Do you want to show master-detail information in a form and have it render automatically each time you change the master?  Repeating sections are your friend for this. The secret sauce is to set the default value of the repeating section to the data containing the detail line. “Default value?” I hear you ask.  “Surely that is only set when the form loads?” Well yes – every other control operates this way but we’ve tweaked repeating sections to re-render if the default value field changes.  This way you could use it to set up a repeating section with default values when the form loads but you can also re-render the repeating section if you change the default value. Read on for some examples of how to get this going. Example 1 – using a collection as a data sourceThe first example we’re going to use is by using a collection variable.  One thing you need to be aware of is if the collection variable

Hi there Is it possible to re-order the improvements portfolios as they show in the reporting screen? This is not our final list of portfolios but certainly wouldn’t want a general proposals section to appear first, would be more important for us to have non-conformances or health and safety concerns to show here but I can’t figure out if there is a way to adjust this order. Thanks! :)

I have an API (NWCToolkit Xtension,  base64encodefile) that returns two JSON elements: “error” and “result”: "Result": { "description": "Model for Result", "required": [ "error" ], "properties": { "error": { "type": "string", "x-example": "" }, "result": { "type": "string", "x-example": "SGV5IHdoYXRzIGdvaW5nIG9u" } } }, Since the workflow designer GUI doesn’t seem to have any way to differentiate “error” and “result”, I’m using the Query JSON action to parse the results.  Query

Hi I hope you are well. I am building a Nintex form using Nintex workflow cloud and pulling data from salesforce. There is a data lookup to pull the data Type as a list. The end user would select a Type from the drop down and then the items associated with the selected Type would be displayed on the repeating sections. There are varied numbers of items associated with each Type selected. My questions are How do I design the repeating section to be dynamic ie number of repeating sections should automatically change to the number of items associated with the Type selected? If say Type A is selected and Type A has 5 items associated with it, I would like to have 5 repeating sections and each of the 5 items should automatically be populated on each row.  Please advise how to achieve this. Thank you

Certificates, Re: Automation Specialist for Nintex Automation Cloud - Level I and 11Has anyone got any practice exams for these or any previous attempts documented so I can conduct some self assessments before actually taking the examinations?Would be nice to see, just like actual exam courses, some practice exams (full length - like those from university courses) and or the last couple iterations over the years. If anyone could assist me here, that would be great. I did reach out to my local Senior Customer Success Manager, however he advised he was not able to locate any such thing.

If you’ve seen any of my articles before, you may have seen that I speak about the Connected Data feature where you can use Excel to push data into your Word/Powerpoint/PDF template. The possibility is endless when it comes to Connected Data so it may be difficult to figure out what you can do with it.One use case that I encountered was removing the country code from the phone number if the country code is filled out. If it is not, then we want the use the phone number as is. One option that admins could do is to create a Salesforce field to determine this but I have encountered many that do not want to create a new field either because of having too many already to maintain or not wanting to create a field with the only use of it is to be used for DocGen.In my specific example, I will have a field where the user may or may not
