I have a form that I created in Nintex Workflow Cloud that is configured to require a user to log in to view the form. How can I display the name and email address of the logged in user in the form itself? I know that once the form is submitted I can grab that information but I would like to display it in the form itself when it loads.

Hello,   This is my very first form in Nintex and I have created a responsive form and would like for the borders of the fields to be displayed even when the form is displayed in view/display mode.  The majority of the employees viewing the data for this form only have Read Only access so the there is lots of white space with nothing to define the fields where data is inputted.   I appreciate any help on how this can be done.   Thanks!  

I am torubleshooting an exising workflow, specifically an error when setting a variable using a lookup. The field is Person/Group and I get this error (screenshot) I have tested the same action on a brand new list with the exact same configuration and fields and it resolves correctly (screenshot)   Any idea? Sorry for the language :)  

I did use this post as a reference: https://community.nintex.com/t5/Nintex-for-SharePoint/How-do-I-filter-the-values-in-a-choice-column-with-nintex-forms/m-p/21432/highlight/false#M17755   I used the solution above on a form I am working on.  In the post Chris mentions that for the main category selection ("Meals") "You could make this more dynamic by using a lookup field if you want" in his post.  So I went ahead and created a third column where the value of the choice field is calculated, since you cannot do a list lookup on a choice field.   I was able to pull the data but not the way I was expecting.  I think I need to filter it but not sure how.   I have a main list called Web Delivery.  The second list is called WDSubCategories.  The "Request Type" is the main category choices.  Someone chooses a Request Type which then filters the secondary list "Sub Category Type" which is a list lookup on the WDSubCategories list.   I can get it to work correctly when the Request Type choice

Hi There,   What we have? 1. A Sharepoint list consists of Column A,B,C,D,E 2. A Sharepoint list (Panel Listing) consists of 50 panel of work's company name   What happen? I need to build an automatic panel of work assignment when someone raised a request. Kindly refer to the example below   1. Department A will raise a request through sharepoint by inputting column A, column B, column C & column D.  2. The request will route for approval.  3. If approved, one of the panel listed in the "Panel Listing" will be selected by random or sequence and the selection result will be included in both notification to initiator and also column E.  4. If rejected, only notification will send to initiator without the Panel Assignment detail.    I'm new to Nintex and hope to get some help over this.    Thanks

Hi there, My thought with this is that it would be great to dump a workflow onto a group of people, such that when 1 member of the group actions the task, then it vanishes from the queue of work for all other members of the group. The idea would be to send a mail to all members of the group, and whoever got to the worklist item and acted on it would essentially ensure that others would not need to work on it. Problem (number 1) is that when I set the destination rule this way, I am not getting any emails sent to the members of the group. Nor are any members of the group seeing the task in the K2 worklist. I tried using the advanced wizard to 'resolve all roles and groups to users' but no joy. Problem 2 I hear you cry, is: even if you were able to make this work, wouldn't the members of the group who tried to act on a task, after it was already acted on by another member, be crying foul when they went to open a worklist item that no longer existed?  Yes, probably.  So I would likely wan

Hi, I am using SharePoint 2013 and new to Nintex workflows. Recently, one of our Nintex list workflows suddenly lost (as if deleted) but when checked with everybody, nobody deleted or even touched the workflows. Is there any process update in Nintex that could be responsible for the sudden lost of the workflows? Also, recently one of our workflows suddenly revert to previous version without anyone compiling it. Need advice if anyone ever experience the same issue. Thanks in advance.

I have a lot of fields in a form and I want to be able to choose which order the fields are in when tabbing using the tab key on the keyboard rather than the mouse.Is this possible in Nintex?

I would like to hide the choice control "Triage Status" based on a choice selected in another choice control "Intake Status". I want the control Triage status to be disabled when the control Intake Status is empty or equal to "In Progress". The choice control Triage Status should not be disabled when Intake Status is equal to "Pending Approval" or "Intake Complete".   I have the below formula, but when I select "Pending Approval" or "Intake Complete" in the Intake Phase choice field, the Triage Status choice control is still disabled. Please advise how I can disable / enable this control.     not(or(equals(IntakeStatus, "Pending Approval"), equals(IntakeStatus, "Intake Complete")))

I have a workflow that has a parallel action which contains multiple request review actions. Sometimes a request review action will be set to a cancelled state for no apparent reason. Whenever this happens the workflow will not continue it just hangs and never exits the parallel action. What could be causing this? Below is my workflow showing the request review was cancelled, but it never actually changed states in the change state action. Any help is appreciated  

Hello, This is a parent/child list question. Is it possible in Nintex forms to have a button on the parent form that when clicked adds items to a child list and take some of the fields from the parent list and put that data into the each item in the child list.  I know we can do it with a workflow, but then there's the delay while the workflow runs to create the items in the child list.  A button would be fantastic.  Has anyone done this with Nintex Forms?

So we have a Workflow that creates AD User and everything was working, before upgrading to the latest Nintex Workflow 2013 3.5.1.0.  Now when selecting my OU I want to create my AD User in I get error.  Nothing has changed in this workflow, but for some reason it doesn't like the LPAD path anymore.  Is this a bug or something I'm missing? Could it be the "-" in the path it doesn't like anymore?   I attached a screenshot of the create AD user configure action. All the *** are normal characters just removed for privacy purposes.   LDAP://OU=Standard Users,OU=Users,OU=Gulf Coast,OU=Ball - 268,OU=Customer,DC=***,DC=***,DC=***

Hey Team,   I've bashed my head for over a week with this and finally submitting to the Nintex gods. I'm a very novice user of Nintex.  I'm enjoying the potential but I'm very lost   Objective Use a SharePoint list to capture user details and also any changes to the user's details. The final result will then be imported to a database to join different datasets together.   Rules I'm struggling to implement When a change occurs, make a copy of the item leaving historical changes and showing the new changes. The validFrom and ValidTo columns should adjust based on the adjustments   Below is the vision of the end result.   How I envision the use, when editing an item/employee, the end-user will make the change to the employee (switch role as an example) and choose when this change will take effect.  The workflow should then adjust the historical copy Valid from (date of start) to date of this change) and then save the new changes.   I hope it makes sense,  I've tried several ways of doing

Hi, I've created a recognition form which have the following fields; Nominee Nominated By Award Category Supervisor   Nominee can only be nominated not more than 5 times. If someone proposed their name for the 6th time there will be a prompt saying nominee have reached the limit for this year.    The question is how to flag out if a nominee that has received 5 award within a year? Anyone have any idea? Please help.    

I'm getting this error when trying to install Nintex forms and workflows for sp2013. Never saw this error before for many other environments that we have installed Nintex on. Does anyone know what the error might be related to? how to fix it? and if I shouldn't proceed with the Nintex configuration until this is fixed? Should I be re-running the installation files at some point? Error: The RPC server is unavailable. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x800706BA)-------------------The RPC server is unavailable.

Hi all,   I have 3 dropdown lists.    first: Apple, Banana, Orange second: Red, Yellow, Orange   What I want is when i choose an option in dropdown list 1, dropdown list 2 will be auto-populated.   For example, if I choose Apple, the second dropdown list will auto be populated with Red.    what i want is extremely similar to this: https://community.nintex.com/t5/Nintex-for-SharePoint/Auto-populate-value-in-drop-down-menu/m-p/2987   However, I do not want to use Javascript because I am using "Responsive Forms" in Nintex for Sharepoint instead of "Classic Forms" and thus I cannot use Javascript.   Please advise if this is feasible without Java...   Thanks!     

Hi.I use SharePoint 2013 with Nintex. I created a workflow in Nintex and the workflow errors because it cannot update an item.The item I want to update has a lookup column.

 Symptoms K2 connect SmartObjects returned the following error after running for a long time:Object has been disconnected or does not exist at the server Diagnoses 1. Tried the solution from the following KB articles, but it is not working:- http://help.k2.com/kb000552- http://help.k2.com/kb0011462. Added a breakpoint to their BAPI function using SAP external debugger, and noticed that the function is being executed twice. When the SmartObject is working, the function will only be executed once. Resolution Edit existing K2 connect service instance, and set useCache to True. 

Hi all,    I am a new user of nintex forms for sharepoint and i do not know all the techincalities so please help me out a lil here.   So, i have been using my form to collect data from my employees and using a company bot to run functions and generate documents based on this form. However, a limitation from the company bot is that we have maintenance at 11pm to 12am. Thus, if someone uses the form from 11-12, all their records will not be recorded down by the bot (despite its entry recorded in sharepoint custom list).    Are there any ways to go about this? either a lock from the nintex form using rules or a workflow solution?    for information: i am using responsive forms (the one that are more user friendly) and not the classic forms (that looks more boxey and requires java script)

Have done this in a repeating section in the past with no issue but I do not have a repeating section in this instance. I am trying to use Query XML in the workflow to grab data entered in the form controls by name.   /FormVariables/<Control Name>   It is returning numbers (possibly the ID) instead of the string data entered.   Please help! Thanks!

Hi. I have found many posts surrounding escalation, but I can't find why a Flexi Task would not send the notification to the delegated person. I found this article:   https://www.nintex.com/blog/know-magnificent-flexi-task-reminders-escalation/   But that doesn't explain why the notification isn't being sent. The reminders in my workflow are sent to a permission group (see my previous post). The reminders work perfectly. Escalation works perfectly because the "Assigned To" field on the task changes from the permission group to the individual in it. But why doesn't the notification get sent?

In our current (sharepoint 2013) en future (sharepoint 2019) environment we want to use rest services based on json. Currently other services in our environment must translate the API response to sharepoint into XML because in Nintex  can only parse the XML body using the Query XML action. I find this strange because json is very common for rest. I know there is a string manipulation workaround using expressions as  (?<=(EMail"":""))[^"]+ I you have multiple fields than it will become quite messy to work like this. Is Nintex working on a workflow action "Query json"? If so, when will this be ready? If not: can this be placed on the backlog for Nintex for Sharepoint 2019? Thanks in advance.
