Hello,I have a new issue where I am trying to migrate a 2013 On Prem workflow that uses list content type to create a new item but in automation cloud I am not finding the list lookup option how it functions in on prem environment.  There are several fields that need to be added to this new item action via list lookup, just unsure how exactly I connect to this content type to filter each field.  

A user has reported that they are unable to see more than one filter option on a specific for all filters on the skuid page. I have been able to replicate this issue and also verified this is working for other users with the same access. I also verified the data is correct and not limiting to cause these issues.  

We’re continuing to expand the capabilities that Nintex Data supports.  We’ve recently added support for large text fields that support rich text.  This makes document generation even more powerful.  We've always respected document formatting when generating documents.  If you place your tag into a bulleted list, the items in that tag will come out as a bulleted list.  By respecting the original formatting of the document, you can create very accurate documents. In this blog, I'll continue on from my previous blog where we use Nintex data as the source for document generation but note you're not restricted to just using Nintex data - you can populate your document from any data source.  I’ve assumed you’ve read the previous blog which provides some context and some fundamentals on using Nintex data and document generation. In that blog we simulated a council and making public spaces available for hire.  There's a plain text field that provides a description of the public space and that

Goal - scheduled wf to send email to AD group containing Dates and a formlink to a list form.  List has wf to route form through approvals, PDF it then route to final destination doclibs. current design:The Site WF collects 2 date fields (I have these as start variables that are required - I have the Site WF to start manually) then send an email to an AD group.

Hi - first time ‘poster’ so please be nice! (and apologies if this has been answered before). We want to give our Salesforce users the ability to print a report when they are in their report window. I can see that we can do things like schedule a report run and email it to an individual but I don’t want to have to set up every report (with criteria) for every account manager. How can we set it up so the report printing can be on demand and on the selected report? ThanksTerry 

To avoid having to find all the places where a pricing calculator might be used, I had the idea to create a “container” page that I use as a page include wherever I need to display the calculator. Within that container page I would use a page include and link to the specific page for the pricing calculator. Whenever the pricing calculator necessitates the creation of a new page for a new version, I would just update the page include on the container page. The thought being that this would effectively update the calculator everywhere that it is displayed. Are there any reasons not to do this? The pricing calculator is mostly standalone and does not have any parameters passed to it.

I have a form that was created using Nintex. We made some changes to the form.One of the changes resulted in the Enhanced Rich Text Field being un-editable.Why is this field no longer editable ?I have checked all the settings on the back end.

Hi!I have an if formula that returns the current user and date when specific check box is checked by a usedbelow is formulaIF((Post 2 Pellet visual qual trainer==true), (userProfileLookup(Current User “PreferredName”)+"*+formatDate (Current Date, "MM/dd/yyyy"),””) my problem is, when a different user goes to edit the form, their name overrides the original users name, so now there’s no way to know who checked the box initially.is there a way I can edit the formula so that once the field is filled, it won’t override with another users name?

Hi, I’m doing a restructure of our process groups and finding that we have a lot of documents that do not have associated processes but are associated with a group.  Does this mean they are not linked to a process and therefore can be deleted?  I’ve seen previous questions regarding associated processes for reporting and it was an error happening so just want to make sure it’s not an error first.  Thanks 

Does anyone have any advice relating to identifying links that are associated with unpublished processes? The Documents List and Linked Items and Web Link reports are useful but can be misleading as they don’t indicate if a link is associated with an unpublished process (or unpublished changes). For example, if you see an item with 0 attachments, no associated processes listed you’d think it isn't used in any processes but this is only true for published change. If the item is linked in an unpublished process (or unpublished changes) the report doesn't include this. Has anyone noticed this too? are there any recommended work-arounds? or is it impossible to tell without going through each unpublished process to see if a link may/may not be included?

Hi,Does anyone know how to use the “Output Variables” in the Task Summary on the Nintex RPA Console Plus? Task Summary

I've got a use case for a project where we are receiving image binary from an API and trying to display it in Skuid.   When we run everything though Salesforce Apex code it works well.... we are proving the concept by converting the response blob to a base64 string which we save to a rich text field.... and we see the expected image on the record page. I'm having issues getting a snippet in Skuid to do similar functionality... whether just saving to a rich text field or trying to display the image using javascript + skuid without saving to the record.Any assistance here would be appreciated…. have worked on this for several hours.Thank you!
