Generating HTML Table from Repeating Section using Form Controls only Many solutions have been developed to extract the data from the Repeating Section. Most, if not all solution, require the use of Query XML to extract the Repeating Section data and the For-Each Loop to assemble the structure. This may be intimidating or challenging for Business Users. Here is one solution to generate a HTML Table from the Data in the Repeating Section without the use of Query XML. Platform:New Responsive Form (Forms O365 and NWC) Knowledge Required:HTML TableNew Responsive Forms, Repeating Section, Creating Form Rules. Summary of StepsStep 1: Create the FormStep 2: Generating the HTML Table RowStep 3: Combine Row into a TableStep 4: Use a Label to display the TableStep 5: Enhancing the HTML Table

Hello - I'm creating a job application and want to have available job titles from another list in the same site just displayed as text on the form.  Nothing fancy  I'm a bit of a novice.  I've set up the External Data connection and then also a variable to pull the collection of Titles from the appropriate list.  All I'm receiving is commas displaying on the form. I'm using the the following:convertToString([External data].[Job Title 4].[Records].[Title]) What is returned is: Job Title 4,,,,There are indeed 5 active job postings from a list of 150 or so, so the number of commas are correct, I just can't get the text of the Titles to display.  What am I missing?  Thank you for any help!

How do I force a workflow start event to refresh so that newly added list columns can be used?  I've opened/closed the workflow, opened/closed the start event, clicked the start events connection refresh button, clicked the start events retrieve lists button, changed the start event list & then changed it back... none of these things seem to do anything...  am I missing something? It'd be nice if there was a 'refresh list' button inside the start event options (and any other applicable actions)... with some sort of confirmation that the refresh has occurred... Thanks.

Greetings: I'm just getting started with Nintex Workflow Cloud (NWC) so I apologize if this is a simple question. I've created a connector to a SharePoint online list and am able to query it in a NWC workflow. Great. Then I added a column to the list I'm querying but it doesn't show up in among the properties of the object that is returned from the query.  Clearly something has to be refreshed somewhere when I do this but I can't find where that should be done. Do I have to delete the Query a List action first and then add it back? Thanks!

Hi Is it possible to generate a PDF document from Nintex start form? Thanks.

Hi everyone, I have a running process that includes a responsive form, but I have to change some fields in the form without stopping the instance. Do you know if it's possible or not?

I am trying to pull data from a repeat section control on the Nintex Form.  The repeat section control allows user to add rows as they need when filling out the form.  For this control type, you cannot connect it to a list field, therefore I cannot drop the field in the DocGen template.  I am trying to figure out how to work around this so I can get the data out and sort it.  Any Suggestions? Basically, I would like to find out if there’s a way to display repeat section data sorted by date when using DocGen? I want to use DocGen to grab all the data in the repeat section, sort them by date and put it in a MS Word template.

Hi there all,  I know I am close... but not getting it... I want to count the items in the repeating section, I am able to get the count per repeating section but I want the total... from the total I am creating a rule so they can't click more than 5.I am able to count how many total rows and the section, and I can count how many Sold Option are in each section. But I want to total them. I tried sum(countCurrItems)countCurrItems = count (current section.sold Option) Any suggestions would be great. 

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

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.

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.

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

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?
