Is there anyway to compare two workflows side by side? I tried exporting the nwp file, but that doesn't open in notepad++ (well it does, but not in a way which it can be compared) I have two workflows which are supposed to be identical, however one is producing a very slight different result. The workflows are quite large, and the only way of doing this is literally opening every single step from both workflows one at a time.  Any suggestions appreciated! 

Hello everybody,  I have a strange problem.When I try to configure loop on nintex I only see white screen.On attachment is screen with view. 

Hi everyone, I'm looking to create a whistle blower form in which internal users can choose whether they would like their personal details passed along or not. The basic workflow would be to submit the form -> email gets sent to legal team. It is very important that when a user chooses to remain anonymous that no one be able to easily investigate and find the user's details. Using SharePoint Online means we don't have ready access to the logs, and I'm satisfied with that as it would be somewhat difficult to line up user with correlation IDs and workflow instances. Does anyone have any thoughts as how I would approach this? Is there anyway I can submit the form as SharePoint Administrator on behalf of the user?

Can anyone suggest a better community for getting support with 365 questions. Don't get me wrong. There are some superb people on here but I find this forum less than useless most of the time and never find answers to questions I have. Im assuming there is a better supportive community out there. I would have assumed that Nintex admins would at least provide some kind of feedback for posts where no one can provide an answer. But it just seems to be an area they are not interested in. So far I have been seeking answers to what should be simple questions and have had 1 reply from someone who did not know the answer. But I got a badge from it so WOOHOOOO!.

Working on a form with cascading lookup but cannot get the cascade to work correctly.Here are my two lists:Here is the form layout for the fields:Here are the control configs:The issue is when I use the filtering, the SubmittingOrgBusinessUnit1 field does not provide the filter need when a SubmittingOrg is chosen. In fact it does not offer any option.No change with the field for SubmittingOrg is chosen.If I do not filter the SubmittingOrgBusinessUnit1 controls, the field show the drop down options.Any assistance on this would be greatly appreciated!

I'm receiving the above error when using the Connection Manager for a O365 Query User Profile action. I had an existing workflow using credentials that I updated to using the connection manager. Then I started getting this error. Then I created a whole new workflow with just log actions and this query user profile action and using the connection manager. Still receiving the same error. The account in the connection I'm using is a Global Administrator account. I'm using the email address in the User Name (email address) field. Not sure what could be causing this?

designed a form in sharepoint and using Nintex workflow I am sending email for approval. There is a field with multiple line with Rich Text. In this field, I am inserting a picture/excel/pdf/other attachment but it is not visible in emails. In place of image there is only a red cross sign. Could you all please help?

I have a Delete Item object to delete other list records, for example i want to delete the list records in the list "IMX Procurement Details" where the column "Ref Num" equal to "NTP0000257". Supposed i have 2 records which the "Ref Num" are equal to "NTP0000257". but after the workflow executed, I found that it just delete 1 record in the list. Anyone can help and explain please, thanks.  The setting is below:    My List before delete records:  My List after delete records.

I have a task that has to be approved or declined by a user. However, after the due date has passed, the task should be autocompleted and I need to know in the further flow if the task was completed by the user or autocompleted. I was thinking of adding three outcomes (Approve, Reject, CompletedBySystem) and configure the task escalation to complete using the CompletedBySystem outcome. However, I do not want the CompletedBySystem outcome to be visible as an option to the user in the lazy approval mail that is sent out. Is this possible? Or is there another way to deal with this problem?

We set up new office 365 platform and trying Trail version of Nintext Workflows.I just created sample workflows which will just log some comments to workflow history and send email.I ran the workflow and checked status, it just shows "Started" and it's not proceeding further.

Hi all, I want to have error message under each field.Do you have any suggestion for me? Thanks,Bahareh

Hi  When i  trying to update Lookup column using REST API, getting Error Below (Standerd Columns are Updating Fine) {"error":{"code":"-1, Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.InvalidClientQueryException","message":{"lang":"en-US","value":"A 'PrimitiveValue' node with non-null value was found when trying to read the value of a navigation property; however, a 'StartArray' node, a 'StartObject' node, or a 'PrimitiveValue' node with null value was expected."}}} Bad Request In the Workflow steps: im using Merge method and ín the lookup Value passing the ID of Lookup values am i doing right?     

I was able to locate attachments when using on prem. However when I go to the folder where the attachments should be I can't see anything.        Is there someway to locate all the attachments for a particular form? 

I have an external user who has been given access to a form list and a task list. I've placed the link to the task form in the email coming out of the task. However when the external user clicks on the link a sharepoint form opens rather than the nintex form.  I've heard that this might be a licensing problem. I need to make comments mandatory on a reject, so I don't want to use lazy approval.  Is there a solution to external users getting access to Nintex task forms?

What is the equivalent of common:tab used in SharePoint 2013 on-premise Nintex Workflow to SharePoint online? A user I have is trying to create a text field with tabulations. We moved the workflow over from on-premise to SPO and it will not work here.

I have a number of site workflows that run on a loop and notify users if items are due. The workflows run on the same lists, and are nearly identical except the ones that have "Add Time to Date" with days or months subtracted from the date when action is executed (see screenshot attached) are immediately suspended with the following error. The other workflows run fine. I can't understand how "Add Time to Date" would affect the sending of e-mail messages? Help?

I have a list item: Offer Status: Values are Accepted, Declined or Sent.I want my workflow to wait until the item is changed from Sent to Accepted or Declined....but I just cannot work it our in Nintex Online using either of the workflow WAIT actions......

I am trying to show/hide a control based on selections from a drop down list. Documents Drop down has 4 options - A, B, C, D and I need the control to show when either A or B is selected. I got it to work for A but when I add B using the OR (||) notation in my expression, form does not display at all. Please does anyone have ideas or alternative suggestions? Expression reads thus:WorkingDocuments!="A" Not WorkingDocuments!= ("A" || "B")Documents!="A" || Documents!="B"

Hello, We are using Nintex Workflows and Forms app for Office365. I would like to get clarification if we can allow external users to approve/reject the tasks generated via Nintex Workflows for Office365. We will be sharing few documents with external users and would like them to participate in the approval processes. Please let me know if this is possible with current (April 17, 2015) version of Nintex Workflow App for Office365. Regards,Prashant G Bhoyar

has followed the steps of Vadin on his publication to move documents from one library to another preserve version history using "web request" and author.dll without success. My Worklow is on Office 365 and I am sure that something I have configured wrong,   The variable with the content is:This is the library when I have created the workflow and when the document is saved.    And this is the error:  Maybe I have wrong the server_name or oldulr parameter? 

HI, Please help write the nintex workflow. I have 15 folders and each folder has sub folder in lib A#. The workflow has to scan the lib A and move the excel files from sub folder which has status "Move" to folder in lib B. When the file in Lib B is rejected the workflow should move the file back to respective sub folder and change the status to "Ready " for users to update the file and change the status back to "Move" so that the workflow takes the action back to move the file back to lib B#

Hi All, So I have a part in my workflow where the user has to update the status of the request by selecting one of the 3 choices he has.Field type: ChoiceChoices:1- Pending (default)2- Confirmed3- CancelledBased on his selection, the workflow will be directed using switch action.As long as his selection is option 1, he can provide a comment about the reason for keeping it pending.  Once he choose option 2 or 3, the workflow will direct him to next action. My main concern is how to keep the workflow waiting his input until his choice is other than Pending (option 1).The "Wait for field change in current item" action  is missing the feature to input some conditions like Not equal or does not contain..etc Any hints guys ?

Hi, i recently added a trial version of nintex for our office 365 sites. I am developing a workflow which does not use task. In this we have a line manager approval. Once user submits the details the workflow should wait till the line manager approves or rejects the request then it moves on to director etc. how do i do that ? 

Hi All, I am on SharePoint 365 and currently struggling with figuring out as to why nintex is failing to send the authentication email for DocuSign. It throws an exception and workflow gets suspended. Anyone else come across this issue? An exception occurred while processing request. Correlation ID: xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxx I should also mention that all the other emails go through fine. Any help is appreciated. Thanks,
