Hi members, I have site workflow where I am querying workflow tasks list to get related content titles but instead I get the link to main list. How can I get only related content title? Â
I need help trying to pass the CERT: Nintex Process Automation Practitioner – SharePoint examI've made 3 attempts and scored 60% at my latest attempt. I don't see any study materials specifically for this test. Is there someone in the Community who can reach out to help?
HiI have fairly complex workflows to be developed. I, naturally, could've gone for SharePoint + Nintex Workflow, but as a technology constraint I must use CRM workflows.I was hoping that I could find something like Nintex Workflow for CRM Dynamics that gets integrated into its designer; exactly like Nintex does with SharePoint. So that I can design complex workflows within CRM itself, rather than using SharePoint -- Idea is to use CRM as xRM itself.In this case, I could rely on following:Simple workflows --> use CRM designer Complex --> use Nintex Workflow + windows workflow foundationQuestion: Can CRM2011 be used to develop complex workflows? Using WWF, or any other third party workflow engine?Thanks in advance.

Is there any way to take backup of Nintex workflow history when license is available so that in future if it gets deleted, we can restore it.
My understanding is that Excel Web Services were deprecated with SharePoint 2016, yet some instructions are available to setup online services to allow it to still function. Has anyone done this in SharePoint 2019, or come up with an alternate way to extract data from a spreadsheet to create list items via workflow? I have done some smaller spreadsheets (like 30 columns) by exporting as a CSV, creating a collection, "popping" off columns one at a time to only create collections from the columns I need, and using that info to create list items. But the new spreadsheet has over 100 columns, and I need maybe 15 of them, so Query Excel Services makes more sense, in that I can pick and choose the columns I need.
Does anyone know how you get the value of a checkbox with javascript? I have a checkbox with one value called override and the field value is stored in the variable varGRORI tried these and others but none work:    NWF$('#' + varGROR).val(); NWF$('#' + varGROR + ' option:selected'); Can anyone help?
What is the easiest way to calculate business days? Is there an inline function that can do this? I have a requirement where I need to set the due date of a task to be 14 business days from the current date. I had seen on the old site where there was discussion of future builds of Nintex handling this, but wasn't able to find if that had happened or not. Anyone know?
In standard Sharepoint Approval workflow there is option:"End on First Rejection - Automatically reject the document if it is rejected by any participant"How can i achieve the same effect in Nintex Workflow 2010 for action "Request approval"?
Hi  We errors like these when attaching a file to for example a send mail action in our on-premise Nintex workflow. Service account has access but it still fails. we get:  System.IO.FileNotFoundException: The Web application at https://<tenant>.sharepoint.com/HR/Documents/Preboarding%20-%20attachments/Danmark/Dansk%20Sundhedssikring.pdf 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.  Any ideas?
We are creating an item in a SharePoint List through a Nintex Site workflow. Everything is working fine in that process.  However we have some fields which are saved only in the FormData of the Nintex Form which cannot be accessed for the newly created item. It seems that to read and write on the Form Data through a Nintex Site Workflow, the item Form has to be opened manually at least once.  Has anyone experienced a similar behaviour and any workarounds found?Â
Hello Nintex Gurus--The user selects the item and I would like it to cross reference to show the numeric value assigned.I have a time list in a different location that is down to the minute level with a numeric value associated with it. (5:00am =300)  To pull in this list for reference I a list look up then created another field to show (parse lookup) just the value with out the drop down selection. This only works if someone selects an item from the drop down.  There must be an easier way to cross reference a list to show the value. How can I get there without a selection in the list look up? Â
After changing the default value a list item, the connected control field is not displaying the new default value. Is this a bug or am I missing something?
Good morning all, I am currently trying to figure out how to make this happen. I have created a workflow but the problem is that it sends an email out every 1-4 hours. I want an email daily that tells the customer to update their item if they have not completed it yet. Once the item is completed it should stop sending emails. That is what the workflow looks like. thanks for your time and patience.Â
Hi There,Using Nintex Forms my users are selecting some items (multiple choice lookup).Then the Workflow need to complete the details of each item to send a complete list to a responsible.For example :In Nintex Forms from UserSelections list I populated the 3 columns as follow (3rd one beeing the lookup from ProdSelectable) :1; Paul; "Apple, Nuddle, Bread" 2; Mary; "Apple, Candy, Onion"Â ProdSelectable is made of 4 columns as follow :1, Apple, Gary Producer, London 2, Nuddle, Gary Producer, London 3, Bread, Tom Leaving, Paris 4, Candy, Jerry Sams, New York 5, Onion, Tom Leaving, ParisThe needed result is a message to myself saying :Paul ordered : Apple from Gary Producer in London Nuddle from Gary Producer in London Bread from Tom Leaving in Paris Mary ordered : Apple from Gary Producer in London Candy from Jerry Sams in New-York Onion from Tom Leaving in Paris I could easily make the first steps, but I am struggling retrieving the details from ProdSelectable in the message.I could
I am using Nintex forms. I have a Hyperlink or Picture column in this form. When a user pastes a link into the form field, I would like this link to open in a new window if someone else were to come in and review the submitted form. For example, Mike submitted a task item. I open the task item to view it. The task item contains the link that Mike pasted into the Hyperlink or Picture column. I want to be able to click Mike's link and open in new window. I understand that using the label field in the form can be set to open a specific link but this does not work for me being that each task item will have a different link pasted by users.
Hi, Â Is there any way to check with a Nintex workflow if a user belongs to a specific SP Group even though he has been added to this group through a AD group ? Â Thanks a lot, Â
I have a form that is intended to track the progress of a task with users updating the form periodically X amount of times. As such, I used a repeated section on my nintex form that has it's data transferred onto another list to preserve that data stored there, as currently in the new form designer there is no option to disable the delete row option for a repeated section. I have figured out how to preserve the data that has been newly entered and submitted by using a loop and query xml action however, the main problem with my solution is that it copies ALL the data into the sharepoint list again. Meaning I have duplicated data entered each time the user submits an update. Eg. Update 1 ---> user submits ---> Update 1 is copied onto sharepoint listUpdate 2 ---> User Submits ---> Update 1 and Update 2 is copied onto sharepoint list. Is there a way to prevent this from happening and only update the list with newly updated data?
I have a form with a Calculated Field ("StepNumber") and a Choice Field ("TechName"). I want to make the Choice field mandatory if the Calculated Field equals "John". I've tried:StepNumber=="John" && isNullOrEmpty({Self})
I created a SharePoint list for the purpose of creating a training request. Managers submit a request for one or multiple new hires to receive training via a Nintex form.  If there is a change with one of the new hires (example-delay is start date) we cannot update the line to reflect the updated start date if the line of date belongs to multiple new hires. Causing us to manually create a new line. To keep it easy for the managers we would like to create a workflow that will split each new hire to a new SharePoint list row with duplicating data  Simple example:
Hi Folks, I have a panel that need to hide based on a few different conditions. I struggled with it for a while and a colleague, @espinozae, got it to work for me but neither of us can clarify why it works this way and the previous attempts did not work. This is what finally worked...or( not(cho_AbsenceType,"Sick"), and( equals(cho_AbsenceType,"Leave"), not(equals(cho_AddSickToLeave,"Yes")))) This is what we had previously and is seems like it should have worked...((cho_AbsenceType!="Sick")||((cho_AbsenceType=="Leave")&&(cho_AddSickToLeave!="Yes")))Also, this next setup seems like it would be more correct than what actually worked since both sides of the "or" function are syntactically the same. Note the not(equals(...)) in both or function arguments as opposed to what worked where the not(equals(...)) is only present in the second argument of the or function.or( not(equals(cho_AbsenceType,"Sick")), and( equals(cho_AbsenceType,"Leave"), not(equals(cho_AddSickToLeave,"Yes")))) C

I want to upload a image (stored in SharePoint) elsewhere (not in SharePoint), most api's require you to use a multi/form-data content type to properly post the image elsewhere. How or can this be done using Web Request Action?
Good day, can we generate a .msg file in nintex workflow the purpose would be to change some informations in the email but to send the email based on a users column everytime tho. the email could change at any given time, that's why the email notification is not usable for what we would like to do.
We have an approval workflow that is not showing the Nintex form created for approval of the task. The approver receives the workflow system email, and the link included in the email just opens a "workflow tasks" blank page (see attached) but not the approval form where the approver can execute the task. Any help or guidance is much appreciated. Â
