Here's my problem, and I am sure others have come across this. I have a drop with 2 choices, A and BI have a panel containing multiple required fields.This panel should be hidden and all fields disabled when the drop is set to B.Using rules allows me to hide the panel and fields but the disable option does not take effect. I have tried custom validation using these steps http://blog.qumsieh.ca/2013/01/14/nintex-forms-basi-validation/comment-page-1/#comment-281416 but havn't worked out how to disable the validation if the panel is hidden.I've scoured google but don't have a clear step by step. Please can someone assist or provide a link to steps that work? ThanksJon
Are there any tutorials/Links for absolute beginners when it comes to writing your LDAP queries in the Query LDAP Action? I am attempting to retrieve the organization that a User belongs to from Active Directory, and canont even retrieve my own user name without receiving the "No Results Returned" message. (&(displayName= John Doe))(&(displayName= Doe John)) And I'm seeing many posts in the community from many participants needing assistance with their queries, some which I have tried as examples in my own workflow, and I'm still not pulling back results. Are there any resources availabe that would walk me through the basics of writing my LDAP query?And I have also verified that I have successfull test connection below.Any help on this would be appreciated. Thanks.Â
Hello, is there any way to find Workflows which contains notifications to a specific email address? Any way to get this with SQL-queries against Nintex database? Thanks, Chris
How on earth do I set this action up so that all assignees must respond? The "Assign Flexi Task" action has every single feature I need to meet the requirements of my requestor - except for a way to prevent the tasks from being closed because of one dissenter. I want the "Assign Flexi Task" to require all assignees to respond to their task. If they do not respond I have the "Escalation" setup to "Complete task" for them. For my use case, having a minority group or an individual be able to stop the review process and kick off the "Not Required Notification" is not desired functionality.
Hi,  I have made a lookup column which retrieves additional information and therefore is read-only in Sharepoint. The column is retrieved as Transportation:Title. I want to copy this column as text because I want to use it as a quick part on my documents. Unfortunately I cannot choose it as a list item property in the Update List Item action when building a workflow. Does someone knows how to fix this?  Thanks very much!! Â
Hi For an approval task, I pick a group which is an Active Directory group.  If I tick "Create individual tasks for all group members", I'm getting this error: Error in request approval action. The user to assign the task to has resolved as blank text. If I untick "Create individual tasks for all group members", there are no error however, no email notification is sent. This is using the same group.  My questions are:- In theory, are the email notifications supposed to be sent when assigning an approval task to an AD group ? Like is nintex capable of getting the members of the group from AD and then send email to each? - Why would the error about blank text occur in one case and not another ?- When you use an AD group in sharepoint, is it talking to AD directly or is it actually a Sharepoint Group that happens to be the "synced" version of the AD group ? (I suspect the latter but I'm a newbie self trained SP admin) Many thanks in advance Â
Is it possible to have a Nintex forms lookup with external sharepoint list? I've many SQL tables and I need to use the data on the form. I'm creating an external list using BCS. I was able to show external list data in a dropdown using list lookup but having a lookup based on this dropdown selection isn't working!

Hi, I'm new to Nintex and have been lumped with managing a Sharepoint 2013 site with a number of workflows, i've managed to fumble my way through most of it so far however there is one site with a couple of workflows that I am unable to edit. I click on the link then edit and i get the control box on the left hand side with the different control types to use in the workflow which I can add, or edit existing items not problem, however the ribbon never appears at the top allowing me to save the workflow (I have logged in as the person who used to manage this system and is no longer here, and have tried edge, chrome, IE, firefox and edge in IE mode, all to no avail). Any suggestions appreciated Thanks
Hi,  Just wondering, is there a neat way of applying a two-step filter? That is, first filter by a user-selected item then filter by a secondary filter? Context: I'm creating a master inventory list of multiple items. The user must select from a list of potential items. When a new shipment arrives, but the same inventory #, I want the form to autopopulate with the previous inventory #, rather than have the user type in the text. To pull the previous inventory #, I'm basing it on this nifty formula: lookup("List","ID",max(lookup("List","Item Child Count","0","ID",true)),"ColumnYouWantOnPreviousItem") from here.However, I realize that it'll pull the most recent item, regardless of what the item is, which would lead to an inaccurate inventory #. I then created a hidden calculated column on Sharepoint that merges both the Item Name together with the ID #. However, I'm stuck now as to how to modify the above formula to account for the item name.Is there an ootb solution, or any pointers as
I have choice colum with multiple selection and after users select 2 or 3 choice on the list created on pdf it shows only as it is selected one choice and ignore the other selected choices.
I am using Nintex Workflow with a SharePoint 2019 on-premise environment. I have created a subsite under a site collection and have enabled Nintex Workflow at the site and site collection level. The workflows are accessible except when I try to display the inventory of all workflows on the site collection:When I do this, I get a message that says...I am a farm administrator and have full control permission to the site collection and site. Has anyone experienced this? I am not sure what permission I am missing. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
Had a not particularly large site to site data transfer to do over the weekend. High impact so needed minimal downtime. However Microsoft has throttled the transfer HARD to the point only 20-30 word docs are being transferred per hour. Job has been running 60hrs already with no end in site.
In SP2016, I have a workflow. I need to query a custom view of a library that I created. The view has a field called, 'Content owner." In my Query list, I need to specify that instead of giving me all documents that match the Content Owner (where clause), give me the link of the view that has content owner = "Mary Jones" instead. How can that be accomplished. Many thanks. Mayank
Is it possible to get nintex holiday list into SSIS package? SharePoint lists work nicely as OData listdata.svc sources in the package. But what about Nintex service lists, can it be accessed thru webservices?
Will my workflows still run if I don't renew my Nintex Software Assurance Contract? We are migrating to SharePoint Online and are not going to be using Nintex once migrated.
Hi everyone, Workflows baffle me and I'm trying to learn and tried looking at previous articles/questions submitted and I still can't figure this out. I have a Nintex form that was built using the Responsive Designer in Nintex for Office 365. This form allows a user to submit an issue and there is a place for them to attach documents. When the issue is resolved, there is an entirely different set of users that come into these forms and add Resolution Notes and Resolution Attachments. I cannot figure out how to allow the resolution attachments to show in my workflow that goes back to the original submitter letting them know their issue was resolved.   Any help you can offer is greatly appreciated!!!
Hello there,I have an issue with a workflow using 4 collections. The collection that stores the emailaddresses causes the error message mentioned above as soon as the number of items in the emailaddr-collection is bigger than 1. The log below shows, from my point of view, a sample of a workflow with the item property 2 (varPosition 0 and 1) and 4 collections each with 2 items. The first 3 collections are processed but the fourth collection with the 2 email addresses causes an abort of the workflow due the "item property is greater than the number of items in the collections" issue. What I see is that the item property equals the number of items in each collection. Are there any ideas what the root cause could be. The workflow has run with this set-up for one year. It was copied / pasted an adapted to other lists with an extended number of fields without having an impact on this workflow which sents mails out to customers. Thanks a lot for your support. Cheers, Berni

Good morning,  I require some assistance with Nintex form 2013 with SharePoint 2013. My client would like to have a tick box on a Nintex form that based on condition of a attached document to enable the tick box. Is this possible using rules? help would be greatly appreciated.  Randine
SharePoint 2016 on-prem Hello,The SharePoint instance is on a private network so I'm not able to provide links or show screenshots. A new requirement was submitted which basically sets a default value for a field (PR Asset) at item creation - by default, all items are created with '(I)' at the beginning of the item Name field: (I) example document.docx, for example. At the item properties window, the user can change the default (I) setting for PR Asset to one of several other choices: (D1), (SAM), (ITOP), or (LS1T). Additionally, a Nintex Regex control strips out any spaces included by the user. At creation, the above document would appear in the library like this: (I)_example_document.docx. If the user changes the PR Asset field away from the default (I), the Name field is expected to update to something like, (ITOP)_example_document.docx; however, when a new PR Asset value is chosen, the new value simply gets appended to the left of the previous value: (ITOP)_(I)_example_document.doc
I'll see if I can keep this succinct, while also covering everything. I've been tasked with figuring out a way to "extend the life" of workflow data beyond the usual limit (without just manually extending it and causing performance issues). I know the "Workflow History" doesn't actually go away, but the data Nintex is providing leaves a lot to be desired (I'm guessing because the workflow history is now in a custom format). After going down a rabbit hole of playing with the SharePoint API and searching on Google, I'm stuck. First off, the initial source that gave me this idea suggested creating a link in the actual SharePoint list, that points back to Workflow History via the GUID. Only the `List ID` and `Primary Item ID` are always blank. So I started trying to figure out if I could locate that (or some other piece of helpful data) via the API. Perhaps rebuild that data with Power Automate. Or find a reference to the `Workflow History Parent Instance` column somewhere.But all the othe
After updating Nintex (currently using version 5.1.2.0), the SharePoint Ribbon in the form was not hidden anymore. I used following code to hide the ribbon before the update:NWF$("#s4-ribbonrow").hide();I tried to reuse it without any solution. However, I managed to find a solution to this issue. I use following code:NWF.FormFiller.Events.RegisterAfterReady(function() { var x = document.querySelectorAll("#s4-ribbonrow"); x[0].style.setProperty("display", "none", "important");}After previewing the form, the SharePoint ribbon disappeared but another issue occured. Now I have a white strip at the bottom of my form.After investigating, I think it is a resize issue which occurs when the ribbon is hidden. I opened the webpage examiner to see if I edit the size of the form if it changes something. I added 1px to the original height of the class named "ms-dlgFrame" and the form has been put to its original form. However, I didn't manage to implement it in JavaScript because it executes the
