I set up a nintex workflow and a column was automatically created in the document library to show the progress of the workflow.  It worked fine but for some reason this column has disappeared. The workflow still runs, but the error notification I had included are now empty and need configuring again. Its very important to know ASAP if the workflow errors so this column was very helpful.

Any ideas what has happened?

Thanks

if you edit the view on the library can you add the column back in (it will display the name of the workflow)?

Ok just check your workflow settings - there is a setting checkbox that says about creating a column for the workflow.

The workflow status column always has the very same name of the workflow. Is the checkbox that Cassy Freeman mentioned active in workflow settings?

If you don't have any option to bring back the column you could publish the workflow with a new name, which basically creates a new version 1.0 workflow with that new name. It therefore should also create a new workflow status column. If you do this you should delete the old workflow to not have duplicate workflows in your system.

Using this approach will surely bring you a new status column but you will loose all workflow versioning of your old workflow.
