Hello everyone!
 

This is my first post on the forum and I am still a novice/rookie at NINTEX for Sharepoint.

At my work I am building a Sharepoint site which has 2 lists:

 

  1. List_courses: It contains the names, startdate, end date and a date on which to subscribing students should be informed via email (inform_date)
  2. List_students: This list contains the name, contact details of the students and to which course they subscribed. The course of this list is connected to list_courses.

For the list_students I created a NINTEX form and a NINTEX form workflow. In the NINTEX form workflow I want to put in a pause for duration. The workflow has to be paused until the inform_date from the List_Courses is reached. Somehow I doing it wrong and the action of Pause for duration is not working how it should be.

Could you advice me what I should fill in below at A, B, C, D and E? We use NINTEX in the Dutch language so I put a translations next to the letters.
 

A big thank you in return for your advice! :-)

A: Select the List_Courses here

B: Select Inform Date (it’s the field you want to extract)

C: Coursename

D: Value/waarde

E: Course (use the button with the green arrow to the right of the box, you can put in a reference there, you can reference the Course field on the own item under item properties)

Bob,

 

Thank you for your reply, I really appreciate it!

After using your proposed settings I tested the list workflow. Somehow the Pause is not working. After the pause for duration I made a workflow notification. It should be send after the Inform_date is reached but it’s send within 10 minutes after the student signed up for a course.

​@BobR, do you have an idea what could this situation that the Pause for duration is skipped and that the notification is send within 10 minutes? The Inform_date from the test was on 10th of december 2024. 

I can’t judge that from this side, you’ll need to do some bugfixing on your side. The workflow history should always detail until when it is pausing when encountering a pause action. Check the workflow history and see what parameter the action returns as the time to pause until.
