Looking for some assistance with creating a workflow that pulls data from List A and pulls looped though data from List B, then combines the data in an email notification. We are using SharePoint 2016 on premise.   Currently this is a workflow created on List A   List A - Supply Request: This is the parent list. Only one parent per request Columns: Item, Vendor, Total Cost, ID (list created ID), etc...   List B – Expense Items Columns: Expense Type, Quantity, SRID (SRID is linked to the List ID in the Lisa A – Supply Request), etc... Each parent request from List A, can have multiple child records from List B.   Using just Lisa A: my problem is when I try to pull the child records from list B, no results are included in the email notification.   Here is my current workflow for List A:             Query List A and place each option into a collection.                           Query List B and place each option into a collection                         Build eMail string                 

This feels like it should be easy but I'm having trouble with this issue. So I have an email enabled document library that is feeding data to a tasks list. Basically in an email enabled list you only have the email sender and email subject as columns. So I'm doing most of my pulling from the subject line. The basic idea is to have the user list tasks and seperate by a semicolon so that eventually I can pull them and separate them. There's also at the end of this string in the subject I have a task type name then a number that I can eventually convert to a date. So essentially a subject field could would at most look like this (I'm going max 5 seperate tasks could be less)   Task 1;Task 2;Task 3;Task 4;Task 5, Task Type, 8 I can pull the Task Type and date easy enough then convert the semicolons to commas so my variable would have the below data   Task 1,Task 2,Task 3,Task 4,Task 5 Unfortunately the Regex action only lets me store this in another variable not a collection. Pulling these

Hello,last week I installed the newest Version of Nintex Forms, since then my user have the problem that they can't upload files as attachments that are stored on our network drives in several folders. They become the error message "The specified file or folder name is too long. It should not be more than 128 characters". But only if we use Nintex Forms on the list! For tests I deleted the Nintex Forms on the list and the upload is working again. If I copy the files to the desktop and upload it, it works.I already wrote to the support, but maybe someone here can help me too

I have a NF Responsive form (v2.11.4.30) with the standard attachment control. When users try to attach a file that has a full path (drive, folder, & filename) that is long, they get a pop-up error, that their filename exceeds 128 characters. This only happens in IE11 (all modes) and Microsoft Edge. It doesn't occur in Chrome.  Our users typically attach files from network shares that have long paths.   I can't force users to switch browsers, and I would have a hard time convincing users to copy their file locally, then attach that copy.    Has anyone run into this issue before?

I am using Nintex Forms and Workflow for a Leave Request/Approval Process that utilizes a Sharepoint Calendar List so we may sync the leave with our Outlook Calendar. The process of inputting leave requests, securing approval and syncing with Outlook works perfectly. We have an issue when it comes to events that need to be entered as a Series.   The Series itself will input and work through the approval process. Once approved it will load to the Outlook calendar as well. The series will display appropriately on the weekly date., If a user needs to make a change to an item in the series we run into issues.   It will not allow us to edit an item, just the series itself. This process gets complicated because in order to sync correctly with Outlook we are bound to only a few fields - Title, Start Time and End Time. In order for the data to sync to Outlook we MUST use these fields so we have a lot of manipulation going on in the background to set/reset these fields so the data appears corre

I have a calendar list app and the Nintex workflow action creates a calendar apt. The event is being sent to Exchange Web Services without a time zone at all, so Exchange sends it back without a time zone. That is then handled by the regional settings on the calendar list, so it displays correctly on the outlook calendar in CT time. However, when you open it...the time and time zone are Monrovia, Reykjavik, I guess the calendar list item has no time zone information, so it defaults to the generic UTC time zone.How can I get the time and time zone to display properly in outlook when they open the calendar appointment?

Hi all,   I have a SharePoint list, where it might occur that entries miss data in required fields. I want to solve this problem with a workflow that request the data from a user. At the moment I have the following workflow for each column: Query list and get all items with an empty entry in this column Call child workflow for each Item. -> the child workflow uses the operation "request data" to make the user provide the data My problem with this workflow is, that if an item is missing data in several columns the user is contacted for each column individually and also has to provide the data individually. It would be much better to send one mail with a link where he can provide everything that is missing.    Is there a way to accomplish that?

Users are unable to publish workflows. They can create and save them, but when going to publish them they are either getting an error message saying that they don't have permission or they are getting a pop-up continually asking for their credentials. When they cancel out of the pop-up, they are getting a 401 error. When I checked the ULS logs it says that they don't have a windows identity. Claims to windows token service is running just fine. I as a site collection/farm admin am able to publish workflows. I'm sure I'm overlooking something simple, but I can't seem to track it down.

​I have a SharePoint list with a lookup column that includes additional fields from the lookup list. In the column settings, I have: Get information from: Services Request AreasIn this column: Service AreaAdd a column to show each of these additional fields:Point of contact 1Point of contact 2ID My list settings have the following columns:Service AreaService Area:Point of contact 1Service Area:Point of contact 2Service Area:ID In Nintex Forms, the List Columns controls has a List Lookup control for the Service Area column but not for the additional lookup fields (Point of contact 1 and Point of contact 2). I can access the Service Area column and display the values in the form. How can I access the additional lookup fields (Point of contact 1 and Point of contact 2) in the form?

Hello Nintex community! This my first time using Nintex, and I'm thinking there should be a way to do what I need to do, but I'm not finding it. :) I may be biting off more than I can chew.    I have an existing Nintex form linked to a SharePoint list and Document library to manage product information creation and copywriting, and I'm working on getting a workflow to send notifications and manage approvals. The best option would be to have the document created at the beginning of the process using the workflow.    There's standard text based on an element in the list (product type, features, etc) and I'd like to do something like if/or when generating the documents. i.e. if X, use "this text" here.    The catch is the standard text isn't in the SharePoint list, it stored the variable. I'm not sure how to get the workflow to make that function. Will I need to store the standard text somewhere else and add it based on the SharePoint list? I looked into the content control options but tha

I have an approval workflow that contains a set of parallel Flexi tasks that runs 4 separate Review & approval processes in tandem. Each separate branch of the parallel action requires different outcomes based on each reviewer or approver. Separate list fields will be updated based on their outcomes.   Is there a way to terminate / end the other 3 Flexi tasks, if the approver responds first? Is there a way to set up order between all 4 “Assign Flexi Tasks”?   And still send Notifications that a task regarding this item no longer requires your response.   Thank you in advance for your time and help!

Hello, I am looking for a way to add an item to a list B from the nintex form of the list A without adding it to list A (I did it using data connexions in InfoPath, please see http://geekswithblogs.net/KunaalKapoor/archive/2012/04/30/how-to-submit-data-from-an-infopath-2010-form-to.aspx) Thank you.

I have setup a site workflow that sends an email for notifications when a list item is due.  I'm trying to include the list item URL as part of the email, but I'm having trouble. In the site workflow, I insert the "Encoded Absolute URL", but this didn't produce the desired results.  it adds a number to the end of the URL that when clicked downloads an empty file onto the desktop.  For example, normally the list item URL should be:https://team.local.website/sites/somesubsite/Lists/some%20Tracking%20Log/DispForm.aspx?ID=105However when using the "Encoded Absolute URL" I gethttps://team.local.website/sites/somesubsite/Lists/some%20Tracking%20Log/105_.000What am I doing wrong?  I'm using Nintex WorkFlow 2013 with SharePoint 2013.

Hello, We have an issue with Add user to AD group Action that we would like to know if anyone has seen before. In our AD we have 7 domains and the domain that contains the groups we would like to add someone to is in domain X. If the user is also in domain X it works great. If the user is not in domain X the action does not work, as the action is only looking into the 1 path.   “Add user to AD Group” Has three main fields (ignoring credentials) to cause an add or remove (“Remove user from AD Group”) to happen.   LDAP path User (SamAccountName) Group   If we set the LDAP path to the domain where the Group is located (in x.ca) and the user is a user located in x.ca the add or remove works fine.  If the user is not in x.ca then the action will error out with “user not found” type error. If we set the LDAP path to match the domain of the user and the user is not in x.ca the action will error our because it cannot find the group (as it is located in x.ca). We need a fix for this before we c

I am trying to develop a workflow to count holidays.  Have the idea to format date , "MMdd" excluding the year.  I want it to loop using create date incrementing by 1 until it equals SentDate.  I was thinking of using a switch or run if as I need 1224 (christmas eve to add .5) and 1225 (christmas Day to add 1).  What I envisioned is it looping until create date = sent date and each time the incrementd date would get formatted to MMdd and checked and either add .5 for half day or 1 for full day off.  Excluding the year would allow it to run indefinatly. The set Holiday = to sum of all between create date and sent date.Any help is greatly appreciated.  This is my first loop.   Thank you.

Simple question, how can I round integer numbers to 2 places after the decimal within a workflow?   Cheers mai-kel

Here's a good one. In the latest release of Nintex Forms for SharePoint 2016 (4.5.1.20), there is a bug in the Person or Group field control.   If you have a person or group field on a list item in SharePoint, that allows groups, and the list item field is pre-populated with a group name, if you have that field on a Nintex Form, it will empty the field contents on submit if the field has a group name in it, and you don't alter the content of the field while in the form.   We had this occur in a group of sizeable workflows - it took 4 days to narrow it down. I have informed Nintex support.

Looking for some HELP!   I want to be able to collect up to 10 x metrics on a Nintex Form in the appearance of a table, that maps the data collected to a SharePoint List as 10 Individual Row Records. I've tried to visualise this on the attached.   On attempting this, I can fill 10 x metrics out on the form but when this is saved, only one row appears in the SP List. Is the answer somewhere in the 'List Column' settings of Nintex? Maybe I need to create a condition or formula   Has anyone done something similar or may know of a way to achieve this?   Any help would be extremely welcome :)

Description    The K2 Management Shell provides PowerShell cmdlets as wrapper around the K2 API?s so that administrators and developers can more easily manipulate K2 in a programmatic fashion. This solution was developed specifically for K2 4.7 and K2 Five. The cmdlets have not been tested with previous versions and there are no plans to make it work with older versions. It has been tested on Server 2012 R2 and Server 2016 and requires .Net Framework 4.6.1. This solution is provided as-is and should be tested before being put to use in any production environment. The cmdlets are fully functional and will work with other common PowerShell commands (i.e. Select-Object, Where-Object, Sort-Object). Any cmdlets that accept input from the pipeline will also be called out in the description of the parameters they use.     This solution was developed to minimize activities that would usually require manual database changes or read access to the K2 database. Since all cmdlets use the underlying

I am looking for a quick solution while taking some time to work out a long term solution using 3 x connected lists. At the moment existing data is not rendering correctly in Nintex.   Temporarily, I want to be able to use my New Nintex Form for collecting input into my lists, but revert back to use the standard SharePoint 2013 OOTB list views for the 'Edit' and 'Display' Forms.   Can this be done?
