Hello, I have a review assign task within one of my workflows and for some reason every so often the task will not kick off and I was wondering if there is away to get notified when the task don't kick off?  Thank you.Wendy 

I have variables that sum up dollar amounts that I display in a label. I am trying to figure out how to add two-digit fixed decimal to whole dollar amounts, or amounts with only one decimal, but haven't been able to figure it out. Does anyone know how I could update the variable formulas to do this? I could use pad right, but I can't figure out how to evaluate the number to know whether to add ".00" or "0". In my example below, I want it to show 172.50 for the second line, 1100.00 for the third. I know I could add read-only number fields for each value with 2 decimal places and create rules to display my variables instead, but that takes more than double the screen real estate and has extremely limited formatting options (no bold or italic, text size, etc..) I would even be okay with editing the JSON and importing it in, but I don't know how to format a number that way either - everything I find shows how to do it with JS, but that went away after the Classic form.

I would like to create a template.docx which included tick boxes, but when I use the document generator it converts it to a flat file pdf, is there anyway to still utilise the functionality?

Currently in the process of upgrading the Nintex app on SharePoint sites that do not have the "New Responsive Designers". Wanted to know if there were any negative effects for my current forms within the site. Some older sites have a heavy number of forms built already using the Nintex "responsive designer"(Older app version). Still new to Nintex so any feedback would be greatly appreciated. 

How can we create grid structure in a Nintex responsive form, which can bind data from different list. I have a requirement where I have to display meeting details on a Nintex Form, meeting details are saved in different list associated with item id of current list, meeting list has minimum of 10 column to display, Repeating section does not work here as Repeating section only binds with multi line column.

Receiving two errors when trying to make an update to an email notification within my workflow. Error #1Error #2Anyone know what the problem could be? 

Hi, I used to create manual workflow in Sharepoint 2010 + Nintex  and set a URL with ....startworflow.aspx ?ListID{skkdsk}&ID=1&Workflow_Name=Abc as hyperlink to click and excute by user directly, In Sharepoint online I am not able to create this hyperlink or couldn't find the solution to run workflow by a hyperlink or URL. Please advise the solution or also the equivalent of startworkflow.aspx in sharepoint online nintex.RegardsAsif

I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction. I set up a workflow and one of my users needs to be able to see the history to track task progress. I showed her the page that shows open tasks on my screen, but she couldn't see those details until I made her a site collection admin. This is not an ideal situation, our policy is to restrict site admin rights to IT for a couple reasons. Does anyone know what permissions someone needs to see the workflow history? I ensured she had full control of the list, access to both workflow tasks and workflow history lists, not sure what else to give her.

The only reference I saw to something like this was from 2016 and had no actual resolution (just a nebulous, "your workflow is too big" conversation). Which I might believe if a) we didn't have larger ones, and b) trying to restore back to the original, smaller workflow in development still causes the issue.Recently we finished a list/form/workflow update and were asked to replicate the new piece to another, related list. After spending a good chunk of a day creating the couple new columns, updating the form and then adding the actions to the workflow in development we did some tests. Everything looked good other than I hadn't updated the text in the emails from the approval tasks. So the following morning I began to add those same parts to production. After getting part of the way through I saved and kept going, on the next save attempt I received:Oops! Something went wrong.If the problem persists, contact your support team with the following information:ButtonPanel - handleXamlBuildE

I have a simple SharePoint list that pulls in a nominee name (via person/group field) and I want to be able to send a workflow email to the nominee and also the nominee's manager.   I can't seem to find a simple way to do this and it seems like something a lot of people would find useful.  Can anyone answer this simple question?  I thought I could create a variable but I don't know how to set up the value.  Thanks!

Hi everyone,    How do you convert a date to a string in Nintex Workflow Office 365? Does anyone know this? I have tried set field in current item or update list item but this doesnt work... Thanks!!    

I have a nintex form on a Sharepoint list previously created and the form is already on the production with a NWC workflow running successfully on it and the users of the list are able to complete the requests successfully. However, I tried attaching a sharepoint column(single line of text) to a field on the form called 'Amount' which is a single line text field and tried publishing the form, I get the following error.I checked all the rules and all I couldn't quite put my finger on the issue. All your feedback is much appreciated. P.S: I tried to put the sharePoint column field directly on the form and publish as well. the sme error was replicated.

Hi everyone,    How do I configure the workflow action Update List Item in the site workflow? I just want to update a list item in a certain library but it works way different as with a list workflow.   Can someone guide me through the steps of configuring this action? I just want to update a list item in a library with the value of another column in that same library.  Thanks in advance!!  

It just spins!! I spent days on the form and workflow. The workflow will open up, but not the form. I have a support ticket in too. I tried in both IE and Chrome. Both just get to the part with the little circle and keeps spinning. I waited as long as 15 minutes.

Hello Everyone,I am using the "Item URL" from "Common" references. In an existing Form, the URL shows up when completing the Form. In my new Form, it does not show up (and is not populating my List). Thoughts?Thank you!     

Hello Everyone,I hope Monday is off to a good start for everyone.Question: Setting up a "Calculated Value."  I'm using two "Single Line Textboxes" to multiply two numbers, to come to an "Annual Savings" Calculated Value.  I put the amount in, yet the amount does not calculate or return in the "Annual Savings" Control. Thoughts?Thanks!        

Hi, I currently have a list with a form and workflow. The list form has a people picker that allows for multiple selections, but only allows our internal emails. The workflow sends an email to all of these people. We would like to start including external users on the email. I thought that maybe I could use the email field that is available in the form designer, but that only allows for one selection and we need it to be a dynamic number of users. Will I have to create multiple fields and not be dynamic? Is there anything else I can do instead?

I have seven number fields in my Responsive form and I would like to sum them in real time so the user can see the running total.  The total doesn't need to be written to the list, just shown on the form. I've tried setting calculated column in Sharepoint, I've tried setting the default value of the "total" control to a formula of sum(column1,column2, column3) and I haven't been able to get it to work.  I'm sure this is simple and I'm just missing something.  Please help!

Hi everyone,    Is there a possibility to have a site workflow start a list workflow once per 24 hours? I cannot import my list workflow as a site workflow and the configurations for the workflow actions are quite different.    I just want to schedule in my list workflow to start automatically every day. Does anyone know the answer for this? Thank you very much in advance!!

Hello Everyone,I'm setting up a Workflow starting with a "Switch" or a "Conditional Branch."  The Workflow looks to a "Choice" column in SPO.  Seems straightforward - yet it's not cooperating (it will not run).  Is there something I'm missing?Thank you!

Hello Everyone,Quick question, hopefully.  A Control does not have a mandatory "*" next to its Title, though I "checked that box" in the Column in the Nintex List Lookup.  I believe I have refreshed all as necessary. Any suggestions?Thanks!
