Panels and Fields Covering Each Other

Hey all, I've finally put in a lot of hours into making a complex form work where if you choose an option (out of five options), it will hide some fields and reveal others. Since there is a lot of overlap of fields for each options, I had to create panels within panels.The way the form currently works, if I start with the default and then choose the right version of the form I want, it looks great (except for two fields and their corresponding labels) and shows what I want it to show and hide what I want it to hide.  When I select a different version of the form three times in the same viewing, one after the other, fields start getting out of line and cover each other as shown below.    If I go from the default choice to any other choice, the form looks good. Another issue (as listed above) is that I can make it work, but any time I put a rule on the field and try to hide it from a view, it causes fields in a way similar to what's shown above to happen on a bigger scale. As long as I d

Configure Nintex Workflow 2019 to use Microsoft365 for SMTP

We used to have a local SMTP relay set up that sent all email through microsoft SMTP.  We configured Nintex to use this local relay.  There were some changes to the authentication on the Microsoft side so email notifications stopped.   Does anyone have Nintex Workflow for SharePoint (2019) configured to use Microsoft365 as the SMTP server?  If so, what settings are you using.  The account that we use to send email has an M365 account.

How to prevent save "Nintex form" conflict where multiple approvers access the same form?

Hi all, I have this Nintex workflow (on SharePoint 2016 on premise) where the system will auto route the Nintex form to 8 different reviewers concurrently via email to edit their comments into a Nintex form with 8 different sections (1 section for each of the reviewers). The issue is that when someone is editing the form, the rest will have a save conflict on the same form. Is there any way to have concurrent updates on the same Nintex form or to prevent save conflict on a list?

Nintex Rule Formula with 2 conditions

Hello,  I have a form in which I first need to select a content type. There are 2 options: "Discretionary" and "Controlled". Now, when the content type equals "Controlled", there is another field called "Record Type" that is mandatory. Therefore, I need to create a rule so that when "content type" is "controlled" AND "Record type" is Empty, the user gets a validation message saying "mandatory field" I managed to get the rule for "Record Type" being empty but I'm not sure how to add the AND and the other condition and get it to work. See attached

Email notification whenever field changes - not only when it happens first

Hello Nintex-Community, I have some basic experience with Nintex-Workflow but I cannot find a solution for my problem even if it seems to be a pretty simple one:  I have a list with column "lock state" and it is a option field that says "true" when blocked or "false" when not blocked. I want a worflow that send an email to a group of person any time the "lock state" changes in the one or the other option. I assume I will need a ribbon function, but I am not sure how to use it. Can anybody help, please?

Nintex Site Workflow - URL Issue

I’ve created site workflow which is running on top level site and going through all Announcements list on sub-sites level to retrieve value/content from Body column (which is Multiple lines of column type with Enhanced rich text option) and sending Body column value in send email workflow action. Issue: Somehow Site workflow send email activity is changing absolute URL to a relative URL for Announcements body text, so when I received email with hyperlink it has relative URL which is broken URL without SharePoint site name.e.g. Email has /sites/subsitename/listname/documentname URL instead of http://webappURL/sites/subsitename/listname/documentname. Interesting thing is, if I create and run workflow on list level and use send email activity to retrieve value/content from Announcements Body column – everything works fine, I’m getting absolute URL from list workflow but site workflow is not appending web application URL to all the links inside value. I saw someone also has similar issue l

Adding a button or a shape with a link

Hi everyone, I'm very new to Nintex and first time posting here. I have created a few Nintex forms for data capturing purpose, and I need to add a button or a shape (to make it look like a button) with a link URL somewhere on the form. The link will take the users to the dashboard. I managed to create a link using the 'label' but the client wasn't happy as currently my link is just in text. They want it to look like a button and have the link embedded in it. How can I do this? Is there a way to embed a link to the button? Thank you

Repeating Section push data to new rows

We are on SharePoint 2013 OnPrem. We have a user asking if it's possible for a Nintex Form to have a repeating section, which each repeating section would insert into a new list row. For example, if they fill out a Nintex form and have 3 repeating sections, 3 new rows get created in this list. Is this possible?

Flexi Task - outcome is sometimes blank

I have a Nintex approval workflow in SP 2016. I am using a Flexi task within an approval workflow, It has 3 outcomes, 1. Approve2. Reject3. Rework I am storing them in an outcome variable called txtOutcome. It is "All must respond."  However, when I try to reject or rework, the txtoutcome variable shows a blank or a null value. Not sure why. I do select Reject and rework. There are times it shows value. Acts randomly. Any idea.  Thanks Mayank

Check if user already exist in a list for a date

I have a nintex form with 3 fields (Date, Classroom, Name) that save to an exam list. (Classroom and Name are select fields with values coming from another list). Using this form, a teacher can register one of his student to an exam for a chosen date. But another teacher should not be able to register the same student for the same date, but only for another date. How can I proceed to check and alert a teacher that his student is already registered by another teacher for the selected date?

Restart a workflow from a previous step

I have an approval Nintex workflow in SP 2016. Workflow goes thru 4 steps. I want a functionality that allows the user to repeat the previous step. For instance, at step 3, the user can click on a button that will have the workflow repeat step #2.    How can this be accomplished. Currently, I am NOT using State Machine and putting State Machine logic will require me to re-design the workflow. Is there a way to avoid using State Machines.   Mayank

Forms and Parent Content Types

Hi. I have a list with 50+ content types, all inheriting from a single parent.  All content types have a custom Nintex form.  The issue I am running into is, if I need to add a column to the parent content type, the update process also pushes the form for that content type to all of the children.  Is there a way to prevent this?   Thank you in advance.

Panel to only show when the date selected for 'date required' is less than 5 days from current date

I would like a panel to become visible with a multi-line text box to justify why the date required selected is less than 5 days from the current date. I would also like it to be impossible for the user to select a date in the past.  I have attached what I have tried, which unfortunately did not work for me.
