Hello Nintex Community,I need a little help with some logic on one of the Sharepoint Nintex Forms. I've created an approval process that gets sent from participant to participant to either someone's emails(Participant1, 2, 3, etc - PeoplePicker field) or a team's email bin(TeamMailbox1, 2, 3, etc - List Lookup field) with a maximum of 10. Once the participants open the form they have two choices. P5choice, ParticipantsFull (screenshot below)- P5choice: Values (Next, Previous, Delegate, Reject, OPI)- ParticipantsFull: Values (Next, Reject) I want P5choice to be visible as long as Participant10 is empty and TeamMailbox10 is empty, this way MORE participants can be added.I want P5choice to stay visible if participant 10 wasn't reached until after they answered(during participants 6, 7, 8, 9, etc.) I want ParticipantsFull to be visible only if ALL 10 participant slots are taken up, this way NO MORE participants can be added. I'm pretty sure the logic for Hiding ParticipantFull is good( isN
Hi, In Nintex forms i have a control which is connected to a person or group field. For a given email address, e.g. "john.smith@hello.co.uk" how could I extract the text after the "@" Which, in this case would be "@hello.co.uk". should i use calculated value control? Any ideas? Thanks
There is a workflow which is stuck in status [Running] and does not complete.Within the main workflow, there is a child-workflow which needs to be compled before continuing. The child-workflow has already finished and is complete.However, the main workflow is still running since few days. Is there a way to 'push' the main workflow to continue ?Why did this happen anyway? Is this a Timer Service problem?I am not familiar checking logs about TimerService etc. not sure how to.Would the workflow automatically continue to work if the Timer Service is restarted?Besides there is a Recycle Time Service running everyday; would that not restart it?Importantly, would restarting the Timer Service have a chain-reaction on other instances? Would it cause any problems or stop 1000's of workflows? What is it's negative impact? Cheers
Hello Nintex Community,  When using the workflow action "Web Request", does any one know what this action uses for a proxy? Is it using the default proxy, the proxy from the SharePoint web.config, or a custom proxy?  Just to give a little information about my SharePoint environment:  SharePoint Server 2013 on premisesNintex Workflow 2013 (3.1.6) #NintexWorkFlow #WebRequest
Hello, We are using Nintex Workflow for SharePoint 2016 with subscription license.We are having a staging concept where a workflow is developed and tested on non-production sites. To move to a different stage we use Release pipeline that runs scripts that deploy the workflow to on the different stages. In our case we use the Nintex SOAP service to publish the NWF, we use method PublishFromNWF however the workflows are always published as Production. We need a method that will allow us to programmatically publish workflow and allow us to specify the assigned use so that we are able to set Development on the non-production environments. Looking at the Web Service reference I am unable to find such method, there is PublishWorkflow and PublishWorkflow2 method, the PublishWorkflow is internal API that also does not have this option but PublishWorkflow2 has it however I am not sure if we can use it and what the value for activityConfigs should be. The NWAdmin operation DeployWorkflow also do
I am copy to sharepoint action in Nintex 2016 to copy a document along with metadata to sharepoint online and I am getting error :Â The remote server returned an error: (403) Forbidden. I need urgent help on this or provide any workaround with other action.
I have a Nintex form in SP 2016. It has a lookup field. Want to create a Text search for it. The user shall enter a few words and hit enter on the Text box (which will be a field in the list). That should filter the values in the lookup field - a drop down control, which is tied to a lookup field in the list.  Please guide me thru the steps? Thanks.  Mayank Â
I have multiple list who are suppose to work together, but mainly two. One is a calendar and the other one a subscription list. On the subscription list, the people are coming to subscribe onto Events on the calendar lists. I was able to get to add people to the event, but in the case that i am working right is the fact to able to cancel one of the subscription on a separate worflow. So... my problem is how to be able to remove one of the people who subscribe into an event - into a column which is named - Participants, with multiple people. I'm able to query the column into my subscription list and then with regular expression, im able to remove only the tockens from the column, which gives me back nothing / an empty column at the end.Â
Is there a way for a workflow to create a PDF or Word document from content within a form? So I have Nintex for Sharepoint 2016 (on Prem). Is there a way for the workflow to create an actual PDF or Word Document of the form. I have the ability to actually go into the form and click on the button "Print to PDF". However in our process, that would add a step. It isn't a very long step, but when you are dealing with hundreds of these documents a day that step is a bit cumbersome. We'd prefer the form already be generated once it arrives at the last step. It would make some folks very happy
Hello everyone! I am having an issue with Lazy Approval since the SharePoint servers, in our farm, were patched with July 2021 CU. We are on SP 2016 on-prem. The issue is, when an user tries to approve/reject a task through Lazy Approval, the workflow errors out and the user get "Workflow_Name failed to run" email. The same works fine if the users go to the SharePoint approval page to either approve or reject the task. Any suggestions on what might be causing this? Thanks! Â
I have a Nintex form in SP 2016. I want to allow the user to create a new list item from the edit mode. example: Â 1. User creates a new item in the list using Nintex form. 2. User edits the item. 3. While the user is editing, the user can click on a button (Copy Item). By doing so a new record should be created and should have all field values that the user filled out. Nothing should be saved to the existing form (existing ID). Â Is that possible. Â Thanks. Â Mayank
All,I need to run a workflow one time to iterate through all items in a list and update one column in every item. I am simply trying to copy the value from a calculated column (which returns currency) to another column of type currency. (I apparently have to do this in order to be able to sum the column using SharePoint's group and sum features.) My user wants to be able to see the sum of the column. The For Each loop seems to be working correctly. I am storing the Item IDs in a collection and looping through the collection. However I keep getting the "Coercion Failed: Unable to transform the input lookup data into the requested type." error.  Here is my Update Item within the loop. Could you please tell me if I've got this wrong? It I get rid of the loop and just trigger the workflow on item edit, it works. But the list is too large to update one item at a time. Thanks!Â
I have a SharePoint list built by someone else with a blank text field titles "manager" I am trying to build a site workflow to automatically go through each record look at the "name" field ( people picker) then update the "manager" field with the manager name listed in the person User Profile. We DO NOT HAVE the query user profile action available. I was able to build a list workflow to do this successfully by setting up the "update item" action to have manager equals user profile and the value is the name of the person listed in the "name" field. I dont want to use a workaround by setting the list workflow to run on modified, then create a 2nd workflow to update all items when a record is modified which will change all records and then "kick off" the first workflow but it will be a never ending cycle and not the most efficient way to do this. I am unsure how to build this as a site workflow so far what I did was 1) Query list action:List name "old list" Selected the field "ID" and
I created a Nintex form in SP 2016. This is what I want to achieve. The user edits a list item.I want to display a check box or a command button called, "Copy Item."When the user clicks on "Copy Item", I want the workflow to duplicate the list item into the same list it was created in with a different ID #. Thanks. Mayank
How to store the value of a field in another field. I have a List Look which brings the values ​​of a Sharepoint list and I want that value to be saved in another field of another charepoint list Â
We're using version 5.2.0.0 and have a people picker field which allows for multiple users to be entered. When trying to use that field in the To section of an email in a Nintex Workflow we are getting the error message: "Coercion Failed: Input cannot be null for this coercion." Have tried setting a variable equal to the field as a string, display name, email address, login name and user ID and none of them have worked. Also tried updating another column within the same list to the main column just to see what value might be returned and after the workflow ran the field didn't update to show the people listed in the people picker column. Unsure as to why this functionality isn't working since it has worked previously and seems to work fine when the people picker field doesn't allow multiple users to be entered.
I have one dropdown in my Nintex form, I have to replace the old choices from new choices but my list having some existing item with old choices and I don't want to loss of data there and when I open the edit form or display from of existing item then the form have to shows the dropdown with old choice and only new form, edit form and display form of newly created items shows only new choices. how can I achieve this using Nintex form.
Hello, is there a sample video or document that I can follow to send an email when only a column that I set in my list changes ? Is it possible to do this with Nintex workflow? When the Attachment column changes, it asks him to send an email. we only use the corresponding column for the image, and I ask it to send an email when an image is added or changed here. Thank you in advance for your support.
Nintex Mobile users working in dark conditions find the app uncomfortable to use. Even with the lowest brightness on an iPad, users cannot comfortably/quickly switch between looking at the form and their surroundings, which raises some safety concerns.  Since Nintex Mobile is severely limited in styling and colors (no CSS), we cannot set background and control colors. Can a night mode be developed, or is there a valid workaround?
Hello,Is it possible to implement spell check on Nintex form for sharepoint?Thank you!
I was looking for a way to run a spell check in the Forms builder to catch any errors in all of the label controls and panel names throughout a form. It looks like this doesn't exist, or I am not looking in the right place. Is this functionality available, and if not could this be considered for a future enhancement?
I would like to provide a client a Choice control on a form that has values that resolve to type People. This should be limited to the 10 or so folks on their team. I am hoping for a true dropdown, not just a people picker restricted to the people I maintain in a SP Group. Additionally, the value, once selected, writes back to the column in the list as a true person field so that I can use it for task assignments, view filtering based upon [Me], etc. As a last resort, I could use a Single Line of Text for their dropdown, and then use a Lookup to a secondary list to write back the person to the field, but am hoping for a more elegant solution. Thanks in advance!
