Hi. Having difficulty binding to LDAP if the account used is not on the target domain controller. we’ve discovered that it’s not making use of AuthenticationTypes Enum (System.DirectoryServices) | Microsoft LearnIs it possible for K2 Nintex v5.6 application to specify the AuthenticationTypes as I’ve tested that I’m able to bind when AuthenticationTypes is configured.

We have the following setup: ✅ Okta is used for authentication, but it supports only the Authorization Code flow (we do not have Client Credentials flow enabled). ✅ For machine-to-machine authentication, we are using AWS Cognito. Here are our questions:1. How can we start a K2 workflow on an event? The event might be: Headless (no user context) Or triggered by a user based on certain conditions by external system or nintex 🔍 How should we authenticate these requests securely in both cases (Okta /Cognito)? ✅ Which OAuth flow is recommended for headless service calls? 2. How can we make secure outbound API calls from SmartObjects? Some API calls are triggered by SmartObjects that are: Invoked headlessly Or invoked as part of a user action 🔍 How do we securely authenticate those outbound calls, especially when tokens must reflect a user’s identity? 🔒 Is there a way to pass the user's identity token in SmartObject calls? 3. How can we update a workflow step f

I have a custom .NET project that references some DLLs. Recently, I've been encountering the following error: "Invalid archive type" when executing OpenWorklist() using SourceCode.Workflow.Client.dll. The issue is that it works fine on other PCs, but not on mine. After researching online, I found suggestions that the issue could be a bit-version mismatch between the DLLs. To resolve this, I upgraded the K2 version on the server from 5.6 to 5.8 and copied the new DLLs into the project, but it still isn't working. The project works fine on every other PC except mine, and I can't figure out what the issue is.

Hi,   I need to create a Service Broker for K2 Five version 5.6. In this service broker, I have a method A. In method A, there is an input parameter. The input parameter is File Type (Nintex K2 File Type).  When I create a smart object, I should see method A with input parameter File type.  Does anyone have any idea how to do this in c#?Thank you in advance.

Hi I’ve tried to set folio for parallel path task. Refer below:I have two path, one is Technical, one is Marketing. Both uses different variable as stated above. However, when i open the worklist item from email, the two task shows same Folio (All referred to Technical). How should i correct this so that the Assessment IOC Marketing’s Folio refers to as Marketing instead of Technical?

The same query was used by Database team and they were able to extract data. Please advise if any idea.

Hi, I’ve been trying to capture information from an approval task form but have been unsuccessful. The task follows a multi-level approval process:The Originator fills in Section A and Section C. Once submitted, it is routed to the Supervisor for approval or rework (if necessary). If approved, it will be routed to the next PIC to fill in Section B.In the Originator's first submission, the worklist item correctly displays the data entered. During the first level of approval, the Supervisor may approve or request rework. If rework is needed, the Supervisor is required to add remarks before submitting. After this, it is routed back to the Originator (if rework was required), or to the next PIC (if approved).Data is being captured as well for rework remark. However, during the submission by the PIC, data entered in Section B is not captured in a specific table view, even though it is supposed to be displayed.I have adjusted the rules several times, but the information from Section B still

Hi all.I’m wondering if there’s a way I can deny the archival request of a promapp process?Essentially one of the processes I’m reviewing is ‘awaiting archive approval’, and I can only see the option to approve it. Is there a way I can deny it? Or do I have to first approve it, and then reinstate it after it’s been archived?Hope that makes sense, thanks in advance!

Kia ora everyone,   We have been using Promapp for approx. 2.5 years now and are undergoing a review of our phased roll-out of Nintex Promapp - how can we do better, what are we doing well, what education do we need to undertake.   We employ over 400 staff and one of the key objectives of our review is better communication at all levels of the organisation regarding the use and roles/responsibilities of Promapp.   Has anyone undertaken a review of their system or implementation strategy that could share some of the wins or losses you experienced while doing this?   Does anyone have any tips for communicating at different levels of the organisation (eg. Level 2, 3 & 4 Managers)?   Kind regards,   Sherrianne Nation Waimakariri District Council    

How do we configure a nintex onprem workflow to Get and Merge all docs attached to the form/list Item along with the PDF the DocGen will generate?  The final output needs to be a single PDF of all docs (the list item form + all attachments) 

Hi,I have a SharePoint List that I created a K2 Application (with Views and Forms) from. This List has an ImageURL column/field that I would like to use to reference to display an image that’s also stored on SharePoint, but I can’t seem to find the property or control to help me do that.I saw this older thread, but it talks about using an Image control -- which has an Image URL property. This is exactly what I’m looking for, but… I don’t see an Image control in my toolbox; only a Picture control. That control has no such “Image URL” property and only seems to be able to upload an image directly. What would be the recommended way to display an image stored on SharePoint in a Nintex K2 View?  Thank you!

This may be a recent issue, but I wanted to see if anyone else noticed it? I’m familiar now that the processes that land in the Dashboard: Processes for Publishing are ones that have an error in them that requires a Promaster to check. For example, the editors may have submitted for approval a process that has links to an archived process. That would be an error and it has been up to us Promasters to help the editors resolve the error. Recently, I noticed a process that had such an error (output link to an archived process), both editors had approved, and it didn’t land in the Processes for Publishing queue, but rather stayed in the Processes for Approval queue with just a Publish Now button. Curious if anyone else noticed this behavior within the Promaster’s view of the My Dashboard?

I have a form that generates a QR Code in a PrintArea Panel that I am able to Print to PDF using the OOB functionality. Is there a way to have a Print Button that prints the PrintArea Panel and gives you the option to choose a printer?

Recently, all our salesforce connector action buttons utilising autoluanched FLOWs have stopped working when the page first loads.When the button is clicked, the console error shows this.  You have to click on the button again for it to action correctly.core_all.js:2 TypeError: this.dataSourceType.getActions(...).then(...).finally is not a function    at DataSource.getActions (skuidReqs.js:2:488207)    at DataSourceType.runAction (skuidReqs.js:2:508996)    at DataSource.runAction (skuidReqs.js:2:490354)    at skuidReqs.js:2:376659    at async Action.run (skuidReqs.js:2:429459)

I have a responsive form from which I am generating a PDF from a template. That’s working fine but because the PDF that is generated is both internal and customer facing, I’d like to be able to display a multi-choice checkbox lookup field as those checkboxes (along with the options selected) instead of returning the submitted information in a string. Is this possible? Or if I’m overthinking and there’s a better way to do this, I’m all ears. I did find the same question here but the images aren’t available & I’m struggling to wrap my head around it.As a part 2 to this question, I’m finding that anytime I make a change to the template, I’m having to retag every single field and not just the one that changed. Is this expected behavior?

Hi, I’m using Nintex Automation Workflow cloud and noticed that my admin account is applied to the “modified by” column. I am assuming every time the workflow runs through an action like “update item” it applies my admin acct name. Am I understanding this correctly?I was asked why I was modifying the item in sharepoint and I’m not, my thought to this was that every time the workflow ran through an action that, that happened. Can someone explain?

All,Looking for some basic help here.I have a separate repeating section which will gather 5 separate pieces of DATA for each specific attachment added to an attachment field within a group on the Nintex workflow form.Can I then grab and assign that data to each attachment and write it all to a Library in SharePoint?In effect if I have 3 attachments, ROW 1 data will be for file1, Row2 for file 2 and Row 3 for file 3.  But I haven’t a clue how to do this in a Lop for each in the workflow.

I’ve seen with a recent update the I can Copy the data from a Repeating Section down from the start form and into a task, and the data is editable. This is great for our workflows, but I’ve run into an issue in getting the data to copy between two tasks.We have two tasks(A and B) after the Start Form in a Branch by Stage action. The Initial/Default Branch flows to task A, that has two options Complete or Send to the Other Brach that has Task B when they click submit. Task B on the Other Branch, has the exact same options so information can flow between A and B until A is satisfied and they choose to Exit and end the workflow.The issue with the Repeating Section that I'm having is that the data in that only seems to flow one way. Task A can receive the data from the Start form and Task B can receive it from A, but if B sends back to A, A still uses the Start Form’s data.I got around this with all the other variables by writing them into a workflow variables after the Start Form and maki

I have a start d/t and an end d/t fields on my NWC form. I would like to show a message to the user if their end date is = or < the start time. “is not” , “not equal”, or “equal” conditions are not available when comparing d/t fields in this version for forms. That seems odd to me Nintex wouldn’t make those options available.  The only way I can think of is to convert the d/t fields to strings in a variable. There are many more conditions available when comparing text strings. My VAR’s are setup the same  Just so I can see if the VAR’s are correctly populated, I’m displaying the values in the fields immediately below the d/t fields, for demo. But it’s not converting the strings in the same format. If they are not in the same format, I can’t compare them in rules.   Both of the fields are configured the exact same way in the Form and in Sharepoint 

I would like to use an Excel file containing a list of products in a data lookup control to select the part.I know how to do it from an Microsoft List.To avoid having to manually convert my Excel file into a Microsoft list, can I do it directly from an Excel file that is in my SharePoint online?orCan I automate the upload of the content of the Excel file into a microsoft list or into a table? 

I was recently doing tests which required passing some potentially long text strings between workflows. I had always worked under the assumption that the limitations of the Nintex Workflow variable type of Single line of text had a limitation of 255 characters: However, in testing this myself, discovered that there seems to be no real limit to what they can hold here is a input var in my workflow: Resulting contents of input_secretMessage once the workflow is ran with some absurd associated Data:I was unable to take a screenshot of the entire dataset, but it’s just over 7,800 Characters!My question is: Is there actually supposed to be a limit on these workflow variables or are any of the limits noted strictly regarding what SharePoint is able to consume as a Single Line of Text for one of its columns?
