instead of their e-mail address in the assignees list. I have seen one other post that describes the issue exactly, but this simply says they spoke to an exchange administrator to resolve the issue. However our administrator doesn't know anything about it, so needless to say, we are somewhat stumped.    Yesterday we found that these users e-maisl weren't displayed at all, so the msexchangemastersid was added which resolved the issue. However when entering their e-mail it is found and displays as it should. As soon as you save the objectsid is displayed and no mail is sent?. Any suggestions, or help would be appreciated. 

I would like to know how I can achieve the following through Javascript:   If "None required" is selected, all other previously selected values should be unchecked, and then disabled.  

 Symptoms You are unable to find Document Sets in SharePoint Online for Document Libraries that have been created  Diagnosis As of K2 Five and Cloud onwards, the workflow designer no longer has wizards that will allow you to utilise the Document Sets for your Document Libraries, you can however use SharePoint SmartObjects to achieve this.   https://help.k2.com/kb002726  Solution 1. I followed this article on how to create a document set https://sharepointmaven.com/document-sets-hidden-gem-sharepoint/2. Then for the SharePoint Document Library that makes use of this Document Set Content Type, I had to regenerate it via the K2 App in SharePoint3. In the K2 Designer, under your Site, there will be a new category called "Document Set" that will have a SmartObject available that contains all of these desired methods such as "Get Document Set/s, Create, Delete, Update, Copy, Move" etc that you can use to achieve this scenario in your use case.

Hi Everyone,   Just want to get confirmation on my workflow that runs conditionally. It's a simple workflow and based on forum posts. It runs on a specific content type for a ticket list that has an Approval Status choice field with "Pending", "Approved", and "Rejected" as the choices. The default is set to "Pending". The workflow should send a notification to IT when the field is changed to either Approved or Rejected. I do not want the workflow to kick off unless the Approval Status has changed. I set the workflow to start on Modified, with Condition set to "Approval Status (previous value) is not equal to Approval Status", and Compare is checked. In the workflow I have a Switch action, with Approve and Reject as the values. For each value, I have a Send Notification action with a different message in the body.   Is that all I need to do? Again, I want to be sure the workflow should *only* run when the Approval Status field changes. Lots of other fields are going to be updated throug

Is there a way to set a limit on the number of lines that can be entered on a Multiline textbox?  I know I can set the resize at runtime to No, but that doesn't prevent someone from continuing to type.  Our users.  If I allow the resize, we could have situations where the form becomes out of wrack when it is converted to PDF for printing.  If I turn off resize, some of the content of the control could be missing.  Simply asking people to not go over 5 lines just won't work.  I've created a multiline column and set the number of lines to 5, but that doesn't seem to work either.  What am I missing here?  I see several posts on imposing character limits.  I suppose that would work, but could be real tedious as i have multiple multiline text boxes and each one is a different size.  Trying to figure out how many  characters would fit in each box would be a bit of a pain.

 Symptoms We created an editable list view and would like to change the tooltip of one column dynamically.When the row is validated, we would like to show in the textbox tooltip another field of the SmartObject linked to a drop-down list.We want to keep the tooltip even if the user saves the data and reloads the view later. Diagnoses There is an existing feature request for this. Resolution This ticket was linked to a feature request with TFS item 397407 - "Able to make the tooltip a dynamic feature" - "it would be good to have a option to populate tooltip of listview columns body with a properties from associated smart object or generally using expression editor."As already previously discussed, it seems like the only way you're going to get this working is with a custom JavaScript event, for example OnHover.Please refer to our Professional Services team regarding help with this. 

Hi all,   Is there a way to pass a field value into a form variable when a form is open? Scenario: User will pass a value eg. 1234 while filling out the form, then I want to store the value on the form variable to pass it against SQL control.   Could you please advise?   Thanks. Ren  

Hello,   I'm fairly new to SharePoint and Nintex and have been taught by a coworker/self taught. I'm using SharePoint 2016. I am having trouble getting the information from my conditional drop downs, on my Nintex forms, to show up in a column on my SharePoint list. I need the conditional drop down information to link to a column because I will be reporting on it.   I was able to create the different lists, in SharePoint, to link to the Nintex form and can see the conditional drop downs when I go to "Create Item" on my SharePoint list but when I save the item in SharePoint the information from those drop downs is no where to be found.   Any help is much appreciated I am very stuck!!!   Thank you!!!!!

Hi Everyone,   Has anyone found a way to use PowerShell to remove a Nintex Workflow from a list? I won't go into the use case - just looking to find a way to remove a Nintex Workflow (not just the association) using PowerShell since NWAdmin doesn't expose that option. I've started exploring the New-WebServiceProxy cmdlet against the Nintex Workflow web service to call the DeleteWorkflow method but haven't managed to succeed with that route just yet. I imagine I'm not the first to do this? Any tricks?   Thanks!

I am attempting to terminate workflows that are from 2013 that are still running. Read through the articles and posts then attempted: Workflows in Progress report. When I select the workflow to terminate, I get a blank page as a result. Trim the URL to the Instance ID provides the item but when I selecte terminate workflow, it states, "Ojbect does not exist." NWAdmin, i get the following output: Unhandled Exception: System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not load file or assembly 'Nintex.Workflow, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=913f6bae0ca5ae12' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified. File name: 'Nintex.Workflow, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=913f6bae0ca5ae12' at Nintex.Workflow.NWAdmin.Program.Main(String[] args)   Lazy approvals are not processing reliably and workflows are not being completed. need to get this system cleaned up. Thank you in advance to anyone that can assit me.   Bob

Hi everybody,   I have a very simple form where the user puts in his/her initials. Let's say "BC". The process behind only allows that every initial must be single use. So it's not allowed that User #2 also inputs "BC". I'd like to do a autmatic check about this. Problem is that "BC" and "bc" oder "Bc" or "bC" are NOT equal! Which means that Case sensivity means also that it's different.   I tried to make a custom validation using lookup which works good, but this formula won't take case sensivity into account.   Any other ideas how to check this before sending the formular? Thx and Best, Max

I have some calculated fields that summarize some controls that are within a repeating group. The totals work but when I preview/edit the item the controls show up overlapping the first item in the repeating group. I want the totals to show up after all the repeating items. How do I do this. I tried placing these calculated fields and labels within a panel but still didnt work.   Thanks in advance for any help I can get on this JP

New to Nintex. I was handed an environment that kept "hanging" when processing the lazy approvals. I do not know if it is SharePoint or Nintex causing the problem. Just renewed our support about 6 weeks ago in hopes that I could figure out what the problem is. I went through the youtube videos, the forums and the KBs. I have been submitting requests almost weekly to get assistance from Nintex Support. I get asked the same triage questions and do not get anywhere other than, "it must be the workflow, rewrite it." So I created a simple approval workflow and the lazy approval continues to be inconsistent. I understand that Nintex Support is only able to do so much when the end user has free reign to create a workflow that could do god knows what.  I get it. I was in software support myself years ago. But this is ridiculous.Anyone having issues with Lazy Approval processing? The logs do not provide any detail as to why they are not processing, they just don't process.

Hi all,   just a basic question: Within a flexi task, I want to sent the outcome and the comment of the approval to the reqeuster. Is the "Approver Comments"  under the common tab the correct item for it? Just asking, because the desciptions confuses me a bit:"The comments of the approvers who responded to the most recent task"  

Hi,     I have a custom list named Photography . It contains one field 'Start Date' which is date time. Also i have a calender list in the same site. I need to create a calender event when we are adding an item in Photography list. The calender event time has to be Start Date. How i can do this? I have workflow for Photography list. Please help me. Thanks

Hey all!I'm trying to set up a site WF which is scheduled to run once every month (on the 1st). The WF is "connected" to a SharePoint 2016 document library. The WF needs to query all new added and changed documents that have a specific category set via metadata. Documents which get uploaded to this library have various kinds of categorys. Only for documents with a specific category the email should get send out. The email notification should only include added/changed documents from the previous month. Nothing older. All relevant document links should get put into a single mail and send out to a group of users. I'm not quiet sure how to accomplish all this since I'm still very new to Nintex WF.... a little help would be really appreciated. :) Thank you!  

I am using a Pause until a certain date action to send an email notification reminder (to complete a post travel summary). This email reminder isn't sent sent once the date has passed (Traveler End Date + 3 - a variable); although the workflow history reflects that it has successfully been completed. The pause works - buy the email is not being generated/sent. I read a recommendation to insert the Pause til date within a Run IF action. It still did not work for me. What can I do to resolve this?    I have not seen solutions posted for Sharepoint 2016 when using Pause or Pause until a certain date.
