Is it possible to share a form such that it does not require a login to the Nintex platform? I am currently building a Visitor sign-in form, and ideally I'd like it to either stay logged in or to not have to log in at all to use the form. Currently there is no option to either remember your password or keep you logged in when logging into Nintex Workflow Cloud, is this on the roadmap?

MS Flow has a very useful "Configure run after" action that you can configure to run if there is an error in the flow. I can't find anything similar in Nintex Workflow Cloud - how can I get it to alert me if a workflow fails?

Hi,   I have a situation where an orders-related list needs to lookup prices from another list, where the prices have a "Valid from" and "Valid to" columns.   There are two requests: 1. A one-to-many relationship between the order "header" and order "items". 2. Applying "automagically" the prices based on the order date, where the price in the lookup list has the order date sit between one of the possible date spans for "valid ..."   The date spans per item-price are non-overlapping.   Being new to SharePoint and Nintex I am guessing I'll need three lists at least (the "order header" list, the "order items" list and the "item prices" list) -- and that's about all I can figure out for now.   I am using SharePoint 2013 (sadly or otherwise).   Any and all help will be greatly appreciated.  

*Noobie* I need a workflow that will allow user to make copies of a item based on their input of value.   Example: HR wants to be able to use 1 list item (Engineer) position, and it creates 4 different Engineer openings. So at any time you create a new position you can make multiple openings versus having to copy each line by line.   What would that workflow look like?  

For years I've been able to use "Log in History List" as a rudamentary troubleshooting aid to try and figure out which part of a workflow is breaking down when a workflow errors with ambiguous messages. So I'll perform some action, then log in the history list that i performed that action, then perform some other action then log in the history list that that action was performed, etc. Then when the workflow fails I can find the approximate location of the failure in the workflow.   Suddenly today this is not working. I've got something like 15 steps in the workflow with 15 log in history actions. The workflow is getting to step 14 before failing and I'm getting nothing in the history. In order to get this to work today I'm having to follow each "log in history" action with a "commit pending changes" action.   Did something change recently?

I’ve set up a form with various choice fields and have put in buttons that allow the user to untick their selection, leaving the field blank (following advice on other posts, thank you). This all works very well.   The form is a long one and users are able to save and return to it later, before pressing submit and it flowing through an approver workflow.   We’ve found that if the user changes their mind and unticks immediately, there is no problem. However, if the user saves, and then returns to the form later and wants to untick, the button has stopped working. Just to be clear, after saving, other areas on the form can still be edited – it is just the untick button that has stopped working.   The code in the button is as follows, where Option = name of the choice field and varOption = a JS variable name given to that field: NWF$('document').ready(function(){var strOption = NWF$('#'+varOption).find("input:checked").val();NWF$('#'+varOption).find('input[value=''+strOption+'']').attr('c

Hi all, I have some questions about copying item to multiple SharePoint Site automatically based on local variable. So here is the example   I have 100 different sharepoint site Site A: for submitting nintex form and creating item Site B: copying item from site A based on workflow variable (this variable stored from build string action) Site C: copying item from site A based on workflow variable until...Site CCC   I have tried to use switch actions, but I need to distribute/copy items into more than 100 different site. I doubt about reliability of this workflow. So is there any suggestions to use simple method or automatic way?

Hi all,I want to create folder inside document library.

Hello,   I need to set up a field required based on a value in List Lookup field.   Example: I have list lookup field connected to list column "Numbers" with choices 1,2,3,...   Then I have SLT field "Name" and I want this field to be required IF value in field "Numbers" equaels "2".   I tried to set expression - {ItemProperties}Numbers==2 but not working. Should I create form variable?   Thank you for any advice.    

Is there a way of creating a button control or some different control in Nintex Forms, which can increment a variable, say var1, every time I click on this button. I would like to use this button as anincrement counter.

Dear Team, I need a help in figuring out the logic for my approval process. To be clear, I have a requirement for an approval process which has 3 layers of approval process going on. Each layer is involved with attachments for an instance, user will submit a list item with an attachment and 1st approver will recieve  the email with an attachment. The approver can Approve or deny the request (attachment) in case of denial the requestor should get the updated attachment(comments included) and if it gets approved the attachment will pass on to the second approver and the process will be same.   So far, I tried this logic, 1.Tried using webservice and get the attachment into Assign Flexi Task. This didnot resolve my issue. The attachments downloads on to the system and then users doesnot know where to upload again probably it makes them impatient. 2. Tried uploading the document in a different document library and bring that documents url to the email (hyperlink the document url). Its eith

Hello all,I have set autocomplete for a field in a Nintex Form 2013 using JS (that's a long list of Cost Centers for an expense approval form). The customer would like to be able to submit more that 1 expense in the same form so I tried utilizing a repeating section but unfortunately the autocomplete would only work on the original field and not on the "clones". I was naive to think all the settings of the original field would magically transfer over to the clones but it turns out to be technically much more complicated than that.So, has anyone achived that already or can help achieve it now?Thank you,Dimiter

After contacting Nintex Support, it appears these are known issue but not being addressed as bugs. They occur in the latest version of Nintex Forms for SharePoint 2013 on-prem (2.9.0.0) as of Apr, 6, 2016.Scenario 1When updating a list item using PowerShell, list items disappear on Nintex forms. To replicate:create a new listcreate a new Nintex formattach a file to a new item in the list (the attachment shows up in the Nintex form)update the Title field of the newly created item using PowerShell (the attachment no longer shows in the Nintex formScenario 2When adding a Nintex form to an existing list populated with items that include attachments, the attachments are not displayed on the Nintex form. To replicate:create a new listcreate a new item and attach a file to itadd a new Ninitex form to the listtry to view the list item attachments using the Nintex form (they're not displayed)Anyone have a workaround for these issues?

I have encountered a strange error…   In a UDA, using the Call Web Service action with the method “StartWorkflowOnList”, I have found that if the UDA is invoked quickly in succession on the same Workflow Item, it can throw the following error: <soap:Fault xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"> <faultcode>soap:Server</faultcode> <faultstring>Server was unable to process request. ---> Attempted to use an object that has ceased to exist. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80030102 (STG_E_REVERTED)) ---> Attempted to use an object that has ceased to exist. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80030102 (STG_E_REVERTED))</faultstring> <detail /> </soap:Fault> All signs point to this being a problem of how the actual backing .Net code for this action are implementing their releasing of SharePoint Objects, and seems to be unfixable from a user perspective.    One of the strange things about this error however is that the actual method (Start

I have bulit a Content Type with a Document Template & have added quick parts from the Content type to the document.  I have 2 Libraries, 1 Doc lib with content type, 1 List with all columns added from content type.  Theory is for the Workflow would use the List data to populate the quick parts added to the Document template.  any ideas??    

Hello,   I need to transform data logs (created, approve, completed) from workflow history in each item (request):   into associated list columns so I can export whole list and make report with these logs like this: Request 1     CREATED    APPROVED    COMPLETED Request 2     CREATED    APPROVED    COMPLETED ...   I know I can generate workflow history list but there every event is logged as one row...   Appreciate any help. :smileyhappy:

this has not happened previously, but just started in the last set of workflows we've deployed. no specific reason why this is happening, but is frustrating nonetheless   

I created this workflow for a client about a year ago. Everything has been working as expected up until this last run. The purpose of the workflow is to cancel all in-progress approvals, then it sends out an emergency approval to 7 different sharepoint groups using a parallel action. In that parallel, for each line, there is a flexi task that goes to the corresponding group. The flexi task action sits idle and is automatically marking all approvers as "Not Required". It is also not sending any approval emails out. I've never seen this happen before. I've tried terminating the workflow and restarting it as well as trying to republish the workflow. Nothing is working. Nothing has changed with the WF either. All times it's ran before this it has worked. Any ideas?   What you see below, it does the same thing for each of the 7 flexi task actions.

I'm using Nintex 2013 with SharePoint 2013 On Prem. I don't know what service pack we have installed, as I'm not the farm administrator.   I am trying to have a link to the item display in a Flexitask notification, and having nothing but problems. I frequently have the problem where Title displays "Title" (without quotes) instead of the actual item title. If i've inserted the title as the Text to Display in a link, the link works, but "Title" is displayed. I thought I'd come up with a workaround by using a variable, varReadItemLink, that is set by Build string, {Common:ContextItemUrl}, {ItemProperty:Title}. When I did this, the email showed the link as https://.... [as a link], Actual Item Title [not linked]. This is messy.   So then I created a field on my list called ReadItemLink, set as a hyperlink field, and used Set Field to set ReadItemLink to equal varReadItemLink. When i did this, the email showed the link as http://.... [as a link]. The item title was missing completely.   I h

I've created a Nintex form for a SharePoint 2019 list and published it.  However, when I click on +New to create a new list item, the panel opens on the right side of the list and the fields don't reflect the Nintex form.   How do I get the SharePoint list to use the Nintex form?  Do I need to change something in the list's settings?    

Hi, I'm trying to finish this small project and I'm having issues with configuring my controls properly.  I built out my form correctly and I'm stuck at this point in my workflow design. I understand which controls I need to call but its the configuration that has me sorta stumped. Appreciate any guidance from the community.  Regards,  

I created a simple New Responsive Form in a SharePoint list and was able to publish it multible times but suddenly, I was only able to save new versions but not able to publish it anymore (See error message attached). The bottom line in the designer shows that it schould be published but the new version will not be opened on the list. I deleted the whole list and created it from scratch and the same behaivior, after a couple changes the form gets an error if you try to publish. Export-  deleting - re Import does also not work,The last change bevor it braked was adding and removing a rule but not shure if this was the trigger.

Due to wrong defined Workflows, at my customers site, they have a lot of Workflows which are in Workflowstatus 'In Progress' and did not complete. I created a Site Workflow with following actions: Query List to filter all these items. Iterate over items (having a List Item ID variable) Calling TerminateWorkflowByNameForListItem with needed settings. After around 150 items (the Workflows of the items got correctly canceled), the Workflow errord and in ULS-Log I find 'Thread abort exception' Sometimes the Workflow stopps after 144 items processed or 136 and so on. Do I hit some sort of limit here?   Btw: It would be nice to set the Workflowstatus to Completed when using TerminateWorkflowByNameForListItem. Please vote for my User-Voice
