NWC - storing HTML table in a variable changes the formatting of the table

I have a large form that is used to start a workflow.  The form has one section that is a repeating section which collects contact information for 1 or more people.  I am sending the content of this form in an HTML formatted email (Exchange Online connector).  Because of the repeating section, I am creating a loop prior to sending the email that dynamically builds the tables used to display the contact information for the 1+ people.  The variable that is storing this HTML is then inserted into the email along with other html tables. When I place the HTML directly into the email body field the HTML paints properly with tight spacing on the HTML table. When I insert the dynamically created table into this same field the spacing is twice as large as the other tables.  I have tried pasting in just the HTML template and not modifying it at all and the same issue occurs.  Whenever the HTML is stored into a variable and then re-used, the formatting is off.  Any suggestions on how to resolve o

What is the equivalent of userProfileLookup in nintex cloud?

As title suggests. The office 365 version of nintex has a nice formula userProfileLoookup that helps to retrieve valuable information. I was wondering if we have a similar function in cloud.

Nintex Custom Set a Condition Action

Using Nintex Workflow, I know how to create a custom action that simply executes without passing around data. But how do I create a custom "Set a Condition" action? In particular, I want to know how to communicate the result of the action (true or false) back to the workflow so that the appropriate branch can be taken. Thanks.

NWC - Storing HTML Table in a Variable changes the formatting of the table v2

NWC currently does not have the feature to insert a Repeating Section into a Task Assign Form.The workaround is to generate a HTML Table using loops  Form with Repeating SectionAdd a Repeating Section.Add some controls into the Repeating Section Filling out the form Creating HTML Table - Method 1This is one possible route. 1. Start Event: FormBuild the form with a Repeating Section that contains other controls. 2.  Create Text StringThis is the HTML Table Header. The full content is shown below<table style="border-collapse: collapse; width: 100%;" border="1"> <thead> <tr style="background-color:LightGrey;"> <th>Full Name</th> <th>Email</th> <th>Department</th> <th>DateTime</th> <th>Expense type</th> <th>Claim Amount</th> </tr> </thead> <tbody> </tbody></table> 3.

Signature Control in Task Forms

I have a start event form that allows the user to complete the form and sign using the default signature control. This form then goes through a task process where the next level approver needs to see the completed signature from the start event form. How does one access the start event signature control file/image and then bring it into the task form display.   This then shows the task form approver the signature image from the start event form in the approver task form.   I see you can bring previous approval information or other fields into the task form but not a completed signature control file/image

Are there any developer tools such as e.g. a workflow cross reference report?

With 100+ workflows there are many calls to component workflows. Are there any developer tools available that would give me cross reference insight in which workflows call which component workflows? Same for connectors, data sources and maybe certain actions?

I have read-only fields that I've created variables & rules to populate the sum of two other related fields.  In preview mode, when I tab through the fields, it also tabs to the read-only fields.  Is there a way to program skipping over those fields when completing the form?

View tasks assigned to other assignees

HiIs it possible to see tasks assigned to other assignees in the setting? It says it can be set up in My Nintex but I think it only applies to the tasks that I am assigned. https://help.nintex.com/en-us/nwc/Content/MyNintex/Permissions.htm How can i have all participants in a workflow to see the status of all tasks in an instance?

Missing condition in Nintex Workflow - Run if

Hi, I am new to Nintex and I am trying to set up a worfklow starting with a Run if step (my settings are in German) but no conditions are offered, ie. the pull down menu is empty and I can't click anywhere. I have watched several tutorials, but I don't seem to be offered the standard options were I can configure the "run if" condition. I feel like I may have missed a simple step, but can'f find where. Do I need to first create a list of conditions somehwere on Sharepoint to be able to load them in the workflow? Thanks in advance. Best regards,Raphael

Link doesn't work in Repeating Section with Document generation

The aim is to get a link to work in a generated PDF from a Word Template in a repeating section.My test PDF generated with the Document Generation action must look like this:But unfortunately it keeps repeating the first link for all items in the row.All three links point to the same first element of - in this case - page1. Allow me to share what I did:This is my test list:With a responsive Nintex form including a repeating section with two fields:This results in proper XML in the MyRepeat field:The workflow is therefore as such:Parsing the two XML fields into two collections. Then merge the two collections into one in order to have them properly available in the repeating section of the Document Generation action:Then generate the document:The document tagger shows me the available repeating section fields that I can merge:and finally the Word template allows me to enter the fields:Where I insert the link as follows: (and this is where I think I am going wrong...)Resulting in:All link

Orphaned Tasks from Parallel Actions

I have a workflow where various people must submit approvals in parallel. However, if any one user does not approve, the workflow terminates. This works as expected, except there are orphaned tasks that were started. How do I get those to terminate as well? I have already set an end condition for the parallel path and trigger it when a person denies it, but the orphaned tasks remain active.

Incomplete list of items loading from Data Source...

We have set up a Data Source that utilises the Microsoft Office Groups connector and are then trying to connect that Data Source to a Data Lookup form control in a Workflow Form. We appear to have made all those connections, but when we select that Data Lookup, we only get around 100 of the 2000 or so entries that are in the Group? Is this a limitation of the Data Lookup form control? Is it a limitation of the Microsoft Office Groups connector? Is it something we've done incorrectly in our Microsoft Office Group? Any pointers on how to get the full list to appear in the Form control would be much appreciated.
