Nintex for SharePoint

Hi all,I have created a Nintex workflow based out of SharePoint 2016 on premise calendar such that when someone books an event, the Nintex workflow will break the inheritance and assign "Everyone" to "View only" permission, the initiator to be granted with "Contribute" rights using the Set Item permissions action step. This is to allow everyone to view that the slot is taken up to prevent double booking.  I realised that "Everyone" was originally granted read at the site, however the administrator wanted to restrict access to the site and thus I have removed the "Everyone" from the site permission. This somehow caused the "Everyone" to be removed from the calendar records which rightfully should have unique permissions already set in place by the Nintex workflow. I am still puzzled why removing the "Everyone" group from the parent site will have removed them from the individual permission set at the calendar entries? I also realised that this is not only happening to "everyone" group b

Hi, I want to upload a file to SharePoint document library from Nintex start form. Here, I have two fields for passport and citizenship in Nintex form and I want to upload the file to SharePoint document library.   

I am migrating form SP2013 to 2019 and need to restart 100's of workflows across multiple site collections from a csv file. Is there something that can be scripted?

Hello, We are doing SharePoint 2013 to SharePoint 2019 migration stage wise. The site which goy migrated to SP 2019 contains Nintex workflow which query list action to get list item from another SharePoint site (currently resides in SP 2013 environment).  I am getting below error while running the workflow,The Web application at "http://siteurl" could not be found. Verify that you have typed the URL correctly. If the URL should be serving existing content, the system administrator may need to add a new request URL mapping to the intended application. Could anyone pls help if it will work or not?

I created a list whereby when an asset is received at the warehouse, it is entered into the list: part number, serial number, product line.  Currently an email is sent to the responsible product line owner upon every entry. The email contains part number, serial number, and receiving documents.  This is inundating their email.  Instead they would like to receive one email per day with all items received that day, along with the receiving documents from each asset. I am a very new Nintex user, self-taught...so my programming skills are null.  I started a workflow with a list query and made a variable for "today".  However, I'm at a loss on how I would tell it to search the product line owner for each item, and send them all of that information at once.  For example, this week 470 assets are coming in for one product line.  I want those 470 assets entered into the list individually by the warehouse receiving team...but only one email to go to the product line owner, with 470 receiving re

After monthly patching of our SP 2013 environment last weekend all of our Nintex workflows fail to start.I've applied all the recommended entries to the web.config files from previous posts about this issue, re-activated the features on a site, reset the nintex timer job, rebooted servers, verified the Farm Solutions are deployed.  Nothing works and I'm at a loss so any help would be appreciated.

Hello, What type should be and what form should the variable data in Nintex take to populate a multi-valued managed metadata field?

Hello, All: I am somewhat of a Nintex Workflow newbie.  We are currently using SharePoint 2016 (on-premises). I have a SharePoint list that contains a column called "RFC ID".  I also have a library that contains documents with the RFC ID as one of the content type metadata fields.  I need a workflow that will get the RFC ID from the list, query the document library metadata for the RFC ID and generate an email with the found document attached.  Can someone please help me construct a workflow that will accomplish this? Thanks in advance ...

Hello   I am struggling finding the right approach for my issue. I have a form with a multiselect list. I run a workflow on that form and split the multiselect value string into a collection. I want to be able to loop the collection to keep only the integer.   The result of my multiselect list as the following format : id;#text;#id;#text, because it comes from a lookup to another list. I want to loop through the collection and keep only the id as I create a new item in another list for each, and I need only the id.   So basically, I am trying to find a way to loop with an increment of 2, or to check the data type to be an integer.   Could you help? Thank you!

Hi   I am trying to build an employee onboarding workflow which kicks off months before the original start date. However the start date is subject to change (either direction) and I want certain tasks only kicked off until the updated start date. How can i achieve this with Sharepoint integration? I can update start date in sharepoint and extract the value, but by the time it is updated (especially if the date moves to an earlier date) the task is assigned already. Thanks.

I am using SharePoint 2013. While I feel like I am an advanced SharePoint end user, I am fairly new to Nintex forms and workflows. I am not sure how to explain what I need to do but I’ll try….Here is my issue: I have a form where multiple offices are required to update the column for their office. I have alerts and versioning already set up so I know who made a change and what the change was. However, now management wants to know when and who updated each columns. There are 15 offices in my organization so I set up 15 drop-down columns (one for each office). I also added a comment box for each drop-down column (one for each office) and set it to append. I told everyone to make sure to enter something into the comments box (e.g. name) so it would automatically do a time stamp and leave the current users information when the form is submitted. However, people being people, I can’t get everyone to comply with my instructions. What I would like to do is set up some sort of trigger for each

I am trying to update Nintex Forms license but my central administration is non functioning at the moment. Is it possible to update the license by using PowerShell? If so can someone supply the syntax to accomplish the same?

I have a form that multiple users edit. When two users edit the form at the same time I'm getting this error: "Save Conflict Your changes conflict with those made concurrently by another user... I did some research and it was recommended to use Check in and Check Out. Can some let me know what is the best solution? I'm thinking to possibly let the user know that a form is being edited or deny access if it's being saved. This is for Nintex OnPremise. 

Hello,How can you push text out to a text field after an approval button is clicked? I'm really new to this and would really appreciate any assistance! For example, once the approved button is clicked I would like to update the text field next to it to display "Approved by Jon Smith on 01/01/2022 at 1:00PM" 

I recently had an issue with a user deleting workflows because the designer buttons are available to users with edit permissions. I am not sure how the buttons are added to the command bar, but I can hide every button Microsoft offers. Nintex, however, does not fit into this mold. If I could move or hide the buttons using JSON and the commandBarProps would save a bunch of time with rework, that is, if the form is backed up./. That is another issue of Nintex how you can delete and poof, it is sent to a vortex, never to be seen again. and they still run as deleted associations. I do not want to get off-topic. Is there a way to hide the Nintex Workflow and Nintex Forms buttons? Note: This is not in the ribbon; this is SharePoint Online and the Command Bar.

Hello everyone, I'm completely new here and also very new in using nintex for SharePoint. I have the following challenge and try to explain it with an example.  In List A I have several coloumns (e.g. "kind of dress"; "colour of dress"; "size of dress"; etc.) --> structureIn every line I have a number (quantity) for every case in a coloumn. E.g. t-shirt; red; XS;..; 3What I need need now is a workflow that calculate the total amount (based on the quantity of every line) of every possible "composition". --> t-shirt; red; XS;..; 103It doesn't matter if this will be done in the current list or in another list. The easiest way will be prefered.  I know that I have to work with query, for each and calculation. I also know that I have to use certain variables and collection. But I tried a lot and didn't reach the target until now.  What I used so far was concatenate the items (t-shirt; red; XS) to use this as a variable but without any benefit.  Your help is much appreciated. BRMats  

Hi,I need to set up a workflow where I have List A exists with information and List B will be filled when a form is submitted. I need to match two items from list A with each submission in list B, and then update List A assigned column to yes. For example:List A has the following fields: title | choice | other y/n | assigned y/nList B has: title | choice | list A match 1 | list A match 2 Fields I need to update in List B:- list A match 1 = an item from list A where other y/n = yes- list A match 2 = an item from list A where other y/n = no- both matches must have different information in the choice field to what is in the choice field for that item in list B. The two matches can have the same or different information in the choice field, but must both be different to the list B choice field.  Once an item in List A has been matched to an item in List B, the assigned field it ticked yes and this item is no longer available to be added to list B. I'm not sure how to go about this, any gui

Hello Community, I'm struggling with the following issue:- In List A I have column "colour". This column shows all possible colours (incl. duplicates). - Now I want to transfer List A to List B (same structure) without the duplicates. e.g. List A: 4x red --> List B: 1x red        List A: 10x green --> List B: 1x green.  I already tried "collections operations" with count Item but do not come to the prefered result.  

My nintex form has a repeating section with these fields: date/time, location, comments. When viewing the form, the repeating section works fine and the data is displayed for all items; however, it does not appear on the sharepoint list.    I added a query XML for the 3 collections (date/time, location, comments); however, I do not want to create a new sharepoint item/ID for each additional item - is there a way to capture the data on the sharepoint list - even if it means concatenate the repeating section onto a new column e.g.,  date/time1, location1, comments1; date/time2, location2, comments2; etc without adding a new list item for each addition?
