I have a question regarding Nintex Administration Page, we are wanting to deploy Nintex for SharePoint and have all the Core Actions and Connectors selected by default:   We are wanting to do this via a PowerShell script using the Nintex Assemblies, for example: $WebApplication = Get-SPWebApplication https://blah$SPWeb = Get-SPWeb ‘https://blah’$SPSite = Get-SPSite ‘https://blah’[Nintex.Workflow.Administration.AuthorisedTypes]::InstallAuthorizedWorkflowTypes($WebApplication)  foreach ($Activity in [Nintex.Workflow.ActivityReferenceCollection]::GetAllActivities()){   if([string]::IsNullOrEmpty($Activity.ActivityType) -eq $false)   {       Write-Output "Activating $($Activity.Name)"       Write-Output "$($Activity.ActivityId)"                   $TypeName = [String]::Empty       $NamespaceName = [String]::Empty       #[Nintex.Workflow.Common.Utility]::ExtractNamespaceAndClassName($Activity.ActivityType, [ref]$TypeName, [ref]$NamespaceName)       #[Nintex.Workflow.Administration.Au

I am very new to using Nintex, and am stuck when it comes to creating a list query that will identify records who were recently modified within the last 24hrs. I created a column that is 24hrs ahead of the last modified date and filters the query for results that are greater than "today's" date. The CAML Query is:<Query><Lists><List ID="{044545F2-E4BD-4CD4-B2B9-60F66040CE66}" /></Lists><ViewFields><FieldRef Name="Lookup_x0020_ID" /></ViewFields><Where><Geq><FieldRef Name="_x0032_4Hrs_Ago" /><Value Type="DateTime">{WorkflowVariable:Today}</Value></Geq></Where></Query> If I set no filter it returns a bunch of values, but once the filter is added for any time range I get 0. Not sure what I am doing wrong at this point. I have tried both methods provided in the How to Query SharePoint List Item that were modified in Last X Days with Nintex Workflow? blogAny Help or insight is greatly appreciated Â
Hi All, Hoping someone can help me here. I have an order form that end users complete to request certain equipment from our stores section. Once the user has submitted the order form, it creates a task which gets sent to an iPad in our stores section for our staff to pick and send off.  The order form consists of a repeating section that has two lookup fields in it, looking up data from a sharepoint list with the catalogue items. The two lookup fields are named "Category" and "Item". One of the biggest complains I am getting from the stores workers is that when they are picking, they are going back on themselves multiple times as the items in the picking form aren't in the order of the category.  Is there a way, with a Nintex Workflow, that I would be able to query each of the lines in the repeating section, look for the Category, and order the lines in the repeating sections by the Category? Please see below an example of what I mean: Order form submitted with 4 items:1x Category="Fue
 So, I’ve searched and searched for an answer to how to export a list to a CSV file when one of the columns in SharePoint list has comma’s in it, example FIRSTNAME, LASTNAME. All I get is how to export list to CSV but none of the examples tell me how to keep a comma in a field. I’ve reviewed several posts by Vadim Tabakman so please DO NOT refer me to any, they are not answering my question/issue. So, lets me show you what I have. Here is my list of employees’. Dummy list ? The above list feeds the FULL NAME only to the below list via a lookup. The Employee Directory has other uses.You will note, which is my issue, that in the NAME column the format of the name is LASTNAME, FIRSTNAME.Now below is the NINTEX Workflow 2013. This is a SITE workflow as I need it to run at a certain time every day.The workflow works the way it is, with two exceptions:I can’t get the name to stay in one cell in excel. Name format has to be LASTNAME, FIRSTNAME. Because of the comma, it splitting the name int
I have a List that grows by 300 items a day. Thus, I have an archive process in place to purge the items every 3 days. The challenge now is the manager wants to view the past 6 months of data for metric purposes. What are my options given that I am always being told that List can not exceed 5,000 rows, but having a need to store 27,000 rows for metrics and other validation purposes such as an audit check... Is it possible via a Workflow to export to a Excel spreadsheet daily (append the records to a master workbook)..
I've got a form that is throwing an error on a disable form. Error text is as follows: control.className.indexOf is not a function If the rule is changed to Hide or Invalidate it works fine. This behavior exists in 2 different environments. Someone else on my team discovered this issue, so I replicated it on my own site. Seems like a bug.  Â
Good Day, I am very new to Nintex and sharepoint and am having immense troubles with one of my first tasks. I am trying to create a Nintex form to replace a paper copy. One area of the form requires the ability to input multiple names and positions. I have dragged the "name" and "position" single line text columns into my nintex form. But, when I try and put them into a repeating rows column I have a plethora of issues. When I try and connect the repeating rows to a column on my sharepoint list it will say it is incompatible. But when I fix the compatibility by changing the required text from "rich"Â to "plain" the data is unreadable. In short, I need repeating rows to work but I don't know how to set it up. I am not using a workflow, just the form and having it display on a sharepoint list. I am very confused and in desperate need of help.
On my form I have a repeating section that I would like to display on the workflow task form whilst also being able to complete additional fields. To be specific: on the form a user can be signed up for software named YOB and on the task form the repeating section is displayed (read only) as it is filled out and in additional fields (edit) it can be registered what each user's user name and password will be, amongst other things. I have found discussions on displaying repeating section data Displaying Repeating Section Data in List Views, The Easy Way! and on continuing a repeating section from a task form on another task form within the same workflow Seeding a Repeating Section.In the first instance it is important not to connect the repeating section to a column so that all data is saved to the hidden Form Data column.When continuing a repeating section on a task form it is important to connect all same repeating sections on the different task forms to the same variable within the wo
Hi,I am trying to define condition for one field visibility in Nintex ShP form. I tried to use below formulas, but it did not worked - field was visible for everyone with access to site, not members of those groups. fn-Or(fn-IsMemberOfGroup('Group_1'),fn-IsMemberOfGroup("Group 2"))fn-Or(fn-IsMemberOfGroup('Group_1'),fn-IsMemberOfGroup('Group 2'))Or(fn-IsMemberOfGroup('Group_1'),fn-IsMemberOfGroup("Group 2"))Or(fn-IsMemberOfGroup('Group_1'),fn-IsMemberOfGroup('Group 2')) Could you advise what is wrong in above conditions and how proper logic shall be defined? RegardsBartek
I am facing an issue while editing the Nintex Workflow for SharePoint 2016. The edit workflow was working fine earlier however since couple of days when I edit the workflow and then edit the task from on the flexi task action (Edit with nintex forms), we get the error: "An error occurred during an Ajax call"I have checked the memory utilization on the web front end server and it is not crossing above 70%. Also when I check the browser dev console- where I am editing the workflow currently, I can see the error "413 Request entity too large" to the url ".. /_vti_bin/NintexFormsServices/NfRestService.svc/GetFormCanvasData?IsResponsive=1"Badly looking for the solution.
Hi,I'm trying to insert a larger number of items to the SharePoint list at a time using datasheet view. Have a Nintex workflow on this list which is set to run for new items. When I bulk insert items of count around 1200-1300 items at a time from datasheet view, noticed the workflow column on List view shows as Starting. And it took more than 3 hours to complete the workflow on all these 1300 items.Is it a normal behavior of Nintex when being triggered for a larger amount of items at a time? Or anything wrong with my workflow/ config setup?Workflow actions are: Check for the matching item on other List using a particular list column. If a matching item is found on List B, workflow updates that item. Otherwise, the workflow creates a new item in List B.When the workflow is running for 5-10 items at a time, I see the workflow is not taking much time. Noticed the delay when bulk inserted 1000+ items at a time.

Using jQuery how do I get the value of a field in the last row of a repeating section:  In the screenshot above the Type fields are lookup controls with a class of .ItemType I would need to return a value of "Software".
Hi folks,We’re using Nintex Forms for SharePoint 2013 and our customer is unhappy with the available list item attachment control on the form. I totally see his pain points as they’re using internet explorer as enterprise browser (as many of our customers) and this means they are able to upload the attachments using the browse dialog and selecting file by file. So, no drag & drop, no multiple select. Very annoying. I’ve to say, that we are on client side, without possibility to deploy any server-side custom controls. And we’re using Classic forms because of heavy JavaScript & CSS customization.We’ve injected a custom control using jQuery where we are able to use drag & drop from desktop and also to upload multiple files at once. Behind the scenes we are using SharePoint’s REST and AJAX to attach those files to the currently open item. But is not a good solution as updating the item while the item is open, would cause an error message when users click on the save button, as
Hello, We do have multiple farms in use and we would like to give the opportunity to create sitecollections from one central location. Is that possible? If so what would be the best way to accomplish this?
Hi Nintex Community, still new on nintex forms . Is there a simplified way which i can use to load data to nintex forms from sharepoint list or sqldb. Â Thank youÂ
The knowledgebase is not helpful (could just be me) and Nintex University only has 2 modules for SP on prem 2016, also unhelpful. I'm building a new WF against a list. Need the WF to 1. when a user clicks a certain promoted tile, check the list to see if current user has an item entered already, 'accept'. If field is empty/null, then display Nintex form already created with 1 required field 'accept' or 'cancel' at the bottom. 2. Store the choice 'accept' in the list field. 3. If the field is null, the user views the form and selects 'accept' then the form needs to close and redirect the user to a document library. 4. If the user selects 'cancel', the form closes, no redirection. 5. Next time/after user has selected 'accept' the user clicks the promoted tile, the user can proceed directly to doclib (by passing the form).Â
When Nintex is enabled in a site collection, the 'Print to PDF' button shows on all lists even if not converted to using a Nintex form. Previously this button worked to print standard list form but it seems this is no longer working. When the button is clicked the console displays 'Uncaught ReferenceError: NWF is not defined' my guess is that NWF is some function for Nintex Work Flow. If the form is actually a Nintex form it is working fine. How do I get the print feature working on a standard form?
I'm looking to populate a field on a Nintex Form with the users Public IP Address. I have found several examples of how to do this with javascript but I am unable to convert it over into the Nintex form. Our SharePoint environment is 2019 and on Prem so method 1 below is doing a postback which will not work since the site is internal and example 2 also throws an error so the alert never firesExample 1<script type="application/javascript">function getIP(json) {document.write("My public IP address is: ", json.ip);}</script><script type="application/javascript" src="https://api.ipify.org?format=jsonp&callback=getIP"></script> Example 2const xhttp = new XMLHttpRequest();xhttp.onload = function() {alert(this.responseText);}xhttp.open("GET", "https://api.ipify.org/", true);xhttp.send();

Hi,  I'm trying to build a form that sends an email notification depending on how many fields you tick and further filter the recipients before sending an email.  I have a field that is multiple choice and multi-select (Fruits field choice). An email will be triggered depending on the choices. Let's say the Fruits field option has the following items that can be selected.  Apple, Orange, Grapes, Banana, Watermelon, Kiwi Then, another field to choose on when it should be deliveredMorning, Noon, Evening*Note: Each option per fruit per time will trigger different emails.  (i.e. if user selects Apple, it will have unique emails for Morning - person 1 Noon - person 2 Evening - person 3  If for example, the user selects apple and then noon this will trigger an email to person 2. Additionally the user can also select multiple fruits, then select which time it will be delivered.  (i.e. if user selects Banana, it will have unique emails for Morning - person 4 Noon - person 5 Evening - person 6Â
