Hi - I've got a list with a workflow on it that creates a FlexiTask. I've modified the task form using Nintex Forms.   When some of my users open the task form, it loads in the default SharePoint style and the formatting is all wonky. If I open the exact same link the Nintex version of the form loads for me.   I believe the problem is related to permissions. If I log into a different computer the form still loads correctly for me. I created a test user and assigned them permissions to the source list and ensured they have permissions to the workflows tasks list but the form doesn't load correctly.   Not sure what I'm missing? Any pointers appreciated!   Thanks, Jumpin'

I have a SharePoint form library created with Microsoft InfoPath 2013 that's been published to my SharePoint site.  We've manually worked with the forms for a little while, but I'm now seeking to add process automation with Nintex.   When I configure either "Set field value" or "Update item", the fields I created in the InfoPath form and pulled in as SharePoint columns when the form was published don't show up.  The only fields listed for "Current Item" are Content Type, Name, and Title.    However, when using Update Item, if I do a query within my form library instead of just using Current Item, it will pull in all the appropriate fields, but I've had some problems with the queries also, so I'd rather just be able to use the Current Item.   I feel like I'm missing something really basic... like Nintex doesn't know that the workflow is scoped to the specific type of form in this form library.  Any advice on how to get the other fields to show up in the drop down?

Hi all,   I want to outsource most of the texts I have in my workflow and therefor build a table containing all texts. These texts consist of fixed stringparts and variable once.   So this is one example entry within my "text table".   To get this running I need two workflow actions:   1. Looking up the right text within my "text table"   2. Parsing the text to replace the variablenames with variablecontent. Unfortunately this is only working for the first part, not for the second:   WHY????? :( :( :(   Cheers mai-kel    

Hello! I have a classic form with a multiselect field. In some cases, i need to select an option with JavaScript. The option in the second box is the selected option added with JavaScript. But if i save the form, it doesnt saves this data, the second box will be empty. If i add another option with the add button, all data will be saved, the one added with JavaScript too.   This is the JS:   Thank you very much!  

I have two collections of data that I get from a query list action. The first is a list of names: Collection 1 person1 person2 person3 The second is a list of dates that the people in the first list will be on vacation for: Collection 2 11-05-19 11-16-19 12-15-19 I want my list to look like this: person1 - 11-05-19 person2 - 11-16-19 person3 - 12-15-19 but I cant seem to find a way to do that in Nintex.   In a programming language, all I would need to do is loop through one list and concatenate the current index items from both lists:   for(int i=0; i<collection1.size; i++){      merged_list[i] = collection1[i] + collection2[i]      i++; } Any suggestions? 

Hi all, I´m struggling since hours to implement a requirement in a Nintex form:   The goal is to show or hide the save button based on a group membership within a multi step  approval workflow.  E.g: The "creater" group should see the save button, if they create a request. If they have created the request and saved, the "Approver" group should check the formular, but in this  time the create group should not be able to change the formular and therefor I want to hide the save button. This is what I have implemented at the save buttons as an expression:   fn-IsMemberOfGroup("Creater") && Is New Mode or  fn-IsMemberOfGroup("Approver") && CurrentResponsibleSharePointGroup == Approver   It seems, that even the first part does not work and I don´t know why. Any ideas?    

Hello, I am trying to retrieve all the failed workflows in my site. Using this information, i will cancel those workflows and restart in order for things to work correctly.  Currently i could not find a way in which i can find failed workflows. I do have a script that lists all the workflows from Nintex Database Any help would be greatly appreciated.   Thanks, Mitali

I am attempting to generate a document based on responses in a form. I only want the fields that have either a response (any data) in them or possibly specific responses. I'm good with either for now. The doc that gets generated can have just a list of those responses, just as long as it's only those.   The process I'm going through is creating a Risk Assessment form, that first a vendor and internal point of contact fill out, and then gets passed along to our security team for responses. My goal is to have a Risk Assessment Report created that displays the comments to various responses by the security team, but only the ones that they have typed a comment.

I'm currently working on a workflow project for our HR department's position search process.  This process involves checking for current employees who would like to "bid" for an open position that is eligible.  There will also be times when employees aren't eligible to bid, but can still "express interest" should the position be posted internally.   I've been attempting to get this process to work by using two state machines, one of which is nested in the first state machine.   The root state machine starts in the bidding state: After a series of tasks in the bidding branch, the workflow makes it the nested state machine that I am trying to use to handle Bidders vs. Internal Interested employees.  This nested state machine starts in the Bidders state: Within the bidders state of the Nested State machine branch, I have a series of flexi-task, to-do task, and notifications.  If the most senior bidder declines the job offer, but there are still interested bidders, the state machine wi

Hi everyone, We have some issues with opening Nintex form on our UAT environment and we think this might be because of the different version. When we open Nintex form in Live environment we have the option of Responsive and Classic and we are missing that on UAT environment. We dont have this issue on Production. Our Nintex live version is version: 4.1.1.0 Our Nintex UAT version is version: 4.0.0.0 My question is how i can match the UAT version to Production? Regards

I have a rule where users cannot select the current month, only previous months. Is there a rule where I can have a single user "John" to be able to override those rules to submit a form in the current month? Thanks in advance.

I can get data out of a one repeating section, create items in another list, and update multiline field with a nice HTML table. But, i am not able to do the same more than one repeating section. Can someone put a solution?

I have a scheduled site workflow that for some reason will error out with the message "Failed on Start".  The workflow will run for approximately 35-40 minutes before the error occurs.  It will also be doing tasks associated with the workflow.  When I look at the workflow status, I see the error "The workflow could not update the item, possibly because one or more columns for the item require a different type of information".  I find this odd as all this workflow is doing is matching up a student with a teacher, capturing the teacher's email address, and writing the teacher's email address to the list.  I'm performing a Query list to pull in all the forms in a list.  Right now there around 1000 items.  I'm pulling out the list ID and a studentID and assign those to collection variables.  My next step is a loop to review each item.  I perform a Get Collection operation to assign the studentID to a workflow variable.  The next step is an Execute Sql.  I'm quering a database to select the

Hi Team,   I am stuck in switch action in workflow. I have total 17 switch values. i added 16 succesfully but when i add the 17th case last one is getting removed and new is getting added in the branch. Is there any limitation for no. of switch values?    Regards, Hema

Is it possible to create a lookup to a list within my same domain but on a different server?   Example: My SharePoint site/list lives here:  http://app290.domain.com/sites/Region/Lists/ListName I'm able to do this lookup to a different list on my same site without issue.     However, I want to do a lookup to a list on this site:  http://app295.domain.com/sites/Region/Lists/DesiredListName   I've tried doing this: lookup("http://app295.domain.com/sites/Region|DesiredListName", "PRJID", 12345, "PRJ_Cost")   This is not working and I'm wondering if it's even possible with the list being on a different server? Any thoughts/feedback would be appreciated. Thank you.

Hi Community,we're using Chrome (Version 77.0.3865.90)   Sometimes when we Call Nintex Forms from a SharePoint-Site, (for example rightclick to the document --> "properties") the browser won't load nintex forms correctly and we get this screen: Nothing happens then. If we try the same call in Internet Explorer, it works without problems and the Nintex Form will be loaded. This problem occurs only sometimes. Most of the time it works fine with Chrome as well. But, for example, my colleague has got a new notebook some days ago and with this notebook and the same chrome version (always with win10), he still gets always the screen from the screenshot and with IE he has no problems.Do you know this?! What can we do? Chrome is our company-standard browser.Thanks in advance!

Hi Team,   Is there a way to get the list of Nintex forms configured in SharePoint Online Tenant? or how to find the lists in SP Online tenant (including Site collections and sub-sites) where Nintex forms are configured?   Thanks, Gubendra

We are debating whether to use Documents or Document Sets in an application. I'm wondering if anyone has created new document sets with workflows on SharePoint 2013 on premise? And what their experience was?Maybe they even have a workflow example?

A customer has recently asked me for an automated procedure to use a weekly file to create a list. At this point I'm thinking the file would be a CSV (Comma Separated) or an Excel File.  I have no problem deleting the old list. I'm just not sure how to access the file and if I understand how to read the data, I can build new records.If you have some code segments or workflows, that would help.thanks,Stephan

Hi all,   I have been tasked with creating multiple workflows on lists to guage user productivity. I have created a very simple workflow that runs perfectly on several lists:    When an item is modified, grab list name, user name, date and time, etc and create a new entry on a "productivity list."   The only issue is that some lists have workflows that update items that are triggered by a user making a modification. This in turn creates multiple entries for the user as they are the initiator of the triggered workflow.    Is there a way to separate the items updated by the workflow due to the user initiating the workflow from the genuine user updates?    I've considered adding an "updated by workflow" column to each lost and having each workflow update THAT column with "yes" after making it's updates and having the productivity workflow ignore those with "yes" in the column. However, I've found  that the user will update an item again and it obviously won't be counted now that the workf

I'm trying to create a workflow to remind users to fill in meta data, so If a list item field is empty (in this case a lookup field) then run something (send an email)However the problem is when I select Run If -> Current Item -> Field A -> Equals -> value -> (leave value field empty) I cannot publish the workflow. The field I want to check against is a lookup field How do you get around this issue please?

I am new.  This site has been very helpful.  I have searched and not found an exact soultion. I need to count workdays.  Can you do this in a calculated column?  I have 2 date fields and the calculated coulmn gives the total days, but I only want workdays.  No weekends.  Is there a workday function that would do this. Or a simple workflow.  I tried run if  fn(date, "dddd" was not equal "S" for Sat or Sun.  but did not get the correct answwer.  I saw the UDA but have not been able to get that to work.

When using multiline text Enhances rich text field in Nintex forms, there seems to be an unwanted leading space/character when filling out the form on load. This can cause issues during validation using Nintex workflows. I ran into this issue where I needed to check if my mlt field was null and always returned not null value due the unwanted leading space.    My solution was to change the multiline text field rich text and this fixed my issue.

Right, I have the following code, which I like to .change when the dropdown is == RecipientHow do I filter the var CollectedBy based on the selection?NWF$(document).ready(function(){ var CollectedBy = NWF$(".CollectedByClass"); CollectedBy.change(function(){ NWF$(".CollectedByUserClass").val('Testing'); }); });Scenario:If dropdown == Recipient then update .CollectedByUserClass to "Test1"If dropdown == Somebody else then update to "Test2"If nothing is selected then leave the field "blank". I am getting frustrated over this ... can't find a reliable page on here which helps me in establishing it.
