Nintex for SharePoint

Hello! Is is possible to export a workflow I created in Nintex workflow for O365 to Nintex Cloud? If so, how do you even begin? Can someone provide steps? I am not able to find anything with instructions on how to do so… thanks in advance!!

I have a Main list having a column called “A”, with a workflow. I have another child list, with a workflow. When I create an item in main list, multiple items will be created in the child list. For example, Main List item has one item with ID 7, child list has 5 items with Parent ID as 7. I have a scenario, where the child workflow will query the column A of the main list and update it with a value, as and when the workflow reaches to that update action, it gets the value of column A and appends it with the value. But as I have multiple child items, its overriding the values updated by the another workflow. Is there any way to prevent this.

Sharepoint 2016 on premis (not online) I have a multi person allowed field in the list.  What i’m trying to do is parse out each person, by account name, to first and last name and place them into a multiline text box.  Seems like it should be easy, but i keep pulling errors.The first thing i do is use a collection operation > add > to place each value into a collection variable.  I then for each loop through the collection and place each value into a person variable.  Then I use a query user profile with that person variable to populate two text variables (first, last).  after that I try to concatenate a multiline text variable with each instance of the first,last.  It’s crashing on the first step and i’m getting a partial error string in the log that indicates the person field is carrying a lot more than just the account.Has anyone done this successfully? Thanks!

I see this message on the Central Admin of our on-prem farm. Workflow data maintenance required to avoid workflow performance degradation.Nintex Content DBs impacted:NintexWorkflow2013DBWorkflowProgress table has reached 84% of the threshold (8383188/10000000) Instructions on the link provided are unclear to me.Thanks for any help.

The issue I am facing is, the value of people picker is not getting saved into the list. Any suggestions on why this is happening?

When using the create a sql record for Microsoft SQL Server On-Premises one of my tables will not populate the “Add Fields” field. It sees the table and all of the other tables using the Nintex Gateway. For some reason this particular table does not retrieve the columns. Scratching my head as perms are the same, everything is the same.

Hello - I'm working on Nintex classic form where I need to check if the user has entered a time outside of a certain range. I have 2 fields  Arrival Time and Department Time with Date/Time control (See picture below). I would like to create a validation rule that prevents a user selects the arrival time before 7AM or can’t select the department time after 7PM on the form.

Hello, I am planning to create a list workflow using Nintex that automatically sends an email notification to the responsible employee when a file needs to be updated in the document library. For this purpose, I will use the two existing columns "Responsible" with the employee's name and "Update on" with the corresponding date. Since I have no prior experience in creating workflows, I need your assistance. Can you please tell me the best approach to take?Thank you in advance for your assistance.Best regards, Fatih

I have a list that I am building out a workflow for, I am a bit rusty since its been 3 years since I have built a workflow. I want to send an email notification to someone that is requesting a tracking number. I have the field already in my list and need it to be extremely simple where the recipient can reply to the email with the tracking number and it updates the list item. Is this possible and if so is there a step by step tutorial anywhere I have scoured the internet and cannot find what I need.

Looks like 3yrs ago, this was not possible. Hoping the newest Nintex Responsive Designer is capable…I have 2 dropdown fields: “Type” and “Plan.”  Based on my selection in “Type,” I should only be able to select between 5 of the 10 “Plan” options. I can’t use lookup lists because there is an added wrinkle… if my “Type” is a certain value AND the value in a separate “Filed” field is Yes, only 3 of the 10 “Plan” options are available. But if the “Filed” field is No, the other 7 options become available.   Ideally, this would be a simple Rule:If Type equals “Test” Then Plan values “A, B, C, D, E, F” (that option doesn’t exist, but is there some formula I can insert that would conditionally remove/disable particular dropdown options?) And for the other example and why I can’t use a lookup list…If Type equals “Test 2” AND Filed equals “Yes”Then Plan values “A, B or C” I can easily create a validation rule for this. But I would like to proactively prevent the User from selecting an option tha

In SharePoint On-Premise 2016, I have two columns. One column is "Agreement Status". The other column is "Date of First Draft". "Agreement Status" is a Choice column. "Date of First Draft" is a Date and Time column. From the drop down menu, if I select "Draft Started" from "Agreement Status" column, how do I get the date of the Choice selection to populate in the "Date of First Draft" column? 

Hi, I have a nintex form that uses custom javascript to get values from a repeating section collection, adds them up, then places the value in a single line text field.  Everything works as needed until I need to read that updated single line text field that gets changed by my javascript.Here are some details of how I update the single line text box: I name the Client ID JavaScript variable name as ‘totalDuration’ like so Then in my custom javascript I update the textbox like this: var showDiff = NWF$('#'+totalDuration); showDiff.val(totalDiff);This successfully updates the textbox.  The problem is when I refer to the text box by its name “txt_totalDuration” in a rule, a variable, or calculated field, it is not able to read the updated value.  Does anyone have an idea how I can fix this?  The line of js that updates the value is in a async function.  I have also tried updating a calculated field instead of a textbox and that does not work. This is in Nintex Forms for Sharepoint 201

My workflow fails randomly, after an update action. Gives error “failed to update one or more column nintex workflow error”. I have added commit pending changes, but not helping. So through one article got a solution to add a pause.I added a pause of 0.2 minutes.Is it 12 seconds, I feel like it takes more than 12 seconds.Also adding pause after every update delays the workflow too much.This resolves the issue, but why exactly is this issue happening. Is there any other solution(I am using 2016 On-Prem version).

Hi Folks,Can anyone tell me if it is possible to modify the task form on a To-Do task? I do not use them often and while helping some colleagues (@bickela and @lowecm) with a workflow and just noticed for the first time that there is no “Edit Task Form” button in the ribbon of the to-do task like there is in the flexi-task. Is there a way to access the task form interface for other types of tasks?Thanks and Regards,Patrick

Hello,I migrated our onPrem 2013 to onPrem 2016, using Nintex Workflow (not Live though), and did everythng to get InfoPath 2013 forms running. When I load the form I get a datasource error, but naturally Microsoft doesn’t name it. The form still loads but the data-filled DropDown controls that work in Dev don’t work on the SP2016 server. i can’t track it down and there’s nothing in the Event Logs on the server. But whjen looking at the Event Logs, I saw this error that has many instances over the last few days. It looks like it’s something for NW Live, which we are not using. Any idea how to fix this? Thanks in advance! Load control template file /_controltemplates/15/NWLOnlineComponents.ascx failed: The expression prefix 'NWLResources' was not recognized.  Please correct the prefix or register the prefix in the <expressionBuilders> section of configuration.

Hello!Ok, where do I begin... So! I have been racking my brain for days now in trying to figure out how to grey out a field based on another field.I have a “request date” field that auto populates when a form opens up. I need to grey out the “Due Date for law review” field if the date that is entered in is less than 14 days from the request date….I cannot for the life of me find out how to do this and have not been successful in researching on google as everyone’s situation is different.Your help and examples are greatly appreciated!Thanks! 

Hello Everyone, Recently I was tasked with creating a form that has both "Save and Submit" and "Save" buttons. The "save" button is to be used to save the form without causing validation. When "save and submit" is selected it will cause validation and push the document to another workflow. As most of you know this is not an out of the box feature, when doing some digging I found a solution to this issue. The solution I found to get around the validation issue on "Save" was to add a {return true} in the button's client click section. When perusing the inspect element window I came across the "Save" button's OOTB onclick function.   "if (!NWF.FormFiller.Functions.ProcessFormsValidation(this, 'NfValidationGroupctl00PlaceHolderMainformFiller', function () { })) { return false; };WebForm_DoPostBackWithOptions(new WebForm_PostBackOptions("ctl00$PlaceHolderMain$formFiller$FormView$ctl102$3f616cae_5351_4996_be4f_f42e7b224857", "", true, "NfValidationGroupctl00PlaceHolderMainformFiller", "", fa

I am trying to make changes to a nintex for sharepoint form but after saving and publishing the form the changes are not showing in sharepoint. I’ve checked for rules, ive tried putting changes in different parts of the form but i can’t find any reason why this is not working for me??

I'm preparing for migration of an SharePoint list from on-premises to SharePoint 365.  The list currently has a multiline text field with "append changes to existing text" selected, which captures notes from multiple users, and shows the user, timestamp, and note history for each item. Post migration, only the notes added with the latest update are visible in the form.  If the latest update didn't include a note in this field, then no notes are visible. In searching this forum, I see several threads discussing complex workarounds, after saying that there's no out-of-the box solution.  I'm confused by this since the current on-premises Nintex form is working correctly and has this functionality. If I were designing a new list, I would avoid using this functionality, but I'm migrating an existing list and need to retain existing notes, users, timestamps. Does Nintex plan to put this functionality back in an upcoming version?  If not, what's a reasonable workaround for retaining existing

Hello,I am developing a process / workflow where resources listed in List A are reduced by an amount listed on List B. The form for List B needs to show the number from a column within List A. The user then selects or inputs an amount less than that number and submits. The form starts the workflow which when approved reduces the amount defined on the List B form from List A.  Please help me, if there are questions, let me know.  (SharePoint 2013, Nintex 2013 on-prem)

Hi,Whenever I try to create a work flow, that has a send notification in it i get the error below, but if the workflow does not contain send notification i can publish it without any issues.  error I get when publishing with a send notification: soap:ServerServer was unable to process request. ---> Failed to publish workflow: <Error><CompilerError Line="-1" Column="-1" Text="Type System.Workflow.ComponentModel.Serialization.ArrayExtension is not marked as authorized in the application configuration file." /></Error>

I am using the “Convert URL or HTML to PDF” workflow action in a list, in conjunction with Muhimbi PDF Converter for SharePoint to batch print list items (Nintex Forms).  When I run the workflow, it converts the page to a .pdf as expected, however it also prints the SharePoint Toolbar.  I do have a “Print to PDF” button on the Nintex form using JavaScript, and if I use that, it prints perfectly, without the Toolbar.  However, in order to use the Print to PDF button, I have to open each form individually and click the “Print to PDF” button.  I have hundreds of lists items (Nintex Forms) that I would like to print.  Is there a way to configure the Convert URL or HTML to PDF workflow action to accomplish this?  Or is there a way to programmatically use the “Print to PDF” function for multiple list items without having to open each list item?   

Hi, I am building a form where it replaces an existing text with a new custom text.The original existing text would be shown on a drop down list and the idea is to let the user select the original value and has the original value shown on another editable field for them to modify.below is the UI So let’s say on ‘OriginalValue_headers` drop down field user selected “ABC”, I want ‘Replace text to’ field to be auto populated with “ABC” upon user selecting it on the drop down. And if User change the value selected on the drop down, value on ‘Replace text to’ field would agan be replaced by the selected value. How do I achieve this? I tried to use the default value feature but doesnt seem to have any suitable selection for this.. Thank you
