Archive: Nintex for Office 365 Forum

Hello everyone! First time asking a question about Nintex. I have a problem with the Nintex form generator. I have a long form with many rules and variables, but when I preview the form. It render all the controls (labels, dropdown lists, text boxes etc) in an alphabetical order, based on the label name. I have tried all kinds of distances and panel builds between the different questions, but nothing works well. I can’t get the grip on how the rendering of the form works.

It seems like the person can just approve or reject a task. I want the next person to click a link in the email and bring up the list form in edit mode not the task form. Is there another action besides assign a task that I'm missing?

A nintex form I was architecting in O365 has stopped loading. I can navigate to the design workspace but the loading icon spins indefinitely. I've tried refreshing my browser, cache, and using a new browser. I've also opened the console to see if an error shows up but no errors appear. The form will load when it is run.

Hello everyone, I am working on a form right now and I want the datetime field to have an output of HH:mm (24-hour time w/o the date) instead of mm/dd/yyy HH:mm (12-hour time w/ date). Is this possible in nintex forms using a formula? I am new to Nintex Forms and I have no idea on how to this one. Your help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

All I see now is "Assign a Task"

I am trying to start a workflow on another list. The action "Start a Workflow" does not work for workflows that run on other lists. List A Nintex workflow can not start a worfklow on List B.  I read this tutorial, but this is for Nintex 2010. It tells you to call webservice. http://nintexdownload.com/Nsupport/tutorials/How%20to%20start%20a%20workflow%20with%20the%20Call%20Web%20Service%20actio…  Is there a solution of Nintex 365? 

What happened?

As we progress closer and closer to moving into the cloud, we discover areas that need to be addressed and figure out how we build them in O365 vs how we did it on-prem. Recently, the concept of reusable site collection workflows came up and I cannot seem to find anything on them for Nintex Workflow for O365. Does this exist for O365? Is there a work around? Thanks!

Hello I am trying to create a document publishing workflow and I have a couple of questions  1) Can I create a workflow that starts on Major Check In or when I try to publish a drafted version of the document 2) Similar to question 1, I don't know how I can publish a major version of a document needing approval through a Nintex workflow. Could someone help me through this process? 3) It seems as though when I create a document content type in a document library, it doesn't start with a Nintex form when I try to create a new document. This is different for lists which immediately opens Nintex forms. Is there a way I can immediately open a form when I click on New Document?

Hi I and other users have access to both lists.  When I create a new Item on the other list I was hoping I could automatically trigger the workflow on it  given the Workflow initiation is a  Create or Modify.   Yes, I can call the workflow on the other list but is this the only way?

I am using the Office 365 Set Approval Status action and am getting this error: The user has insufficient permissions to perform the operation on list 'xx List Name' in web site 'https://xx.sharepoint.com'.  I currently have Full Control permissions. Is it perhaps that I need to be the Site Administrator to have permissions to run a Workflow? If so, is there a way I can work around this? 

In order to enable the sharing of "folders" to external users, I have to disable the site collection feature "Limited-access user permission lock down mode." This feature is tied to another feature "SharePoint Server Publishing Infrastructure." My question is this, if I disable "Limited-access user permission lock down mode." will it have an impact on Nintex O365 workflows and forms? Microsoft only provided vague and contradictory responses.  Enable or disable site collection features - SharePoint  I have Office365/SharePoint Online with Nintex O365 Forms and Workflows.       

Hi, wondering how you go about having a value automatically assigned to the Geolocation field on form submit/save/creation where it be by a rule or otherwise and hence have the geolocation field hidden and have the users location automatically filled in. Thanks in advance

Hello, this one sounds easy but it honestly frustrating me a bit.  How do you loop through a collection and just keep moving through the collection to evaluate the parts. In my collection I have TOOLNAME and RECOMMENDATION. Ultimately I would have around 5 recommendations per tool and those would be put into text variables and used in the output document generation.  Collection: colRecommendationsFields: ToolName (Text), Recommendation (Text) Example Collection Content:Skype | How to make a call - http://zzzzz Skype | Setting up your headset - http://xxxxx Outlook | Drafting a message - http://wwww What Id like to end up with:skype_recommendation = "How to make a call - http://zzzzz <br/> Setting up your headset - http://xxxxx"outlook_recommendation = "Drafting a message - http://wwww" Assumptions:A loop to move through the collection A switch with options for each tool I expect A build string action in each switch option that would keep the previous value and append the next as

I have a SharePoint Online library that is handling review of all of our policies. There are 10 required fields and I don't want my review workflow to kick off before those are filled in. Is there a way to kick off a workflow AFTER the required fields have been filled in?

I'm getting errors today when trying to connect to workflow and forms I'm on a trial while we POC stuff to make sure we can achieve what we want before we buy. Trial still had a few weeks. Was working fine last week. I tried re-installing workflow app but didn't help. The Nintex ribbon buttons on lists/libraries don't display properly and when I click on the app in site contents or click on forms or workflow from a list it gives this error. From what I can see my tenant is fully operational, no errors. Secure Connection Failed An error occurred during a connection to workflowo365.nintex.com. Invalid OCSP signing certificate in OCSP response. Error code: SEC_ERROR_OCSP_INVALID_SIGNING_CERT The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because the authenticity of the received data could not be verified. Please contact the website owners to inform them of this problem. Any ideas?

Hi,  I have a form with 4 panels with the following purposes; 1: New form panel2: Edit form panel (when property of a dropdown field (User Status) is Active)3: Edit from panel (when property of a dropdown field (User Status) is Inactive)4: Display form panel For panels 2 & 3, when the form is in edit mode, either 2 or 3 should display based on the selection of a 2 option dropdown (User Status), populated on new form. I can progress the visibility of the panels on the simple mode logic; 1: not(Is New Mode) with hide ticked on formatting rule2: not(Is Edit Mode) with hide ticked on formatting rule3: not(Is Edit Mode) with hide ticked on formatting rule4: not(Is Display Mode) with hide ticked on formatting rule What I cannot progress is the logic to show either of the edit panels (2 or 3) based on the dropdown selection made on new form mode. A few rule approaches which have not worked; not(Is Edit Mode) && (User Status!='Active'||User Status!='**SelectValue**') not(Is Edit Mo

Hi  I know this question gets asked a fair amount but I wondered if there is standard work around to get this to work in these exciting post Ignite times...  The issue is I have a Parent List A  and a child list. A.  When the user indicates they want to an item copy/move an item from Parent List A to Parent List B;  this done but all any child list items are created in Child list B.  All the edit forms are InfoPath this meant more than one developer was able to build out the solution.  Firstly, the copy Parent List A item -> Parent List B item is fairly easy.   My  intention was to trigger a workflow on Create to set a fancy ID and check some other fields. The only annoying thing is I can't trigger a workflow (Edit/Create action) on Parent List B  so I have to use the Start Workflow Action  with the ID obtained in the above Create Item ..  ( think overkill ;-( ).  Now setting the Create Item for each item copied over to Child list B. I want to ensure I set my lookup column to the co

I'm currently building out a prototype using the DocuSign Download Document action for Nintex Workflow (SharePoint Online). I'm noticing that although my "envelope" contains two .PDFs requiring signatures, my DocuSign Download Document action is only downloading the first document found. Is this simply a bug/limitation with the action? I'm surprised for the configuration to be envelope based and not be capable of storing the entirely of the envelope.

Hello allI am trying to setup custom validation on attachment control in Nintex Office 365 forms. Here are my rules:1. I have a panel that will be displayed  or hidden based on the value choice type control value.2. If choice = yes, I display panel. 3. The panel has attachments control. 4. I need to validate that the attachment control has 2 attachments only when choice type dropdown's value = Yes  I saw some JS functions on how to count attachments. But I don’t think we can run custom js functions on attachment control in Office 365 forms. Is it possible to setup this validation in form submit? TIA

We want to use Nintex Workflows in a SharePoint Online application we are currently developing. Within this application we have: 10 subsites Each have 3 libraries Each should use the same workflow To avoid uploading 30 workflows each time we update the workflow, we want to automate this process. Does anybody know if this is possible? For SharePoint on-premises we can use the NWAdmin options, but what is available for SharePoint Online? Regards, Peter
