Hi, I'm using Nintex for O365. I've got a problem with calculated values not displaying on new forms. It was working a short while ago (not sure of exact date). Can anyone help? Looks like there was a similar problem in 2017 which turned out to be a bug.Thanks.

All,  I have a question about the "causes validation" setting on button controls. When doesn't it cause validation? Currently I have a button control with the following settings: And I have a rule set on a certain field that is should not be empty when a certain status is "Open", example:When I leave the field blank and press my "save as draft" button with setting "Causes validation = no" the field is still validated:Am I approaching this the wrong way and did I misunderstand the functionality of the "causes validation" setting? I am using responsive forms on O365. Thanks, Glenda

Hello everyone. I have a very simple question to ask, and I am struggling to make it work. I have a simple Nintex form. The form contains a text field called "favorite_color", and a save button. I also have a LIST, with a column called "color" which I would like to update via a workflow. The idea is to capture the information typed in the "favorite_color" field of the form, and insert that value into the "color" field of the LIST. I have created a WORKFLOW:  I then edit the property of this workflow action called "Create List Item"I am targeting the list name ("Andrei List - Colors"), and also the field of that list called "color" I have attempted various combinations in the "Title" and GUID and ID sections, but I cannot anything to work. I am not seeing the forest for the tree, and would appreciate any help with this. Would like the entered color in the FORM (when the "Save" button of the form is pressed) to enter a new record in the LIST ("Andrei List - Colors") with the text that wa

Hi guys, I need to show "Computer name/hostname" in Nintex form for SharePoint online, Classic form. Also, it should be editable by the user. Can you help me if you have any experience with that?   ThanksBahareh

I have an historical list of data that utilizes the column ID as the project ID number. I have a new nintex form that will be used in our new sharepoint site for project submissions (we are retiring the old sharepoint site). I need to continue to work with the historical list of the project data. If I import the project list to a new sharepoint site, will the new nintex form submission pickup from where the last ID number is (1300) or start over at 1? Example: current list ends with ID number as 1300. If after I import the project data list to a new site, will the next form submission grab the ID as 1301 or 1?

How to block edit document on sharepoint online list. All the users have “Contribute” access as anyone can create and modify documents in the list.  Problem: 1. After approved by the approver the attached document (Word file) shouldn´t be available as edit mode anymore. It should be read only mode. For some reason, even if I set Nintex to make the attachment field as read mode or disabled, the users are still able open the document make changes and save. But it shouldn’t be allowed. How to proceed?

Since migrating from Nintex Workflow OnPrem to OnLine, we seem to have constant issues with workflows suspending for no reason. There is no email warning, as the onprem version used to have, so unless a user contacts me or our legal department contact me, I have no idea the workflow errors.Is it just our installation or are other users our there experiencing issues with Nintex OnLine?I  was a big advocate of Nintex Forms and Worklfow ONPREM but I find the ONLINE version to be very tempramental.I would appreciate any feedback.

Hey guys: Building a workflow in O365. Nothing fancy, nothing complicated. Getting this, over and over and over when I try to copy actions of any type - Action Sets, Permissions actions, Conditions -- all completely filled out and valid. And, after this, 80% of the time the entire canvas is cleared and empty, and I have to reload. Thoughts? Thank you, Rhia

I need help with a site workflow based on the due date of tasks.  The workflow would send a notification to the Assigned To person if a task is due soon or past due based on the due dateDue date in 10 business days Due date in 3 business days Due date is 0 business days Due date is 5 business days past due date Due date is 10 business days past due date Due date is 15 business days past due date and daily after 15 business days Notifications are sent to the Assigned To person and they receive only one notification in a day Notifications to be sent at 4:00 each business day Project and Task status = In Progress The email notification contains a link, url, to the SharePoint Task List

Hi all,Not sure if this is something that is possible, but thought I would ask anywayI'm currently working on something for quality assurance, which allows users to log complaints that they receive. I have it set up with one SharePoint list that contains all entries (for QA to use to track all complaints) and then a separate list for each department which contains just their own complaints. I had to set these up as different lists as QA does not want each department to see anyone else's complaints, and as far as I can find there's no way to limit access to views. I'm now trying to get it so that when one of the departments updates the status of their complaint, that change is then reflected in the main QA database. I found one solution that works, but it requires a new workflow for each department (currently 11, however could grow)I was just wondering if there was any way for this to be contained in 1 workflow in the main QA list, that then pulls the data from the department lists. Thi

Hi All, Wishing you a very happy new year!Recently, we met a customer who are leading infrastructure, building development and management organization company. They are on SharePoint 2013 and 2016 On-premises environment. They asked for demonstrate Expense Claim form as its too manual. They asked for demonstrate Expense Claim form as its too manual.  We demonstrated to them the Expense Claim scenarios in our SharePoint Online demo tenant showed how easy to develop Nintex forms and workflow. The customer mentioned approval will be done by internal staff as well as by many external clients (government councils, government agencies, and other private construction business entities etc.)  As SharePoint On-premises environment no CALs required for external users, we could use Nintex Live to achieve this. As Nintex Live is cloud based service that lives in the cloud and it allows to publish Nintex Forms outside of SharePoin Customer wants to save the external clients Nintex form within Share

Hey guys, as we all know a list workflow can only have one running instance per item. If you try to start the workflow twice via other workflows using the "Start Workflow" action you will receive this error message: "A workflow is currently running. Please wait for it to complete." However, the workflow containing the "Start Workflow" action will be suspended. Is there any way to avoid the workflow being suspended in this case? I thought about capturing the workflow successfull bool hoping that it will activate some kind of error handling like in OnPrem so i can check the bool afterrwards and simply put a loop around my "Start workflow" action. But it seems this return value is useless as it only return true on a successfull satrt but nothing if the workflow couldnt be started. I also thought about not using the "Start Workflow" action but a web service call. However I haven't found a way to start a nintex list workflow in O365 by using a web service call. Any input is highly appreciat

What's the best practice for collecting SSNs during onboarding?I was thinking of writing them to a diffent list that only HR has access to, rather than just the list with all of the new user info.  Thanks for any help. 

I was told when I inherited the Nintex workflows and forms that I cannot "Save As" and can only save over the same workflow and form?  Is this true? I would like to be able to save a copy so when I make drastic changes I can go back to the version that worked...

Who can help me with the creation of Nintex O365 workflows?When I save the Nintex form I want that workflow run as follow:1. Send an email to responsible(s) in accordance with item selected in the "definied" field.2. This person when receive this email, will approve or reject the form.3. If form is approved: workflow run the function Document Generation to create and edit a document in Word (*.docx) with the fields filled in the form (Using a predefined template).4. If form is rejected: The form must return to the requester to be corrected.I've read several manuals, but I still do not have experience working with workflows.Best Regards,Chiaretto

Hello, I'm trying to fix a copy item workflow.  I made a duplicate list, using a template of the original list.  I created a workflow to copy item where  a status changes, then delete the item.  It does delete the item after the status change, but it copies over a wrong item to my 2nd list, and every time I try to change a different item it keeps copying the same list item from the original list.  Any advice?

I have a series of Drop Down lists linked to another SharePoint List. The select of the "2. Select Sub-Program" is then required to hide or display other panels. The issue I have is that the actual returned value e.g. 6;#Communication (Stakeholder) is not what is displayed in the list. I tried by using substring BUT becuase the prefix value is comes 1 chr (6;#) and then in other cases "14;#" I cannot return the value I need. Is there any formula similar to substring after that will allow me to return the values after the #/

I have a workflow with the "Start A Task Process" part. I've configured it to use Parallel Task Assignments, with "Wait for First Response." The assignment goes to two people. 95% of the time it works great. The workflow notes the first of the two users to respond and proceeds. I've noticed however, that 5% of the time when the first person approves (task complete), the workflow doesn't proceed. It gets stuck until the second person approves. My guess is that the first person approved too fast because there's no workflow error. I can't prove this however, because when the second person approves, SharePoint deletes the first person's approval task.  Has anyone seen anything similar?

Hi,In O365, to start the workflow, I would like to click on a button I have inserted with some HTML in a computed column.If I use the onclick event using the same Javascript used when you click on the Workflow name in the Workflow page, it fails as it cannot find the Javascript function.For example: The Javascript in the Workflow Page isjavascript:StartWorkflow4('5364449-4753-45a6-9d03-2cd1a3128152', '1', '{69F81205-A555-4568-A673-1528C546E3B7}')FYI, the 3 arguments are (subscriptionId, itemId, itemGuid)The Javascript fails because StartWorkflow4 is not found. I have tried to reference the page where the Javascript is coded but the debugger told me that the page name is unkwown !!!Then I tried to use a full url to set in a A HREF, but I cannot find any reference on how to build it.Did you have any success to build the same feature.Thanks!!!Christophe

I created a flow and set it to manual start only. The only action I do is log the Content Type ID of the current item, I get 0x0101006DEBD2FA20532748A13F342889D612ED0081C5511C47941049AF052D0814DC24A3 If I now configure the flow to start when an item is modified and I set the condition to be Content Type ID = 0x0101006DEBD2FA20532748A13F342889D612ED0081C5511C47941049AF052D0814DC24A3 - the flow never starts when I edit the item. Do start conditions not work?
