How to update SharePoint View from Nintex workflow

Hi Simon,

Thanks so much for sending this valuable resource. Could you tell me specifically how to add a filter to an existing view 

For instance, I want the view to be filtered based on a criteria - Created Date is less than the notification date. I want to dynamically enter the notification date using my workflow. 

How do I use the UpdateView method to achieve that. Where exactly do I enter the notification date criteria. Thanks so much.

Hi @guru2000,

Based on the document provided, you will need to add a query XML node to the web service call.

Something like:

    <Query>
      <Where>
        <Lt>
          <FieldRef Name="CreatedDate"/>
          <Value Type="DateTime">NotificationDate</Value>
        </Lt>
      </Where>
    </Query>

A workflow reference can be used for the Notification Date in the web service call to make the workflow dynamic.

As this web service belongs to Microsoft, you may need to post on their forums for more information on its configuration.

Hi Simon,

Thanks for your continued  support. Want to confirm what I need to put into the following Web Service (input),

1. Listname (string)
2. viewName (string)
3.  

I put in the internal name for the list. For View Name, I put the View Guid as per the instructions. But I keep receiving the following error message from the Web Service,

Workflow Notification

Error = Error returned from server: soap:ServerException of type 'Microsoft.SharePoint.SoapServer.SoapServerException' was thrown.Parameter viewName is missing or invalid.0x82000001

Never mind. I resolved it. I had to capture ViewName from SharePoint Designer. That worked.
