Hi there,

 

I'm trying to create some device layouts using Nintex Forms for the flexi task form so users can access them from their mobile device. What I've noticed however is that when clicking the link from the email (using the ootb Nintex ApprovalURL common workflow variable), it navigates to the default SharePoint mobile edit task form first, as in the image below with this URL: https://<site url>/_layouts/15/mobile/editforma.aspx?List=<list id>&ID=<id>

When clicking cancel from this view , it navigates to the custom Nintex Form, with this URL: https://<site url>/_layouts/15//NintexForms/mobile/editform.aspx?List=<list id>&View=<view id>&ID=<id>

 

Is there a way to get the link in the workflow email to link directly to the custom Nintex form for the approval task?

Thanks! I'll look at implementing this in my workflow. It's a shame that we can't have the link automatically redirect to the correct form for users on mobile devices. Future updates perhaps?

Sure thing, will do happy.png

I'm actually running into a similar problem.

Out approval link will be something like this: https://{domain}/{site}/WorkflowTasks/EditForm.aspx?ID=229

This works fine if the user uses a desktop while clicking the link but when using a mobile phone, they get the same form (workflow task form) as Vanessa did. The difference is that I want both the desktop and the mobile phone users to go to the same form (or at least one that I can specify for the mobile one)

I've tried to use the advice posted but without success.

mobile link - https://{domain}/{site}/_layouts/15/NintexForms/Mobile/EditForm.aspx?id=231&list=26ff79be-31c5-4205-83e5-d4a7de1a3c3d

Does anybody know how to achieve this in Office 365?

This problem can also be solved by deactivating the "Mobile Browser View" feature in the SharePoint Website: Deactivate SharePoint 2013 mobile view - BindTuning Academy

Thank you Jan. That's precisely what I was looking for.

Thank you, this worked for me as well.

Your solution works very well but there is one problem.  As soon as I attempt to edit the action the text inside the function is removed, leaving simply: reflink="fn-Replace(" instead of the full formula.

In fact, when I downloaded your sample I did not see the fully formed formula.

Have you found a workaround that preserves this formula?  I see this becoming a potential maintenance nightmare as links are broken when task forms are edited in the future.

I've recently run into this issue as well. The workaround I implemented is as follows and works for Office 365:

  • On the Workflow Tasks list, set the default content type (CT) to one of the Nintex CTs. NOTE: Be sure whatever CT you choose has a mobile layout published for the task form.
  • Now, when you access any of your Nintex task forms (with a mobile layout specified) from a mobile device, it should present the Nintex mobile version instead of the OOB SP version.

Hope this helps if you need a different workaround to the others suggested happy.png

Thanks Nicole, such a simple solution.
