Experience Nintex at ESPC24
FORUM POSTS AND DISCUSSIONS
Greetings friends,I am looking for suggestions on the best way to accomplish a task.1. We are using the Document Generation action to generate up to 11 different templates.2. All the docs that get generated will need to save to the same directory with unique names When using a single Doc Gen action to set up multiple templates (separate PDFs), I only see one output file option. I don't know how to set it to dynamically name each generated document uniquely. Would it make sense to use 11 Doc Gen actions for each template? Any help is greatly appreciated. I'm sure this is an easy problem to solve for those more experienced.
Hi i have a nintex form setup with a data source to a sharepoint online list. The lookup works perfectly but i want to be able to prefill other form fields with data captured during this lookup. I can get it to filter the query depending on that initial field selection, but this then requires the form user to hit the drop down box to select the only option. Is there anyway to prefill this field without the user needing to select an option?
Hey everybody, this is my first post - I hope I get everything right. My challenge: I have a SharePoint Online SiteCollection with a library where I want to Upload a file and let the user define some (managed) metadata for it. In the first days of Nintex for Office365 I had a similar challenge and ended up with a list where I enter the file as an attachment - and then let the workflow transfer it with some metadata into the document library. Now after a lot of time I want to accomplish this scenario - form upload to sharepoint online - via the Nintex Workflow Cloud. After some research I'm a little afraid I have to do it with the same workaround again? I need a trigger beside the new/edit of the document library. The public form URL as the start point sounded like the perfect solution. But there I have no connection to my sharepoint metadata or an "easy" way to drop it in the library. If I chose the SharePoint Online starting point, I have only the new or edit events for the workflow,
I have noticed that randomly some form-based workflows do not include the "Code to embed form" field when they are published. Indeed, I think I have seen this field appear later for some forms.Is there a way to control this? Why not always include the embed code? I have a new form I need to embed and there is no embed code.
Hello,I'm looking to send an email 2x per year on Jan 15th and July 15th, following a reminder email 15 days after if the task is not completed. This workflow will repeat each year on those dates.I don't know what logic to us first. Can someone please advise what I should use or do?

Hi, How to limit number of characters in multi line text field in NWC form? Thanks, Devendra
HiI have a sharepoint 365 list with a lookup column. I want to create a list item from data captured in a NWC form. Both the NWC form field and the 365 column, lookup to the same list. When i go to create an item with the data captured in the NWC form, the field for the lookup column in the o365 list is expecting an integer. I've tried finding the ID of the lookup with no success. Not exactly sure how to get the data captured in the NWC lookup field into the o365 list lookup field. Any suggestions?
In the new My Nintex I'm getting an issue with 'File downloads are disabled - Administrators can enable file downloads.'. I have an NWC start form with attachments.I then assign a task.In the new My Nintex when I view the assigned task, then on the right I click on the start form, then try to view the attachment on the start form I get the above message. I can't find anywhere in the NWC admin settings to turn on file downloads. Any ideas?
I need to parse a string in a workflow. Basically, I need to get a substring out of it by position, just like Substring function does. Since I cannot use functions in the workflow, I am trying to use the Regular Expression action instead. Still, I have been struggling to get the correct pattern. Can someone recommend a regex pattern that would substitute a substring function? Say to get a part of string from 5th to the 10th position. Thank you.
I have a workflow where I added a Get Tasks action on a parallel path with Assign Task action. The Get Task action stores the results in an Object data type. I can access Object.Tasks, but I cannot figure out how to get individual properties of each task. If I use Get Item from Collection action, that stores the results in a Text type, so then I cannot get to individual properties. I need to know how to access the ID, Name etc properties of each task. Regards.
Hi, In my projects I need to auto-populate my Start Event form with data. The only two ways that I know so far it is possible is: first by using getQueryStringParameter function, and second by using a Data Lookup control. With the second method I can load my drop down list from a SharePoint, and also filter the response with a local variable. I was hoping that there was a way of doing similarly from SQL Server. Is it possible to achieve? Regards.
Hello All,We have a pretty large NWC form, which uses page sections. The client would like to have an additional button (For Save) that navigates to the last section, which has the "submit" button.Thanks in advance. -Bradley
I am looking to see if anyone is familiar with the servicenow actions in NWC. I have a connection working and am trying to update a record in one of the tables. There is an option to modify some fields but when I try to do that, the fields are 'forbidden'. I can't find anything in docs or in the community about it to I thought I would ask directly if anyone knows what that means/any meaningful info about the servicenow actions. I have tried with a few System IDs, one that I am trying to work with and a few that I know exist from a query records action. When I try to run the workflow(normally or testing), it fails on the update action with a JSON parse error.
I have a component workflow in NWC that I am calling from a custom web app via Web APIs. Part of this request involves uploading files to NWC, which returns a blob URL from Nintex (then that URL is passed to the component workflow and used as an email attachment). All of this works as expected, I just want to know how long the blob URL can be used before it expires.
I am currently working on a process on NWC, prior to this moment I have been working on K2. I want to know if the NWC has an Approval page like that of K2.
Hi All, Just checking if there's any way to get start and end date of the week based on the current date on Nintex forms. Any suggestions or ideas are welcomed. TIA
