I am currenlty trying to find a way to assign task based the the week of the month.   Week 1: User 1 Week 2: User 2 Week 3: User 3 Week 4: User 4 Based on the week i will need to assign the task to proper user.

Hi,   Currentely I'm using the Flexi Task and when it creates a task I get in the description strange codes like    How is it possible to set what message gets on the Task?   Thanks, Sérgio

I have a column in a SharePoint List that is configured to allow "append" so users can append comments to this column.  Once the Task has reached its due date, a workflow notification is sent and I need to show "All" of the comments appended in the column.  Currently, my workflow only shows the last appended text.  How can I get all of the appended text and include it in the Workflow notification?

I'm still fairly new to the Nintex application, but I've been able to create both SQL Request and List Lookups within my Nintex Forms. The work great when accessing the form within the organization. However, when I try to publish those to Nintex Live for users outside of my organization, Nintex states those are not supported. Therefore, how can I populate my dropdown list with information my users need to select within the form when using Nintex Live? I need a solid solution as this will impact many projects that we are planning with Nintex.   Any help on the right direction to go in is greatly appreciated!

Hello! I have a couple "Choice" columns on my Nintex Form that allow for a user to input their own value. When I add this to the form, the radio button for "Other" is BELOW the drop down list. I want to know if there is a way that I can move the "Other" radio button from under the drop down, to the right of the drop down. See image attached. Thanks!      

I have a process where users all over the company submit ideas. They can choose which department their idea pertains to. I want to direct the flexi task to the managers in each specific department. Those managers have been added to a list in my site. My workflow queries the department list to find the managers, but assigning the task to multiple people creates mutliple tasks, which are confusing in the view we use. However, if I assign the task to a permission group, then it creates 1 task.   I am willing to create permission groups for each department. I want my workflow to look at the department that was chosen when the idea was submitted (e.g., accounting), find the SharePoint permission group (Accounting Managers), and assign a task to that permission group. I want to reuse one task and change the assignee, I don't want a switch where I have multiple tasks each hardcoded with a specific assignee.   Is this possible in Nintex?   Or do I have to use a web service call to create a cus

I need to set a reminder for approval/ Reject request which send reminder to user every 3 days until user take action (approve / Reject / Delegate)

Hello. My problem is this. When I go to Workflow Inventory and try to open a workflow it won't open it ends in a error. But when i try to run a new item that uses the wf it runs ok. I just cant seem to open it and edit it for some reason unknown.   I even tried the remove nintex form site features and turning it back on it still won't open. My admin tried to copy the wf via shell but it errored.   Can anyone help me?

We have a workflow with some external users. The external users are form based authentication users in sharepoint. They can login to sharepoint with a set of user name and password. In the workflow, we assign a flexi task to the external user with his email address. The user received the email for the task, but when he tries to approve the task, an error occurred. In the workflow history detail, the task's owner column was blank. It seems the system couldn't find the user with his email.Any suggestions are appreciated.Alex

Hi all,   I have a use case wherein I have some HTML forms POSTing to a web app that is then doing a 303 redirect to send the user to the web app with the data they filled out in the form from the previous page.   Would it be possible to do something similar in Nintex Workflow Cloud? I know that there's a redirect option on the forms, but it doesn't look like I can post directly from a form and then have the user be redirected. Has anyone else tried something like this?   Best, Jonathan Rasmussen Software Developer I College of Southern Idaho jrasmussen@csi.edu 208-732-6846 

 SharePoint allows you to require Content Approval for Documents being added to a Library. However, sometimes it is best to auto approve documents (maybe the document came from a Manager or similar scenario.) The Wizard does not show this setting in a workflow and so you cannot auto Approve documents.    However, if we call the Smartobject directly, we can automatically approve. Since this is in K2 for SharePoint you will need to allow this smartobject to be used in workflows. See the following documetnation on how to do this. Enable Smartobjects in Workflows     Use the Document Library Smartobject.There is a Approve Document by ID method. Use this.It needs an ID (Your Document ID), a Approval Status (0-4) and a Memo (Not required.)The IDs for each status are as follows:0 - Approved1 - Rejected2 - Pending3 - Draft4 - Scheduled If you need to automatically approve an item, just call this smartobject method, and provide the Status ID with 0. This will automatically approve the document.

I have a Choice and Date mandatory fields. The Date field should be disabled based on the option in Choice field. How to get this solution using both Share Point validation and j query.  

Hello,   I was wondering if anyone could give me some tips on creating a Nintex workflow that will achieve the below goal of giving me a total number (in integers up to two dec place). I have a SharePoint list that tracks company store closures. I would like to achieve a total number of hours the Store was closed but I would prefer not to include non business hours (Sun-Thurs and Fri-Sat are known/set closed hours and do not differ in our Store locations.Here is what I was hoping for. Compare difference between two date columns within SharePoint (so date/time Store closed and date/time Store reopened) Exclude "closed/non business hours" and then get a total number with up to two decimal places to update the SharePoint list with.  I think my biggest struggling is determining which date types or functions to use in order to convert date/time and get the difference then subtracting based on number of days closed. I appreciate any tips on this!   

I have a Site workflow modeling after this one: https://community.nintex.com/t5/Community-Blogs/Site-Workflow-Document-Review-Date-Approaching-Reminders/ba-p/79279  I have a variable -varListID, which returns the ID value. i.e. 16, 21, 30  In my send notification body, I manually add a URL to the body text. ex. https://widget/sites/car/lists/Color/DispForm.aspx?ID= Next I add the variable; {WorkflowVariable.varListID} to produce the "16" at the end of the URL.  It displays in the email body correctly, but when clicked on, it's not part of the URL. The user is taken to https://widget/sites/car/lists/Color/DispForm.aspx?ID= which takes them to a blank page. How do I correctly make it one user selectable line such as: https://widget/sites/car/lists/Color/DispForm.aspx?ID=16

Hey all,    Very new to Nintex so please bear with me. I am trying to build a workflow that will allow me to collect "votes" from a Committee. The vote choices being "Approve," "Deny," "Question".    I tried using the Assign Flexi Task option but it cancelled the workflow out after two people voted.  So I then tried the Request Data option but it takes the first response.    How would I go about developing a workflow that will allow nine members of a committee to answer independently?    Thank you in advance!  

Hi everyone, I'm currently working on a visitor pass form and I need the system to send out reminder notification to the Host/submitter if they have not return the pass to the admin once the pass expired. I created a Site Workflow which will send a reminder to Host based on the expiry date set. However the Expiry Date field is in the repeating section. Once submitted it will be in XML code and I suspect that's the reason the reminder notification does not trigger. Does anyone know how to fix this or have better solution? Appreciate your advice.
