Hello , can someone help me to generate a form by tape the button on another form please, i don't have ideas about how to implement this case.Â
Good Afternoon.I'm new nintex forms and inherited a new project. Is it possible to do multiple redirects from a single nintex form? For example, a user is on child web page base off a category(let's say North America, South America, Africa, Asia, Europe, Australia are the categories) from the main page. On this sub page(for example, North America) is a button. This button event pops up an nintex form. The user fills out the form and saves. On the save event the page is redirected back to the main page. We prefer the form redirect to the categorized sub page from which the button event was fired. Unfortunately, each category child page uses the same nintex form. Is there a way to redirect back to the sub page the button event was fired despite each child page using the same nintex form? Thanks in advance!
Looking for a way to create a report that will list out all Nintex forms for a site collection. Or forms by site collection. Basically I need a listing for an upcoming migration from 2013 to 365.Â
Hello, as the title suggests, im trying to copy the content of my textbox2 into textbox1, but if the length of the copied content exceeds 125 characters, only copy the first 125 characters and add "[...]" at the end.To achieve this, I have a button, and two fields with Client-IDs (textbox1 and textbox2). This is in SharePoint 2013 on-premise inside a Nintex Form to create a new element in a list. I've got to the point where it copies the content of my textbox, but does not shorten/cut it. I feel like im really close, but im a total newb and just can't get it to work... hopefully one of you can help!  For the custom JS on the form i have this: var autoFilltext = textbox2; function autoCopy () { NWF$('#' + textbox1).val(NWF$('#' + autoFilltext).val());};  and for my button i have this onClick: if (autoFilltext.length > 125) { autoFilltext = autoFilltext.substring(0, 124) + "[...]"; }; NWF$(document).ready(function(){  autoCopy();}); If you need anymore context, feel free to ask.
I am trying to make a repeating in a Nintex Form (using online version) as easy as possible for the end user. I want to allow user to select "Item A" from drop-down "Item Category", and then another drop down would change depending on which "Item" has been selected. For example, with "Item A" selected, only "Component A", "Component B", and "Component C" will be available for selection in "Item Component", while if "Item B" is selected, only "Component D", "Component E", and "Component F" are available for selection. Hopefully I have explained this enough. A step-by-step would be much appreciated!

Hello,We are having a problem with a workflow getting stuck at a Request Data action. 99% of the time, this action completes successfully and the workflow moves on to the next action. Once in a while however, although the workflow history shows that the task status is Completed, the workflow outcome remains at Pending forever: We are using SharePoint 2013, which is up to date, and Nintex Workflow and Forms 2013 which are also up to date. The Request Data action has a Nintex Form within it. LazyApproval is disabled; users respond only via desktop, no mobile. The task is assigned only to one individual, using a previous set variable action. There are no reminders, and no escalation. It uses an existing (custom) content type. Variables are provided to receive the data for each content type column:   There is also a Set Item Permissions action, prior to the task, which grants the user-to-be-assigned Full Control access to the item the workflow is running on. Existing permissions are not re
SharePoint 2016 Â We create new list items from custom code running via Windows Service. Once items are created our workflows do not start (workflows are set to start on creation). Â From other posts etc. I recall previously WFs did not start when the System Account creates the items, but recall this was resolved in later versions of SharePoint and Nintex...additionally this worked before. Â Can anyone confirm if this IS possible i.e. for workflows to start when
HelloI'm looking for a solution to open/create the Nintex form for a "create subtask" option in the Task List.

Hi all, I was wondering if I could pick your collective minds on brainstorming some approaches to a form I am building. The Scenario:We would like to design a form that allows our Instructional Designers (IDs) to request jobs from our Media team. Our IDs work on different Programmes and so need the option to select the appropriate programme they are requesting work from. At this stage the ID now has the option to request a New Job or to update an Existing Job. If they are updating an Existing Job, they can just simply type in Job number (e.g xxxx000001) but if they are requesting a new job, then depending on the Programme they select, we need to the form to look at the existing jobs and increment the job number by 1 - yes the dreaded increment! Work Done:I've tried a few approaches to this starting with the responsive form template, but quickly switched to the classic form template so I could add custom JavaScript to help with functionality.I have created several lists on SharePoint
Hello! I am am migrating a process from Teamsite to Sharepoint (a bit late I know) and we have found a hurdle. We lookup our callers by their unique employee ID (a 9 digit number) and have been for about a year. But with the switch we have found that we can no longer lookup callers by the id and instead have to use either last name, first name or the work email. This is very slow compared to our normal process as we have to fiddle with spelling and trying to hear over the phone in sometime poor quality calls. I am trying to find a work around for this. I know there is a "UserInfo" list hidden on the site that if I could get at it with a lookup function I could find what I need, but I only ever get "#value" errors when I try. Could be impossible or could be syntax.  userProfileLookup requires the email and typing into the people element directly only works with the name/email.  Oddly, if I am editing the list directly, I can fill in the people column with the unique employee ID and it f
This has been discussed ad nauseum in countless threads, but I cannot for the life of me find how to correctly provision the workflow to iterate through the collection. Let's say I have a repeating section with a single text field that a user can add to.The xml will look like this, in my RepeatingSection column (plain text, multiline):<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><RepeaterData><Version /><Items><Item><Thing type="System.String">First thing</Thing></Item><Item><Thing type="System.String">Second thing</Thing></Item><Item><Thing type="System.String">Third thing</Thing></Item></Items></RepeaterData> I know I need to use Query XML to get the collection information, but I don't know how to set it up correctly. I can drill down to the "Thing" item that I want, but do I keep the [1] as the index when initially querying? If I set it to a WF variable, it doesn't work.Here are my v
Hello All,I just recent learned about Nintex.  Is it it possible to group on a specific column(let’s say email) in a SharePoint site, select all associated columns from the now grouped email list , and send an email to each recipient and have them approve each list item from the email?
Hello After installing Sharepoint 2013 on premise and Nintex Workflow and Nintex Forms 2013 and configuring it a bit I tried to publish a very simple workflow for a list in created site. It can be saved but when trying to publish following error occurs:soap:ServerServer was unable to process request. ---> Failed to publish workflow: <Error><CompilerError Line="-1" Column="-1" Text="Type Nintex.Workflow.Activities.ReportingHeaderActivity is not marked as authorized in the application configuration file." /><CompilerError Line="-1" Column="-1" Text="Type Nintex.Workflow.Activities.SendMessageActivity is not marked as authorized in the application configuration file." /><CompilerError Line="-1" Column="-1" Text="Type Nintex.Workflow.Activities.ReportingFooterActivity is not marked as authorized in the application configuration file." /></Error>My question is what I should add to which file (web.config I presume)?Thanks in advance :)Â

Hello Community! I had to build a workaround for our solution, where I export data to a .csv file.Everything is working find, except of the special letters, like German or Chinese.  I extract the file very easy with the "send notification" option, I tried to use UTP-8 mime type, but the result is still the same (I got only signs, instead of letters).What is correct settings here? Â
I need to find a way to possibly use the workflow to create an actual file that duplicates the submitted form and place it in a document library. The is so we can automate getting the form submissions into our archive system OnBase. Does anyone know of a way to do this? Using Document Generation would be too expensive.
We use Nintex Wokflow for SharePoint 2016.I tried to delete a folder with a Workflow. But I can´t find an action which works.Action "Delete Multiple Items" --> Selection "Created less than Date" --> Only files will be deleted.Action "Delete Item" --> Query with Folder ID --> Workflow Error --> Message: "Element not found"Is there any other opertunity to delete Folders with Nintex Workflow? Maybe a Webservice?Thanks a lot!
Hello All,I have a form with a series of Yes/No checkboxes. Users can check one or more, and for each one that is checked a panel is displayed with a bunch of fields to complete.Upon submission of the form a workflow fires and emails the details to various recipients. Currently it includes all fields regardless of whether they were completed, and I'd like to change that to include only those fields associated with the checkboxes that were selected.I've tried various ways to achieve this - adding the fields to variables and including them according to checkbox values, using calculated values/columns - but they either haven't worked or the resulting formatting has been all over the place.Any ideas on how best to achieve this much appreciated - I feel like I'm missing something obviousThanks in advanceDan

I will appreciate any help i can get to help me achieve this.  Thanks
Hi I have a nintex form with a multiple lines of text field (no rules or controls set). After submitted, the column in the SharePoint library that is linked to the form shows a special character (?) at the end of the text. This special character is nowhere on the nintex form (verified that there were no spaces after the letters on the form). Can I code this out or is this a validation issue? Or something else?
