I have a case whre I need to created a workflow that makes an extract from a list to a csv file. It is to be settled on a daily basis.

Hi Nintex Fam,   Just want to ask if you encounter this error message when accessing / approving a Nintex Form? I can access the SharePoint site, but when I go to a list item's Nintex Form to approve it, an error is thrown saying: "Something went wrong. We're sorry. There is a problem loading the license" See attached screenshot of the error. This is being accessed using a tablet. Please help me about this.

Hi, Currently we are using Nintex Form 2016 and we have requirements to encrypt the attachments with password by the system and even IT also cannot open the attachment except for the authorised person or approval. Please help to advise if it is possible in Nintex Form?   Thanks & Regards, Kevin

Hi Nintex Family,   Hope you all are safe and doing well.   I'm using state machine and assigning tasks to 2 level of approvers.   However when I'm uploading the workflow for error checking in Workflow Analyzer it gives me error (screen shot "State Machine Error).   Please see the attached workflow screenshot and error screenshot.   Thank you in advance.        

I have a workflow that creates new items on  my list A. I can see values displayed in the Sharepoint Columns in my all items view, however the calculated columns are empty as it seems the info is not saved in Nintex so calculated values do not get populated. If I click on each item I can see the calc fields populate immediately and if I save the form those calculated fields are now shown in SP columns. Does anyone have an idea how to fix this? 

Hi Everyone, I am trying to CheckIn the documents when copying from one site collection document library to another site collection document library. I am copying documents using Site workflow. Document Copying is working fine but the file is not checkedIN.  Referred below link, https://community.nintex.com/t5/Nintex-for-SharePoint/How-to-Copy-files-from-one-site-collection-document-library-to/td-p/27262  

I have a dropdown selector with 6 choices (AR, BR, CO, MX, CR, US ).   If the User selects "MX" or "CR" or "US" I like to specific field become visible.  If the other options "AR" / "CO" / "BR" are selected, will be hidden.   I'm do it now for only one option "MX" and run with this formula not(contains(Country,"MX")), but I can't achieve for multiple "correct" options, I try with this formulas, but doesn't run. Can you help me please? / It's possible to do that?   not(contains(Country,"MX"), or(contains(Country,"CR"))) or(not(equals(Country,"MX")),not(equals(Country,"CR")))  

I have an infopath form that is used to handle our Management of Change process.  I'm in the process of converting many of the form rules to workflows instead.   There are multiple reviewers per change.  They conduct their review and then select Accept or Issue in the form.   What happens to the workflow when they update their specific reveiw.  Does it get cancelled because the form has changed or does it continue?

Documentation shows that a 'Required' field is available under Validation Settings for many from controls (See Single Line Text Box  for example).   I would like to consistently use the form controls for required fields, but for most controls this option is not avaialble. (In fact only the List Lookup control appear to have this option).   The alternative is to use SharePoint to require fields where this option is not available in Nintex forms; meaning that these settings are split between SharePoint and Nintex.   What information am I missing?   Cheers, Leslie.

I tried to use the Regular Expression Action and define a Pattern. If I want to use a "Common" Variable inside the Pattern Field, it is replaced with the actual value, before the Pattern is executed. ({Common:WebUrl})(?!.*1)   Is transfered to  (http://MyURl/site)(?!.*1) and then executed.   But When I try to use a WorkflowVariable instead: ({WorkflowVariable:MyVariable}})(?!.*1)   It is not replaced and the Pattern is used with the {WorfklowVariable....} part.   Do I need to escape the {WorkflowVariable} further, or is this just not supported, and only the {Common} Tag can be replaced ?

For a "Pause For" can I change the minutes section to 0.50 to run after 30 seconds ?

I'm working on a distributed SharePoint environment with a single K2 server.  When trying to open a SmartObject (not even execute), I get the variations of the error message "Value cannot be null.  Parameter name: s". I get this error in Smart Forms designer, client side, application event log and when using the Smart Object Tester.  I'd like to add that the SharePoint farm is running in 2013 with K2 in SPS2010 mode.  The K2 components (described above) are interacting with a site collection created in SPS 2010 mode. Any ideas?

Hi to all, I am working on smartactions wherein users will reply from email either to approve or reject the task, no smartform involve.My workflow is perfectly working, the only missing information is that the user who last took an action.I need to know the user who replied from the email for auditing purposes I need to save in my table. Hope to find the answer. Really appreciate.  

I have a repeating section.  It contains a people picker.  The field is auto-populated with current user and cannot be edited.   1. I used the people picker control and set the default value to 'Current User'.  It worked fine except I couldn't make it read only. --I tried to 1) set the mode to 'display' and 2) set the appearence to 'disabled'.  None of them can save the data to the sharepoint list. --I tied to use javascript to set its 'readonly' attribute to true .attr("readonly", true), but I had difficulty to code the selector. the control is in a repeating section, I tried ID, client ID and class and none of them worked.   2. I then removed the people picker and used the calculated field control.  It only populated the first item. When I repeatedly add more items, they all empty.  

So I have a form and I added a Label and used "Insert Link" to add a hyperlink.  Instead of typing out an HTTP link, I am using a variable and then calling it "Template Example".  Where can I add "Target=_blank" to open this link in a new window?I click on Format Text and Edit Source for the Label so you can see the source.  I just don't know where to add the Target=_blank expression when a variable is used.

Hello, We have a large list with alot of items in it.  We create archive lists of these items without the attachments.  Is there any way to use the Copy To action and NOT take the attachments with it? Thanks!

We have a workflow that uses the Pause Until action + a date on the item form. Sometimes the date would be in the past. Is it normal for the workflow to stall in the Pause Until past date mode forever, or is there an expectation that it would go through the step without the pause?.. This is an inquiry about Nintex Workflow in SharePoint 2013. We are migrating from SharePoint 2010 to 2013, and it seems that this behavior only happens in the migrated SharePoint 2013 site.

A few months ago, I made a workflow that was to send an email every month with data from the list.  It had an inifinite loop that would wait month at the end before it went back up to cycle through again.  However, as the list was changing, the email was sending the same thing every month.  I assumed this was because when a workflow is started, it runs with the data of the list at that time and doesn't upate with the list.  I made another workflow to hold the loop and start the original one each time it looped back around like before.  This solved the problem and the email is sent out with updated information.  Is it safe to assume that once a workflow starts, the data is uses is fixed and doesn't update? Or is there a way to have it update?

We have received a new 2 .nlf files(“xx Nintex Workflow 2013 Standard License -  Registered.nlf” and “xx Nintex Workflow 2013 Standard License -  Development.nlf”) after renewing our SharePoint 2013 Nintex license, we have observed that Licensed server details are different after importing renewed license to SharePoint 2013 central admin environment.   Need to you understand what troubleshooting we need to perform to verify working of Nintex workflow and other request we need to make to correct server details.

Hi,   What i am trying to do here is. If a user responds with a Lazy approval. I am trying to capture his comments on to a Notes column based on his response.(I am using default Approver Comments) But on my way down this scenario. i observed that when i try to do resular expression actions back to back in the same block. for some reason it is not working. even though i have added commit pending changes to my previous action. What i am doing here is storing each outcome in one temporary variable and using that variable on another regex action. that way my final variable contains my final output which i use to update the item. My regex formula seems to be working fine upon run now.  any help is appreciated. Thanks

Hi, I have multiple attachment control with in the form, does anyone know how to get the classname or name of attachment control using javascript?   Thanks in advance

I have a custom control that executes a SmartObject List method to return some values. For some reason it is caching the values returned by the list method which means when I make a change so that new data should be returned, I am not seeing these changes - I only see the previously cached values.  Is there any way I can clear the K2 cache before I execute my list method or even set the control to not use the cache? Here is how I am executing my list method:  SmartObject smartObject = serverName.GetSmartObject("MySmartObject");smartObject.MethodToExecute = "List"; smartObject.GetMethod("List").InputProperties["deleted"].Value = "no";Thanks,

I have a workflow which generates a document and then sends the generated document out for signature to six people in the order which I set up Nintex Sign to request them to sign. When I set up the tags where the people are supposed to sign I use the tag {{Sig_es_:signer1:signature}} for the next person I use the tag {{Sig_es_:signer2:signature}} and so on to signer6. During my test it properly placed the signature tage in the first three boxes but didn't recongize the last three tagged areas.   Is there something different that needs to be done when tagging more than three signature boxes?
