Nintex Workflow

HiI want to create a library type application with nintex. I want to be able to check out/in "books", and have columns that say if its available for check-out or not. I want it to also contain the dates of checkout.Now, I'm pretty sure I want a custom list for this but am having problems checking it out because it doesn't give me the option to say "current item" from the "Checkout From: " drop down list.I've googled this and found a posting about how you can not check out items from a custom list. Am I going about this the wrong way?I'm completely new and this is a training project to learn how to use it but I am completely lost. Any suggestions?

Hey Would somebody help with my RegEx validation, please.I am using Nintex Form in SharePoint 2013 and this is my current RegEx: ^[A-Z]{4}[.][0-9]{4}[.][0-9]{8}[.][0-9]{3}this validates the input only if it's like: PAGB.1234.12345678.123Due to some changes, I also need to validate this PAGB.12345.12.123Am I right to believe that this would achieve the above requirement: ^[A-Z]{4}[.][0-9]{4|5}[.][0-9]{2|8}[.][0-9]{3}Thank you!! 

HiI am new to Nintex Workflows and trying to create Email reminders. My Requirement is to send Reminder/Emails using Nintex. Let say I have 3 type of Email Reminder Templates R1, R2, R3 and Type of users as U1, U2 and U3. I want to send R1 to U1 on every 1st business day of the month. R2 to U2 to every 5th business day of the month. and R3 to U3 on every 1st,2nd,3rd,4th and 5th business day of the month. I know its bit difficult to calculate business day in nintex that's where I am struggling. Any help would be appreciated.

I have designed a workflow to run when a SharePoint list item is updated and has a specific condition rule. What I've found is that when the workflow runs it selects all items in the SharePoint list with that condition and processes them all. Is there a way to ensure that when a SharePoint list item is updated it is the only one selected by the workflow, i.e. some way to parse the ID to it?

I m using Nintex Workflow Cloud workflow to get data from MySQL. When I am using Select query, I can able to get only one column from "Column to retreive" per execute. Is it possible to get multiple columns like "Name, Phone Number" etc in single Execute Query?  

I was recently asked if there is a way to use a single Data Lookup control to populate multiple controls on a NWC form with data from a SharePoint Online list item. I did some research on the Community and quickly found a post by @EuanGamble demonstrating how to show a value from a Data Lookup control as a label. Inspired by Euan's suggestion, I came up with a workaround to accomplish populating multiple controls.   Note: Support for objects is on the roadmap for NWC. Once Data Lookups can retrieve whole objects that can be stored in variables to be sliced and diced as needed, this workaround will not be necessary. But if you need a solution today, this might work for you. The Scenario:Let’s say you have a list of office locations in SharePoint Online and you would like to allow your users to select an office from a Data Lookup on a NWC form. When they select an office, you would like to display the associated address information for that office (address, address2, city, state, zip) in

I am trying to use Query JSON to pull GSA current rates for a travel reimbursement form and it's giving me fits!  Since this is a GSA rates query, I'm hoping it's a pretty common usage and some of you are also using it for travel reimbursement forms/workflows of your own. I'm using the Query JSON action in NWC. To test it, I followed the Nintex help to put my JSON into a string convertor, then put it into the JSON Path tester. I wrote a workflow that calls the web service, then emails me the text of the response to get the full response text for testing. Yesterday when I did this, the string converter worked, today I can't get it to, I get no error, nothing, just an empty results box. When t worked yesterday, it looked like all it did was replace " with "" When I put the response content into the tester, I get something like this every time:After parsing a value an unexpected character was encountered: r. Path 'JSON', line 2, position 13."I tried using search and replace in notepad to

If I recall correctly, you could set a default outcome on Form based tasks; I'm pretty sure I've done this with past WFs.Indeed, on the settings for a Form based task today, under Escalation you can still set a Form based task to 'Complete task with default outcome' after a specified time (minutes, hours, days, etc), but I suspect this is a bug. There is no more default outcome, and the task will never complete without user action.

Any ideas on how to get a Data Lookup field in NWC display unique values? In the drop down below we would like to only see one option for Pershing Demo however we see multiple because the SharePoint list has multiple entries for that company.  

I have a workflow setup in NWC that performs a "create an item" task in my on prem Sharepoint environment.  I have a workflow setup within my list library to file at creation.  When items are created via the Workflow Cloud, the workflow will not fire.  However if I manually create the item in the list library, the workflow will fire.  Any ideas on why this is occurring?  I can confirm, the "Start when items are created" is set to "Yes".  If there is a place I can look, I would greatly appreciate it.  

HiI'm building rebuilding a Nintex workflow to into Flow in O365. The new workflow will use Switch Cases with various unique steps in each.Do I have to follow only one switch case? Or can I get the item to follow the next case after the first case is done?I imagine this has to be done by switching the value of the Switch Case field to another value, but is there a more overt/easier way that I am not seeing? If the values switches to the condition required for the next case, will it automatically move on its own or do I have to tell it to revisit the Switch action (in which case, how?)Any help would be great,Thanks

Hello I am trying to create a workflow that can wait 91 days (13 weeks) from a specific date entered onto a Nintex Form. I know how to use the pause function but that would wait 91 days from when the workflow is first executed. I am assuming I will need to do some kind of calculation but I was hoping someone could help walk me through this a bit.

We have a requirement of reassigning all pending tasks of a user1 to another user2 when the user1 is away. We are maintaining a list wherein the status of users can be set.Suppose if the User1's status is Away then all the tasks assigned to User1 should be reassigned to User2 and all this process should be done in Nintex Workflow itself ?Please suggest on how this can be achieved?

Hi,   I need to ask what other businesses have put in place to prevent loss of NWC workflows in the event something is deleted in error. I am also looking at Nintex for Office 365 as we have some in this platform too. My original plan was simply to export forms, workflows into JSON files and store them somewhere but I wanted to ask if anyone has a better solution.    Thanks, Paul

Following on from the April 14th NWC update that includes support for Azure SQL in data source and in forms with data source variables.   Currently SQL on-premises is supported for data sources for use with the Data lookup control. When will support for SQL on-premises be also added in for data source variables?   Thanks, Gavin

Removing a native user from MS Teams works great. But not for guest users. Always returns 'false' as the success parameter.Tried both email address and username with the '#EXT#' part in it. The last variation even made the workflow crash. Workflow owner is also owner of the team in MS Teams. Also tried Nintex 365 but with the same result.Any ideas how to achieve this? Is this a bug or just not supported?Appreciate alternative suggestions.

I have created a component workflow which takes API json data.in my Form  I have group action which takes multiple fields I am able to send the table data to prefill the data, but I am not sure how to parse the rows of data to the fields so that the form understands.example jsonse_medical": [{"Plan Type":"PPO",... "Plan Name":"Plan 1",... "Rx Plan":"Rx Plan 1",... "Network Name":"Anthem",... "Network Location":"California"},... {"Plan Type":"PPO",... "Plan Name":"Plan 2",... "Rx Plan":"Rx Plan 2",... "Network Name":"Anthem",... "Network Location":"California"}], I would like for the form to look like Any help would be appreciated I have tried support and not getting anywhere. 

Currently have a WFC form that contains two signatures where user can digitally sign the screen. I am now trying to print the form. I have created a template and generated the document. I do not see the signature as part of the Document Tagger. Is there a way to get the image of the signature and place it into the word document.    Any help would be appreciated.    

I try to create Teams by using „Microsoft Teams - Create a team“ action and later to work with the team in the workflow. But when I use a name of a team which already exists, the engine of Microsoft automaticaly changes the unique name of the team by using an numeric row (aka TeamName01). For such I expect that the Variable object used as the Output for „Microsoft Teams - Create a team“ will contain the properities as „Unique name“ but it doesnt. It just contains the „Display name“ which i set originaly and thus may bee wrong and so the workflow will fail when i try to localize the team in the workflow later. Do you have a solution?

I have a need to pull a list view from an on prem Sharepoint library into an NWC form.  I see I can create an on prem sql query, but I do not see on prem sharepoint as a data source.  Is this not possible?  Can someone tell me if I am just missing this or maybe labeled as something else in the list of items.  Thank you.

Is there a way in NWC to grant someone the ability to override or respond to a task that is not assigned to him/her without giving them the Global Administrator rights?  I assigned a person the workflow owner.  They can see the task in the tasks list found in the Automate menu.  However the ability to respond the the task does not show up while it shows up for me.  We have this person listed as the escalation, but that is after 5 days.  We were thinking in a scenario when the normal person handling the task is out on some sort of leave.  I know we can just edit the workflow, we were trying to see if we could manage it this way.  

Hello. I need use a Text-short item in NWC form and i need to avoid the user to use nontypical characters (like symbols like &#@ or accented letters like řžŘÝ). So i want to use Input validation atribut with Regular expression, but i have no clue how the pattern should look like. How to exclude those chars and force to use only latin alphabet lowercase/upercase and numbers? 

I have a workflow that occasionally fails because, according to the NWC error message, "A file attachment with name '[File name].pdf' already exists" (in the SharePoint list where instance data is being written from NWC). This is in a workflow where users submit requests to pay vendors. One thing they can do on the form, and they often do, is attach some kind of documentation (such as an invoice). The documentation is attached to the item in a SharePoint list. We've had a couple of instances where the user attached a file with the same name as a file they had attached in a previous instance, such as "Invoice - John Smith.pdf," and the workflow failed due to the above reason. This is happening even though the attachments are in different items in the list. So I guess what I want to do is search the SharePoint list and identify any attachments anywhere in the list that have the same filename as the attachment in the current NWC instance, and if there are any, rename one of the documents

I'm trying to create a Component Workflow which has a File type variable as one of its starting values.  When I try to call this Component Workflow from another Workflow, I'm unable to pass it any File type variables. Instead, I'm only able to pass Text type variables to the File input. The documentation indicates that you should be able to pass a File variable to a component workflow:   Previously, I thought the File variable type was representing an actual file. However, the documentation says a File type variable is the following: "Path to a file. Use this variable type to attach files to email messages. A file path must start with the root folder and end with the file name. Example: /Draft/Contracts/ACME.docx" I have two questions that are confusing me regarding File type variables.Why am I unable to supply a File type variable to a Component Workflow that expects a File type variable as a start variable?  If the File type variable is just a "Path to a file", can this value be retr

I am trying to do a lookup to an employee information list using first and last name to get their rank in a repeating section of a NWC form. The original source data has separate columns for first and last name, but only one column can be shown on the data source look up. I can't use only one column because there are multiple people with the same last name. I created a calculated column that has [LastName]&", "&[FirstName], and it works as a lookup for the employee name, but I can't use it as a condition when I create an external data variable to look up their rank. To illustrate what I mean, I have the three employees below, and the lookup should pull them by name, then the condition would be get their rank, so when the user selects "Brown, Tony" the Rank field will show "Lieutenant".  Rank FN LN Lieutenant Tony Brown CO Mike Brown Sergeant Jeff Brown  There doesn't appear to be any way to use the concatenated fields in the external data variable, only list
