Hi Community Is there a way to start a workflow externally in Office365 like Enterprise Workflow ? Thanks

Hey there! I just noticed, that when I open an existing workflow in O365 and I want to import an updated version of this workflow, I will not be able to save the workflow. Apparently when a workflow is being imported the workflow is treated as "new" apposed to being updated. Of course I could "Save" the imported workflow with a different name, delete the original workflow and then rename the newly imported workflow to the original name. But that would also loose all the old workflow-history. Anyone else experienced this?

Guys, I am used to working with the Nintex On Prem version but I recently started working with Nintex for Office 365. I am having some basic questions here. I am struggling with my workflow history... Below a screenshot of my list, the "Leave Request" column is the workflow status column. However, my column remains empty after running my workflow. I was expecting the "In Progress, Completed, Errored" information here.Am I wrong, different behaviour in O365? I have tried on multiple lists/libs & sites. How to create a new wf history list? I am working with a trial version atm. Thanks,Glenda

We have a O365 Form solution in that has a lookup to another list.The content in the other list has grown and now we found out no more that 2000 items can be returned.Even when using a javascript with 'auto complete' this issue cannot be resolved. Does anybody has an idea to overcome this hard limitation? (which makes our customer solution useless).The only option I see is moving the lookup data to SQL Azure, but here it cannot be easily managed by Power users.

We are currently using Nintex forms on a list that we're doing UAT testing in. The testers are required to provide screenshots of their testing success/failure in the "Analysis & Comments" field per datacut. This field is a multiline enhanced rich text field with 24 lines available for editing. If they take a screenshot and paste the image in the field, it doesn't save properly. Any text they type will persist, but the image disappears. If you go back in to "edit" the item and go to the field, you can see where the image is supposed to be, though it doesn't render.  Is there any way to fix this or get around it other than uploading each image and inserting it? The only other fix I can think of is using attachments. Is there a reason you can't paste images inline in these fields?

Hello AllI have a forms library in O365 where I can go and create InfoPath forms. I need to archive these forms after a particular period of time. Is there a way to archive a forms library? I tried using the 'Copy Document' action. But my forms library is not getting listed out in it? Can anyone help on this?!

There seem to be some really great resources for archiving with on prem Nintex does anyone have any good resources or thoughts on performing similar actions for Office 365? Archive Item with Workflow History - YouTube

How to show calculate column created in nintex form in list view en sharepoint???

Hi all I've got a workflow that checks to see if a Comments field is empty or not. If Yes, the field is updated with text and the workflow continues to run. If No, the field is replaced with certain text and should continue to run, yet it doesn't. It seems to be having a problem with replacing the text in the comments field. Is there something I am missing, perhaps a clear comments step before inserting the comment? I'm working in O365.Thanks in advance!

I'm using Nintex Workflow for Office 365.  I have a workflow that creates a subsite from information in a top level list.  There's a status field in the top level list that's a choice field.  When a new subsite is created via the workflow, that status field is set to "Active".  At any point, a user can change that status field to "Closed".  When the status is changed to "Closed", I would like for the subsite to be read only, meaning all access to the subsite is set to read only. I believe you can do this manually, but I'm needing to do this via the workflow.  Does any one know how to accomplish this via a workflow?

Hallo I have to workflows on a document library,one is configured to start "on item created", the second has no start option selected, because the user triggers the start manually with an button click. So if I add an document, I receive an error because both workflows started on the item created event. Configuration for workflow oneconfiguration for workflow 2 after I added an document Message was edited by: Oliver LamplAdded an detail to the title

Hi, When I open the form in the browser I'm getting this error Also my workflow is being suspended. I've checked the assign to variable and it has value, Any idea? Thanks & Regards,

This is really infuriating.I have a list, with several list workflows designed to start depending on what status the list item/form is at. But changes by other task workflows are not recognized as changes by workflows, so everything grinds to a halt very quickly.--------------------------------A Nintex list form is saved, and then changes are made....Modification 1 (manual) Modification Task 2 workflow (starts after modification1 - it is an assigned task workflow); last step of workflow sets form status to Waiting for Modification 3 Modification Task 3 workflow should run after checking (using a run-if) whether the form status is Waiting for Modification 3 (other start-on-change workflows would fire, then finish quickly after failing the run-if check actions).But these on-change workflows refuse to run on any change not done manually on the list item. If I edit the list item, they run. But nothing else works.This all works fine on-prem, but not 365 Nintex.------------------------------

Hi, I'm setting a value in a field using JavaScript, and I have a rule that show some fields based on this value but the rule is not working.Is there any way to enable the rule? It is like is not being refreshed. However it works if I type something in the field (I cannot do this because it will be hidden) Regards,

Hello everybody, Anyone can tell me where I can find change logs of Nintex O365 version.For on-premises, no problems for that but when you have a pending update on your tenant I suppose you want to know which changes are going to be apply. Thank you and have a good day ! Best regards.

As a test, I added the Twitter actions from the store. Now I want to remove them. How do I remove them? ThanksDean

I'm curious to know how others handle the testing and Change Control process for workflows. I make modifications in the Test tenant and test the workflow there - can be arduous with some of the logic and boundary conditions.  Once done I export from Test and import to Production through the Workflow editor page.  However, within Production when I edit an existing workflow (lets call it Flow1), select import, it doesn't overwrite the existing definition of Flow1, but closes that object and opens the imported workflow as a new object.  I can't then save it as Flow1 "a workflow with that name already exists", so have to go with Flow2.  That also changes the name of the status fields in List view and starts to get messy. The alternative is editing the existing Flow1 workflow and manually repeating the changes previously done in Test - not the safest of methods. How do you handle this? Thanks,Gerard

Dears , Any idea how to use __api/SP.UserProfiles.PeopleManager to query user profile information

Hi, I want to know why I don't see the same view in the designer and in the browser. Resize runtime property is "no" for all the fields. Is there any property I need to change? (Buttons and approved columns are not important), the problem is with the labels and people controls. Designer Browser

Hello everyone, I have a lookup field called "SitesLookup" which provides users with a list of sites to select from. Once selected JavaScript runs on the form and pulls data such as "Management Area" and "Post Code" into the forms corresponding text fields. I now need to look up another list, the "Management" list. I need to somehow take the value from "Management Area" and put that into the look up field called "ManagementLookup". So far I have tried:NWF$(document).ready(function(){var lookup = NWF$("#" + SitesLookup);  NWF$("#" + SitesLookUp).change(function(){      var web = clientContext.get_web();         var oList = clientContext.get_web().get_lists().getByTitle("Sites");      var listItem = oList.getItemById(this.value);         clientContext.load(listItem, "Title", "ManagementArea", "PostCode")clientContext.executeQueryAsync(function(){ var sitManLook = NWF$("#" + ManagementLookup);var sitManArea = NWF$("#" + ManagementArea);                 var sitPost = NWF$("#" + sitPostCode

Hi Everyone, I have an issue with workflows at the moment. They are supposed to start automatically and manually but they don't work at all. Going back a month ago maybe a little while longer everything worked fantastic. Now the same work flows that worked well get stuck in "Starting" status and this is across the whole SharePoint site collection, affecting every list on every site and sub site, workflows do not work anymore. The only recent changes i'm aware of between the time they worked and the time they stopped have been:1 - Company Credit card details had changed and were not updated on SharePoint 365. They were eventually updated.2 - Renewing Nintex forms and workflow licenses. SharePoint designer workflows also do not work and do the same thing.- SharePoint designer workflows add a column in the list for the workflow that shows the Status as "Starting" and that never changes until I manually 'end the workflow'. No history is logged because the workflow did not start.- Nintex wo

Good day all.  Let me preface question with the fact that I am newer to Nintex.  And IT.I have created a Time Off Workflow with the "Exchange Online create calendar item" action in it to write to the users personal calendar.  After some trying, I have everything set correctly to perform this action, for a regular users calendar to be written to.  This took some work in both the action and our Exchange set-up. Works great now.My issue is when trying to do this to our company calendar, which originates from a Public Folder. This does not work.  I have enabled the mail settings in the a fore mentioned public folder.  But I cannot get it to work.I keep getting an error in the workflow that example.user@exampleurl.com doesn't exist but I know it does as I see it listed in the Exchange command center under Public Folders.Anybody out there make this happen and what to tell me how??CB

Hi Only specific users should delete documents in the attachments control. Is there any way to manage this?Can I do this using JavaScript? If so, how can I get the button id? Thanks & Regards

So, just out of curiousity, does deleting a List in SharePoint Online technically delete the Nintex Workflows/Forms associated with it? With some of the future pricing models coming up based on quantity, I'm curious if I create 3 test workflows on a List/Library, and delete the List/Library later, is there any kind of signal that deletes those workflows in the Nintex database?  Or do they just kinda float out there in limbo?
