Run If or a regular conditional action

Outside of run ifs having 1 output path vs 2 when discussing a conditional action, what are the pros/cons of using either?Is there a large enough performance difference between the two to warrant one over the other?More specifically, even in a situation where you only need one path, does it really matter which action is used?

Previous Field Value changed to New Value

Back in the old days, Nintex Workflow had a condition that captured the Previous Value of a Field and allowed you to set an action if that specific value was changed to another specific value.   For whatever reason, they removed that option.  Anyone have a workaround or a way to make that happen?   I just need an email to send when a Status (fieldName) is changed from Pending to Escalation (fieldValues).

Get Repeating Section Data from NWC Form and save to SharePoint list

I have a NWC workflow with a Form as a Start Event.  The form has multiple fields, including 2 simple repeating sections (2 text fields in each section - attached).Once the Cloud form is submitted, an item is created in a SharePoint (O365) list.In the ''Create an item'' action I have inserted the repeating section data from the Start form, into multiple lines of text fields in the list item. The text fields in SharePoint are set to "plain text".Once the list item is created, a list workflow uses ''Query XML'' to get the repeating section data ("Name of Course'' and ''Training Covered'' - attached). The workflow then generates a PDF which gets attached to the list item (PDF also needs the repeating section data added to it). All of the above worked fine until I tried adding the Repeating section data.  Now when the list workflow runs it error when trying to Query XML with the following error:XML content is invalid. Data at the root level is invalid. Line 1, position 1..I have not had is

Fonts suddenly not rendering properly

Not sure if I should post this here or submit a support ticket, but over the last few days I've noticed that the fonts I use for NWC forms aren't rendering properly when launched from production. I typically use either Lato or Open Sans font for my forms, and they look fine when designing the form, but when the form is actually launched in production, everything renders in Arial font. Wondering if anyone else has experienced this. This isn't a huge deal (at least it isn't rendering in Comic Sans or something!), but I'd prefer to be able to see the fonts I've selected. I was wondering if this might be a result of something in the latest release, because it started just within the last few days. Edit: I thought it might be browser-related but the behavior occurs in both Edge and Firefox.

How do I generate copies of documents when they are generated in a Nintex DocGen package?

I have a Nintex DocGen packages that holds several documents, and I would like to create individual copies of each document when the originals are generated. The copies would ideally have some fields of the documents blocked out. Do I do this with the insert-update option?

Listing Nintex Workflow Tasks across a site collection

I am working on a SharePoint web part that would approve selected Nintex Workflow Tasks. It would be simple form listing Nintex Workflow Tasks (check-boxes for the ones that need to be approved). Does anyone have an example how to get Nintex Workflow Tasks in a site collection? I guess that CAML query would be used for this. Thank you,

Migration of form with Page Viewer to Nintex Cloud getting Frame refusal error

Good morning,We have migrated a Nintex form from  Nintex on-prem to Nintex Cloud.   The form has a page viewer control.  After updating the URL  in the page viewer (The URL links to a SharePoint list on the same site in SharePoint online), We get a message "refused to connect". (see attached screen shot).  When debugging the page, we get this error:  Refused to frame 'https://ncstage.sharepoint.com/' because an ancestor violates the following Content Security Policy directive: "frame-ancestors 'self' teams.microsoft.com *.teams.microsoft.com *.skype.com *.teams.microsoft.us local.teams.office.com *.powerapps.com *.yammer.com *.officeapps.live.com *.office.com *.stream.azure-test.net *.microsoftstream.com *.dynamics.com *.microsoft.com".and additionally a message later in the page: Uncaught DOMException: Blocked a frame with origin "https://formso365.nintex.com" from accessing a cross-origin frame Sounds like a trust issue between our 365 domain the Nintex domain, but wondering if any o

NWC - How to Sort the Option Label on a Data lookup / connection results

We have NWC form where we placed a "Data Lookup" field to bring data about Customers list.The data connection is coming from simple SharePoint list. We are mainly displaying the:- Customer Name in the "Option Label"- A calculated column of all the customer information in the "Option Value"Now, The customer Name lookup is looking to be all over the place (not sorted). it seems to be sorted by SharePoint ID.  We are going to continue to add to this list so we will never be able to maintain sorting on the SP ID!!In Nintex forms on O365 or on-premise, we were able to specify the "view" that we're pulling the information from. So I could really sort it however I want and that's what will show on my control... But there is no such option in Nintex Workflow Cloud forms...  So.... how can I sort the retrieved data from the SP connection in ascending order in NWC forms?! help!

Hi Team, I am developing workflows in NWC and we have many actions related creating list item, update item and query list etc. Each time Site URL is hardcoded under SharePoint Site URL.

Store a file in SharePoint Online with a different filename

The Store a File action only has an option to overwrite the file or not.  I don't want the file overwritten, I want the file name to change as necessary, appending a date or a number after the file etc.  The file is coming from an Upload on a NWC form and there isn't any option there to modify the file name. It seems like there should be an easy way to do this that I am missing that doesn't include trying to query the document library for all the files in it and then somehow comparing that to a file name extracted from the object.

Save Repeating Section Data to SharePoint List and Use Later in Document Generation

I have the need to use a Nintex Workflow Cloud Form and Workflow to collect data and save it to a SharePoint list.  Data will come from multiple users with multiple roles and responsibilities, over a period of days/weeks.  Each row of data in the list has a unique identifier (in addition to the List Item ID) and multiple columns of various data types.  After all the data is collected, I want to use the data stored in my SharePoint list with the Document Generation workflow action to create documents containing this list data.  Most of the data controls on my form corresponds to a SharePoint list data type (Text-Short to Single Line of Text, Text-Long to Multiple Line of Text, Number to Number, Currency to Currency, etc.).   I am able to use most of the SharePoint List fields with the document tagger.  However, I can't use the Repeating Section Data that is stored in a Multiple Lines of Text (mltxt) field in SharePoint. If I wanted to generate the document at the time I collected the da

Finding new users in NWC

I'm trying to create a workflow for new employees to read and acknowledge some company policies, preferably on their first day of employment. I have the workflow set up and everything works fine, except for one thing.The workflow is designed so that an HR employee inaugurates it, by using a People field to select the employees who need to be assigned the task. No need to describe all the details of the workflow but, as I say, it all works fine in testing when I select my own name (as if I were a new employee).But here's the problem: NWC can't find new employees using the People function. We have some new employees starting today, as I write this, and when I try to find any of them with the People field, it tells me "No content available."I've encountered this issue before when trying to assign ownership to a workflow, and it seems that the users have to log in to NWC at least once before a People field will find them. When I saw it before, I just had to ask the person to log in. But I

Is there somebody who uses Git as repo for Nintex Workflows

Are there any advantages using a repo like git for exported .nwf (Nintex Workflow Files)? Currently discussing this topic, but I can't figure out any advantages besides the central repository, for example when you have a workflow which is used in different sites. In that case .nwf files would be stored in different site collections.Is anybody using Git (or other vendors) as repository? Would like to here also your opinions about advantages for using a repo.

NWC Document approval without storing document externally

I have a start event form that requires a document that then gets sent to an approver.  I need a workflow that can go to a second approver and then possibly be rejected for a revision.  When I send the email for approval I can attach the document to the task email but I'm not seeing how to replace it when the first reviewer or submitter wants to change the document they submitted originally. I would like the reviewer task to have a copy of the document and the option to replace that document if necessary.  It doesn't seem like I can have an upload control with the original file already populated or something similar. A best practice guide for document approval and revision using just the NWC forms and tasks would be great.  Everything I have found uses Box or some external place to store the document.

Repeating Section

I am starting a workflow using a form. My form has a repeating sections (with single choice, text, currency controls) that I was able to configure.  After the user selects the submit button, the form needs to go to an approver so the action I am using is ASSIGN A TASK.   1. I noticed when building the Assign a Task FORM approval, the repeating sections are NOT available to build out the form for Form approval.  So it looks like I am forced to use express approval. 2. So I tried using the Generate Document action and build a word doc and noticed the repeating section action only is available if all the controls are text.  It does not work with the single choice controls or calculated line item amounts.   The repeating section works on the input form; but how do I render that information downstream for review and approval?  Are my options to use repeating section, text controls only? or eliminate repeating section and configure differently?   Image is attached for reference.
