How do you update workflow instances that were previously deleted.

I am creating an Infopath form which calls a Site Workflow using web services.  The web call works fine and I am able to pass data defining the data fields manually to the started workflow   i.e.  <Data> <MyVal1> some random data </myVal1> </Data>   Does anyone have an example of how I can pass the field values from the Infopath form to the workflow?  I need to substitute the literal data with field values.

All - I'm struggling with multi select checkbox within repeating section.   I have a New part number request.  within the repeating section (a user can request multiple parts at the same time) - there is a selection for which warehouses the part applies to.  This is a multi select checkbox. I am iterating the repeating section just fine, and I'm extracting the warehouse data to a collection.  no problem there.     the issue is, the data that comes out as (index number, semi colon, warehouse number).  so let's say I select warehouse 21 and 92.   I get this as a result.   12;21#;32;92#;  I need to run an additional expression to obtain just the 21 and just the 92 when processing through the results.    right now, in my iteration of the row data, I extract the single row selections - which is the text above.  I then have an expression setup to split based on the #; syntax, but I then end up with a new collection of 12;21 and 32;92 which I would loop thru to send emails to line buyers base

I would like to retrieve the text of the body out of an email that goes into an email enabled library and do some action on it.  I am able to get the body out using the Query XML object but it returns everything from the email.  How do I parse out the header and all the other system information from the email and just get the true Body?

I've created automated emails to customers based on the project state they are in.  State = 1) Approvals 2) initiate 3) Execution 4) Closure.   Using a switch to verify state value and executing certain steps. (like sending Sr. Exexs for approvals or sending emails to customers that project is initiated, sending vendors to start the project work.)   One of my customer, accidentall changed Closure state to Approvals. That triggered emails to Sr. Execs to approve a completed project.    How to prevent this accidentally change. 

Hi, I couldn't find an answer to my question so i decided to post it. I'm wondering if there may appear some difficulties in my workflows and custom forms if i change the columns names in my list?   I have provided the english names columns and now it occur that they should be in my mother language instead, but all the forms and workflows are already done :(   Will it affect working of workflows and forms? Thanks for replay :)

I get this error when adding rules to a responsive Nintex form. To be fair, there are a lot of rules to hide or disable fields. I love the speed of development and not having to mess with formatting fields, but this error is causing me to take 3 steps forward and 2 steps back. It's soul crushing! Help please!  

Hi guys,   I'm sorry for my bad english, but I really need help. I couldn't find any topic that is related to my problem in this forum or in any other one. I don't know much about Sharepoint or Nintex, but I'm trying to create a workflow to a custom list and I'm stuck. Here's the thing: I take care of a Library and we're using this custom list on Sharepoint for monitoring the books. I want an e-mail to be sent to the person that borrowed the book when the return date is close or when we're in the return date.   Is it possible? I'm sorry again if u don't understand my english, I did my very best.   Thank you!!!

Hello!Newish to Nintex but have lots of InfoPath experience with SharePoint.My problem is this:How do I arrange my hierarchy to conjure a single number based on three lookup columns?I have three lists that are lookups; Company, Skill, and Level:These lookups populate my Positions list, which has the various Companies, Skills and Levels and the most important aspect: Price.Here's the flat table:What's the best way to setup a form in order to choose Skill, then Company, then Level and have the Price reflected on the form before submitting?Because there is a many-to-many relationship between the three lookups, the cascade approach (https://community.nintex.com/news-18/three-tier-cascading-drop-downs-do-go-chasing-waterfalls-30846) doesn't work elegantly. I have also tried to do a multiple lookup, but that fails at the Price level (shows too many options). Thanks for your feedback! 

Hi,When using the document generation action in Nintex Workflow (on-prem), I want to create a document that contains Rich Text fields.When using this type of field, the document is not formatted correctly (it shows html tags in the text):<div>This is a test with some bullets:</div><ul><li>Bullet 1 </li><li>Bullet 2</li><li>Bullet 3</li><li>...</li></ul>Is there a workaround so i can keep my formatting without HTML tags visible in my document?Thanks.

Hi all, I've only been working with nintex workflows for the past few months, so I'm still in the learning phase. I've been looking around here, hoping to find a solution to my issue, but I'm either looking in the wrong places, or not 'getting' the answers provided. (as in not being smart enough to 'get it').As for my question.I've reached a state where I want to gather specific data from a large list and return that information to a user in a presentable fashion.  For example:Take a list with 800+ items. Each item represents a task (it's just a plain list, not a tasklist. We have solid reasons to be working this way).On a daily basis any user may have to edit a fair amount of those items. let's say 'Status' and 'Score'. And this is done in DataView for obvious reasons.Since 'Status' and 'Score' can't be set just at random, there are certain ground-rules that have to be met. So on a weekly basis a workflow goes through all those items (not all, just those not edited by workflows) to ch

I have a very large list, over 19000 items, and each item has an attachment.  I wrote a site workflow that uses the for each loop to find items that meet a query criteria and then move them to an "archive" list so they don't clutter up the other list.When I run the workflow for the first time on this list with 19000 items, it is possible that 18000 items will meet the query criteria.My questions are: Will the workflow run for 18000 items or will it crash?Is there a limitation on the number of items it will process that meet the query criteria?Thanks.

Is it possible to disable/hide the delete button in the attachments control for a group of users? They still need the ability to add and open attachments. I can only disable the whole attachments control using a rule. Thanks

Hi All,   I have a Calendar which had a Designer form for Both Edit And new Item, Now I want to Create a new Nintex form for the same, However the List shows Designer form instead of Nintex form even after the Nintex Form is published. As you can see in this image the workflow is published and is current version 3.   Should I do any change in content type or any other region befor publishing the Form for Calendar?    Thanks for your help.

Hi all,   Is it possible to open a (new) responsive listform via URL parameter with pre-filled values? Something like https://mysharepoint.de/Lists/Testlist/NewForm.aspx?column1=value1&column2=value2   Cheers mai-kel

I'm new to Nintex, so I'm hoping someone will be able to help. I'm sure I'm not trying to doing anything that hasn't been done before.  Issue: I am unable to set the default value of a List Lookup control from a QueryString parameter, on the NewItem form, running on IE 11, eventhough, I can set the default of a Single Line Textbox control. I have verified that I can read the querystring and return the correct parameter value. I am able to decode the querystring parameter to replace %20 with spaces, etc.  Because I am using IE 11, I understand that I can't use the javascript find() method, to retrieve the ID for the text value of the parameter string. I’ve tried passing both the parsed parameter string value, as well as a hard-coded record ID, but neither changes the List Lookup field, even if I could retrieve the record ID.    Form has a List Lookup control called JobTitle. JavaScript variable name is defaultJob. And, a Single Line Textbox control called txtJob. JavaScript variable na

I received this error (File does not begin with  '%PDF-'.) when I was using the Create an Item in another Site workflow action to move documents with metadata between site collections.Using Nintex 2013 version 3.0.6.2Here is how the workflow action is configured.Any help is appreciated!

I need to build a workflow for a Nintex Form with several repeating sections.  I do not have SharePoint designer.

When I use the Create item action in Nintex Workflow 2013. For some of my content types, I am not able to find some of my fields. When I click the Field dropdown, some fields do not show up. If I do the same thing using the Create item in another site, pick the current site and the same list and content type. I do see the field show up in the list. First, I wonder if this is a valid workaround. I will be copying this workflow to a production environment and I don't want to have to go through all my workflows to make sure that I change this particular action because it will be creating an item in the wrong site.  I have tried setting the Field to Required. I deleted and added the field to the content type again. I also tried adding another field to the content type and it did appear in the dropdown almost immediately. Problem is, after I removed it from the content type, it continues to show up. Is there a way to forcefully update the content type in workflow? Is there a sync content ty

Hi,   I have the below custom Javascript code which sets a fields value in my Nintex form.  This works fine with Internet Explorer 11, but it does not run with Microsoft Edge.  Do you know why this might be?   var dateNow = document.getElementById(varReferenceNumber); dateNow.innerText = Date.now(); console.log(dateNow);   Thank you.

Hi, I have an issue with the function of cascading lookups in Nintex forms.   Our Main Homepage is set up as german language. Now i created a sub website in english language. While my cascading lookup function is working fine on the german main page, it is not working on the english sub website using the same setup and configuration.   As soon as i try to apply a filter on a dropdown menu, no entries can be seen. Even if i select "show all entries" with no filter in the first dropdown selected.   If i deactivate the filter function all entries of my list are shown.   Any ideas of what the problem might be?

How we can satisfy the condition First Time.   Required a hekl on this.   Thanks
