Good day Nintex Community,

 

I am working on  Nintex 2019 workflow, I have a workflow with a request approval action, and in this action I  created a form on edit task form, and in this form a user is suppose to attach a document so I have created a field inside that form for a user to attach the documents. 

 

The user will receive a form like below ( which is the form that I created) and attach the documents required, however I need the documents attached to go to a specific folder that I created so that they can be traceable, I don’t know how to redirect this attachment to the folder I created and  I cant seem to see where the attachments are saved or where they actually go, please assist.

Hi @Florence,

In SharePoint, attachments are attached to the item they are related to. In this case, the attachment will be on the task item.

You can use a workflow to copy the attachment to a specified folder.

Hi FlorenceRookie9,

It sounds like this inquiry is for Nintex for SharePoint platform, can you re-post your question at Nintex for SharePoint forum?

No worries, @Florence  - 

I’ve moved this post over to the Nintex for SharePoint section for you. No need to re-post.

Regards, 

-Sam
