Hello, I'm creating a multilingual form and was wondering if it is possible to create dynamic button labels. For example, instead of creating a validation button for French and a validation button for English, create a unique button where its label changes when the user switches between French and English. Is something like this possible without using JavaScript ? Thanks !

I need to hide the attachemnts panel in my nintex form. I used this formula by creating the calculated column. (current user (Email)!=userName). But, My chalenge is when new form loaded, it hided the attachement panel all the time. When users trying to open the form to submit the form, it should open the attachement panel to attach documents. How do i create a formula to fix that 

I was actually trying to build this in Infopath, but ran into multiple issues using it. So I will try Nintext to see how much easier it is. I am doing this on Nintex Forms in SP2016.   Issue: Need to take three different populated fields and display multiple results in one field in a format. Objective: I need to take the information from Application & Date and display information in a Multi line text field.   The three fields that will be populated are called: Application (this is a lookup field from another list) Date which includes hour and minutes.  For Date, I need to be able to determine if it is a weekday or weekend. For the Hour field that is included in the date, will also be used to determine what is being pulled from a separate list. (This is a different list than what was mentioned previously)   The separate list on the same site called KPI has the following columns. Application, Day (Weekday or Weekend are the only choices), Time (displayed as hour 12AM, 1AM, etc..), KP

Hi, I have a Nintex form and that has multiple fields and choices. Few of those choices are populated based on the other lists in SharePoint using list lookup. The form is working fine and saving/showing the data.   I exported the list and form, and imported in another site (for back up purpose), now the fileds which were linked are coming up as blank in the form, if I create a new entry it works, but the fields which are linked using list look up are not visible in the form.   Has anyone faced this issue and how you addressed it? Thank you. Kind regards,Ahmed Khan

Any idea how to delete a certain range of items from the list?

I created a simple custom action with Nintex 2013 template and I deployed in a SharePoint 2016 server. After the deployment the action is visible in the side panel in the Nintex workflow designer but when I drag and drop the action in the designer nothing happens, the action doesn't appear in the workflow. In the console appears the following error each time I tryed to drag and drop the action in the designer: The error appears with several browsers (IE 11, Chrome). What does the error mean?   The action is enabled in the actions list and it is configured as follow:   

Hi,  I'm working in Nintex 3.3.1.0 on SharePoint 2013.  I have a list of items and I need to create a workflow that will send a notification to the person in the AssignedTo field if the Status field has not changed from "Not Started" to "Accepted" in 2 working days.  I'm thinking to start the workflow when an item is created, to check the list for items that have the Status field "Not started", pause the workflow for two days, check the list again for those items that have the status field still set on "Not started" to send a notification however I'm not sure how to actually configure this or if there is a better option.    Can you share any suggestions?  

I'd like to get an email address of a person returned from a sharepoint lookup in a calculated value. The column in the sharepoint list is a person, not a string, but it is returned with prefixed apparently with some index semicolon and hash, and then a Last Name, First Name.   Firstly, parseLookup() does not work on the forth argument to lookup. Onlyon Lookup List value types. Second, userProfileLookup() wants a real person field, not some string. Ideally I could do something like: lookup("Projects", "Title", parseLookup(Standard), userProfileLookup("Project Manager", "WorkEmail")) Instead I have to suffer with something quite ugly like this just to get the Last Name, First Name substring(lookup("Projects", "Title", parseLookup(Standard), "Project Manager"), 4, length(lookup("Projects", "Title", parseLookup(Standard), "Project Manager")))And even this is shaky as the index/id could be 1-x digits, not just 2. Has anyone done this? (Without creating another column in the source list wit

I am a new user to Nintex so sorry if this is a simple problem. I am trying to use the userProfileLookup tool to output the current user details (department, title etc) in a Nintex 2013 form. I am using the Calculated Value form with the formula: userProfileLookup({Common:CurrentUser},"Department") . When I actually view the form all I get is #Value! in the field. I know that that formula should work because I have used it as a Form Variable and loaded it from a Workflow. Thanks for the help

Hi, Simple request how do you copy an attachment from a Request Data action into the parent list item in a 2016 workflow?  Seen lots of posts but none seem to address this fully.    Thanks Chris

Hi Everyone,   I have a workflow with a flexi task in it to approve items. The behaviour is set as per the screen print below for "All mus agree". The problem is that when one of the approvers rejects the approval, the other approval requests seem to be still active, and the other approver does not recieve a message to say their approval is not required.   I have included the portion of the workflow which relates to the flexi task and the flow on steps for approval/rejection.   Am I missing something? Thanks.            

I have a form containing the preparers name.  The Print PDF function is appending a path to userdisp.aspx which nobody needs or wants to see.  It looks something like:Smith, Jo (Departments/Engineering/SiteName/_layouts/15/userdisp.aspx?ID=123)Anybody know how to disable or hide the unwanted information after the user's name?Thanks

Hi, I have an external list imported to the SharePoint from SQL Database and what I noticed is that I cannot use the lookup function in the calculation filed within the list form. I have inside this DB informations about the emplyees and i need to match them with the current user (location, personal numbe etc..). As the funcion dont return en errow while reviewing the form it always give back the '#Value!' - so I'm assuming the sytax is correct.   This is my syntax: lookup("xxxxxxxx|CommonDBView","Employee - Domain identifier",CurrentUser,"Employee - Personal Number")   Domain indentifier was desinged to be exactly the same as Current user as while I was doing same thing before but not with SQL DB but with updating SharePoint list form Access averything was working well :)   Should that lookup function work and I'm doing something wrong? Or it's just a way it is?

Out organization had a SharePoint 2010 site which was migrated to SharePoint 2013. All of its Nintex workflows were also been migrated few years back.   The workflows are running quite good. But any of the workflow is not visible in Workflow inventory. I have site collection admin access. I am able to view and edit new workflows but can see none of the migrated workflows. I can see all workflows and .xoml files associated to it using SharePoint designer. These workflows are located in NintexWorkflow folder.   I tried following things but that did not help: 1. Checked assiciated list id using SharePoint Designer, it is correct for all flows. 2. Tried opening the Nintex workflow, but it is not showing any of the existing workflows. 3. Tried opening AllItems.aspx for NintexWorkflows hidden document library, no luck. However this is opening in SharePoint Designer   I have tried opening inventory with Production as well as development license. Both the places behavior is same. Also tried wi

We just updated Nintex Forms from 2.9.2.0 to 2.11.5.30. After the update some of our forms won't Print To PDF. On some of our forms the feature works fine but on others it comes up and says "Converting to PDF..." for a brief time and then that goes away but nothing happens. In Chrome we get the same message but it doesn't go away and nothing else happens.    I reviewed the ULS logs and found the following error: "Unable to convert to pdf. System.Exception: HTML load error. Unknown network error at Winnovative.HtmlToImageConverter" And "Application error when access /_layouts/15/nintexforms/PrintPdf.aspx, Error=Object reference not set to an instance of an object. at Nintex.Forms.SharePoint.ApplicationPages.PrintPdf.ProcessPdfResponse"   I've seen some other similar posts but the answers didn't seem to help. There are no background images on the form, I have tried removing all custom JS and CSS from the form, I have checked the "Replace a process level token" policy in Local Security Po

Not sure if anyone else is having this problem or if it is just me.  I'm seeing this issue on Chrome, Firefox and the new Edge. When creating a rule that has a large condition, the condition box gets pushed past the visible edge of the screen.  I can increase the visible percentage of my browser, which will eventually create a scroll bar to allow me to see (and edit) the rule.  If I open it up in it in Explorer, I do not see this problem.  Has anyone ran into this?  Is there a way to fix this issue?   Seen without any visual changes. Blown up to 150%, finally gives me a scroll bar to be able to see the entire rule and edit it. This one is the same rule showing in IE11.  The ability to edit the rule appears here and you can see the text is visible with a scroll bar that will allow me to review the rule.    

Hi,For a given email address, e.g. john.smith1@hello.co.uk, how could I extract the text before the "@" and store it in a variable? Which, in this case would be john.smith1Usually I would use the 'Left' function but that doesn't seem to be present in Nintex.Any ideas? Thanks

Hi Everyone, My workflow was previously working as intended but with the departure of our digital analyst and his administrator account, my workflow became broken after the administrator connection dropped. I created a new connection for my company sharepoint site and can successfully "create an item" and "update an item" in a list but when it comes to "get a file" which is used to obtain a document template for document generation, it just breaks and gives me error - 504 undefined. What is the problem if I can edit my lists but nintex workflow cloud breaks when I try to get a file from a document library?    I've asked IT to create a new connection with myself as the owner and it still does the same thing. Any help would be appreciated.      Thanks, Bryce
