Keeping record of every form submitted? (Sharepoint + Nintex)

I have a workflow where it starts off by a nintex form submit, then goes to another form, then another, until the last form is filled out. It starts off with an initial nintex form, and then task forms created using the “assign a task to multiple users” action. Is there a way to keep record of these forms on sharepoint?

Pass SharePoint Online Parameters to a SharePoint Update List Item Workflow

How do I pass my SPO parameters, such as the ID of a Document Library List to my SharePoint Update List Workflow?  I click on the Nintex but (orange and white) and then no workflows show up to select. I would like to select a record in my SharePoint Online Document Library and then pass the ID of the record that I want to edit to the workflow. How would I do this?

Storing Nintex forms in a folder

Lets say I have a sharepoint library with a folder. Is it possible in Nintex Automation cloud to store each form of the workflow in that folder. The initial start form, as well as each task form created off the ‘Assign a task to multiple users’ block.

Workflow continues to run on delete list item

I’m using Nintex Workflow Automation Cloud and I was surprised that workflows continue to run on deleted list items from Sharepoint Online. Even approvers are still getting assigned tasks. Of course when they click the link to go to the completed form, they get a “no item exists” message. Is this normal? Shouldn’t the workflow stop running if the item it’s running off of has been deleted? It’s a pain to go into the “instances” and try to track down the specific one to terminate and a nuisance to the business users. Any suggestions on a better/easier way to manage this?

People picker assign task

I have a form where the user needs to select the reviewer using a people picker object.  When using this collection as the ‘assignees’ for a task in the workflow, it throws an error: [Task.FailureInitiatingTask] Failed to initiate task I also tried extracting the e-mail from the user collection and this also doesn’t work.This seems like it should work natively since it is picking from valid NAC users, and it allows you to select the collection for the ‘assignees’ field in tasks.  What am I missing?

Request Ticketing system - creating a view only specific people can see

I am building a request ticketing system via SharePoint and Nintex, and want a list that only supervisors can see, and I want them to only see requests sent to them specifically. I am using a Nintex form that populates a requests list I created in SharePoint.My original idea was just to use the same list, on 2 different pages. The problem is that even if I create a specific view, if I default it to a view, it defaults it to both. I want one view to be a regular requests list that everyone can see the requests they’ve submitted, and another be a supervisor only list.The next idea was to create 2 different lists, but have the same data in them. I have been playing around with this, but since I have my start event as a new list item creation, I cannot find an easy way to populate a different list with one list already.

Form plugin code -- getMetaConfig(): Promise NintexPlugin versus Promise PluginContract

I started a form plugin C# / Lit project using the Nintex Form Plugin Starter project available at https://github.com/NTX-XT/ntx-form-plugin-starterand it has this line,export class PageHighlight extends LitElement {    static getMetaConfig = (): Promise<PluginContract> | PluginContract => config; and I used it to build a web component that allows a user to select a date from the calendar. I now want to store the selected date for use in the form or workflow, so I am trying to follow the example code at https://help.nintex.com/en-US/formplugins/Examples/CreatePlugin_MaterialTextField.htmwhich tells me to insert this line,static getMetaConfig(): Promise<NintexPlugin> | NintexPluginAs you can see, it uses Promise<NintexPlugin> instead of Promise<PluginContract>.So which one do I use, and what is the difference between them?Where is the documentation on how to use getMetaConfig?

Error Handling - New Release

Error handling Error handling can now be enabled for workflows. When a workflow encounters a recoverable error, the instance will pause, allowing users to investigate, remediate, and resume the instance from the point of failure. The failing action can be rerun. For more information, see the Error handling help topic.Can someone elaborate on which actions are available for the new “Resolve instance” feature? I attempted to test this and it’s not working for assign a task to multiple users or the branch by value actions. Should it be working with these two actions?‘Note: It would be helpful if a list of recoverable errors associated to which actions (for now) is listed in the help documentation. I would think the above actions would be acceptable for error handling considering, we could update the workflow and just click “resume”. Change error handling settings (nintex.com)

NAC Task form fields don't update

Hello,I am using an approval task in nintex automation cloud to assign to users to approve forms. When a user submits a form the workflow fires off and uses a branch by stage. It:1.) Goes to Manager to approve and the manager can either select      Approve, Changes needed or RejectIf Changes needed is selected, it will push out a notification to the person who filled out the form to make their changes and then they click a toggle button stating they made their changes and click submit. The task form then circles back around to the manager to see if they made the correction but the corrections don’t update on the task form… only in the original form does the change show.How do you get the fields in the task form to update jus like the form?

JS Insert in NAC form - how to work with elements

I saw this new form plugin in the Nintex Gallery -  https://gallery.nintex.com/t/js-insert and I was able to get the example Javascript code to work (Character Counter, expand on focus, change color on hover).  I learned how to identify the Nintex control that I want to modify and some events (like  keyup and hover) that can trigger the modification.  But now I want to expand that for use in other parts. I could really use a Javascript “cheat sheet” that explains all the different trigger events I can use in these functions and all the ways to attach it to an element on the form. Example- I want to make dynamic dropdowns (aka cascading / dependent dropdowns) that populate based on other data selections on the form.  I first tried using the Nintex “Choice” controls but I don’t know how to manipulate those with Javascript. I next tried adding an HTML “select” tag in a Label control.  It displays the dropdown but I have not been able to modify it.  Here is what I have so far.  Let me know

How are timezones handled in NAC Data Tables DateTime columns?

Question on datetime columns in Nintex Data Tables and timezones.I can’t see any reference or configuration for timezone in either the table / column settings or in the documentation.I’ll have forms that are AEST (Sydney) timezone. Do I need to do any timezone conversion when evaluating or storing the values?As a use case I have a table ‘FormOpenClose’which has columns for name, open (DateTime) and close (DateTime).The idea being when the form loads it gather these values for a single row from the table and a form rule would control if the groups on form are visible and if the submit button works.The tenant workflow regional settings are configured for Australia / Sydney as my timezone. So a question of what timezone is used to store the datetimes in the table and what happens when we retrieve the values? (@Chris_Ben thought I’d tag you on this post given the Data / Tables blog post you have written and you might have further info)

How can I resubmit a rejected workflow in NAC?

Hi gurus!We am looking to create a workflow for Purchase Requisitions that will need to go to multiple people for approval - based on value.If one of those approvers rejects the request, we want the workflow to back to the originator so they can rework and then resubmit the request.I have seen previous questions relating to this, but they are several years old and links to documents are no longer valid.I also see references to State Machines, but have no idea how to do this in NAC! Thanks
