How come when i adding a rule in task form, the scrollbar in named controls part was disappeared?  Google  Chrome. 

Nintex Forms O365 access is denied for external user when a document in document library is shared with edit permission. The document is shared via email. When the user clicks the link and sign in using his Microsoft account and he is able to see the document. But when he clicks to edit the properties the access for Nintex form is denied. 

I created a responsive form with a repeating section. I created hidden fields that stores the data from the fields in the repeating section. I have tried testing the form and if I enter 1-5 records in the repeating section it will save to my SharePoint list. However, if I try to enter more than 5 records the "Saving" icon just spins on the screen. Can anyone help me with this? Thanks in advance.

Dear all,  I am new to Nintex, just started today and created the below workflow.   1) I am using Nintex Workflow for Office 365. I am looking for two emails to be sent to two different set of people in parallel.2) The first "Send an Email" action worked - it triggered the email.3) The second "Send an Email" action is not working. The email doesn't get triggered.  I double-checked the recipients, it's correct.  * I think I made a mistake somewhere. Not sure where it is. Can you guys help me where it could be? * Is this the right way to send multiple emails in parallel? Thank you in advance.

Setup:2 Lists: list-a and list-b 2 SharePoint sites: site-a and site-b list-a is on site-a list-b is on site-b Both sites on same Tenant. A Connector for the Tenant. I'm attempting to set up a Workflow on list-a that creates an entry on list-b. I'm using the Office 365 Create List Item or Document Set action. In the settings for this action, there is a field: Destination site URL. There is no instruction or example of the format of the URL in the action dialog, and I have not found either in the Nintex manual. Is the URL and absolute or relative path (as it is in the Create List Item Action)?Can the URL have a leading or trailing slash?

Hi All,    I am using Nintex Form and Workflow for Office 365. Recently due to some communication issue between client and Nintex partner, Nintex license was expired for few hours. This caused few issues: 1. Users were not able to access List form for one of the critical application.2. SharePoint workflows were stopped. My question is, what is the best way to access List items (critical list) in this kind of situation ( renewal is pending or license is expired temporarily). Please point me to any existing thread or let me know here so that I would be prepared in future. Definitely will try to avoid this situation with better coordination with Nintex, Nintex partner and client's team. Thanks,Rahul  

I'm getting an error message "Access denied. You do not have permission to perform this action or access this resource" when a person tries to save an edit form.  The sequence is as follows:User creates new item and submits it, kicking off a workflow workflow then removes all existing permissions, grants the submitter Read permissions, and grants the NextUser FullControl rights on that item NextUser receives email to action the form NextUser clicks on link, views form, clicks on Edit button, and can edit the form NextUser then clicks on Save button (top Nintex ribbon), and form goes away to have a little think about it. Edit form re-appears with the error "Access denied. You do not have permission to perform this action or access this resource" along the top.  NextUser can only Cancel out of form. Note that the original workflow is still active as there are additional steps to be completed.  What should happen is that NextUser completes the edit, then responds to Lazy email with 'Compl

Hi,Is it possible to add multiple site collection  administrators assigned in the Nintex Workflow Office 365 Create Site Collection action?If not, is there a way to add a site collection administrator to a Site Collection in Nintex Workflow?

Hello All, I have a task list where I was changing permissions as a new task was entered so that only the assigned to user could update their task and the site owners.  This was not working the way I wanted so I changed the list permissions and gave everyone full access and changed the workflow so that it changed the permissions after the user responded (completed) the task to a more restrictive view/edit. I had to go back and update all the old tasks so that the everyone group had full access so that the users could see their tasks and respond.  Everything seemed ok but somewhere in 24ish hours the users who did nothing to their tasks had their tasks revert to my original restrictive settings.  No workflow has run, it was just a task item waiting for some input. The oddest part is that I have seen this behavior before using designer workflows... I just chalked it up to some oddity with designer.  I had to delete the task list and recreate a new one without messing with the permissions

I am using a trial edition of Nintex workflow for O365 to verify that this tool meets my company's requirement. O365 is also a trial edition. I need to confirm how to prevent site users from addding Nintex Workflow app. I plan that only site administrators can add this app.However, a user in a group with read permission can add Nintex WF app. Is this behavior caused from the trial edition? Please tell me how to control users to access app on a legitimate edition.

Hey there -  Using O365. So in On-Prem I would just use CAML Query and put the list GUID in there and query it.  All I have at my disposal is the ListId, and the list coming back will be different sporadically.  Within Query List, I HAVE to name a List via hardcoded dropdown so that won't work. Within O365 Query List, it looks like it lets me use a variable to name my list - so, cool, closer - but how do I retrieve the name of the List that correlates to my ListId?  Thank you! Rhia

Hi, is there any way to calculate the day of the week and put it in a field on a Nintex form? I need to display certain fields depending on the week day on which a form was created.

I need to move documents from one library to another (with folders) within the same site.The workflow only has the action "Office 365 send document to repository". The error it gives me is:Both the user initiator of the WF, and the user who created the connection have full control on the site.

How can we add an attachment control in a Nintex form of a document library?

Hello,.We have a main workflow that has a foreach and a switch inside it. The switch  can start up to 1 child workflows, but it can iterate up 3 times throught the switch and start child workflows.We are having alot of issues to make sure that the Nintex form is locked from edit mode when workflows are still "In progress". The major issue is that all the child workflows gets started same time and once that happens the main workflow will become completed. Since all the child workflows starts same time we cant really figure out a smooth way to solve this. We are trying to use "Wait for item update" with the workflow status field so that once one of the child workflows are completed, it will iterate again to next child workflow, just to make sure that the workflows are not executed same time. But here is a stopper for us.., We are having issues since the workflow status is a huge string with attributes and values, we have tried "Completed" and "5" as equal value inside the "Wait for item

Hi, I am trying to loop through a list and email people.

I'm trying to create a request form where the user must submit a request for a permit by 1pm the day before the permit goes into effect. They select the date of the permit on the form. If the time they are submitting the request is after 1pm the day before that date, I don't want them to be able to submit the form, and I want them to see a message stating why. I can't figure out how to create this rule or if it's even possible.

Hello, I know in SharePoint 2013 On-premises there is a task delegation function/feature that is when one person is not in the office, his/her task can be able to delegated to other people. Now I am working on creating a Nintex workflow in O365. Does the O365 have such function or feature?  I attached a screenshot which is the delegation in SharePoint 2013 On-premises. Thank you, Yong

Hey everyone, I've got a workflow For Each action that contains 6 query xml actions, and a 'build string' at the end to compile those XML queries into a string. When it's looping 2-4 times it's taking well over 30 minutes to run when it loops only 4 times (sometimes nearly an hour). This seems excessively long to me, but I'm mainly used to working in on-prem Nintex WF. Is Safe Looping turned on in 365 workflows by default? Is that likely what is causing this horrendous lag? Does anyone have any ideas on potential avenues for speeding this up? Thanks!Scott
