Nintex for SharePoint

All, the convert to PDF action suddenly stopped working. The timer job runs and it looks like it is not picking up the documents that need to be converted. It was working for a few months and suddenly stopped. Any idea what I need to do to fix this? I restarted the server and no luck.

Hi ,I'm using a web request action to call a custom api I created so I can return a specific data . When I run the work flow Nintex didn't wait until I do the web request and the data returned , it skips along to the next step to do . my question is , how can I make Nintex waits for the web request return first and then I can proceed with next steps . This web request on the pic is ignored by Nintex . How can I make Nintex pause to make the web request return data   Thanks in advance

Hi all! As a result from a query (SQL) I get an integer value (e.g. 30) Then I want to create list items according to the result. Creating these items with a "loop" is not an option as it is too slow with safe looping enabled. Is it possible to create a collection from the result (30) that could be used in "for each" ? I would be grateful if you could give me a hint. Thanks! Dirk    

I have a workflow with 2 parallel branches. 1 is a Flexi task and the other is an automated reminder that sends when the current date is past the due date. The automated reminder  branch is comprised of a loop of if the outcome of the task is still blank, then a run if the current date is past the due date. Outside of the run-if but at the end of the loop there is a 24 hour pause before it loops again to check if the due date has passed and the outcome is still blank. On the task branch, once the user completes the task and therefore fills out the outcome, there is a "end workflow" action that terminates the workflow and stops the automated reminder branch from continuing to loop. The majority of the time, this has worked completely fine. However, I've found one workflow instance where the task was completed before the due date and it shows in the workflow history that the end workflow action was completed as well. But, the loop is still running and sends a notification every 24 hours

We've been running Nintex Workflow for years with the outbound SMTP being a URL (example.ourdomain.com). We use NW2013 internally only. Our Windows admin provided a new server name and IP Address which I confirmed works because I can ping the DNS name and get the IP Address back. I entered this new static IP Address in the Outbound SMTP Server field in CA-->Nintex WF Mgmt-->Global Settings, restarted IIS, and no mail is getting sent. Does it have to be a URL in that field or should the IP Address work?

I am trying to split a value in Nintex, Sharepoint 2010My value: ABCD123456I want to split """ and return this:ABCD123456But when I try this, it returns an error:Error in regular expression action. parsing """ - Illegal at end of pattern.

Hi All   Is there a way to validate the date column on the Forms. We want to have a WFH request form that only allows a date selection between Tuesday and Thursday.    

I have a fairly large repeating section on a form that the users would like to auto collapse once filled in with the ability to expand if needed. They often have multiple "rows" for each form (added after the initial form is created) and it makes scrolling to the bottom to fill in the new "row" time consuming.Since this is a Responsive form, I can not use Java script. Is it possible to do this on a responsive form that I just haven't discovered? Or have the "Add new row" at the top of the repeating section?

Thank you to this discussion, I have been able to extract the comments from a multi-line text field where append text was enabled; however, I am still unable to display the data onto a sharepoint list column:  Solved: Extracting Data from Appended Multi-Line Text Fiel... - Nintex Community I am using on-prem Nintex Workflow/Sharepoint 2019 and request assistance on this final step in building a string that captures each extraction after using the "Call Web Service" and "Query XML" action resulting in e.g., 4 different data sets, how do I build a string for each data set to display Date, Name, Comment in a new column.I tried using the For Each and adding a math operation, but it did not work. If you are able to provide examples with screen prints, I would greatly appreciate it.

Hi, I want to create multiple forms for a List with only default content type and it has about 40 columns but since it is not possible I am planning to create multiple panels and hide/Show them according to the conditions . My issue is that some  columns should appear at different locations depending on the type of panel selected. Can I include one column across multiple panels?

Good day,Please help, There is a multiple line textbox to type in comments written message, like on the screenshot below, I want this box to expand when users type in their message or comment, how can I achieve that?, I am using Nintex for  

Hello,   I want to be able to filter a column with multiple selection (whether it is a choice, lookup or managed metadata based) by the otherwise common logic of AND operator.   Example: I have a column with choices A, B and C   When I filter by A and B in choice or managed metadata currently sharepoint would show me all items which contains either A or B.   I would like to only get items, which contain A and B.   Until now I have found no possibility to do that, either with OOB nor Nintex Forms I am using.   Is there any way to accomplish that?   P. S.: I am currently using Sharepoint 2016 and Nintex Forms. The p

Hallo dear community, I am struggling with the following situation:I have a library with a workflow triggered by uploading of a document (create event).In this workflow I get the URL of the item (checked log: works!)I truncate this URL via /[^/]*$ pattern to get the URL of the parent folder (checked log: works!)Now I use query list on same library to find another document in same folder and extract it's ID or name or any other property: for this I use it's content type (Auftragsvorlage) AND the encoded absolute URL of the parent folder (variable sltParentURL) via "contains" or "begins with " condition.Unfortunately I don't get any results, whatever I try - if I remove the URL condition, the query gives me correct results in form of all available documents of that content type throughout the library. But it does not let me filter that down to the one in the folder with known URL.In following the CAML query - can someone hint me at what I am doing wrong here? I tried so many things and s

SharePoint Version: 2013Nintex Workflow Version: 3.1.8 We recently upgraded our DEV environment to Nintex Workflow v3.1.8.  To test out the upgrade, we restored a site collection from PROD to DEV.  Our PROD is in v3.1.7.10. When we tried to look at the list of workflows (Site Settings > Nintex Workflows 2013 > Manage Workflow Inventory), the page was blank.  The workflows are still there, we were able to run them.  However, we cannot open them up for editing.  Upon closer inspection of the URL, it is pointing to: "sharepointsite/_layouts/15/NintexWorkflow/WorkflowGallery.aspx?NeedUpgrade=false".  I tried remove "NeedUpgrade=false", but it always comes back.  When I tried to open the workflow inventory on a site that was already in the DEV environment before the upgrade, I was able to see them.  Looking at the URL, it points to "sharepointsite/_layouts/15/NintexWorkflow/WorkflowGallery.aspx".  The issue only occurs on site collections that were restored after the upgrade.  Can som

Hello, I need to manage (list, view, add, edit, delete) any and all Task Delegation.   I already activated the option to allow a site admin to add a delegation in the name of another user (and it work)   But now I need to be able to edit or remove some.   /NintexWorkflow/DelegationEdit.aspx?delegationID=1234 Works well for editing my own delegations but I cannot edit a delegation of another user. (error)   I can view em if I use /NintexWorkflow/UserPreferences.aspx?username=SomeUserName But even there, if I click the link, I get an error page with the message : ApplicationPages_DelegationEdit_CannotFindDelegation   I am aware of the DataBase/Table [NintexWorkflowDB].[dbo].[Delegation] but I do not want to write or edit it manually. (still useful to read a full list tho)   Any native solution I missed ?   (by the way : Nintex Workflow for SharePoint 2019 - version: 5.1.2.0)

Hello,I have a Nintex Workflow Query action that fetches 3 approver accounts from a row that has the requested authentication group name. It should then set 3 Workflow Person or Group variables to the 3 accounts found by the query, but the workflow keeps getting suspended with the error "An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the workflow instance. Exception details: System.InvalidCastException:  The value 'Approver|Name[0]' cannot be read as type 'String'. ". I want the query to find the 3 People or Group within the SharePoint list, then set those people to a People or Group Workflow variable. Is this possible? Note: In the error message above, I set the query column property to Account.  Any guidance on how to accomplish this task would be immensely helpful!

I want to know how I can leverage the "nintex workflow multi outcome task using nintex forms" content type in a request data action. Essentially, I want the user to see a Nintex Form when they respond to a request data action email. Does anyone have experience with this or is there a good resource available to reference? Thanks,Steve

I'm posting my solution for this common issue here in the hopes to help other users who have similar requirements to assign Flexi-tasks to users on Business Days only. I had seen on nintex community that there was a UDA created for this but it didn't work properly for me (due dates were just blank). I am using SharePoint 2013.Here is my manual workaround that has been working very well for my workflow:  Query List Action - this is used to query a list we have on our site where the number of days to complete a task is stored. This is used to find the appropriate number of days given certain conditions but if your days are standard for all tasks this is not necessary. Output is a number variable, varDaystoAdd Calculate Date Action - adds varDaystoAdd to current date and stores in date variable, varDueDate Set Variable Action - finds the day of the week varDueDate is:  use function:  fn-FormatDate(varDueDate, "dddd") store in varDay "dddd" will output the day of the week written out ex)

Building a new custom action and need to determine if the action is in a site or list workflow and display the appropriate dialog. If the action is on a list workflow I can use the current item from context. If the action is a site workflow the configuration dialog will have to request list ID and item ID.   Any examples of how to modify the dialog aspx page for site vs list workflows?

Hello Everyone. I've been playing with a way to hide (or even disable would be better) an form element based on the day of the week. I've had success previously with formulas such as formatDate(Current Date,"dddd")="Monday" but for some reason, I cannot get it to work on any one element for its visibility property or even in a rule for the element. What I'm trying to do is hide/disable an element if the form is loaded on a Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday. I'm starting to think it has a different syntax for them but any assistance in this matter would be greatly appreciated.  Adam

I have a static list with all machines in a plant. And a dynamic list, that is the machines were inspected in the previous day. I am wondering if I could find what machines were not inspected in the previous day, by using Nintex Forms functions.

... w/o having to write a chunk of JS code each time. Is there something built into the Rules Engine to clear a field when it is hidden by a rule? I've searched the Nintex Connect Community for hours  Why would I want to do this you ask?If a form user fills in a field that becomes irrelevant and is hidden, why would I want to store the irrelevant data? Don't you just hate people who answer a question with a question? I've written Custom JS to take care of it, but am hoping there is something built in. A function/method, etc. Thanks mis amigos!
