The user has access to a specific list but NOT the rest of the site hosting the list.The user has no problems viewing list views or making changes using quick edit. But as soon as she wants to open an item (and launch the Nintex form) she gets an access denied page.Is there some way to grant access to the Nintex forms app without granting access to the entire site hosting the list in question?

Hello Nintex Community, I'm looking for some help with my workflow. I'm building an approval workflow and have created a second list to keep discussions related to the request. Inside the approval workflow, I've created a parallel block, with one branch for the actual approval state machine. For the other branch, I would like a loop which waits for changes to be made in the list item for the request discussion, and when changes are detected will send an email alert notifying all parties an addition to the discussion.I'm trying to use Loop with Condition, but can't figure out the best way for the loop to run when changes are made. If anyone has any ideas or creative solutions to this, that would be helpful. If you have any questions or need any additional information let me know. Thanks,Sean Dezarn

When I use save button in workflow office 365, items were not really saved into form, I reopened the form, things were there, but in the list, I couldn't find it. Seemed that save button was just a draft for current approver, only when approver clicked save and submit, the draft was really save into list and could be seen by other approvers. In nintex form, things work well. I have searched for this question, but I don't find enough details I want:What's the difference between "Save" and "Save and Submit" Button Actions in Nintex Forms? may be, this link is not for office 365. what I want to know is: Is there a function between save and save and submit in Nintex workflow for office 365, what I mean is:"save" Action: things are saved as a draft, can't be seen by other approvers, and the workflow task doesn't run. XXX Action: things are saved into list, can be seen by other approvers(or an option for "save" action that makes saved information could be seen by other approvers) "save and s

Hello,I'm new Nintex user and I've just started to create a new workflows.The thing that is very crucial for me is to have a clear Workflow history. With currently used other workflow system history is a standard feature available for any workflow you create. I see here this is a little bit tricky.So, from what I've found already on the community:1. Workflow history - for O365 there is only a standard Sharepoint History which looks quite good for me (I see who approved, can navigate to form etc) but... it will disappear after 60 days and (what I've found) there is no additional Nintex Workflow History on O365? 2. Copy fields to Sharepoint List - I've already learned how to copy task data (approver's name etc.using regex) but how can I link / navigate from list view to the form? I do not want to copy all the fields to the list (repeating fields etc) is this the only way? Thanks

Hi, I have a query that pulls in contents of a look-up column in a library. The library has 3 items.  This query is working as intended since I tested it via debug procedure (Nintex Workflow history) However, when I do a for-loop using following configuration, the 'New variable 4' is outputting blanks for 3 rows. I know the count is correct but why is this outputting blanks instead of the actual column-contents? Any help is much appreciated!

I am working on O365 nintex workflows. We have a typical multilevel approval process where tasks are assigned to approvers in chronological order. Every task has a due date and if an approver does not take any action before specified due date, task is auto-completed and the status is updated as "Escalated".  Now, the task is getting auto-completed on due date, but the task outcome is not getting updated as "Escalated". In 'Workflow Task' list, values for 'Nintex Outcome.....' column is shown as "2". Can anyone help understand what am I doing wrong here? I have attached few more screenshots for other settings used in the 'Assign a task process' action.  

Hi allI have a custom JS function that is called on Client Submit button. The JS function does some math validation and if the validation fails, I am showing an alert message. I want to show this error message as standard Nintex forms error message. Not in alert. I did not find any documentation on how to show custom error messages. If there is some documentation, please point me to right location. TIA

I have a date picker, single line text, drop down menu, people picker fields on my form.When I click on a button it calls a method to highlight the border.However it only works on the single line text and date picker fields.  It is not working on the drop down and people picker fields. Ex: Department Name, Number, Submitted on Behalf OfCodeCan anyone else replicate this issue?  

I believe that I have given all correct inputs .Tried with giving hardcoded url as well as with site url property .I see that quite a few developers had this issue and it would be really great if any of you can detail the steps/resolution . Thanks Jag

I have a Workflow that Assigns a Task to a user, I can see in the workflow that they have been assigned a Task but they have advised they do not receive the email shown below.  As you are not able to add more than one person to Assign a task. how can I prove that the email has been issued without changing all my workflows to Start a Task Process? My workflow is already quite complex and I don't want to add any more branches to it to send emails, as the Approval Process is done all via the Assign a task Any suggestions welcome,  Regards Claire

Hi, I can check to see if a file is uploaded by querying. How do I repeat this with a list of files? I have a list containing file names. User uploads file. I want the workflow to check if the uploaded file is among the list of file names (manually triggered workflow) What I intend to do is loading the list (which I do not know how to) then looping through to see each item on the list is available (uploaded) inside a specific folder. Any help on the right direction is much appreciated!

I want to add order number for item in repeating sectionWhat should I do?Please help. Thank you .

Hi all,(I'm new to Nintex O365, but have experience with Nintex on-prem) The initial email from an 'Assign a Task' action takes over 15-20 mins to come through.  While emails from 'Send an Email' actions come through straight away.  Is this expected behaviour? Cheers,Warren

Could someone explain me what the standard way is to obtain the Email address of a person mentioned in User/Group column in a different Lookup List - using the Query List option ? The way I am currently following seems to be very long as in the SP2010 it was a matter of a single action.For example my Query List output gives me a result like this :   [{"TerritoryManager":"test1.user@company.com"}] How can I directly get to the email address ?I noticed a couple of posts on this forum but they do not ring a bell to me. have used below approach, it works, but I am 100% sure it's not the most clever solution.Who has better ideas :-) ?   Thanks

Hi, I've created a simple workflow where a user submits a form and it goes through a few "assign a task" actions to get approval. However the workflow is getting suspended after the first task is created with the below error:  "Retrying last request. Next attempt scheduled after 19/07/2017 11:10 a.m.. Details of last request: HTTP NotFound to https://kotahi.sharepoint.com/KotahiMe/_api/web/lists(guid'633133d8-5aa3-46c0-9d45-56c66a658ffe')/Items(39)?%24select=ID%2CStatus Correlation Id: 55b0f602-2ed7-3014-af5c-d5edecec0902 Instance Id: c454a685-b570-48c4-94df-005dfae15c43  Item does not exist. It may have been deleted by another user." The person who is assigned the task has contribute permission to the item and can approve the task (even their comments added to the item) but the workflow doesn't continue past that action. Appreciate any help  Thanks,Jesse

Hi everyone, I'm still new to Nintex and learning a lot. Recently, I came across a case in which I need to assign a task to some users. This users will be defined through a Nintex form. So my idea was to create a Person or Gorup field on my SharePoint list, and allow it to have multiple values. That worked fine, and when I add this field on Nintex form, I can really add more than 1 person. The problem is how to get this information at the Workflow. Like, how can I send the e-mail to everyone? The workflow keeps getting suspended, and I don't know how to proceed. I hope this image helps you undertand what I'm trying to do!This is a Person or Group on a Nintex Form. How can I get the users on the workflow, for sending e-mails or things like that? Thank you everyone!

Nintex Workflow action setting no show on Chrome. Anyone have similar problem?

Hello, I am using Nintex Forms online and I have person or group field that searches for people in our online Office 365 sharepoint AD. I've read about the user profile lookup runtime function on a calculated fields, but I dont have this feature (I think it is only supported on on-prem versions?). Is there a away to query the department field of the person selected in the person or group field?  For example, If my name was entered then internship would show up in a box, but is my manager was entered then IT Support would show up. Thank You.

I got a list with 80 column fields. Inside the list, I have 2 items, item A and item B. Item A and Item B are treat separately. But, on item B, if some condition meet (said "copy from A==true"),  then, I would like to copy 60 field data from item A to item B. What would be the best approach? By nintex form or nintex worflow? The performance might be a point to be consider since, eg. no one would like to have an update of the item with 60 web request... ...
