From Repeating Section List Lookup

Hi everyone, I have an question that is connected mainly with te Repeating Section part of the Nintex Form. To give you some background I'll describe shorty what is a purpose of that repeating section. Background:I'm creating a from where coordinator will be able to sing their employees into our transport routes. And as there are many of them and they are busy they don't want to fill same form multiple times for different routes - they rather want to do it once by adding new routs as new repeating section parts - I totally understand that. ISSUE:BUT - there are 2 issues connected with that which affected the duplication issue for creating by same coordinator two identical route orders. 1st issue that I solve by checking in the form if on the list (where I'm spiting that repeating section data into individual records) already is same route created by the coordinator - that worked. 2nd issue is the one I'm struggling right now - how to prevent the coordinator of choosing same route in th

Nintex for SharePoint 2016 API for a 3rd party application

Hi all,I'm new to Nintex and have been trying to find an API to get, schedule, start and stop workflows from a 3rd party application(Using postman for testing it for now). I have found this endpoint "http://<site>/_vti_bin/NintexWorkflow/Workflow.asmx" which provides administrative functionalities, but when I send a POST request to it and include an "op" parameter such as "op=StartWorkflow" , I keep getting the "soap:ReceiverServer was unable to process request. ---> Value does not fall within the expected range." message. I did some research on that and none of the solutions have worked. I do not know if endpoint is the correct way to go. I would really appreciate any help!

Generate estimate from a list item

Hello Community, This is more of a general question around list item to pdf. I'm working on a project in SharePoint, where I have created a list item e.g. Now I want to be able to generate an invoice or order estimate in a PDF and sent to the client upon approval of the request.  My Question is is this possible in SharePoint without the use of thirdParty addons?  Any kind of suggestion, or feedback will be very much appreciated. Thank you

Forms: Selection does not show when you open it

Hey everybody. I set up a form with an selection on top. Everything works fine and i used SelectionName!='Area' to hide the areas when switching trough the selection. The problem is, that the site is empty, when i open the form the first time. When i click on "Allgemein" afterwards, the information is shown perfectly. You can see this issue on my screenshot. Does anybody have a solution for this problem? Thank you!

Repeating Section resize Panel

I have a quite big form which is in general able to work with multiple languages. My problem now is that some of the questions are shown or hidden depending on the language choice. These questions are in a repeating section due to the size and amount of questions. To make this form a bit more tidy i put my questions in a panel which is contained by the repeating section with a checkbox to hide all the questions. Now if I apply either the hide and show or switch the language all my questions slide aboth each other. This I could avoid by putting every question + answer in a seperat panel. Now i try to hide everything but it sadly resizing anymore because each of the seperat panels had to disable the option to resize (because otherwise the sliding of the question would happen again) Has anyone had a similar problem and solved in some way?For further information. It's build in the classic form not the responsive

Controls, Panels, and Repeating Sections Rendering Over-Top of Each Other

Hi Folks, I have forms with multiple panels or repeating sections that render based on rules. When they render as the rules are triggered, the controls usually end up overlapping to the point where some are completely covered. What seems to be happening is that a control, usually a panel or repeating section, will first render that is farther down on the design canvas, then a rule will subsequently trigger a control (panel or repeating section) that is located higher up on the design canvas to render but it will render on top of the first control. Is there a work-around or a setting that will force the form to reorganize to avoid the controls overlapping and in some cases completely covering up the underlying controls? Thanks and Regards,Patrick

Nintex Workflow schedule

Hello community, I'm thinking, if there is way how You can schedule your workflow with custom conditions? In my way - I need run the workflow 2 days before end of month. What are the options? I could run every day workflow and check if today date is my needed day, but run workflow everyday to check... For me it looks like unnecessary work. So, share your knowledge and experiences!

Nintex SharePoint 2019 Responsive Form Issue with SPServices CAML query AND operator

On a responsive form, when a user checks a confirmation checkbox, I am querying another list using form values and returning documents counts (and deselecting the checkbox if certain conditions are not met).  To do this I am using SPServices jQeury library, which I am very familiar with from pre-Nintex efforts.I am able to do a simple query in a Label control, but once the CAML goes beyond a simple Eq, I am unable to Save the Label.For brevity, here is the pertinent lines:This works fine:CAMLQuery: "<Query><Where><Eq><FieldRef Name='ProjectNumber' /><Value Type='Text'>992633V1</Value></Eq></Where></Query>", This fails (I cannot event Save the Label control):CAMLQuery: "<Query><Where><And><Eq><FieldRef Name='ProjectNumber'/><Value Type='Text'>992633V1</Value></Eq><Eq><FieldRef Name='FieldImageType'/><Value Type='Text'>Switch</Value></Eq></And></Whe

Search ALL Libraries on a sharepoint and copy item if...

Dear Community!I'ld like to implement a site workflow, which- searches all libraries of a sharepoint for items which are saved in a specific folder (e.g. ".../checkedIn/filename.xlsx") and are not older than 15 minutes - Each Item should be copied to a separate library, where those new files wait for further handling.  The "checkedIn"-Folders can appear several times in each library and the process has to catch them all. Someone did this before? Espacially searching all libraries instead of one library seems to be a problem. But perhaps it is not...  Thanks a lot!

Differentiate Nintex Form submission vs Nintex Live form submission

Hello there!!We are using Nintex on SharePoint 2013. We have a requirement on a list where the LIVE form is enabled - if the form is submitted internally i.e., from the standard SP list Nintex - new item url (not from the LIVE url.) we will have to make some updates to other fields of the list.I'm wondering does Nintex already has any feature to differentiate the List item which is submitted via live form url vs the internal SharePoint list. Thanks!

Filter all documents in a SharePoint library by a criteria and move them to a different library

I want to filter all of the documents in a library that have the same identifier (CAPEX number) and move them to a different library using a Nintex workflow.I would like to make a start form for the workflow where I can enter the CAPEX number associated with the documents, gather all those documents with the same number and move them to a library called archive.  I tried to do Vadim Tabakman's solution but it just doesn't work for me.

Web request stays in "Executing"

As the title says, I am trying to execute a Web Request to Authenticate to a web. I was working and suddenly one day, witht he same parameters, when we try the "Run Now" feature, it just stays as "Executing".  It does not show any error and does not stop at any time (I have left it running for an hour). It was something that was finished in some seconds. Its a post web request, and it is correct since trying the same request with Postman works perfectly. Any idea on what could be happening? Thank you in advance.

Task for Group of People, but every individual response needs to update a separate field

Dear all,first off: thanks for this forum. I'm relatively new in Nintex and this is a treasure trove for most everything I need 🙂However, I'm now at a point where I cannot google my way out of the problem. General Setup:I'm building a change request process using a state machine, where several project members have to review a change request and - if the request concerns their area of work - need to enter a solution description and effort estimate. Every 'workstream' has its own field (e.g. Workstream 1 - Solution Description, Workstream 1 - Workstream Status, Workstream 2 - Solution Description, Workstream 2 - Workstream Status, etc.). Problem:I want to send a task to every project member that will ask them to make a decision:a) Either they aren't impacted by the change request -> then they have to click on "Not impacted" in the task; this should set THEIR workstream status to "Not impacted", but not touch all the other workstreamsb) OR they are impacted by the change request ->
