What is the difference (in terms of returned result), between a "Context Item" and an "Item" field?   Nintext documentation:   Context Item Display Name: The display name of the item that the workflow is running on. Context Item URL: The URL to the item that the workflow is running on. Item Display Name: The display name of the item on which the workflow is running. Item URL: The URL of the item in workflow.   The words are slightly different, but I don't see the subtlety in the difference.  

Hello,I am very new to XML and having trouble configuring a Call Web Service action. Can anyone tell me what is wrong with my XML code please? My process is:1. Site A: List A workflow creates a new item in Site B: List B (same site collection). As part of the Create Item action, the column RFTID in List B is set to the ID of the item in List A on which the workflow is running.2. A workflow on List B is started upon creation of the new item in List B in which the Call Web Service is intended to update the item in Site A: List A, with the Title of the new item in Site B: List B. I am getting this error from the Site B: List B workflow, on the Call Web Service action: Failed to invoke web service. Error returned from server: <soap:Fault xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"><faultcode>soap: Server</faultcode><faultstring>Exception of type 'Microsoft.SharePoint.SoapServer.SoapServerException' was thrown. Here is the XML in my SOAP Editor: <?xml v

Hi everyone,   I'm new to Sharepoint for Nintex here. I'm creating a simple page which contains 2 images. These 2 images will redirect user to different URLs when they are clicked.   I used Rich Text control and edited it's HTML to display and add the "<a href>" tag for those images. However, After publish to Nintex Mobile, these 2 images are displayed as 2 small boxes in Nintex Mobile and the "<a href>" tags for each image are working. Does anyone has a workaround or solution to display the image?   My HTML script as below: <div style="text-align: center;"> <a href="https://xxx.com/" target="_blank"> <img src="https://docs.google.com/uc?id=1wQCY12hS9fW-XTs6W9X6cEUWGeXjbLrF" alt="HSB" unlockratio="false"/> </a> <span style="font-size: 8pt;">​​</span> ​​​​<br/><br/> ​​ <br/>

As part of this workflow i have added a Request approval action (as shown below) and customized the approval form using Edit Task Form --> Edit with Microsoft InfoPath 2010. it works fine on same sharepoint list where the workflow has been created.But i get default form instead of my customized form when i tried to export the same workflow to other share point list and try to send checklist form for managers approval. Can someone guide em how can i fix this issue ? as i don't want to re-create the form each time i export the workflow. basically customization of this form takes 2 to 3 days to do.  I tried to save the template and import on new SharePoint list workflow but nothing seems to work fine.Thanks for the heads up on this issue..

In the nintex form of SharePoint list we are calling web api hosted in azure which requires access token to access. So we implemeted MSAL.js for authentication. In the azure AD app the redirect URL needs to be configured which will called after user signs in. The nintex new form URL is very lengthy has many query strings for its internal process. In order to redirect after sign in we need to config this URL in azure app redirect URL but the redirect URL in azure has character limitation 256 characters. If we config URL without query string also the redirection failed because of mismatch UR and also wild card URL is not supported in Azure.    Any help is much appreciated.

I'm having trouble with a SQL control and using javascript to select the first result in the dropdown list. I have 2 sql controls that are set up the same exact way other than pulling different data. I am using the javascript below to autoselect the first result. It works fine for the first one, setVendorID() but it does not work for setRemit() and I can not figure out why. I can run the code inside the if statements in the console and the first one works fine and it will set the dropdown for VendorID but not for RemitToAddress. I even tried completely removing the VendorID portion of the code to see if it was conflicting but that did not work either. What could I be missing? function setVendorID() {if (NWF$("#" + varVendorIDCount).val() === '1') {var sqlVendorID_X = sqlVendorID.replace('_hid', "");NWF$('#' + sqlVendorID_X).prop('selectedIndex', 1);NWF$('#' + sqlVendorID_X).trigger("change");} else {}} function setRemit() {if (NWF$("#" + varRemitCount).val() === '1') {var sqlRemitToAdd

I have a list containing an employees name their vacation start time, end time and who is covering for them. I'm trying to build workflow which queries the list and collects all of the above information if it falls into the date range. I've tried a workflow which calculates the greater than/less than date, quieries the list and places all of the list infomration in a string then into an email. I end up getting the email but it doesn't contain any of the information. I've attached the workflow (SP 2013). Thanks

I just came across this post https://community.nintex.com/community/build-your-own/blog/2016/05/18/using-the-store-data-and-retrieve-data-actions by @cassy explaining how to use Store data and Retrieve data to pass variables between workflows.  I need to pass a variable from child to parent, which can change at different points in the workflow.  Do I need to restore the data in the child, if it changes?  And do I need to re-retrieve it in the parent, if I need to check it at different intervals?

Hi Everyone,   I have a form that I would like for users to fill out to request time off. I'd like the form to populate all of the following user information (available in AD):   First Name: Last Name: Email: Department: Manager/Direct Report: Manager/Direct Report Email:   Once this information is populated, I would like my workflow to send a task to the manger/direct report requesting approval. Once approved/rejected I'd like to send an email to both the requestor and the Manager of the response.   Any suggestions on how this can be done?

Hi All, Fairly new to Nintex Workflow and looking for some assistance. I have 2 lists - I want to Paste bulk data into List A which will look for a matching value in List B and then update the remaining columns.   I have managed to get the workflow to look up the value and match it, however when updating the additional columns it repeats the first match: I.E - List A is my bulk paste List B is the result List A   Refernce Number Date Receieved 555 1/01/2000 666 2/01/2000 777 3/01/2000 888 4/01/2000     List B   Refernce number Date Received 555 1/01/2000 666 1/01/2000 777 1/01/2000 888 1/01/2000   Any assistance in how to store the individual dates and match them accordingly would be apprecaited. Cheers,

Hi there,   I am searching for a solution to the following issue:   Environment: SharePoint 2013, Nintex Workflows for Sharepoint 2013   Problem: I want to provide several teams with mailing lists that are based on SharePoint permission groups. Since the permission model is = to the receivers of the mailing list, it makes sense to send mails based on these groups.   Current solution:  I created an announcement library and allowed the library to receive e-mails. I created a one-step-workflow that is triggered whenever an item is created and that sends an e-mail with the subject [title] and the body [element content] (rich text formated) Issues with the solution:   The solutions works fine so far, in particular if I create the annoucement directly in SharePoint. Sending an HTML-formated e-mail to the library, however, results in a broken e-mail (some HTML elements appear aside from the content).    Possible workaround (although not satisfying to me): A possible solution is to customize t

I currently have a workflow that generates tasks and then updates information in the underlying list item according to what the users enter in the task forms.   Separate to that process, I want to create a new workflow or edit the Nintex List Item form somehow that will trigger a notification of who changed what to all teams when someone edits the underlying list item.  I also want that trigger to exclude any updates made automatically by the other running workflow.  Is that possible?  

Hello,I'm try in to build a Training management system. My goal is to notify HR before  training expires. I have two lists, List Has the course details name, facility and a number field for expiration days. List B will contain employee name, lookup to ListA for course name, lookup for facility and date course was taken. I'm having issues integrating or adding up ListA expiration days+ date course was taken. So for example Drivers Test is good for 360 days and Employee X took it 04/01/20 , I need workflow to add that date from List B and number 360 from List A to generate driver test expiration date for that Enployee. Any ideas how to accomplishe it. Thank you

When you use "start a task process" action in Nintex Workflow for Office 365, it sends you the out of the box approval section as in my attached image. And then your message appears below this. 1) Is there a way to allow your message to appear above the OOB message? 2) Is there a way to customize any part of this OOB Message? Seems rude that I can't update this at all.

Hello all,   I am trying to create a dynamically changing form in Nintex that contains an abundance of panels that are hidden or shown based on several conditions.  The first tab contains 6 "Activities" that can be fill in.  There has to be one activity filled in, but the number of activies filled in after it can vary from 0 to 5 more.  After each activity, there is an "Inspection", but after the last activity, there is a final inspection, so it's regular inspection is not needed, so that panel containing it is to be hidden.  The rules work and the designated panels are hidden when they need to, but when they appear, they appear in a different order than intended.  Here are some screenshots to show the issue:   This is the first tab, where you choose the activities:     This is the second tab, where the activity and inspection info is to be filled in (each with their own panel).  The panel with the red bracket is supposed to be after "Tracking", which is where it is in the form design

I am trying to mass delete all the items in a list.  I was not able to figure out how to do that with the UpdateListItems method.  So I am getting all ListIDs from the list using the GetListItems method and then processing them with a collection operation to delete them 1 at a time.   When the GetListItems CWS runs, it is only selecting the last 7 days of items.  I created a view which selects 10,000 ID's and put that in the XML and still only returns the last 7 days of items.   I have checked the list view (SharePoint Calendar - All Events view) and there are no filters configured on the list view and there are none on the "special 10K ListID View" I created.   Here is the XML.  This runs but only returns the last 7 days.   <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><soap:Envelope xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:m="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/soap/"><soap:Header></soap:Header

Hello, if someone can help me figure out how to arrange a formula to get this working, I would be so grateful.  I have a people picker control named "AssignedTo" that I would like to auto-populate with "CurrentUser" IF the current user is a member of the "AdminGroup."

 I've seen few K2ers asking how to refresh the Inbox when a task has been actioned via a SmartForm in K2 Five/Cloud Workspace.   Current behaviour:   If you noticed that whenever you action a task in the workspace, you will have to manually refresh the Inbox in order for the task to disappear.    If the end user clicks on the actioned task again, an expected error will appear as the task has already been actioned by the user:     Solution - K2 Five:   In K2 Five it is not complicated to implement, you can trigger the refresh function using JavaScript.      The script will be executed after the button click that actions your task   Implementation:   Script   <script>window.top.parent.$("[id$='_refreshInput']").click();</script>   1- Add a data label control to your task form and make sure Literal property is checked and Prevent XSS is unchecked   2- Add two transfer data action after the Worklist item action as shown below      3- Clear the data label in the first transfer t

I am using nintex form on Sharepoint 2013.  I added userProfileLookup.  It worked great with the Department and the WorkEmail attributes.  However when I tried to get the Office property, I sometimes got the office info without issue, but sometimes it prompted for credentials.  I entered my credentials, but the login window was persistent.  'Office' is the internal name of Office and it is populated

Hi everyone,    I find myself being admin for a workflow that I did not design and am facing a mystery with regards to a comment that is logged in the workflow history - without a log in history list action!    The workflow contains of only 1 action: Copy a SharePoint item to another site. No error handling has been configured.   And yet, for a workflow error that came back to me, there are two entries in the workflow history: one is expected, and of the event type Error, but the other is of the event type Comment. In the description it is detailed that the user that initiated the workflow does not have permissions on the site to copy the item to. The specific site url (from a workflow variable!) is listed.   How is this comment logged to the workflow history and where is this configured?   I checked the site settings, but this seems out of the scope of the regular workflow notifications.   Any ideas are welcome - thanks!!
