Sharepoint List item Print to PDF

When we click "Print to PDF" button for a single SharePoint list item, the content is very small (no way to read it) and placed in the upper left.  See attached. I can then go to another list item (with similar data), and the export works fine.I've replicated the scenario in Firefox, Chrome and Edge.

Date/Time-Set to Business Days

I built a Responsive, SharePoint Nintex workflow. On the form I added a Date/Time function. How do I format the function to only allow a user the ability to select M-F days from the calendar that pops up? I found the below formula to add to a rule, but when I added the rule to the function, it did not work. I was still able to select a Saturday or Sunday date. or(equals(formatDate({​Self}​​​​​​​​,"dddd"),"Saturday"),equals(formatDate({​​​​​​​​Self}​​​​​​​​,"dddd"),"Sunday"))

Restricting Submissions based on Field

Hello,I'd like to update an existing form so that only certain people can submit if a given field is selected. So if the Department field selected is X (and only X, as this is a multiselect) you could only submit the form if you are an approved user, but I'd still want everyone to be able to submit the form if the Department is anything other than X only. Is this possible?

Onboarding project

Hello, I'm completely new to Nintex and I got a added to a onboarding project that is using Nintex form and workflow. I was able to update the existing Nintex form. Part of the form need to be filled out by HR, the rest of the form need to be filled out by the hiring manager then the form input should be submitted to IT. Once HR fills out the form I want to use "assign to do task" action to the hiring manager with link of the form. So hiring manger can click on the link and fill out the information. Do I include the link of the form  on the task description? There is a required content type in this action. What are the content type used for in Nintex workflow? do I need to create content type on my SharePoint list or create in Nintex? I really appreciate any resources available in this topic.

Failed to Send Notification. Object reference not set to an instance of an object

Hi,  I am encountering an issue with Nintex Workflow for the Send Notification action, whereby the action fails with the following error :  Failed to send notification. Object reference not set to an instance of an object. The Send Notification action does not fail if I put the e-mail address directly in the action like so : However if I place the same e-mail address in a variable or read it from an item property and use that variable/item property in the To* field , the error occurs.   I am also logging the variable in Log to History action and it is being logged correctly. Any help with regards to either debugging the issue or solving it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Autopopulate people picker when form is in Edit mode?

Hello! My form has multiple stages. Brief description is as follows: 1. Requestor fills form and submits to Approver2. Approver sees previous information from Requestor, then fills in more fields that was previously unavailable to the Requestor In the Approver section, I included a People Picker control, titled Name of Approver, to default to the Current User. It seems that the field will not default while in Edit mode. I tried to change the SharePoint column to a single line text field to try a Set Value rule and that did not work either. A second solution I tried was to make the People Picker into a Calculated Value with Formula set to Current User that recalculates on Edit mode. This fills out the Calculated Field correctly. However, when the Approver attempts to submit, there is an error: "Please address the following:Invalid text value. A text field contains invalid data. Please check the value and try again."Does anyone have a solution to this issue? This thread describes the iss

Workflow failed to get user profile for user:email@domain.com

This has been working well for quite some time.  Suddenly, I have one (new) manager where it fails to look them up.   Any suggestions as to where I begin troubleshooting? Using a set field value, equals "user profiles", source "account name - email address when account name equals workflow data variable that is the manager's email address.   We use a SQL query to populate the variable from our HR org chart system. See photo for the detail.   The manager's profile does indeed exist in Sharepoint and it contains the correct email address.  Works for every other manager...

StartWorkflowOnListItem not showing start form

This is probalby an easy question, but when starting a workflow using the StartWorkflowOnListItem via javascript, the start form doesn't appear. It just runs the workflows without showing the start form. Is there a way to show the start form? The start form variable is a list of users and the workflow simply sends them a notification. Note: it does start the workflow and returns success.  I wasn't able to find anything that address my issue. Here is my function. function startNotificationWorkflow(wfName, itemId, listName) {var associationData = '';var webMethod = _spPageContextInfo.webAbsoluteUrl + '/_vti_bin/NintexWorkflow/Workflow.asmx';var soap = "<?xml version=""1.0"" encoding=""utf-8""?>" +"<soap:Envelope xmlns:xsi=""http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd=""http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:soap=""http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">" +"<soap:Body>" +"<StartWorkflowOnListItem xmlns=""http://nintex.com">" +"<itemId>" + itemId

Hide and then show panels

Hello,In my form I have 2 fields Requestor and Steward that will either hide or show the fields.  When you first come into the form you are the Requestor but if you are also the Steward (Requestor ='s Steward) you will see all fields and you must complete.  BUT if the Requestor and Steward are different ppl then I want certain panels to be hidden to the Requestor.  Which I have a rule that makes all this work.  The problem is when the Steward receives the email they have to complete the rest of the form I need the panels to show but I can't figure out how to turn the panels back on. Right now per panel I have 2 rules attached to each one for the tabs so you can tab between each panel and then the one that says if Request!=Steward then hide.  When I add new rule to say to say Is Edit Mode && Toggle it does not show the panel.  Note my toggle is set to default No and updated during a workflow to Yes after steward receives email that they have to complete the form. First rule: Tab

Using Switch with check boxes on Form

I need to be able to send various emails depending on which rate segment is selected on a form. The field is a check box that can be multi-selected. I am currently using switch and I know that switch can only use text or list ids. What would be the best and easiest approach to be able to send specific emails to each rate segment? Right now my workflow just skips entirely over the switch actions. Please see workflow screenshot attached.

Populating a Nintex Forms field from an Assign To-Do Task workflow control

I haven't had any luck finding this in Search so I'll attempt to explain what I'm trying to do. I have a Nintex Forms form running a Nintex Workflow behind it.  One of the steps in the workflow is to assign a To-Do task to one of several individuals.  I'm trying to see if I can get the "Assigned To" field in the Task screen to populate a field in the Nintex Form so that whomever is viewing the form will know who the task is assigned to.  Is this possible?

Responsive form with stages for each approval group?

Hello!I currently have a form with multiple panels. Each panel pertains to a particular group and stage in the process. The process and stages are as follows: 1. Requestor views the form and fills out the appropriate fields2. Approver is then notified once the Requestor has submitted their portion. The form will be editable (they can edit the Requestor answers/fields) and they will also be able to work on the next panel of fields. The Approver will then have a 'Submit' button.3. When Approver submits, the form will display 3 additional panels, each panel for 1 group: Group A, Group B, Group C. Each Group has to fill out their appropriate panel, and they all have their own 'Submit' button. 4. Once submitted, a last Entry group will review all the information and finally save the record. My question is, what is the logic that can make this happen? My SharePoint list has a Status column. If I hide panels on the form with the rule that it has to match a certain Status before it can be view

Task attachments not appearing on list item

Hi everyone, I have an issue where I've created a Nintex form with attachments. However, when a user attaches documents they remain within the task and don't transfer to the list item the task is running on.I can see lots of posts about resolving a similar issue where you need to see list item attachments in the form but I need the task attachments to appear on the list item!I would have thought this would be a pretty standard thing to do but apparently not! 🙂Thanks for your help.
