I am creating an form where the manager can request training for their staff.  Using the Page Viewer control, it shows the calendar along with the navigation, banner, logo and everything else that is on the page. What I would like to do is only display the Sharepoint calendar itself but not as a list. 

Hi all, I am using the action 'office 365 update items' to try and update the 'name' of my document sets.I have selected to update all list items:I have specified the metadata field (name) and the value I want to input (balloon) The result is that the workflow is suspended and shows the following comment in the history 'unable to find list item to update' (please ignore the 'sharegate' user - it is just the name of my account).   This workflow will complete successfully if I am updating the name of documents. Any thoughts? Many thanks,Mike

Hi , I have 2 lists. First list is a claims register and when an item is created it creates a document set in a Claims File document library configured for Document sets. On creation it stores the item ID and the item URL in variables. I have this working all fine. I next want to set a field in the Claims Register to link to that Claims file. When I set the field to the workflow variable storing the item URL it only links to the display.aspx for that item. I would like it to link directly to the welcome page of that Document set created. I have tried doing a lookup and storing the name field in a variable but that doesn't seem to work. Workflow is suspended due to input string not a correct format. Am I looking up the wrong field to achieve this?

I have a workflow that maps a process where there are multiple teams that approve in parallel based on a certain criteria. My problem is that I need to log who is the approver of each task (since it is assigned to a team and who ever is available finished the task) to help in auditing if a mistake went wrong..

Hello Community, Does anyone make use of the Geolocation field type in their SharePoint lists? And then do you use the Geolocation control on the forms and connect it to the Geolocation field? I'm running into a "Index was outside the bounds of the array" when I use this function. It appears that just having the Geolocation field and control connected on the form is fine, but if the field contains data then the form will not pull up and just gives me the error. I am wondering if anyone has any luck with this. Full disclosure, I am not technical enough to script the geolocation field type myself and have had to use a few different resources to add the field type to my list. Guide: Add geolocation column Office 365 - Rapid CircleScript Add Geolocation field to your SharePoint Online Thanks for reading this!

I'm hoping to use it to set a color code for the task in Outlook for my users but cannot find any documentaion on how to use it.  What I find online (Specify a collection or dictionary variable for the list of the categories) isn't very helpful.

Hello Nintex Ninjas! I have been working on an app that contains complex approval process(serial then parallel) with multiple level of approvers. Been making good progress, until I got stuck in this action.(issue explained in the image as well, but in case it wasn't readable, its added below)- Got a requirement for workflow wherein a whole group wantd to be assigned task and anyone could then approve/reject it. - Start a task process to SharePoint group works great for the requirement. When anyone from the group approves the task, the rest of the groups get theirs tasks cancelled.  - But I want to collect data for two fields from approvers, that I then want to save it back in the list.  -I  have been able to get the description, comments of approvers via GUID=taskID(WF variable) in 'Assign a task' action but, option to save task ID from 'Start a Task process' seems to be unavailable.  - I thought I could get Description and use Reg. Expression to get UserID & Email and though reg e

Is it possible to create views or filters based Office 365 Nintex Workflow status column? I am not able to create views or filters based on the status column because the that column does not appear in "Filter By".Nintex Office 365 does not have Reporting capabilities similar to on premises version. I am curious how folks are building reports based on workflow status in Office 365. 

We have a form that has been working in Nintex Mobile (on SharePoint Online list), and now all of the sudden, no user can open the form and they are presented with an error "String was not recognized as a valid DateTime (<a long guid of characters>)" This was a working form, that just seems to have stopped working all the sudden.  No changes to the sharepoint list / or to the actual form itself. Has anyone seen anything like this before?

BEFORE RESPONDING PLEASE NOTE:This workflow is being used in an Office 365 SharePoint environment. Please do not offer suggestions for any Nintex WF On-Prem solutions. I have activated the Workflows can use app permissions feature. Please do not suggest that I need to activate the feature or provide links to the other articles that describe how to activate the feature. HERE'S THE SITUATION:I've created an Office 365 Workflow for a SharePoint list. I have placed an App Step action. Within the App Step I've added a an Office 365 update item permissions (Permissions) action. When I attempt to configure this action, I still need to enter a Username and Password for "The user to perform the update" value. Is this by design, or am I doing something wrong? I'm expecting that within an App Step I would not need to provide a Username and Password. I'm under the impression that the entire  purpose of an App Step is to elevate permissions. However, I'm only guessing because there is very little
