I want to require a lookup list choice if they choose the Save and Submit button. I also have a Save as Draft button, which would not require the lookup list term.  Thanks in advance!

I am an advanced SP user but only developing Nintex 6 months. I have a lookup list of vendors.  Users have to pick 5 vendors, so I have 5 sharepoint lookup columns connected to the Vendors list (Vendor 1, Vendor 2, etc.)   I also have 5 "Final Selection" checkboxes next to each Vendor lookup column in the form.  Based on which Vendor they choose as final by checking the "Yes" box next to that Vendor, I need to populate the term from the lookup list to the final vendor choice.  I figured for the final vendor choice I could use the Calculated Value form control to create a formula that would copy the value in the corrosponding Vendor choice from lookup to the Calculated Value field.  Ideally I need a formula that recognizes "Final Selection" yes/no checkbox and only copy the 1 term to the Calculated Value form control field, as they are only supposed to select 1 final vendor choice.   I would even be willing to settle for a drop down list of only the choices seleved from the 5 Vendor loo

I have a workflow that I'm trying to get a person or group field to populate with a SharePoint group depending on what team is selected from the form. I need to send notification to the group of an assigned task. The field does not get set in the workflow, but after the workflow completes the field is populated with the correct group name. What's the deal?

    Hello On this page: https://help.nintex.com/en-US/nintex2016/4.4.0/#cshid=NintexWorkflowPurgeWorkflowDataSiteSettings   ...there is a link for Managing workflow history lists... ...that takes you to a page not found error.   Thanks!

I've created a Nintex form using the new responsive deisgner in O365. The designer has been great to build the form, but I'd like to understand the limitations of the predefined "Submit" button within the form. Right now after the client clicks on "Submit" all the information goes to my SharePoint list (great!) We want to give them the option to save the form before they hit submit. I know they can do that through the "Print" option on the top left corner of the webpage. But I find myself forgetting to save the form when I am filling it out. I've even added the note to either print or save to pdf before clicking on submit, but even I seem to forget.    So my question is how can I force them to save it to PDF? OR is there any way possible using workflow to push the data to my list and automatically trigger a save to PDF after they hit submit?    If you have any other suggestions or ideas that might be a better solution please let me know.    Thank you for your help! 

  An error I don't recall ever seeing before came up in two workflow error messages within 3 minutes of each other. Here's one of them:   The errors occurred on list items in two different site collections.   Can anyone provide more information on this error, what may have caused it, how it might be prevented in the future?   Thanks!

Hello all, I have a form that has a Status dropdown that is connected to a lookup list.  For every item within that Lookup list, I have a corresponding Date field.  So I have it set up like this:       Using the following formula, I can get the Draft date to invalidate when Risk Status has be set to Draft. parseLookup(RiskStatus) === "Draft" && isNullOrEmpty({Control:Self}) So that's great!  That's exactly what I want.   However, all these statuses should be visited in order during the course of my users' work.  So after Draft, this task should go into Pending Assignment.  But, I want to make it so that if a user tries to skip Draft and go directly to Pending Assignment, leaving the Draft Date field blank, it will invalidate the Draft Date field.  Every modifcation to this formula that I've tried has not worked.  It either doesn't honor the validation, or invalidates without me specifying the an additional status.  For example if I modify with just the additional next status:

Hey folks!I've an idea, and I'd like to source your input to help me put it together.I'm not great with CSS just yet, I'll admit; I go Googling about, and I play with the things I find. Sometimes they work, most times they don't.So, I had a thought: A CSS Catalogue, for Nintexers, by Nintexers - separated by form types, easily browsable.This is not intended to be super fancy or like, how to make a bird fly across your form if your name is Toby, but simple things, in a very simple format:((EXAMPLES ONLY))ScreenshotCSS.lblPanelHeader {background-color:#001E60;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff;}.btnManager input {background-color:#c8102e;color:#ffffff;font-size:14px;}The thought here is that, from people's kind contributions, I'd do the following:Take each submission;Categorize it by type (panel, input, button, etc)Make a "catalogue" type page (so you can see many and compare)  to add it to, with a Title of Contents -- this would then be PDF'd and updated as needed, and linked from here.Why am

Hello,   I have a list (Risk Appetite Matrix) which as a [Single line of text] index in the form of a number e.g. 12 or 34. I have a nintex form with two fields which are Number dropdowns, each is 1-4 I want to lookup in the first list the concatenation of the two values so that for instance: Risk Impact: 2      Risk Likelihood: 4     allows me to find the list record "24" (to retrieve a color)   For this I use: lookup("Risk Appetite Matrix", "Risk Index", parselookup(RiskImpact) + "" + parselookup(RiskLikelihood), "Risk Color")   This works perfect upon edit mode right after selecting the two dropdown values, confirmed in the Console: [Risk Appetite Matrix-8deff7b9-6d54-404e-9bc9-39acb8579b1f] - Querying SharePoint for list item data: Query [<View><Query><Where><Eq><FieldRef Name='Risk_x0020_Index' /><Value Type='Text' >24</Value></Eq></Where></Query><RowLimit>1000</RowLimit></View>]   But in Display mode, o

I cannot seem to get a signature pad (using jSignature) to work on an iPad but it works on my desktop and on a Surface Pro. (We use Sharepoint 2013) I have attached a sample file.   This is the be used for digital sign-in/attendence sheet for Training within my Coporation.

I have a form I need to include a signature to using a Topaz signature pad.  Have tried the jSignature.min.js & jquery using a mouse - the output wasn't acceptable by managers.  Any help will be appreciated.

Hi!I was able to configure Nintex Forms (shp2013 on-prem) using jSignature to work in NF desktop layout. Also did the Nintex Mobile configuration. However, I'd like to understand how to configure everything to capture digitized signature by using external pad (hardware e.g. Topaz or similar).(The business case is to ask for visitors signature for compliance to rules on security check-point entering industrial territory).Thanks for input!Martins

I created a Nintex workflow with a Send Notification that should include a PDF copy of a letter from the SharePoint list.  The letter was created with JungleDocs.   The email sends but the PDF isn't attached. It's just an error file. This is what I have in the Nintex Send Notification attachment link -  the URL from SharePoint and then I selected "urlPath" from the "Workflow Variables".  By default "Existing SharePoint Content" is checked. This is the error that is included on the attachment in the email: Error attaching file from https://(our internal SP URL).org.System.InvalidOperationException: Unable to retrieve file. Is the attachment URL valid? ---> System.ArgumentException: Value does not fall within the expected range.at Microsoft.SharePoint.SPWeb.GetFile(String strUrl)at Nintex.Workflow.HumanApproval.MessageAttachment.GetAsMailAttachment(String processedSource, String processedFileName, INWWorkflowContext context)--- End of inner exception stack trace ---at Nintex.Workflow.

If you managed to get a process into production without implementing proper error handling, this little console app might save you. It will retry errored process instances and take a break between each retry giving overburdened integrated resources time to catch up.

Hello All,  I have been searching and searching for an answer and thought i was close a few times but i have found myself at an impass. I have an rather complex approval workflow for my department, at the end of the flow i am working on creating a new item on a seperate site (both on prem) that communicates the changes that have been made. Part of this communication is providing the process(s) the change applies to and the L3 owner of those processs, which are both lookup columns to lists on that site. i have attempted multiple ways to send this information across but keep recieving errors on the action. my latest attempt has been to make exact copies of the lookup lists on the workflow site and have the workflow query the lists and retrieve the item ID(s) then send across the item ID(s) to the created item, this did not error but it left the field blank. Any assistance would be greatly appriciated and i can provide any additioal info if you have questions. thank you!

 Symptoms  After a period of using K2 designer/runtime, a popup message is displayed with the following message:"Your session will expire in another seconds. Please save your progress before the session expires."Where is an active countdown. (Default: Starts countdown from 30s)  Diagnoses  If you are using Claims (Default for K2 blackpearl 4.6.7 and above), the default session lifetime is 8 hours. Starting from the time when a user loads the K2 designer/runtime after its previous session ended/expired, a new session of 8 hours starts from then, and the popup message will display 30 seconds before the 8 hours is up. For example, a developer loads the K2 designer at 9am in the morning, nearing the end of 5pm on the same day, the session expiration message will appear.Please note that closing/reopening the browser during the session lifetime will not extend the session.  Resolution To extend the session lifetime, do the following1.

In this short article https://community.nintex.com/t5/How-To-s/How-to-remove-Headers-and-Footers-from-email-templates/ta-p/90480 the author describes how to make sure that headers and footers in Send notificaiton actions only appear when needed. I am developing a workflow, where I'd like to disable the default footer and header that is used elsewhere on the site.   My question is, if I follow the author's advice and set the "Enforce message header and footer" to "No", will this disable the footers and headers on existing workflows?    I would have tested it, but I'm afraid to affect the existing workflows.

I have a nintex form with a repeating section that is rather wide, ie many controls. I would like to freeze the left most textbox, while the end user scrolls so that they can see which record they are on. Is there a way to do this with javascript? I only want to freeze it horizontally. I have been playing around with css but cannot seem to get it to work.   Thanks JP
