Hi, I've currently got one workflow that triggers the user to complete a second form and submit it. I'm trying to show a link to the first form on the second, but I can't seem to get it to work. In the workflow on the first form, I use the build string action to create a URL with the text 'View Form' and set that to a Request URL field on the second. The step I'm having trouble with is then displaying this link on the second form so that it doesn't show the URL, but uses the display text 'View Request', and is active in display mode. I've tried having the workflow set the variable to URL field type, and to a Rich Text field type. The second allows the link to be active, but shows the URL rather than the text. Is there some way I can accomplish this? Also, is there some way I can accomplish this and have the link open in a new tab/window? Any suggestions greatly appreciated.Katherine

Hi all, I have found some javascript that can be used to print directly to a DYMO labelwriter but I can't get it to work properly in a Nintex form.The form is a basic list of two items to prove the point of printing directly and using the js script.When I publish the form I get a message "The app Nintex Forms for Office 365 is out of date. Please update the app." (see attachment). I know that this is down to the script as I've come across this before but I wondered if anyone could help me fix this? The script requires the inclusion of a src tag which I think might be the issue (see attachment) Thanks in advance.Paul

Hi, We are using Nintex and SharePoint to build our IT helpdesk ticketing system, and I was wondering if there was a way for a user to send an email (rather than completing a form) to create an item in a list and trigger the workflow? Any help or suggestions are appreciated. Katherine

Hi Wondering if it's possible to edit the permission level of a group to a list in a workflowI have a list that at certain times employees can add items and other times they should have view only permission Thanks,Jesse

I have their email address. I tried to use "Query User Profile" hoping that a null result for a particular property (e.g. Name) would indicate that the user no longer exists. But instead the workflow enters a suspended date as it can not find anyone by that email. Is there any way to catch that exception?

Hi It is probably me doing something incorrectly.   I have added a calculated control to my form which as you can see in the New-> Generated Preview, suggests an email address,.  What I don't seem to be able to do is set the Email column to the calculated value. I have tried connected the calcSuggestedEmail to Email . Note, regarding  Email Column; I can't set a default value to a named control unfortunately A formatting rule on Email, to set it to calcSuggestedEmail Any thoughts anyone please. Daniel

Hello! I have a lengthy For-Each based workflow that loops over web based InfoPath forms in a library, and calculates how old they are, so that email reminders can be sent as appropriate. This is to remind people they have forms that they have created, but have not yet finalised. The action of the workflow is to send a reminder X days after the form has been created, every Y days thereafter, and then finally delete it after Z days. X, Y and Z are parameters that I look up, as they are different for each form template. I have attached a screenshot (sorry for size..!) Logically, I think I now have a workflow that is correct, but I hit the following error which suspends the workflow: Details: The instance has exceeded the outbound http request quota for a 1.00:00:00 time period. The 5000 request limit was reached in 08:13:55.3271487. In a particular library I have over 400 forms that need to be processed every day. I am aware that as I am working within the O365 and SharePoint Online envi

I am attempting to use Google's API through an O365 Web Request to do some geocode translation. I've been able to reproduce a similar implementation using Nintex Workflows for SharePoint 2013 (on-prem) but am having trouble with O365. This is the error my Web Request action is producing:"Some parameters failed the validation check. - [InputFileContent] : The parameter or the parameter value is null. If you take a look at the below URL, it returns the XML data I'm needing so I'm not sure why doing so within the context of Nintex is giving me so much trouble and am hoping it's something minor I'm missing. Any ideas?https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/xml?latlng=34.7553595,-86.6945471&key=AIzaSyC2XrDaswnI72kZrzfTpU0IalfUnmqGS…   Vadim Tabakman​ Brad Orluk​

Hi I am new to Nintex Workflows for O365. I have an On-Premise workflow which needs to be recreated in Nintex for O365. The On-Premise workflow has an action Item update followed by "Commit Pending Changes" in it - in order to get dependent read functionality. Does Nintex for O365 has such action. If not what is the workaround / Does the ItemUpdate action has Auto Commit option? Please help. Thanks in Advance...

Hello all,I've got a Projects list where each project has an associated task list.Every time a project is created, a Nintex list workflow runs and provisions a new task list to be associated with that project. A task list also has a column that details assignees to complete that task.I need a separate workflow, tied to each task list, that will email assignees whenever they've been assigned to a task.Normally, this wouldn't be a problem as it's as simple as creating a list workflow to handle the email notifications. The problem is that our tasks lists are being generated dynamically via another workflow, and we want to automate reusing task notification workflows. At first I thought I could just associate a notification workflow with the content type of 'Task,' and that normally is done by creating a reusable workflow snippet/template (as detailed in the correct answer of this post) but learned that it wasn't possible in Nintex Workflows for Office 365 in this post. Has anyone encounte

Hi What is the basic structure of workflow to display de XML data in a simple table in the column list??? FMS.

When I try to configure the Flexi Task action, I get a“Something Went Wrong” error. This happens as soon as I double click on theaction or select “Configure” off of the action drop down menu. I can drop other actions into the same workflow and configure them, but the flexi task always generates an error. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks,Larry

Hi, We had a Nintex form & workflow working but now we are getting this error. We moved the form to a subsite but the field has not changed.This is lookup field.Any idea? Thanks in advance Regards,

Using the Office 365 Create Site action in Nintex workflows, one of the parameters that needs to be setup is the Site Template. This workflow works with the Team Site Template just fine, but when I select Custom Template and try to point to one of the templates in my Solutions Gallery, I get an error that it does not exist. I have tried variations on the name with and without the file extension, the friendly name that shows up in Create new site and even trying some variations with the GUID for the Template, but all get the same error. Any ideas how to implement a Custom Site Template? Anyone else had any success using this? Full Error: The requested site template 'DeptProjectSite4.wsp' for the selected language (LCID) '1033' does not exist. Thanks for any advice!

Hi  I wouldn't  mind some thoughts on my approach On my form I have captured multiple selected names from lookup lists  5;#John Does;#6;Jane Doe If I use the regex operation in my workflowwill this work so I can output to a collection var colNames - I want to be write each to the Workflow history Do I sill need the For Each loop & Extract Value from Collection to pick say the first name or can I can I simply use Extract Item Collection Action If I use For Each can I store each in a separate var for use in Send Mail?   Daniel

I am trying to add managed metadata column directly from the form. I keep getting a "Current User Has Insufficient Permissions to perform this operation." message. I am both a Site Collection Administrator and a group manager for the MMD termstore on the Site Collection I am working from. Please advise.

I have a panel in a Nintex form that has multiple check boxes for tasks, like this:[ ]Task 1[ ]Task 2[ ]Task 3 I want to have a calculate value field("Status") above this panel that validates whether all check boxes have been checked.  If all are checked, Status = "Complete".  If any are unchecked, Status = "In Progress".  I've done similar things in InfoPath, by setting the value to each check box to 1, then adding them together.  If sum = 3, Status = "Complete", if < 3, Status = "In Progress", but is there a better way to do this in Nintex Forms?  Perhaps if Task 1, Task 2, and Task 3 are all true, Status= "Complete", else Status = "In Progress"?  I'll end up having 12 different panels/sections with 6 tasks each that need to all roll up to the Status field, so I'm trying to make this as simple as possible. I'm brand new to Nintex Forms, so any help would be greatly appreciated.  Also, I'm using the O365 version of Nintex Forms, if that makes a difference.

Hi Ok I want to reveal a panel when I use select "Head Office"  in a list Look up. List Look Up works fine.   This doesn't seem to work. However, when I drag a Choice Drop down on to my canvas and change the above validation rule...then I can toggle hide/show of the same panel.  Is this something to do with my environment or is this more general? Daniel

Hi Everyone, I have a form that has 2 choice controls that are being used as 'tabs'.I need each choice control to default to 'Job Details' every time the form is opened. It seems I need more than just setting their default values and have tried the below code: NWF$(document).ready(function(){var tab = NWF$("#"+mainTabButton);tab.val('Job Details');}); My goal is to have 'mainTabButton' (Client ID for JavaScript) and my 'AuthTab' (Client ID for JavaScript) to default to the value of 'Job Details' everytime the form is opened.Pointers: - Both 'tab' controls are choice controls on the form- Both 'tab' controls are not connected to a list item (they are used for tab purposes only)- Both 'tab' controls have JS Client ID names saved in their advanced options I no longer get any debugging error messages with the code above, however it does not work. No errors, and no sign of anything happening. Hope someone can help me Regards, Andrew

Hi all, I am really new to Nintex - only a few weeks now. I have a simple form that requires me to calculate a figure.The formula is simply ({Control1}/100) * {Control2} * {Control3}. My problem is that I need to place the result into a 1 decimal precision result field and not round up.An example below:(68/100) * 1.006 * 27803 = 19019.5 on the form, but I need it to ignore the last few decimal places (19019.47624) and have a figure of 19019.4. Any help would be appreciated. Regards,Paul

I have a leave request workflow which initiates when a user creates an item and then I have another workflow which can be manually started which deletes the leave item. In order to allow the users to manually start a workflow they need edit permission. However some users forget there is a delete workflow and try to edit or delete the item manually without the workflow (which notifies HR and deletes it from the leave calendar). Is it possible to restrict edit and delete item permissions but allow the user to manually start a workflow? Or is there a way around this?
