What is the priority for rules / expression settings on 365 forms?

Is the priority of rules / expression settings different for different controls?I sometimes feel lost as to whether I should use the Expression setting for a control or add a fresh rule.Is there any kind of guide or set of recommendations as to which is best for what control?It would be a great help, and save me from much head-scratching when I see rules not working as planned or expected.It would be great to know which is best to use for different controls.

How many workflow instances can run at a time?

Simple as the questions states, hopefully someone can point me to some system documentation. Looking at workflow health there is only ever a max of 100 workflow instances running or completed reported, this is on a list of 500 items and I stated the workflow on every list item. So I take it only a max of 100 can be running at a time, is this a Nintex restriction or SharePoint workflow service?  for the 500 items it took about 6 hours to complete on all items. It is a rather large SM workflow, but wow this this must have a steam engine powering it along  Message was edited by: Warwick Ward - Changed to Workflow Instances rather than just workflows

Nintex Form created list item with multiple attachments. Need to move this list data to another secure list, but attachments are not coming along. What am I missing..? O365.

I have researched everything I can to figure this out. I have a Nintex form collecting claim data in our SharePoint O365 environment. Once this data is collected, a Nintex workflow is copying some of the data, including all attachments,  to another claims list on a secure sub-site (same primary site). All of the information is coming over correctly, but the attachments are not. This is from one list to another and anywhere from 1 to 8 attachments will be included in each claim. At one point I was able to get 1 of several attachments to come over, now I can't get any to move/copy over to the new list. "Copy Document" function doesn't work since I am not dealing with libraries here.I must be missing something, this can't be this difficult. Any ideas please?

Assign Task {Current Item:Title} shows trailing token in email title

Hi During testing, one of my users has noticed that emails seem to have an token suffix in the title (subject line). Is this required for Lazy Approval or some other system requirement?   Other than removing  {Current Item:Title} from the title is there anything we can do about this that won't impact the functionality of the workflow? Daniel

How to display link on form?

Hi, I've currently got one workflow that triggers the user to complete a second form and submit it. I'm trying to show a link to the first form on the second, but I can't seem to get it to work. In the workflow on the first form, I use the build string action to create a URL with the text 'View Form' and set that to a Request URL field on the second. The step I'm having trouble with is then displaying this link on the second form so that it doesn't show the URL, but uses the display text 'View Request', and is active in display mode. I've tried having the workflow set the variable to URL field type, and to a Rich Text field type. The second allows the link to be active, but shows the URL rather than the text. Is there some way I can accomplish this? Also, is there some way I can accomplish this and have the link open in a new tab/window? Any suggestions greatly appreciated.Katherine

Nintex Form is not loading embedded js. Trying to print label directly using javascript.

Hi all, I have found some javascript that can be used to print directly to a DYMO labelwriter but I can't get it to work properly in a Nintex form.The form is a basic list of two items to prove the point of printing directly and using the js script.When I publish the form I get a message "The app Nintex Forms for Office 365 is out of date. Please update the app." (see attachment). I know that this is down to the script as I've come across this before but I wondered if anyone could help me fix this? The script requires the inclusion of a src tag which I think might be the issue (see attachment) Thanks in advance.Paul

Can you trigger a workflow off an email?

Hi, We are using Nintex and SharePoint to build our IT helpdesk ticketing system, and I was wondering if there was a way for a user to send an email (rather than completing a form) to create an item in a list and trigger the workflow? Any help or suggestions are appreciated. Katherine

Using Nintex for O365, can you identify if someone you are about to email is an active member of staff (i.e. set up on the system).

I have their email address. I tried to use "Query User Profile" hoping that a null result for a particular property (e.g. Name) would indicate that the user no longer exists. But instead the workflow enters a suspended date as it can not find anyone by that email. Is there any way to catch that exception?

Looping workflow hits "outbound http request quota for a 1.00:00:00 period" problem

Hello! I have a lengthy For-Each based workflow that loops over web based InfoPath forms in a library, and calculates how old they are, so that email reminders can be sent as appropriate. This is to remind people they have forms that they have created, but have not yet finalised. The action of the workflow is to send a reminder X days after the form has been created, every Y days thereafter, and then finally delete it after Z days. X, Y and Z are parameters that I look up, as they are different for each form template. I have attached a screenshot (sorry for size..!) Logically, I think I now have a workflow that is correct, but I hit the following error which suspends the workflow: Details: The instance has exceeded the outbound http request quota for a 1.00:00:00 time period. The 5000 request limit was reached in 08:13:55.3271487. In a particular library I have over 400 forms that need to be processed every day. I am aware that as I am working within the O365 and SharePoint Online envi

Web Request Action Error – Office 365 (using Google API)

I am attempting to use Google's API through an O365 Web Request to do some geocode translation. I've been able to reproduce a similar implementation using Nintex Workflows for SharePoint 2013 (on-prem) but am having trouble with O365. This is the error my Web Request action is producing:"Some parameters failed the validation check. - [InputFileContent] : The parameter or the parameter value is null. If you take a look at the below URL, it returns the XML data I'm needing so I'm not sure why doing so within the context of Nintex is giving me so much trouble and am hoping it's something minor I'm missing. Any ideas?https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/xml?latlng=34.7553595,-86.6945471&key=AIzaSyC2XrDaswnI72kZrzfTpU0IalfUnmqGS…   Vadim Tabakman​ Brad Orluk​

Provisioning new tasks list AND assigning workflows to them

Hello all,I've got a Projects list where each project has an associated task list.Every time a project is created, a Nintex list workflow runs and provisions a new task list to be associated with that project. A task list also has a column that details assignees to complete that task.I need a separate workflow, tied to each task list, that will email assignees whenever they've been assigned to a task.Normally, this wouldn't be a problem as it's as simple as creating a list workflow to handle the email notifications. The problem is that our tasks lists are being generated dynamically via another workflow, and we want to automate reusing task notification workflows. At first I thought I could just associate a notification workflow with the content type of 'Task,' and that normally is done by creating a reusable workflow snippet/template (as detailed in the correct answer of this post) but learned that it wasn't possible in Nintex Workflows for Office 365 in this post. Has anyone encounte

Office 365 Create Site - Custom Site Template

Using the Office 365 Create Site action in Nintex workflows, one of the parameters that needs to be setup is the Site Template. This workflow works with the Team Site Template just fine, but when I select Custom Template and try to point to one of the templates in my Solutions Gallery, I get an error that it does not exist. I have tried variations on the name with and without the file extension, the friendly name that shows up in Create new site and even trying some variations with the GUID for the Template, but all get the same error. Any ideas how to implement a Custom Site Template? Anyone else had any success using this? Full Error: The requested site template 'DeptProjectSite4.wsp' for the selected language (LCID) '1033' does not exist. Thanks for any advice!

Calculated value to validate multiple check boxes(All check boxes checked, Status = Complete)?

I have a panel in a Nintex form that has multiple check boxes for tasks, like this:[ ]Task 1[ ]Task 2[ ]Task 3 I want to have a calculate value field("Status") above this panel that validates whether all check boxes have been checked.  If all are checked, Status = "Complete".  If any are unchecked, Status = "In Progress".  I've done similar things in InfoPath, by setting the value to each check box to 1, then adding them together.  If sum = 3, Status = "Complete", if < 3, Status = "In Progress", but is there a better way to do this in Nintex Forms?  Perhaps if Task 1, Task 2, and Task 3 are all true, Status= "Complete", else Status = "In Progress"?  I'll end up having 12 different panels/sections with 6 tasks each that need to all roll up to the Status field, so I'm trying to make this as simple as possible. I'm brand new to Nintex Forms, so any help would be greatly appreciated.  Also, I'm using the O365 version of Nintex Forms, if that makes a difference.
