HiI have a Nintex workflow on a list that will write to a SharePoint Calendar.I would like to count how many events are already scheduled on a date. Using a Query, I can find events that start and end on the same day, but it won't count events that last longer than one day. How do can I do this?
HiWe are building a pretty straight forward business project that uses SharePoint 2010 and Nintex workflows. Just the usual lists with workflows attached doing stuff to the list items.Nintex workflows can do pauses for X number of days that exclude holidays if the holiday dates are entered through the Nintex "Manage Holidays" action in the settings for a web. It just lets you enter a bunch of Name + Date combinations. That's great and lets the workflows do their job nicely.Now, we'd like to be able to do custom calculations in a web service that a Nintex workflow can call, that also take those holidays into account. The calculations are just too complex to do with the features that Nintex gives you - which is fine.My question is; is there some way to query that list of dates that we have entered for Nintex to use? They're not stored in any SharePoint lists, hidden or otherwise; they go straight into the Nintex database. I have looked at the Nintex workflow webservice - all the function

Hi, ContextI have a form which uses several workflows. These workflows also use several User Defined Actions. However, I'm experiencing an issue when I respond to a Workflow task. When I insert a comment which includes special characters, it is displayed correctly. The comment is save to a SharePoint list but it is not displayed properly : at first, a lot of these special characters were displayed as HTML characters. What I triedTo fix the problem, I checked the columns' 'type of text'. Since it is a 'Multiple lines of text' columns, the type was set to 'Rich text'. I changed it to 'Plain text' and most of the HTML characters were corrected. The problemHowever, some of these HTML characters were not fixed when I switched the type of text. The characters I identified are : < ; > ; @ ; &I think that the problem occurs in the Workflows or the UDAs because I inserted these characters in a comment field (which has for type 'Multiple lines of text' set as 'Rich text') and they were
Hi All,I am struggling with one of the requirements of my SharePoint Project. My requirement is as below:- I need a Nintex form with the Input box where I can input the number, say "5" and when I click submit button it should create 5 rows/ records in my target SharePoint list with all the fields duplicated, except ID which is basically created by SharePoint list as an unique IDs.E.g. If I entered 5 in the input box then the SharePoint list will have 5 rows created with series 1,2,3,4 &5. I don't want to use Repeating section because my input box number value can go high up to 15 and for which repeating section is not a feasible option. Any help on this will be really appreciated. Thanks.
Hi, I have a requirement where I have to automate the process of generating the Audit Log reports (Reporting targeted towards a single document library). The defined schedule is to generate these reports every month.Is there a way to do this in SharePoint using Nintex Workflow? I currently see an option to generate these reports as and when I need them. But, I would like to schedule these reports in such a way that they are generated automatically every month and create alerts to users when a new audit log is generated. Please advise.
When I validate my nintex form, I am redirected to the list page. Instead I would like to redirect to a specific page to which I can pass the ID value of the new item created. Any idea how to proceed?
How do you get the ID value of the last created item by the current user using jquery?

HI all, I am trying to set a Nintex Workflow Error Notifications to go to myself (which is working perfectly) but I also would like it to go to an AD distribution group. I have added both emails (separated by a semi colon) at the site and site collection level as you can see in the screenshot but the distribution group is not receiving any of the Nintex workflow email errors. It is working for the first person just not the AD distro group. Wondering if there is something required that I missed for this to happen. Â
Hello All,I have a form for Assign flexi task, and two buttons on it connected to 'Decision' with return values 1 and 2 (Approve and Reject). Decision control isn't visible with default value 1.I want to invalidate form only when user clicks rejection button, if comment is empty.So I set a rule for rejection button as followsAnd when I run the workflow, this rule works for both buttons.
I have a scheduled workflow that runs daily which:queries a list within the site looking for any items matching the criteria specified loops through each of the items identified and gathers information builds a string of that information sends an email with the information compiled I am looking for help please to figure out how to end the workflow where there are no items identified at step 1 thus preventing the email from being sent out with no information. Please see screen shots below which might assist and thanks in advance for any help 🙂
how do you add Certificate based Digital signature blocks to on-prem (no connections outside of network) Nintex forms.Â
I've got a form with multiple optional approvals - that part works. I then send an email to these people via the Send Email function and add the fields as follows: To [%Workflow Context:InitiatorUserId%]CC [%Current Item:Amend_GenManager%] [%Current Item:Amend_HRMgr%] [%Current Item:Employee%] [%Variable:vDeptApprover%] Note, some are People fields, with one a string field. That all works as long as they are either all unique or blank. But if I have a duplicate email across those fields (a valid occurrence within the data) I get the following in the workflow: "WorkflowTerminatedException: Each email address in the personalization block should be unique between to: cc: and bcc. We found the first duplicate instance of {email address}"Terminating a workflow due to a duplicated email address is a royal PITA! Any ideas on how to get around this, noting the mix of people/string fields?Thanks. Â
I'm building out a form for our HR department and I'm having some issues getting a rule to function correctly. I have have drop down control that's connected to a choice column named Type of Search with 3 options Full Limited Emergency I have some controls in a panel that will only be used for Full or Limited searches so I'm trying to configure a rule to hide the panel. I've tried the following syntax or(TypeofSearch!="Full, Type of Search!="Limited") TypeofSearch!="Full|||Type of Search!="Limited" TypeofSearch!="Full"||"Limited" All result in the panel being hidden, but doesn't show when Limited or Full is selected I have another panel that is hidden unless TypeofSearch equals Emergency which works fine. I'm new to Nintex, so I'm sure I'm missing something simple. Any suggestions? Thanks!
Hi all, I'm trying to implement the classic select an option from a choice field and if your item isn't listed choose the 'other' check box and a new text box will appear where they can type what 'other' means. I only want that text box displayed if 'other' is selected. By way of example, let's say we want someone to fill in which Nintex Products they are interested in but only want to mention the main ones. The choice field is called productChoices. Anything else they can tick 'other' and type the name in: Tell us what Nintex Products you are interested in:[ ] Workflow[ ] Forms[ ] W/F for Project Server[ ] Other I've created a hide rule on the 'other' field that parses this list and checks to see if other has been ticked. I can't do a simple hide if productChoices='other' because the person may have ticked some other products too. Therefore I've used the contains formula.Hide if: !contains(productChoices, 'other') That works perfectly for the web form (on-prem and live) but unfo

I receive this error when trying to publish a workflow in a specific web app. Other web apps on the same server work fine. This was a test workflow with one action - log to the history list. I did see that someone suggested a solution but received the Access denied message when trying to view it.I've tried the following:- deactivate/reactivate the app feature in CA- made sure the same features were active in the site the publish failed that were activated in the site that the publish works.- confirmed that no site collection in this web app works correctly. - The web.config for both web apps (the one that works and the one that does not) seem to have the same entries for the Nintex features.- saw in another forum that some suggested I upgrade the nintex forms with this command: My question is this - outside of completely removing the features and reinstalling them, what else can I check?

Hello, I am building a form, and I have a Hyperlink control. I need to set the mode of that control to Display Mode when that matches a few conditions on the form (e.g., Status != Open and {Self} != null, then change the control mode to Display; otherwise, set it to edit mode).  Can I achieve this type of functionality on the control directly, or will I need to use two different control and hide and show them based on opposite conditions?  Thank you, Rahul

How can I create this to show in the form/list?
