Considering purchasing, what is your opinion?

We just did a demo on Nintex and are considering purchasing it and plan to specifically use it for training requests, purchase requests, credit card requests, etc. If you've already got Nintex in your environment, what are your opinions on it and do you think it'll work for what we're wanting to use it for?

Auto-populate fields based on People field

Morning I have a People field which when a user selects a name auto populates other fields. Currently the fields are auto-populated using the current formula: userProfileLookup(ID,"FirstName")  which works fine but I need another field called 'Line Manager' to auto-populate but the userProfile doesn't have that field. So I tried to pull the information in from a list that I know contains that information called 'Starters'. If I use this formula: (lookup("Starters","Full Name",TestEmployeeName ,"Line Manager")) it works, HOWEVER TestEmployeeName is a Single Line Text box which is problematic because how do I validate it? It's very open to user error.I tried: (lookup("Starters","Full Name",Another Name Test,"Line Manager")  Another Name Test is a People control but at best it doesn't work, at worse it stops a preview being generated.Any suggestions for a work round? Thanks in advance

Lookup Column with Multiple Choices -- Updating Text Shown

I have a lookup control on Form A that displays multiple choice checkboxes from text data on an external list.  The issue is that sometimes the text on the external list has to be tweaked to reflect updated standards or values, but any text change removes the "choice" on the first list (Form A) because it is no longer recognized. Is there a way to save the lookup column's choices to just ID#s while still displaying the text related to those IDs? OR is there a way to save the multiple choice lookup column values to a multi line textbox (the values have too many characters for a single line textbox)?  I could re-calculate the choices on the first form via workflow if the external data is updated. Any help is appreciated.

Nintex is breaking my workflows.

I have a SharePoint 2013 farm (3 app servers, 2 web servers, and a SQL server) and at one point our previous SharePoint administrator installed a Nintex solution on the farm. It has since been removed and now I am getting plagued with issues with our form workflows. Our forms are built in InfoPath and our Workflows are all built through SharePoint Designer.When a Workflow kicks off, it is quickly going into a "Failed on Start" status. When I log onto the server and check the ULS logs the error that coincides with my workflows failing is as follows:"Load Workflow Class: System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException: Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation. ---> System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not load file or assembly 'Nintex.Workflow, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=913f6bae0ca5ae12' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified."The problem is, we no longer have any Nintex solutions deployed on the farm. So I don't see

Execute a JavaScript REST API call to validate metadata about the person in a person field

have a need to validate 2 people fields after the person is selected so that the form cannot be submitted if the selected people are not managers/leadership. We already have a rest services that ties into SAP to provide all of this information that returns a true or false JSON result. How can I integrate this into my form. other than tying it to the Submit button? Id like it to be validated when the control loses focus. This is the actual call to the service:$.ajax({url: encodeURI(uri),//not including URL for security, but the URL passes the user and the minimum level neededtype: "GET",contentType: "application/json",success: function (response) {var isManagementOrLeadership = response.value;})}) Thanks for any help

Update Multi-value Lookup Field in javascript

Using Nintex 2013 I have a Distribution Groups list. Each Distribution group can have one or many Parent Distribution Groups which can be selected on the form in a multi-value lookup . The lookup list is large so there are 2 associated fields for filtering ( Alias,Region). The form contains the same Distribution group multi-value lookup 3 times. The connected  Distribution group multi-value lookup is called existing and is unfiltered. The other two are filtered unconnected versions called alias and region . I want to update the existing lookup with selections from alias and region lookup. How can this be done in the form so that the connected lookup contains and saves all selections.

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.

Ever growing latest version history comment, how do I get only the very last?

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?

Nintex Form Error: NF.PeoplePickerAPI is not a constructor

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.

How can I print out the status of outstanding items?

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?

List Lookup control on site workflow start form error

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

Lookup field showing up as blank when using JavaScript “Filter Large Dropdown” solution

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.

Basic workflow that will create its own task list when published

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

Send notification to specific people based on a column of a SharePoint list

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.

Distance between radio controls at Display mode

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
