Order Catalog

 Has anyone been able to build a purchase or order form? What we are looking for is a way to display photos of different products that can be ordered. Then choose how many of each item that needs to be ordered. We are hoping to pull the products from a SharePoint list.

Find Document URL

Hello!I am creating a workflow to send email reminders for document that haven't been updated for a while. I am querying the library to find old documents, then using a "loop for each" to look at each one.I want the reminder email to include a link to the document, but I can't see how to get the file's URL. Most of the files are in folders, so I can't just append the file name to the library URL.Does anyone know how to do this, please?

Repeated Section into Variable

Hi, I have a form with a repeating section with a single data lookup field (user's select one course from a list fed by a data source). My intention is to combine all of the requested courses into a single variable. To do that, I do a loop for each for the repeating section and in each loop I append that iteration's value to a variable. The intended result is a variable that would be Course 1, Course 2, Course 3, etc. However when I test my workflow, the variable has a bunch of extra markup (see below for example). How to I get rid of that?  {"tf_ac8c64c171f545ed8faa1e7febeb8035_scheduled_course_title_copy_m1m33dtge":"Read, Lang and Learn 8"}, {"tf_ac8c64c171f545ed8faa1e7febeb8035_scheduled_course_title_copy_m1m33dtge":"Calculus AB"}, {"tf_ac8c64c171f545ed8faa1e7febeb8035_scheduled_course_title_copy_m1m33dtge":"English 100"}

Lag with triggering Nintex Workflow Cloud (NWC) workflows

We have a list in SharePoint Online, which uses Nintex Forms 365. A workflow has been created in Nintex Workflow Cloud (NWC) which is triggered upon creation of new list items. While there is usually minimal lag to trigger the workflow, in some instances it takes 7-10 minutes (or more), just to trigger the workflow, let alone process the workflow logic. To be clear, we are comparing the 'Created' SharePoint timestamp with the 'Instance Start Time' in NWC. Customers are not particularly impressed, especially considering that we didn't see such lag with Nintex365 workflows.Could you please advise the possible reasons for the delay, and how we can mitigate this from occurring. Thanks.

Google sheet data lookup on form

Hi all   I am new to nintex workflow cloud. I would like to use values from a specific google sheet to populate a dropdown.  I use the data lookup control but when using google sheet connector I can only look up the list of sheets in the google drive rather than the content inside the sheets.   Is there any way I can achieve this?   Thanks.

NWC Excel connector how do I get the workbook ID?

I'm trying to use the new Microsoft Excel connector in NWC just released.https://help.nintex.com/en-US/nwc/Content/Designer/Connectors/MicrosoftExcelConnector.htm  In a sharepoint site I've created a document library. In the library I created a spreadsheet with an excel table. Table has two columns with headings and a single row of table data.I've created an Excel connection in NWC. When I use any of the actions for Microsoft excel. Nothing appears in the dropdown for workbook and I can't workout how to get the workbook ID. I appreciate this is only version 1 of this connector and only released in the last week so the help documentation is very this at the moment on how to use and what the requirements are. Any ideas friends?

List Lookup of Local Lists

In Nintex for O365 there is an option to use SharePoint Lists in a drop-down or as radio buttons with it being filtered based on an expression (that can reference the value of other Nintex fields in a complex expression or variable using intrinsic functions) with the ability to show unique values only. How to implement Local Lists (stored in the tenant and does not rely on SharePoint at all) with filtering and unique value presentation capability? This way it's very fast, doesn't require SharePoint nor SQL, and most importantly, it would support cascading listboxes. For example with 3 dependent listboxes you can select Country --> Province --> City. Selecting the Country will cause the Province listbox to show only provinces from that country. Once the country and province are selected, only cities from there are listed. Changing the province choice will clear the city choice. Changing the country choice will clear both the province and city choices. Euan Gamble's (former Nintex

I'm creating a workflow with has up to 3 levels of approvals and a different task form for each level.Applying the company branding colours to these forms it is becoming a bit onerous to do this every time I design a new form. Would be great to have the ability to create a new custom style in the tenancy settings.I've created a user voice for this if you would like to vote it up.https://nintex.uservoice.com/forums/430063-5-nintex-workflow-cloud/suggestions/41575729-style-manager-or-global-form-style-settings

Attach multiple attachments from collections to email

I'm pretty new to Nintex Cloud Automation. I am trying to get attachments from a SharePoint list and attach those to an email, so I'm using the Item Attachments. I just can't figure out how to pull more than 1 for the email. Then I thought maybe store the attachments in a document library, so I did that. I also don't see where I can append to a variable. Can someone help? Let me know if more information is needed.

Updating List After Assign Multiple Assignee Task

I have a workflow in NWC.  There is a "Assign Task to Multiple Users" which uses a form.  Once that form is filled out by whoever first gets to it, I want to update a Sharepoint List with the new information.  I've done this in the past but what was used in the past and works, isn't the same as it is today and I can't figure out how to make it work.  Can someone please help.  Let me  know if you need more information.  Thank you in advance.

Dynamic value inside a list query

Hello, i have a question about a process i would like to create inside Workflow Cloud.I have a workflow based on a form, and the data in the form are used to create items in a Sharepoint list. For the sake of clarity, i'm gonna give an example:my form ask about 3 things, a first name, a last name, and a city, which you select from a dropdown (let's say Paris, London, Madrid and Berlin).My sharepoint Site also has 4 more lists, already filled, and each one of these list is named after a city, which correspond to the city asked about in my form.In these lists are email adresses.Is it possible, in my workflow, to search for the city name given in the form, and query the correct list from that data?I talk about dynamic value because the perfect solution would allow me to dynamically add city possibilites in my form aswell as in my Site, with a corresponding new list.I already thought about making a branch by Value action, but i would like to know if there was a more efficient way to create

Update a single item in a list

Hello, i have an issue with a list i'm creating in Nintex Workflow Cloud.The start event is a form, from which i pull the data and i create an item in a list with this data into Sharepoint Online.After that, i assign a task to accept or reject the item based on criterias, and after that i want to update one of the item's field to "accepted' or "rejected", however, when i try this through the update items, the entire column of items take the value of the last item, accepted or rejected. Is there a way to update that field independently or am i going to have to enter this value by hand?If i'm not clear enough, can i update the Accepted status of one item based on an assign a task action and an update items in Sharepoint, or will all the items always take the last value entered through the assign a task process?

Can NWC "My Nintex" show forms connected to SharePoint lists?

We have many lists and associated forms and workflows in SharePoint Online.  We are migrating the workflows over to NWC.  The source of the data will remain in SharePoint and we were going to leave the forms (which are connected to the lists) in SharePoint.  Is it possible to show these forms in "My Nintex" "Submit a form", "Forms Submissions" and "Favorite forms"?

Where is "My Nintex Settings"

In NWC, I am looking for "My Nintex Settings".  According to the Nintex documentation, I should be able to see it by: On the Workflows page, on the right of the workflow you want, click three dots (...) and then select My Nintex settings from the context menu. The My Nintex settings panel is displayed on the right.  When I click the 3 dots, I only see Help, Feedback, What's new, Nintex apps and Status page.  Am I looking in the wrong place?  My role is set up as a "Global administrator".   Where can I find "My Nintex Settings"?

Task Attachments - Please help me pass through task attachments to emails!!!!!!

I need help taking task attachments and adding it to a follow-on email within the same workflow. Of course, it can't be simple so does anyone have a way to do this???? I already had to do some out of the box thinking by creating a text variable to display a list of attachment links to bring in the related sharepoint list item. Super annoying at this point that attachments are such a big issue in NWC.

Cannot publish workflow with Box connector

Greetings: I have just set up a login account with my company's Box account and am trying to test the connection to Nintex Workflow Cloud via a simple workflow. I've set up the connector correctly (or at least it appears so) and used it in a workflow start event (when new file is created). I can save the workflow but when I try to publish it I get the following error:  "Error: The workflow cannot be published at this time. Please retry later." I am able to publish other workflows so it must be something with the Box connector that it doesn't like.   Thanks!

How to send form back to initiator and have them update the fields in the form?

Hello, I am trying to create a workflow where the initiator would fill out a form and then it would be sent to a reviewer and the reviewer can reject or approve. If the reviewer rejects, the form would get sent back to the initiator and the initiator would have to modify the form per the reviewer's comments and then send back.  So I make use of the branch by stage but the main issue is trying to have the variables of the start form be changeable/updated when the initiator fills out a form (that resembles the start form)? I will explain further. I have the initiator fill out a new form that resembles the start form since there does not seem to be a way to go back and have them work on the already filled out start form but modify that.  In the attachments, form.JPG, I created a new field called New Campaign Description in the form where the initiator would fill out and the default value would pull the original info from Campaign Description but I would like to set the original Campaign D

Strip Special Characters from entered value

I have a NWC Form which allows the user to attach a file which I then upload to a SharePoint online library.  In the upload action, I created a folder using the Firm Name which is entered on the form.  I have run into an issue when someone enters special characters in the Firm Name as SharePoint don't allow special characters in the naming of folders.   I've tried using Apply a regular expression action but I'm really bad at regex.  I've been able to get there somewhat by use the Replace operation with expression [^w] and using an underscore character to replace. But what I really want to do is remove the special character entirely but the Replace text field cannot be left blank. Help!

Using date last modified, trigger reminder email

Hi all! I have a form that is essentially an issue tracker and the manager of the group that is responsible for resolving these issues wants to be notified if an issue hasn't been touched/modified in 48 hours. I tried using the Condition builder in NWC and the Modified column isn't available to set a condition on.  Any ideas on how to set up the workflow to only go out if a list item hasn't been modified in 48 hours? Thank you!
