Experience Nintex at ESPC24
FORUM POSTS AND DISCUSSIONS
Hi Everyone, I am working on the Nintex Workflow and Forms. We had built a workflow which has several approval forms would be created. We know Nintex Enterprise has the 'Print to PDF' button, however, we would need to transform or print or generate the final Nintex Workflow forms to PDF and save to specified SharePoint Document Library. We did some research on it and there is a 3rd party tool can perform the exact function. But we want to using OOTB like DocGen to complete this action. May I know someone has the similar experience to implement the same function? Thank you.
in order to create a workflow to update title field with name-field value, on a list where check-out is mandatory, I had to do the check-out / check-in rutine, but checking in overwrites the "comments on check-in" field and leaves it empty.so I found: How to get latest version history comment which, to some extent works fine... it works..BUT:it is keeping all the latest comments, and the field is growing and growing, it even takes the comments from other fields and adds them also. So how do I limit it to ONLY the very last comment?
Whenever I try to save a new workflow I get the error: soap:ServerServer was unable to process request. ---> Column 'NintexWorkflowID' does not exist. It may have been deleted by another user. I have tried to manually create this column in the NintexWorkflows library for the site collection, but I still get the same error. What could the problem be?
I'm trying to clear a People Picker field when a choice field before it changes. I have looked through the forum and know that I have to use "NF.PeoplePickerAPI" to do this with JS but I get through the error when I use the form in "preview" mode. This is the code:NWF$(document).ready(function () { NWF.FormFiller.Events.RegisterAfterReady(function () {}); NWF$('#'+ARCApproval).change(function() {ARCApprovalChanged();});});function ARCApprovalChanged() { NWF$('#'+ARC1).val(''); NWF$('#'+ARC2).val(''); NWF$('#'+NotARC).find("input:radio[value='Executive Manager(EM)']").attr("checked",false); NWF$('#'+NotARC).find("input:radio[value='ETDR']").attr("checked",false); var EM1PP = new NF.PeoplePickerAPI ('#'+EM1); EM1PP.clear(); NWF$('#'+EM2).val(''); var ETDR1PP = new NF.PeoplePickerAPI ('#'+ETDR1); ETDR1PP.clear(); NWF$('#'+ETDR2).val(''); NWF$('#'+ETDR3).val('');}This is the error: Any insight would be appreciated.
Using Nintext 2013 - I have a hierarchical list of Distribution groups with a multi-value lookup field that contains parent distribution groups. I also have a list of individual contacts with a multi-value lookup field that contains which Distribution groups they are members of.I created a multiline variable to record each selected distribution group name and the full name of the associated individuals. I then drill down to an find any child distribution groups and that group's associated individuals.I am concatenating the multiline variable in Build String action then using the final outcome as the Content Control value in an Update Document actionI want to be able to indent text but adding multiple spaces did not workI want to have better control over the line breaks that are being added, even running regex to remove multiple concurrent line breaks did not resolveIs there any way to add more format controls in the build string?See attached examples of what I want and what I get
I have a user that will need to be able to do a printout of the items that are outstanding and where they are in the workflow. We have a form that has a possible 8 signatures and the user will need to know where in the process the item is at so that she can give her boss an update on what forms are outstanding and at what process they are in the workflow. Is this possible?
Just thought I'd share a little issue I've had which has been worked around with the help of Nintex support. I created a SharePoint 2013 site workflow using a Nintex start form.The form had a list lookup control that showed a list of activities groups from a SharePoint list. The control had the ID connected to bound to the variable 'txt-GroupID' and the text connected to mapped to the variable 'txt-Group'. When a user completes the start form (via the nintex start form web part on a site page),it would show the error."Object reference not set to an instance of an object." If the control was not bound to the variables the form would submit correctly. The work around was to remove the hyphens from my variable names.I've been a long fan of a variable naming convention that includes the variable type. (as the example about). In this case the hyphen I use in the naming convention has caused the problem. Thanks to @SimonMuntz for providing the solution.Hope that this helps someone else out t
I have implemented the following solution in my form and it works great: Filtering large List Lookup dropdownsMy filtered control is a lookup field. When the user searches in the filter text box and they select an item from the lookup field, it works.However, the issue I’m having is that when the user searches for an item and there is only one item that pops up in the lookup field, the form does not save the value. I’ve tried JavaScript solutions using change(), I’ve tried clearing the filter before submit, I’ve tried ProcessOnChange(), all “attr” or prop.(selected),etc but I can’t seem to get the lookup field to take the value. I would really appreciate some help. Thank you in advance.
I setup onpremise 2013 sites via powershell. I have been publishing workflows during setup using the nwadmin deployWorkflow command. When doing this the workflows create a task list. However the workflows are so dependent on the environment that when something changes in the environment the worklfows fail to publish THis causes failures in the script since I set up views on those tasks list. I have tried to use a minimally configured workflow in order to accomplish this. I created a workflow with basically just an assign Task action in it thinking that this is what creates the task list once the workflow has been successfully published, however that is not the case. I'm an admin, not a developer so my question to you guys is what minimum set of actions do I need to have in a workflow so that a task list is created when its published. I do not want to use any default task lists as we use a 1 to 1 mapping of list to task list.reminder: This is not being done thru the browser. It's all do
Sharepoint 2013 Responsive form. I am creating a document set content type successfully on my Nintex form. I want to redirect URL to take the user to the document set page. This is possible in the browser by typing the URL/Name which is the name of the document set. The redirect just takes me to the library but not the document set. Anyone know how to get his to work? Is the Name not available?
Is there a way to have a form show full text on a MLT field when exported to PDF? When a lot of information is entered into a txt field users can use scroll down bar to view full text in the form, however when the form is exported to PDF full text can not be seen.
Hi! I'm new to Nintex, so I'm sorry in advance for my "rawness" of knowledge on it. I'm working with a list of IT requests in SharePoint, that contains all the requests ever made. Also, in the list there's a column that indicates the system of each request - we have something about 15 systems. I have to create a workflow that sends a notification to the system's owner when a new item (in this case, the IT tickets) of their system is added to this list. Is there a way i can do it? If yes, please, ELI5.
Hi all,I am using SharePoint 2019 and Nintex Forms 2019 (V.5.1.2.0). In my form, there are one table (constructed into a rich text field) and several radio controls with two options, that are configured in Nintex Forms in two columns with "Column alignment" to "Fixed.The problem: When I select Edit mode, the distance between radio controls are the same that I have configured, but when I select Display mode the options of the radio controls presents one near other.In my case, the solution presented by chenshien_lin (11-27-2017), do not work fine, because the table is also affected by the CSSThe question: Is there a way to change the CSS only of the radio controls?Thank you
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!
Hi there, I've created a sharepoint list and created a Nintex form. I wanted it so it'd email a certain team when it was submitted. I've seen the easiest way is to create a workflow with send email action. Which does what I need to, but in the body of the email I created a hyperlink to the form eg. "Click here to process request" {Workflow Context:Current site URL}/Lists/{Workflow Context:List Name}/EditForm.aspx?ID={Current Item:ID} Problem is when I click on the link from the email it says '404 file not found". But I can edit/view the item sitting in the sharepoint list. I'm using Sharepoint online, Nintex workflow 365, Nintex forms 365 Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you,William
I have a workflow that I'm trying to build and I am a still a basic user of SharePoint workflows. (I know enough to be dangerous.) What I am trying to do is users will input information to a form, NTAG and TAOC are built from a separate list (a lookup list). Once the user hits submit I want to the WF to lookup whether or not the NTAG is of a particular Region (East, West, Central) then copy that information to another list and update a field. The copy and update field functions work just fine. But once I introduced the RUNIF it doesn't move the item at all. The form for input: The Workflow: The lookup list: The RUNIF: What am I doing wrong?
Very simply trying to perform a list query from my onprem Nintex workflow to SPonline. Not sure if Nintex needs to be installed on the online instance (it's not) but we do have an enterprise license on our on prem farm. Basically when trying to do a simple list query getting the below error message. Is there a way to fix this issue. Thanks to everyone in advance for your help. "The execution returned an unexpected error. The Web application at X could not be found. Verify that you have typed the URL correctly. If the URL should be serving existing content, the system administrator may need to add a new request URL mapping to the intended application."
Hello everybody,I set up a conditional start for a workflow, to not start on Modified when the item property ‘Modified By’ doet not equal our Workflow service account.This way, we can edit items without the workflow running again. At least, that's the idea. But we find with this set up the condition is ignored and the workflow will start anyway. Is this a bug or is this condition not possible?I've been looking at release notes since we are on quite an older version of Nintex 2013 but have not found anything.
Hello, I have created a simple responsive Nintex form for the SharePoint list. When I add this form to the SharePoint page I get the error as - "File Not Found" But with the same list if I create a classic form it works fine. Please suggest.
HelloI have a Nintex workflow which Query List to retrieve all Active Reminders and then for each ID of the Reminders it sends an email notification.Every time i run the workflow i have an error: Coercion Failed: Unable to transform the input lookup data into the requested type.However if i run the Query List alone, it works fine (and store all variables in Collection). Knowing that the Query List filter the items having the field called "Next Reminder" to be between the 2 date ranges of this Reminder.So if "Next Reminder" is between "Reminder Date From" and "Reminder Date To" > Send Notification.If i go to the items and remove all values inside the "Next Reminder" field, the workflow works fine.Workflow attached.I appreciate your help.
Hello, I'm having some problems in my sharepoint workflows and I wonder if someone here can help me fix this. I have a workflow A in list A that starts on item creation and modified, this workflow creates a item in list B. When the users attachs something to the item in list B it runs a workflow B that updates the item in list A. This triggers workflow A again (as it should do) but it gets stuck in starting status for like 30 minutes - 1 hour (after this time the workflow runs normal with no error messages), if I update the item manually the workflow runs with no problems at all. Someone have some ideas to what may be happening when I update the item from another workflow? I saw a similiar post on this forum but it's from 2017 and it's not solved, that's why I created this new post. Thanks for the help!
I have a 2019 on prem workflow query against a data warehouse that appears to provide different results when the workflow runs as opposed to the 'run now' option within the workflow editor and the results when I execute the query in SQL. Originally I was getting a DBNull error which I figured I could resolve with an IFNULL statement, but when the workflow executes the action it seems to be replacing a non null value with the blank value I am trying to replace potential null values with. I am not a SQL guru, I barely get by with the help of Google, so perhaps this is just a misunderstanding of what I am trying to accomplish, which is to query the data warehouse and replace a NULL Received Date value with another value as to avoid the DBNull workflow error. Here is the workflow SQL query which pulls back a result that matches the data warehouse; 1/8/2019.But when the workflow executes, it appears to replace the value with the ' ' value even though the value in the data warehouse is no
