I have some People type variables that I no longer need in my Workflow. It won’t let me delete them because it says they are used in the Workflow Initiation. I did have default values for the variables so thought that was the problem. I removed the defaults, but still can’t delete the variables. I guess they’re not really hurting anything being there, but they are not needed. Any ideas how to delete them?
I am using SharePoint 2016 on premise workflow. Currently, the workflow errors out if a user is no longer in the Active Directory. This happens when a notification is sent out. I am thinking of using an Query LDAP to check to see if the user is a valid user. Need help with the configuration. Any links or examples would help. Thanks. Mayank
I have been writing Nintex forms and workflows for some time but I still cannot figure out how to put data into a repeating section on a Nintex form and then use that data in a Nintex workflow. I am using SharePoint on premises and Nintex 2016. I have a form I wrote for HR to assign trainers to new employees. I put a repeating section on the form so that the user can enter training course, trainer, date due, completion date, and the amount of time spent training. In the workflow I need to send a flexi-task notification to the trainers in the repeating section that the new hire needs to be trained. How do I assign the people in the repeating section to the flexi task? And then have the trainers respond to the task that the training was complete and update the form?
I wonder if someone could walk me through building a Nintex Workflow (SP 2016) that sends a notification to all parties (easy part) every 2 weeks if the Status = Pending. I don't want to use Flexi Task. Thank you!
Hello,When you add a column to a list, that column automatically shows on the default task form (flexi task action) unless you use a custom form which is something I don't want.My question: is there a way to prevent columns from showing in the default form? For background I have a repeating section in my form that shows as XML in the sharepoint column associated to the form that I transform into HTML and then add the string to another column.So currently both columns show in the task form and I only want the second one to show.Thanks
Hi, Happy early holidays! Working on creating this Nintex Workflow for Sharepoint. Just had a question if this is feasible or not:Essentially, I have a list that is primarily grouped by year, then name. I want to query the list, and sum items attached to a particular name only for a certain year. Is there a specific filter I could use to ensure that it only sums items under a certain year? SharePoint Calculated Formula for “Year” for Group: This is the list, essentially, it’s grouped by year, and then I want to take the red circled numbers and sum them into another column. I tried using Sharepoint’s “totals,” however, I just want it to be individual-specific, and I don’t want the grand sum (ex: 16 in this case) to appear, thus the desire to create a workflow.These are my query list filters. I tested the substring value and it does result in 2022. However, I’m wondering if it’s data type issue, i.e. year = calculated value vs. substring = ??? datatype.Thank you guys for any tips!
In SharePoint 2016 on premise I have a workflow that fails if the user has left the firm i.e. no longer in Active Directory. The workflow errors out when a notification is sent to the user.I want to stop the notification if the user is not a valid one. What is the best way to check. Thanks in advance. Mayank
What controls the list of fields that are displayed in the dropdown list for setting the conditional start criteria?The workflow is a site collection reusable workflow associated with a Content Type. I assume that child Content Types will automatically be associated also? I have tried to attach the built-in field Version as an associated site column to the workflow. That did not include the field in the dropdown list. Then I included the field in the Content Type, which did include the field in the dropdown list. However, this have some other side effects , such a showing the field in the side panel on the list, which I do not wish. Basically what I am trying the achieve is to trigger only for a specific file type, for instance PDF and only on major versions. So other suggestions to achieve this is also welcome.
HelloWe are planning a few workflows using UDA’s and utilizing the Web Request action to retrieve and update managed metadata fields on SharePoint lists via the SharePoint REST API. What is the recommended way to handle credentials? If using a user/password is the recommended way, then is there a way to support credentials management when exporting/importing workflows via PowerShell scripts on multiple site collections? This is for managing deployment for the TEST, QA and PROD environments.I have managed to create a script that can replace username/password using XSLT, but this only works for nwf files not UDA files, since these are not plain xml files. So how do I unpack/repack these?Thanks,Lars Kohsel

I am using 2013/2016 and need to set up a workflow in SharePoint that sends an email 30 days before due date and 15 days before the due date if the status is not completed before the due date. I have looked at several answers in the but was not able to figure out how to configure the Run if, Pause until, and Action set. Below is what I was trying to follow.I thought I knew where to start but I'm confused.
Unable to publish Nintex form to Nintex live the Live settings is missing.
I am working on a new responsive form in Nintex Forms for Office 365. I have a Choice control that previously had 2 options, A and B. I want to add option C and remove A, but if I remove A in the control settings, it will not display properly when the user opens old items that already selected A. When users open an old item, I want it to display that A is selected. When a user opens a new item, I want it to display B and C as options, or perhaps also display A but not allow the user to select it. Any ideas how to do this?
I have 5 Choice fields on my form with Yes/No values. I need to generate a score using a Calculated Value field based on what is selected in those Choice fields. The Yes/No values equal numbers so depending on which ones are selected determines the score. There are 4 possible scores and I can do the calculated values in 4 separate fields using these IF statements below. Is it possible to combine these into one Calculated Value field? Or many there is a better way to do this? if(RAIHC_ADL=='No' && RAIHCStairs=='No' && RAIHCSelfReliance=='Self-Reliant' && RAIHCSupervision=='No', 2,3) if(RAIHC_ADL=='Yes' && RAIHCStairs=='No' && RAIHCSelfReliance=='Self-Reliant', 2,3) if(RAIHC_ADL=='Yes' && RAIHCStairs=='Yes' && RAIHCPhysicalAssistance=='Yes', 5,4) if(RAIHC_ADL=='No' && RAIHCStairs=='Yes' && RAIHCPhysicalAssistance=='Yes', 5,4) I tried using this but it doesn’t
Hi Folks,I am wondering if anyone knows of a way to access the Print to PDF feature programmatically? Ideally, here is what I want to do.I have a form that will be filled out iteratively over time as data comes in. Once the content manager is done with it (usually about a day of work), he will click a button and the form will be "printed to PDF", the PDF will be named using some form data, and the PDF will be saved into a library on the same site where I will have a workflow that will attach the file to an email sending it to a distribution list that includes our customer, some of whom do not have access to our SharePoint site.Based on some things I have recently learned from @MegaJerk in responses to previous posts, I suspect that this should most elegantly be accomplished by using JavaScript in the Client Click formula of a button control on the form. While I am starting to get more familiar with both JS and how to apply it to Nintex projects, I do not know where to start here or eve

I'm preparing for migration of an SharePoint list from on-premises to SharePoint 365. The list includes a Nintex form with a repeating section. The repeating section includes a Person column.In a test migration, the internal format of the person field changes (which makes sense since it's switching from the intranet to Microsoft's servers). The IDs are update to any standalone Person fields in the list, but not the Person column within the repeating section, which from SharePoint's perspective is just a long text field that happens to hold XML data.When attempting to view any migrated list item that includes a person in the repeating section, the form fails to load and gives the error message: Index was outside the bounds of the array.If the problem persists, contact your support team with the following information: Followed by Correlation ID, Tenant ID, and timestamp. This error doesn't happen with newly-created People in the repeating section, since they are created with the new
Hello all, I am working on an On-Premise version of SharePoint 2019 with Nintex and have a form built for Quality Management (ISO9000 style) work. I had a request come in to have an email generated if the form is not updated within X period of time. I tried using some cheat sheet formulas I have for Nintex workflows but nothing generated the email after the time frame was exceeded. the concept of the flow would be: if date modified > 7 days send notification to name in field Aif date modified > 30 days send notification to name in field A and B any help would be greatly appreciated as i am very much self taught on Nintex.

Hi Team,We have SP 2019 Farm , we have developed farm based solution for adding custom ribbon buttons in New and Edit forms of Lists.It is working in normal lists , but its those ribbon buttons are not displayed in Lists where Nintex forms are published.Tried changing the location in the elements.xml file but not able to add custom ribbon buttons in New & Edit Forms. Can someone guide me how to add custom ribbons which is already deployed in the farm for New & Edit Forms in List with Nintex forms. Note: reference from the elements.xml which is working in EditForm<CustomAction Id="65CE.customribbon" RegistrationType="List" RegistrationId="100" Location="CommandUI.Ribbon.EditForm" Title="Custom Ribbon"><CommandUIExtension><CommandUIDefinitions><CommandUIDefinition Location="Ribbon.ListForm.Edit.Actions.Controls._children"> Thanks,Siva
I am trying to import a production workflow export (.nwf file) over top of a test environment version. I opened the test workflow in edit mode and clicked the ribbon icon to import. I selected the export from production. It shows an empty workflow - nothing between the start and stop nodes in the IDE. I found a previous topic for this, but the answer marked as a solution was basically akin to waiting for magic to happen. I refuse to accept that as an answer. My .nwf backup file is a mere 94 KB in size. I performed the export and import twice, with the same results both times. Any ideas?
Hello,we have a custom list where every month the users have to input their current odometer readings for their electric cars. To make this as comfortable as possible for the users, we send them a request data task. All this happens via a scheduled site workflow which runs every month. This workflow and also the list exist for a long time. However, since yesterday some of the workflow instances fail after the user commits the input. How does the workflow work:The workflow starts every month and sends each driver their personal task. To make this happen the workflow queries every driver and in a for-each loop a task will be sent (the task uses a custom content type with a number input). Then the column "WF running" will be set to yes and the workflow starts itself again - so this is kind of a recursive way. After all that is finished, around 130 instances are running. How does the error look:After the users input their new odometer readings and finish the task, some of the workflows fai
