Following a number of years of heavy usage in one of our applications based on Nintex for SharePoint we are noticing a degradation of performance in that particular SharePoint site. Upon further investigation we found that the root cause of this issue is the amount of even receivers stored at site level (around 60,000)  The followng query gives us the result shown further down SELECT         class,count(*)    FROM        [dbo].[EventReceivers]            group by class    order by class  The name column (Not displayed above) shows “Created By Nintex Workflow Start Action “ and the class column (as displayed above) shows  “Nintex.Workflow.Activities.Services.WorklfowCompletedEventReceiver”Is there a way of purging these unwanted event receivers especially for items whose w

In my workflow, I create hyperlinks for my documents uploaded to my start form to display them in a second form. My uploaded documents are saved in SharePoint Online.  I find it difficult to see that there are 2 documents. I was wondering if I can have a carriage returns between my two links? to have the 2 hyperlinks on 2 linesI tried <br>, but the system doesn’t want to save it. When I return to my action, the <br> is no longer there. Or maybe adding more spaces between the two links? Or other characters?This is how I create my hyperlinks:<a href=”(file URL)”>(file name)</a>Result into a txt variableIn my second form, I have a label with this txt variable in the text box 

In this blog I want to go over how Nintex can help streamline and automate the loan origination use case. Using Nintex Automation Cloud, we can bring together the loan process into one application that can handle the initial loan application, necessary internal approvals, generation of the loan documentation for the applicant to sign and updates to statuses and send notifications as the process progresses to keep everyone up to date on this application.A fully customizable and externally available form makes it easy to collect the necessary information from the loan applicant then send this information through the necessary approval steps.   With Nintex Automation Clouds advanced logic, the workflow can handle complex branching logic needed to determine who needs to approve the submission based on type of loan, lo

How do we get all results to be stored in a variable so that we can later use that variable to send out an email to multiple email addresses?In a Site WF running dailyThere are multiple Sql Queries configured the same (just on different views in db) pulling back multiple email (contacts) Storing in a collection variable - in the WF History, we can see only one email address is being stored (there should be several) When testing the query in the wf, we get multiple results - SQL Query is a successwe want the collection variable to take each email address and separate it by a comma or a semicolon - for emailing purposes. 

Hi there We followed this process to uninstall Nintex Live framework: Then we updated Nintex to latest version, and all of this came back. What is the process to prevent the Nintex Live framework components from coming back after each Nintex update? Thank you

I deleted a Nintex form. Is there a way for me to retrieve that form? I’m not able to locate it.

We have created Sharepoint online connection with the necessary permissions.Quering a list etc. works fine but when I try to use the get a file action. I encounter the following error.Received an error response from the connector: {"message":"[SP.ATH.Forbidden] Error Downloading file contents for filename 'blanko.xlsx' for the site 'redacted'. Check your connection credentials has the necessary permissions for the site in SharePoint. Details: 403 Forbidden, Attempted to perform an unauthorized operation.","correlationId":"0351c111-13c7-47b8-9272-0e264ba9f7d2","code":null}

I know there is an auto-complete feature in workflow designer but how do I force the form to auto complete based on a condition?  We are attempting to create a three-attempt quiz. I want the task form to be “completed” the second they make a 3rd attempt to avoid users from refreshing the form. I don’t want to overly complicated more than I already have had to do with just trying to make a concept of a “quiz” in NAC similar to a quiz using MS Forms. Any thoughts on an OOB solution to make this happen? 

Hello, I have an error in the task form when I try to add the repeated section that was added at the beginning, the idea is to show me in the task form the information that was entered at the beginning in the section but when adding the variable I get this error 

I’m pulling data into a list that contains a “/” but when then only want to retain what is left of the “/”.  The number of characters can vary.  Help ?  Thanks 

Hello,Why can’t I have swim-lanes in subprocesses within the Process Model?I’ve created a high-level process model, consisting of a few collapsed subprocesses, I can click into the collapsed subprocess, yet I cannot add swim-lanes, and this is where I want to actually put them to determine the roles of who is doing what.I’m using process model as its still at a high level and its concept/designing a business process, so I don’t want to start doing business processes until we have the basic concept “signed off” as such.Is there a reason for not being able to use swim-lanes in collapsed subprocesses?Is there any plans to add this in the future?ThanksWayne

Hi all, in my previous question I asked how to use Workflow API to check tasks assigned to a user. However, I find that the API returns all the tasks. If I have the workflow instance folio and the workflow name, can I directly filter the response to get the information I need? Thank you.

We are a Skuid on Salesforce customer and are preparing to migrate to Hyperforce. Has anyone else using skuid on salesforce migrated to Hyperforce? Would appreciate if someone can share their migration experience and any pointers they have for us. Thanks!

Hi, I have looked all through the community and cannot find how to do this, I am sure there must be a way.I am looking up data from a SharePoint list using the ID, easy, the user enters the ID and then the from pulls the data. Issue is one of my Felds in this instance is a multi person column. The data field only shows the first entry.I want to know if there is a way that a list can be created from this and shown on the form. Ideally I would like it to create a table where I could check off who has attended the meeting but lets start off small in the beginning.If any one can help will be really happy. CheersJamo

Hi, I have to calculate totals for currency fields in a workflow.  The form is by default set / meaning each field that needs to be added initially is set to 0.00 as default in the list and set as currency. Yet when on the form two things are apparent.  If you ‘tab’ to the next entry for a currency to add, the whole of that next element is colored blue and written over as expected.  BUT, If I want to skip a field and add to another the cursor present to the LEFT of the 0.00 and then becomes say 8,340.00  when it should only be only 834.00.   The 0.00 isn’t going away when clicking into that area. The numbers persist / stay to the left of the 0.00 and the total then become completely wrong to add. List definition for one of the adding elements, they are all same            On the form

Is there a way for me to access the Skuid icons in places other than in buttons, tabs, etc. An example would be to be able to insert one alongside a text box or somewhere within a responsive grid division without needing another component in the division.

Does anyone know how to resolve the issues with the special characters from this resource we found?URL escape codes (microfocus.com) I was using the call a sharepoint web service action to check if file was locked by a user. If so, it would use a stage to pause x amount of times - check back - then every hour for a day - then daily - before it moved forward to update metadata. I really wish there was something Nintex could come up with to check if a file was locked for shared use, but I don’t see that on the roadmap anytime soon - so that being said - now we are getting stalled workflow instances that keep checking back because the response is “item does not exist” for any folder or file that has a # or % in it.We have attempted to replace %23 for example with $23 for the final URL used in the call

Hello, our organization will be onboarding our internal audit team soon and we are trying find the best way they can audit using Nintex. Our internal audit team audits all groups that are currently in Nintex and we have added them to view each group process. Now not all steps/activities/task will be audited (most yes, but not all) and we wanted to be able to identify those steps/activities/task that don't require audit. Since there is less that they would not audit then audit we figured a tag would work best, however we don't want the other users to see that tag. (for example we want the auditor to know maybe a certain step isn't required by CMS guidelines, however we don't want the examiner to know that because it may cause them to be more careless) We only want to auditors to see it. Is that possible? Or maybe someone knows of a better way?

We are working on setting up Process Approvals/Acknowledgements, but are running into issues when attempting to have 3 different levels of changes. Level 1 - Regular Approval Process Level 2 - Process Acknowledgements (Critical Changes) Level 3 - No Approval (Formatting/Typos)Does anyone have any best practices for how to manage Level 2 and 3?For Level 2, I am worried that Process Owners won’t turn on/off the acknowledgements at the right times. What is the best way to manage this? Are there any reports available that indicate if a Process Owner has turned on/off the feature?  For Level 3, how can a process editor skip the approval process? I appreciate the guidance!

Hi allI am not sure if I am missing something, but as Promaster I can view all overdue risk treatment signoffs under my risk dashboard but cannot see the overdue risk reviews. I would like to know if there is a way for these to also pull through to my risk dashboard and whether i can have the ability to sign off risk reviews on other’s behalf. I meet with the senior leadership team quarterly to review risks and it would be much easier if i could sign these off after this meeting on their behalf.

How do I use CSS to change header background and font color on a group control?  Ultimately I want a dark blue background with white font and heading 5 for my headers for each group control but when using the OOB formatter, it won’t allow for something like this. :(

Hi all,I need to access a workflow which was created in 2017, on a previous version of K2.I can see the workflow in K2 Management, and view the flow in reports there; however, this only shows the steps of the workflow, without detail as to what they do.The workflow does not appear in designer, meaning I can’t access and edit it as required.Is there any way I can get around this to view and edit the functions of the workflow? Many thanks.
