I have a pretty basic workflow that has a task with either Approve or Reject as the outcome options. I want to set a status field based on the outcome of the task. Is the outcome stored anywhere? On-prem there was an option in the task to store the outcome as a variable and then use it later. I could hard code that now, but it adds additional steps that would put this workflow over the threshold of 5 steps when we already have a limited license. It would sure be nice if we wouldn't need to use additional steps when that is how we are charged for licensing.

I was able to figure out passing variables from the component workflow to the main workflow once complete, but how do I even get the Item ID passed to the component workflow in order to run queries?  There is no "current item" option in the site workflows so running a query on the current item to get information seems impossible. background/reason: I need to split up my HUGE workflow that has currently 235 activities and growing.  I have several sets of tasks I use repeatedly and all I need is a different set of values.  Or is there a way perhaps within a workflow to do like a script would in a Function that I can keep calling? Because that would be amazing!

I found a few things on line, but none of it quite got me there. List A is "Intake".  The fields are "Starting Check Number" and "Ending Check Number".  There is a calculated field called Number of Checks (Ending-Starting)+1 to calculate the number of checks in the range.  Nintex workflow on "Intake" is a loop (Loop N Times) that uses the "Number of Checks" field as "N".  Create a List Item action creates an item "N" times on List B.  I've built a few variables, and a math function to add +1, but therein lies the problem I think... List B is "Output".  Currently the only field on List B (other than title, which autofills) is "Check Number". Currently what works: A line item is created "N" times in List B.  What isn't working: My variables aren't incrementing.  What I'm getting is the "Starting Check Number" N-times.  What I need is the first item to be the Starting Check Number, and each "N" after that to add +1. I'm right there!  I can actually see where my variable/looping logic is f

My list "IMX Procurement Details" have multiple columns e.g. Item, Qty, Price, i want show all of the columns on the List lookup control on Nintex form, is it possible? thanks. 

I have a query in my workflow that looks at an Out Of Office list and queries 3 columns, to get the Delegate To person to assign the task to: Delegate From = ApproverStart Date <= TodayEnd Date >= Today However, I was wondering if it was possible to allow the End Date to also be NULL? Like if someone (ex: a high level person) wanted to delegate all tasks forever, how do I build the query that says: Delegate From = Approver AssignedStart Date <= Today(End Date >= Today OR End Date IS NULL) I tried adding the NULL to the query but I get the wrong result.  I set up 2 Out Of Office items, one with a date in range and a date starting next week with no end date.  I get the result for next week.  I also removed the end date from a few others and it picked the first result with a NULL End Date.

Good day fellow Nintexer's.  I have a problem plaguing me that I was hoping someone could help with.  I'm trying to set-up a system to send Purchase Orders out to our suppliers.  In the body of the email is a "MailTo" URL that generates the following email response:This email is going to an inbox where a Flow is set-up to move the body of the email into a SP list.  In other words this:Gets transferred to the list as this:I figured out how to run the HTML through a RegEx to get this:How do I simply get "TEST INFO HERE!" output to place elsewhere?  I cannot seem to find a RegEx example that take into account the supplier may place one word or a paragraph with 1 - n carriage returns between the first "*" and the second "*".  Does anyone have a (simpler) way to do this?

Hi everyone My workflow runs by modifications on a document library. But in my case I want to different (with condition in the workflow, ... or any other workarround) between a modification in the document (upload new file into the library as a new version and/or changes in a office document) and the modification of metadata.In both cases the SharePoint library creates a new version and the WF starts - and I have no attribute to different between a "Content Document change" and a "Metadata Change". I hope this is understandable ;-)Can someone help in this case or have had the same issue? Kind regards,Reto

Hi, I am trying to create a site workflow which runs every day. and triggers Reminder email when Reminder date(column in library) = today. (variable in workflow) I have tried creating variable today = when the action is executed as the screenshot below but this does not work. Getting the error as "String was not recognized as a valid DateTime." Any other suggestions on how to get the reminder going in 365? This document was generated from the following discussion:  

I have a list with several text fields. People will put a link to a document in them. I want to update the permissions on those documents. The documents will always be in the same site, but may be in different libraries. I'm not sure how to extract the relevant information from the link text. I appreciate any help.

Hi everyone! I have a couple of issues in my Nintex implementation that I haven't been able to figure out. I've also worked with SMEs at my company and they had no luck either - they suggested posting on the Nintex community site for help. This is the first of two posts I am creating I have multiple forms on multiple lists configured to throw confirmation text after submitting the form via Save or Save and Submit buttons.  However, my confirmation text NEVER appears regardless of the form, list, or browser I am using (have tried Chrome, Firefox, IE, and Edge). One of the SMEs thought it might pertain to the rules I have configured but this occurs on all of my forms regardless of whether there are rules in the form or not (Some of the forms have a lot of rules and some of them are very simple and have none). Others have indicated that this might not be working because I have redirect URLs as well as confirmation text, but I can't see why this would cause a problem either. I have also tr

I have about 2000 people that use a workflow (soon to be more as we expand to the whole department).  There is no way to keep track of who comes and goes for bureau chiefs and various approvers in my workflow unless they notify me. Is there any way to verify if a user is still valid in the workflow?  Sharepoint still keeps their info as an entry so if it went blank that would be easy but it doesn't....  I tried a profile query but it errors and tried to look for something else but I don't see anything.  If the invalid user gets assigned a task or has his profile queried then the workflow errors.

I have a SharePoint site and list with a nintex form. I add a panel, give it styles like borders and background color, however the border never shows up. I have it at 4px thickness, colors that should show up, and have gotten rid of any custom css on the form.why wouldn't it show up?

Hey all! Need a little help here with an O365 workflow build. We are using "Start a Task Process" in the hopes of setting up an approval that needs ALL THREE of the approves to OK the item before moving on to the next stage. Problem is the workflow is APPROVING regardless if someone rejected. I've played around with state machine a bit, but am still getting an approval regardless if one person rejects. I thought about setting up a query, but am not sure if there's an easier way to do it (and not 100% sure of how to set up the query). I'm learning Nintex for O365 as I go, so any help would be incredible!!! Thank you!!!

In many instances, I've written complex rules on my forms. Then, I create a new control and need to apply an existing rule to the new control. I used to be able to do this with no problems by clicking "Add to selected controls" within the rule settings. However, within the past two months or so, I've been unable to do this. I am still able to click the  "Add to selected controls" option, but the rule never actually get applied to the controls I have selected. Nintex forces me to select the control and only applies a rule when I create a brand new one for that control. This is inefficient and has created a lot of extra work for me.  Does anyone know why might cause this? As you can see, I posted recently about another strange issue. One of the Nintex SMEs at my company suggested I might have a corrupt implementation of Nintex that is causing these weird problems with functionality. Any ideas?

Hi; Yesterday I started a Nintex Trial to show a client the Document Generation activity in Nintex Workflow. I made a very simple WF with one activity, like this;           All worked perfect till today. Unexplicably, the same WF today don't work, with an internal error. This error; The documents generated are below of 500. So, it's not reach the trial limit. See below;  - It is possible to get more detail about the Internal Error shown?¿Where?- Any ideas about this error? Thanks for all.

Hello. We're using a Nintex workflow with a classic task approval form. We have many users who want to approve on their phones, but the users that have iPhones (iOS 11.4.1)  get an error when pressing the "OK" button to approve the task. This happens in Chrome, Safari, and Edge. Android users can approve on their phones without issue. The error is shown below.  Any help or guidance on this issue would be greatly appreciated!

Hello, When we try to navigate throught a Iphone to a form that have a phone layout published, we recieve a message "Enable cookies on your browser to use the form"... We have made sure that cookies is enabled always throught the Safari settings on the phone, no success..We tried also by removing all history data.We tried with rebooting the iphone.We tried download Chrome browser and tried throught that.. No success... What kind of authentication is used by Nintex? Since most of the other microsoft integrated cloudbased apps works fine throught Iphone but not a Nintex Form?!  

Friends,Is there a way I can insert pdf watermark in documents using workflow? The intention is to have custom watermark based on review outcome. Thank you in advance !!

I have a lookup field in the nintex form which is pulling from SP list. I want to autopopulate the people picker column associated with each lookup field from the list. SP List:Title                        HRname  (Data type is people picker)ORG1                    Person 1ORG2                    Person 2ORG 3                   Person 3ORG 4                   Person 4 So in my nintex form ORG is list lookup and based on the selection of ORG HRname should be auto populated.  Thanks

Guys .......We are evaluating the options for pdf watermarking tools for workflow......I need some advice as to which one is better. ...Muhimbi...plumsail any other? all pointers are most welcome !

Can you please provide me a list of  Which features are available in O365 and which are not compared with nintex in sharepoint on premise ?

Hi all, I am trying to get tasks details from a workflow and especially the status of the task to be sure that all tasks are completed, but when I log to history I am always getting a blank value.Could anyone help?

I find a lot of solved posts about this but everyone has a different situation than me and none of their solutions seem to work. I have a travel request workflow that gets approvers based off the budget account. The budget account is matched off a list that I get the various approvers for.One of these columns is for grants that historically I was using a sharepoint group for. In the workflow it has no problem assigning the task to the SP group but most groups don't get emails, or some people in the group do but not all.  I thought about doing a multiple value people picker.  I tried:a. Assigning a variable (of several types) the value of the multiple people field but I get an error or completes with no email actually sent.b. assigning the group to a "people or group" variable and sending an email and it completes but no email was sent.c. RegEx to extract email addresses from the JSON its stored in but I can't even get it to write to the log to see the format but this errors about the t

I have a requirement where my customer would like to be able to add additional assignees to an approval task after it's started. I mentioned it would be easiest to terminate the workflow, restart it, and add the additional approver's names the second time after it starts. They don't really like this idea because if one or more of the existing assignee's have completed their approval task in the first workflow instance, they would have to "re-approve" with the second instance and they're trying to avoid that. They would like all of the original workflow tasks to stay intact and to simply "add" additional workflow tasks on top of the ones already assigned. I told them it's not possible, but thought I would reach out to the community to see if anyone had any clever ideas I could use to achieve this. Maybe create a second workflow that could be run manually that would create the new tasks? But how would that impact the first approval workflow action. Looking for ideas... Cheers!

Was reading through several posts as I am searching for a solution that involves a List Lookup and validation rule. My situation is just slightly different, but very close to some of them. I have a List Lookup on my form that has two drop down values (Add New Vehicle and Replacement Vehicle). These each are connected to a panel via a rule to hide/unhide depending on the value selected in the drop down (list lookup).  I added validation rules so that if one selection is made (Add New Vehicle), it should only impact the other (Replacement Vehicle). However, when I test this, the validation rules fire on both selections. Need some expertise from the great Nintex community. Any thoughts?
