I'm migrating from On-Prem to On-Prem SharePoint and will migrate the Nintex workflows also. Source is using Standard Nintex for SharePoint destination is using Enterprise version of Nintex for SharePoint. Is this OK? Will it cause an issue?

Hi I wonder if someone can confirm the following: - There should be 1 Nintex WF database per content database? Is this a hard and fast rule? If so why is this recommended? What is the maximum number of Nintex WF databases alowed? Thanks in advance!

Hi, i am very new to Nintex and workflows in general.  I have been tasked with creating a workflow that will have about two steps.  First some background.  There are two lists, a survey list and an events list.  Here is what i need the workflow to do.  When "exercise" is selected from a dropdown in the events list, when the user hits submit (this is an InfoPath form) the workflow will fire off.  First a value from a different field will need to be populated in the survey list.  Then an email will need to be sent with a URL in the email body.   I believe I was able to set it up so the workflow will begin "exercise" is selected, and I was able to put the email notification action in, but i was not able to put in the URL I need.  When I put the URL in, it doesnt become a hyperlink, I need it to be a clickable link.  Also, in parallel, I was not able to find out how to set a fields value in a different list (the survey list).    Thanks for any help!

We have a Nintex Responsive form that kicks off workflows after it is submitted.  Management would like a popup page displaying a summary of what they have entered before the form is submitted.  This would be similar to purchasing items online when a display of order is summarized before you place your order.  I tried using the message on the save button but it will not hold the amount of characters that is needed.  

  I am trying to edit the Nintex form but I am receiving the below error, Note: I tried to deactivate and activate the "Nintex Forms for Nintex Workflow" under Site Collection Feartue but it did not work.          

Hi,   I want the list item content to be shown on the Infopath start form of a workflow (in SharePoint 2013).   Can somebody explain how to do this?   Thanks in advance and cheers,   Ulrich

I have an on-prem SharePoint with Nintex workflow. I had an experience a very strange problem with Nintex workflow where I have a number of workflow items that are running well at the beginning but suddenly at some stages of the workflow, the approver faced the common error "Sorry, something went wrong" when he tried to respond to a task. when viewing the workflow we get the following status. Please, a screenshot below:   Looking forward to your help. Thanks in Advance.

Hi Everyone, I am a newbie in nintex workflows and trying to create a workflow for the below requirement: 1. Email Notification on due date (Due Date column is there in list) 2. Email Notification on due date +10 days   I have seen few posts with similar requirements, but the solution outlined at high level. Requesting a solution step by step if possible :)

Hi all,   I have a workflow that emails a different Sharepoint email group depending on a condition (whether an incident is 1, 2 or 3). The 2 scenario has stopped working for the following error message I believe is because it cannot find the email group? I have checked the group still exists, and is set up the same as the 1 and 3 email groups that still work fine? I have tried deleting and readding the group and it is still not working correctly?   'RequestorId: e59a28d1-031e-7555-0000-000000000000. Details: System.Activities.Statements.WorkflowTerminatedException: SharePoint operation 'GetUsersByGroupNameAsync' did not return successfully. Status Code: [InternalServerError]{"odata.error":{"code":"-2146232832, Microsoft.SharePoint.SPException","message":{"lang":"en-US","value":"Group cannot be found."}}}'

Whenver i create a task on the web it displays just fine any type of tasks Request Data Request Review  Flexi Task but on mobile it says its downloading items but the no Tasks are displayed.    

I have a list/form that is amended by several teams and therefore the list items have a modified date of whichever team amends it last. For KPIs I am trying to calculate where bottle necks are and which teams are potentially delaying a process. I was hoping to be able to take the date that the Status choice control was changed and compare the difference in time to that of [Today] to see how long it is between status changes. Basically the status gets changed as the process progresses.    I am assuming it is a calculated value that I would need to use but have no idea how to get the last modified date from the Status choice control. 

I'm trying to get an email notifiation working but am stuck on the Run if configuration.   My use case: Person in PersonA field should receive an email notification if DateX field is empty.   When I do the Configure Action for the Run if, my first Where statement is "PersonA is not empty." Then I put And for the next condition. In the second condition, I want to put Where DateX is empty - but that's not an option - I have to enter a date (or one of the other options availalbe -  Workflow Data, List Lookup, etc. - none of which apply).   Thoughts?

I have need for very custom validation on an attachment field.We have a series of cascading drop down menus that make the attachment field visible based on the selections. When the conditions that make the attachments visible I want to require an attachment. When the attachments are not visible, I don't want attachments to be required.Anyone have a good way to go about setting this up? I don't see any way to do this with any of the out of the box functions and validation doesn't seem to work with rules either. I put a real simple condition like "IsEmptyOrNull" in the conditional validation field, and if I open the form initially then click save that validation kicks off, invalidates the form and puts my custom error message up, but the moment I select one of the cascading drop down options, the form "refreshes" and when I try to save the form, the attachment validation passes (even though I have not attached anything).

We currently have nintex workflow 2.3.14. We have created a nintex form and are trying to convert the form to PDF/Word document. We can't find "current item" option under reference. Are we missing something? Thank you!

Hi, I am using SharePoint 2010.  I have a site workflow which is scheduled to run every night.  It has started "misbehaving".  I cannot say it errors - because the strange behaviour that it exhibits is to run through the workflow - get to the end no errors and then pauses for a few minutes and starts again.   There is a pause for 1 min at the start of the workflow, but nothing at the end.  I didn't (and still dont) understand what was happening so at the end of the workflow I have added a Log in history saying "should be end of workflow" immediately followed by an End Workflow action. I have added a Log in history as the first action - "starting workflow".    When the workflow runs I can see the "starting workflow" in the log, and when it has completed the actions I can see the "should be end of workflow" message in the log - so I know it hits that action.  But the status of the workflow still says in progress, and after a few minutes the workflow starts at the beginning again with "st

We have a SharePoint list with thousands of entries. The list has Nintex forms. When I go to edit a list item or even view it, the "Working on it" screen never goes away and the form is never brought up. Is there a way to troubleshoot specific form entries or is this more of a SharePoint list thing? Could it be that the list items (there are 2 out of over 6k) are simply too large with all of the information/attachments?   I am not a SharePoint admin/developer and have just been thrust into learning Nintex from scratch, so go easy on me. Any assistance would be appreciated

I have created a form with a repeating section. Each repeating section has an attachment field. I have a workflow which takes all of the repeating section information and parses it out in a new list.    I'm trying to figure out how to get the attachments added to each of the repeating sections and moved to the new list along with the other repeating section information.   Any help is appreciated.

I am having an issue; the issue is I do not know where to start on the workflow for a general announcement/newsletter workflow. We have several companies and departments. I need to create a workflow that they would see the announcement on their intranet, if it is departmental only persons on the department can see it and the person who’s doing the announcement have to have permissions to do the general, department and company. Where do I start? I already created the form, but I am stuck? Thank you, for your help in advance.  

Hello All!   A few months ago, I found a "tutorial" that I used to add a button to start a SITE workflow in a web part on a list. The user would click the button, the workflow would start.   The problem is now, I can't recall how I did it or what I used as a guide. I understand how to add the "Start Site Workflow" to the list as a webpart with the start workflow form displayed, but I much rather need a simple, clean button. Instead of that page getting in the way.   Everything I can now find required SharePoint Designer, which I do not have.   Any help is appreciated.

Each week I upload an Excel file into a SharePoint list. In that list is field/column "Start Date" - a date field with date data coming directly from the Excel file. There is a separate field/column in the SharePoint list called "End Date" - this is a SharePoint calculated field that returns a date value 5 calendar days after the start date.   My requirements: 1 - The "Start Date" field needs to be visible and editable to users - to see it in the SharePoint list and see and edit it in the Nintex Form. 2 - The "End Date" field needs to be visible (not editable) to users in the SharePoint list as soon as the weekly upload is completed, and also be visible as an uneditable date in the Nintex Form.   I understand that this is not possible as I've described it, given that calculated SharePoint fields are not available to be shown on Nintex Forms. However, both of those are absolute requirements for my situation and I need to find some kind of solution to meet requirements #1 and #2 above in

I'm brand new to Nintex (using on a SharePoint list) and I'm getting really concerned about where to start.    To start, all I'm trying to do is set up simple alerts on a simple SharePoint list. And when I look for resources - online training, videos on YouTube - they are all explaining much more complex processes. And so much out there refers to an older version of Nintex.   Where is the best place to go to get this simple instructions for Nintex workflow on SharePoint use today?

Hi.   I suddenly keep getting this error when using Nintex Sign. 404 - {"error":"404 No element instance found with ID: 572341"}   It worked perfectly until now.  The error occurs at the "Wait for Signature" action. The workflow sends a contract for signature to two parties. This works fine, however the workflow fails and the following actions/steps are never initiated. How do i resolve this?  

Hi,I have a form with a few Text controls (data type: decimal) and Calculated Value controls that totals the contents of those text fields that looks like this:NOTE: The text controls are named 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 as specified by their corresponding labels.NOTE: The calculated values contain the calculations as specified in their corresponding labels e.g. 1+2+3+4+5 or sum(1+2+3+4+5), etcI've used 4 calculated values for demonstration purposes where the first calculated value is what I assume to be the correct syntax and works correctly. The remaining 3 are deliberately incorrect.Now if I delete a value from one of the fields the formula breaks:The first two values are totaled but the null value then breaks the sequence and the subsequent values are concatenated.At the moment I can work around this by using a zero instead of null but I would like to know if I'm doing something obviously wrong with the calculation.Thanks!

Can anyone explain how to get JavaScript to invoke on every repeating row?   I've never understood how to get it to work and would like a solution once and for all.   Does one need to use the NWF.FormFiller.Events.RegisterRepeaterRowAdded function? Refer to the data control name rather than the variable ID?   The JavaScript logic below is such that if Lease Start Date is not blank and Special Condition equals "Smoke alarms", the due date is automatically set to 28 days after the Lease Start Date.   My JavaScript below is only invoked on the first row, but not the rest. If anyone could help amend my script to make this work I would really appreciate it.   Lease Start Date is outside the repeating section Special Condition and Due Date is inside the repeating section.   What should I do?       var TriggerControls = [ // Build an array of the controls which, when changed, will evaluate the the conditions below NWF$('#' + SpecialCondition), NWF$('#' + LeaseStartDate) ] NWF$(Trigger

HelloI am trying to implement a worklow where the Flexi Task approval request is sent to a shared email (resource).Somehow not having much luck here and makes me believe that there must be a User account instead.I created a Permission group called HR Staff (Approval permissions) and within that group I have added the shared email account.  The workflow does send the approval request to that email BUT when trying to approve it shows:* You are not authorized to respond to this task.Even although the shared email group has got the Approval permissions.The Scope:Currently, there are 3 members of staff who look after the approval process. The workflow does sent an approval request to each of the members > who complain and rather want ONE central approval section. Ideally they want to the approval request to be sent to the shared email account and then be able to approve individually.My initial thought was to create a Group in domain active directory and then make the workflow send those
