I have a form I'm working on that has overlapping panels, on purpose (unless there is a better way). They are identical in layout, headings, etc. However, one panel will be visible if the user selects a pre-filled template from a drop down list. If this happens, the panel that shows up has all the fields as calculated values, pulling from a master list in the SharePoint site that contains specific template information (account numbers, bank names, etc). The second panel, is the exact same, only the calculated value fields are replace with the list columns and are free-type text. So, if they choose template "MT202" for example, this is a blank template. I want them to be able to type in the information manually.   The problem is that when I go to the list and create a new item, the panel that shows up with the free-type text works and populates the column fields like it should. On the other hand, the panel with all the calculated values as fields show blank, even if there is pre-populat

Hello great community people,Has any of you seen this before?! A user had accidentally responded to an email from SharePoint about a specific task. The email didn't include the correct outcome. SharePoint sent back the regular response saying that the response wasn't able to be interpreted. The suddenly duplicate emails are being send to the user every 30 seconds with the bold line below.. We have terminated the workflow, deleted the item and made sure the list item even is no longer there. We purged the workflow data. Nothing seem to stop those infinite notifications.First: How can we stop those notifications from being sent to the user?Second: What could have caused this to happen?Third: How would we provent this from happening if ever one user accidently responded to an email from SharePoint with an Invalid outcome! Using SharePoint 2016 on prem. _______________________________________________________________________________________________From: SharePointSent: October 3, 2018 3:34

Question for the mighty minds out there.   A form is submitted with a Status choice field marked "Not approved" Workflow 1 clears that field value by way of using a null variable, set through either Update Item or Set Field Value actions (assumption: this is the current value). Workflow 2 (conditional) is then supposed to kick in if previous value isn't equal to current value, but fails to do so. Is Workflow 2 still reading the field value as "Not approved" instead of null?      

Hello,   I am trying to create a List LookUp filter with a textbox. My problem is the filter is working only when I type down the full name of a value from the list look up. Example situation: A list which contains fruit names like: Apple,Apricot, Melon, Strawberry etc. I would like that my List LookUp field gives result(s) when I typed down only "Ap" to my textbox. In this case I needed to get "Apple" and "Apricot" values back. I use responsive nintex form. "%" or "*" suffix  is not working :( Has anybody idea to solve my problem?   Thank you!

Hi, I'm working on a form and I was wondering if it is possible to hide or disable a button in edit mode. For example, in the buttons' parameters, it is possible to disable it or hide it in "View Mode". I was wondering if it is possible to do the same in "Edit Mode" and "New Mode".

I am working on a responsive form for summer interns to fill out and I would only like them to be able to pick dates between June 15th and August 15th.  I am new to Nintex and am not sure how to accomplish this.  I assume it is under Use Range Validation within the Date/Time control, but I am not sure how to setup the formula.  Thanks.  

Hi guys, I am trying to create a workflow which contains an activity that is actually running a Macro VBA code from an Excel file, but I am getting an error which is not that descriptive. The only way I figured to run a macro from a VBA file is through SQL's SSIS and a Script Task. Everything runs smootly when I am running the package from SSIS, the same good outcome when I am running the Stored Proc from SQL which runs this package, but when I am running the Stored Proc from  SmartObject, I am retrieving this error: "Script Task: Error: Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation." From a quick search, I've seen that is a general issue and it does not really point to a specific issue and this is the reason of this post. Could you please tell me if this error/case is something you have seen until now? Also, I am open to other solutions then SSIS for running a Macro, but right now this was the single one I can see. Many thanks in advance!

I'm building an approval workflow to create a new site from values in a form.  I have set up a site collection workflow constant containing credentials for a system account, which I use in the Override Credentials section of a Web Request action and a Create Site action.  I enabled error handling in both actions and set variables to collect values and pass them to me via email if an error occurs.The system account is also a member of the Site Collection Administrators group.When the workflow is run, the Web Request action runs without issue, but the Create Site action fails.  The value returned from the error handling is "invalid username or password".I have tried typing the system account user and password directly into the Override Credentials fields in the Create Site action.  I've also tried typing in my own credentials.  Neither works.  When I remove the Override Credentials from the action and run the workflow as my user, however, the site is created.Suggestions?

Dear users,    I am developing an approval process where two board members have the possibility to accept, reject or request an expert opinion (request review) in parallel flexi tasks.   The choice, which experts to query for the expert opinion is done via checkboxes and variables. In both forms of the flexi tasks, there are the same checkboxes (var_reviewer_1 and var_reviewer_2). At the end of the parallel task an evaluation is done, to which experts the request review is sent.  However I am facing the problem, that if the first board member ticks var_reviewer_1 and the second board member ticks var_reviewer_2, only the second one is taken into account. So the checkbox variables are always being overwritten by the board member, that finishes his flexi-task as last.    Is there a possibility to change the value of the checkbox variables after submitting the form only if the checkboxes are ticked?    Thank you Kind regards Fabian

Hi.I have built a "custom inline function" according to Create Custom Inline Functions - Nintex Forms .The function works great - however I do not "see" the function. When I "assign a varibable" (as an example) I can add a reference and a window like the following appears:Here, the inline fuction only appears when I added run "nwadmin -o AddInlineFunction" using the correct LCID for the web. From the docs I was under the impression that the LCID was optional but it seems, only when the correct OCID is given the description and usage are visible.Is that a known limitation, or am I doing something wrong?P.S.Running Nintex Workflow 2010 2.5.4.20

If you need to audit which of your workflows have run and contained enterprise workflow actions, then you can run this script against your Nintex Content DB:   Select distinct WorkflowName, CurrentActivityTitle, ListID, SiteID, WebID from WorkflowInstance wi inner join WorkflowProgress wp on wi .InstanceID = wp . InstanceID inner join <Nintex Workflow ConfigDB>.dbo.Activities Ac on CurrentActivityTitle = ActivityName where RequiredFeatureSet = 100 Replace the <Nintex Workflow ConfigDB> with the name of your Nintex Config DB.   This script will need to be run against all of your Nintex Contents, and will only return those workflows that have been run at least 1.

I have action items that are pending for various managers which are entered in a list. I created a nintex workflow to send mail automatically to managers where ETA is already passed and status is still open.   I entered calculate date(Days<-15), query list (Filter status is equal to open, sort id as mycoll, used for each loop (Target collection - mycoll and store result in myitemid) within that send notification (email address). I am getting mails during the test run. There are three open items and it sends me same message 3 times, it is not looping to next message. What am I doing wrong.    

I'm trying to create a nintex workflow that will look at one field in List1 and compare it to a multiple choice field in List2.  List1 has ID, Title, Field1 (single line of text).  List2 has ID, Field2 (multiple choice categories), and created by   When an item is created is created in List1 the workflow should see if Field1 is in Field2 and then email the created by person in List2 for that ID.   EX: List1: 1       This is the title       Food category List2 1    Food Category, Shoe Category, Home Category     email1@email.com 2    Food Category, Yard Category                                 email2@email.com 3    Home Category                                                        email3@email.com   So in this example  email1@email.com  and  email2@email.com would be emailed. I'm using a for each loop and a condition but I can't seem to get the email peice correct.  Has anyone tried something like this they could help show me a flow and what I could do for this to work?

Hi, I have a SharePoint document Library in which users often upload documents with special characters in the document name. I'm looking for a way to detect the special characters, save them into a collection variable, replace them for valid characters and rename the document back to SharePoint.  So, for example, document with name "Test-1-ábc", (I've already found a way to remove the extension), when running through the workflow, the "á" character needs to be replaced by a simple "a", so the new name of the document will be "Test-1-abc".  Has any one tried this before? can you please shed a light on how you would try this on your end? No need for specific expressions, just looking for ideas on how to achieve this.  Thank you!

Hello,   I have a SharePoint 2013 List with 2 columns :   Poste A Poste A Yes No   I want to manage the information of "Poste A" and "Poste B" (Yes/No). The goal of this process is to run the workflow when the item is modified, for instance in this case I want to run the workflow when ID = 1 of Poste A is change to No (Yes to No).   To manage this value I want to use a Nintex Form 2013 like this :     The goal is too, to use this form with Internet Explorer en Google Chrome and Mozilla.   Have you got an advice for me for the development to make in the Nintex Form 2013 to manage the value of Poste with a Switch / Toggle Button ?   Regards,   Vijay Antoine MICK

Hi all! I have problem with autmotaically putting Info in a list.   On the Parent Site I have a List as my "Database" with the columns "Role" - "Resp. DE" - "Resp. CR" -... Under this parent site, there can be multiple project sites that all have a list with the same Column "Role". All elements in this coloumn are identical with the List on the parent site. But: there is only one coloumn "Resp." The coloumn "Resp." now has to be filled with information from the parent site list depending on the users input. If the choice is for example "DE", i want the workflow to copy all values from "Resp.DE" into that coloumn int the line with the same "Role" as in the parent site.    The Problem really is to get the Info from parent site as i can not select a list from the parent site in the "update multiple items" action...   Maybe the picture attached can explain in a very simple way what i am trying to achieve...   Any ideas?
