Hi everyone. Today we will discuss how to use repeating section data in Nintex Automation Cloud start event forms. Use case: a printing company form that allows customers to request various types of printing equipment for rental.A few points to highlight in the demo:Customers can select multiple types of printing equipment in the form Form rules dynamically display the relevant data based on the chosen printing equipment Form totals up the cost with form rules using repeating data The workflow generates a document (a rental agreement) with repeating data The rental agreement is sent off for signature from customer using Nintex eSign The signed document is stored in SharePoint OnlineI also want to give a big shoutout to Jason Roberts for their help on this project. 

 Hi everyone. Today we are going to discuss integration between Skuid & K2!We are combining Skuid’s powerful front-end customization with K2’s robust process automation & data management capabilities together.To digest this information easier I wanted to create a 3 part video series on how you can achieve this integration. The first video I am releasing today describes how the integration works and provides a demonstration of the two platforms working together.Further videos will be released in the coming weeks, so make sure to check back here and subscribe to stay updated!I also want to give a HUGE shoutout to Andy Hayes, Chris Stern, Sam Alexander, and Jason Roberts for their help on this project.If you have any questions please feel free to reply to this topic or email me at connor.wells@nintex.comPart One: Part Two: Configuring SmartObject API: Skuid and K2 IntegrationFor part two we're diving into the configuration and integration of K2's SmartObjects with Skuid.

I added 12 new Yes/No columns to the forms list and also added the checkboxes to the start form but when I go to the task form I don’t see them anywhere in the Start Event Variables list so I can drag and drop on the task form.  I have tried closing and reopening the workflow, refresh F5 and nothing.  Is there a maximum number of Start Event Variables allowing on a task form?  I have 100.  

Hi,I’m a Promaster with admin rights but I’m having difficulties identifying where auto-reply sent emails reside as the configure tab only seem to show on/off functions but not the actual emails that are sent to our organisation Promapp account when for instance an account is locked or when user is trying to log in without having an actual account. I want to potentially adjust the wording or email and also exclude individuals who get notified by email that are no longer part of the team.Many thanks for your guidance,Regards,Ulises  

We have a component workflow running in NAC which returns values from a Person or Group column in SharePoint Online based on a text role name that is passed in to the component. We use the results from this column to create a string of email addresses which are passed back to the caller workflow for use with task approval and email notification actions. This effectively allows us to keep a single master list of all roles used for various task approvers on workflows throughout our organization. This component has been working fine since February and we have not changed the workflow actions nor the SharePoint list since that time. Yesterday July 10th, around midday EST, the component started returning an empty string after querying the list. The Person or Group column used to return the email address for a Person by default, now there is nothing. We have verified the query a list action is not failing, the column in question contains data, we can return values from other columns in the l

Hi All , Basically I have a list and create a drop down list and almost 10 value. If someone fill the form and choose 1 value in the menu, I need to be removed from the list to prevent to be chosen second time by someone else. Is it possible to remove or disable the value if selected someone else? For example there are 6 values in the drop down menu. I created 1 item and choosed Value1. When second person ty to create item they shouldnt see Value1 or should see disabled. Value1Value2Value3Value4Value5Value6

Created a large main WF, which calls a UDA (image below) - which sets the ProxyAddresses attribute field in AD. Can I add to the configuration to this UDA?  If not, do I need to create another UDA? We need to update the “MailNickname” attribute in AD .... (with the user's @CompanyName.com email address).  Also, we have the TargetAddress config in the main wf... can this be removed and added to the UDA (inside 1 or in its own UDA)?  

Hi,We have embedded promapp widget on our SharePoint, when we search using search bar widget it opens in new tab but didn’t show any results even though there are relevant processes for term we are searching. It does work if we search manually on new open search page of nintex promapp.I have checked config, it does have search=True but still not working.Thanks in advance!

Nintex list, WorkflowTasks, has many old items. I need a script that will delete older items from this list and bypass the recycle bin. I have a script that performs this action on NintexWorkflowHistory list and can’t figure out how to modify it for WorkflowTasks. I’m hoping someone has already created a script specific to deleting select items from the WorkflowTasks list.The URL is https://MyDomain/sites/MySite/WorkflowTasksAfter items are deleted from the list, I need SQL to purge them from the database.SharePoint Server 2019 (hosted on prem)

How do I get an excel document to wrap text when creating docgen package?

Hi,  There are four ‘groups’ ( sections ) on my form.  I am using the URL line to tell the form based on URL parameter(s) which form group(s) to show or hide.  Looking at the URL and the form that opens, the form is parsing correctly, and form rules pick up the parameter seen here and show only the section(s) I want opened when the form opens.   That’s the ‘=Yes’ you see here.The form properly is doing just that and one or many groups are hidden. Here is how the field is defined:   The field in the list though shows ‘No’ - should be ‘Yes’. Yet, The Forms rules are doing fine to properly open / close groups. My workflow though, in a ‘Branch by condition’ step is seeing what is coming over from the list for that checkbox-ApplicationOnly as ‘No’ and goes down the ‘No’ path. 

It appears client side logic cannot be included in filter grouping logic. Filter grouping logic appears to only affect server filters. For example if you have two client side filters (1 & 2) and then a server side filter, your grouping logic can only reference the server filter and the server filters is actually referenced as filter 1, not 3, because filter grouping logic appears to ignore client-side filters. It also appears that client-side filter grouping logic defaults to an AND between each one and there is no way to add custom client-side logic for an OR.If my understanding of the above is true, I would like to ask for a feature request to add a client-side filter logic field so we can write custom logic on client side filters, like we do for server-side. It would also be nice to provide the user some idea on how the filter numbers relate to the logic. I don’t find it intuitive that filter #3 is actually server filter #1 in my example above.Posting In Ideas

I don’t know if anyone who has used the K2 Menu System (https://community.nintex.com/archive-25/k2-menu-system-9347) on 5.7 in this regard encoutered...I did notice it since I upgraded today from 5.6 to 5.7 when I checked the console log.All and all, my investigation took me to this page…Has anyone encountered this issue, and if yes, what was your workaround?

I have a simple Nintex Workflow Cloud form which displays follow up questions based on choice fields selected.Example:Choose your Company size.20-50 50-100 >100If a user selects “A”, my form should display, follow up questions associated with this selection. However, if the user let us say, decides to change his selection to B, the follow up rules which should refresh and display questions pertinent to choice B, do not refresh (follow up question do not change to reflect the new selection). Very annoying and irritating to some users. Any idea or recommendation is much appreciated.

We have a list in SharePoint Online, which uses Nintex Forms 365. A workflow has been created in Nintex Workflow Cloud (NWC) which is triggered upon creation of new list items. While there is usually minimal lag to trigger the workflow, in some instances it takes 7-10 minutes (or more), just to trigger the workflow, let alone process the workflow logic. To be clear, we are comparing the 'Created' SharePoint timestamp with the 'Instance Start Time' in NWC. Customers are not particularly impressed, especially considering that we didn't see such lag with Nintex365 workflows.Could you please advise the possible reasons for the delay, and how we can mitigate this from occurring. Thanks.

I have not seen a post on this topic in the Nintex Automation Cloud forum yet. How do I get all task approver comments written back to the list item? Is there a tutorial somewhere I can follow? I have successfully done this in NAC in other workflows where there is only one approver using the “First Response” object, but I have multiple people approving tasks in a new workflow. How can I get all of the info written back to the list item? I’m assuming I’ll have to do something with a collection variable to utilize the “Task responses” collection, as shown below, but I’m unsure of how to execute this logic to achieve what I’m looking for.  Could someone please outline the logic steps if this is possible?  I’d like to use this format: (Outcome) Task Responder - Current date and time - Comments 

Hi all, I’m creating a form which requires a feature to export a list view to an email.The view will be filtered to not show existing records on the table - only what the user has entered in the current session. This is the only info required on the email. The form will be used mostly on handheld devices, so exporting to Excel and manually emailing is not an option.Open to any suggestions. Many thanks in advance,Jordan

Hi I have two questions here in regarding workflow backup and restoration.1. If a workflow is deleted by the workflow owner, is there any way to restore it? Or is workflow restoration a feature planned for future Nintex updates? 2. Since Nintex doesn't seem to support exporting workflows as physical files, what is the recommended approach for backing them up?Thanks

Hi,We’re facing an issue where a form is completed to hire a candidate and the initiator enters the candidate’s email address which is then used later in the workflow to ‘assign a task’. Sometimes, these email address are misspelt and nobody realises that the candidate did not receive the task at all until a week or two later it is escalated back to the initiator.Is there a way to track or alert to any bounced emails in Nintex by which this could be prevented?Thanks!

Hello,when I use the “Query a list” action in NAC to get a list item from SharePoint, the column with multiple users only returns the ids of the users. Is there a way to get the name of the user by using the ids? I could not find an action to achive this. Is there maybe a different way to get all the names from the column?Thank you and best regardsNiklas

I have a complex workflow that updates a Nintex group to match the membership of a corresponding AD group. It works most of the time, but it runs many steps and for 1 specific group, the workflow terminates, probably because it reaches some limit. I was wondering if you can take a look and see if you can help me optimize this workflow so it won’t run into these problems. Here is my workflow:The inputs are the Name of AD Group & the Name of Nintex Group (which are often the same). Action 1 - Get all the members of the AD group.Action 2 - Get all the Nintex Groups in the tenant (because I don’t yet know a method to get a Nintex Group by name without looping through all the groups).Action 3 - Get all the Nintex users in the tenant (because I don’t yet know a method to get a Nintex user by name without looping through all the users).Action 4 - Loop through each Nintex Group.Action 5 - If one Nintex Group name matches the group name we want, then run this next step:Action 6 - Loop throu

Is this an oversight when releasing this feature? Button (nintex.com) I do not see anywhere in the help documentation where in states the button control is ONLY for start event forms. Our assumption was it’s for form designer for tasks or start events. Can someone look into this???? Form Designer for Start event forms: Form designer for Task forms: 

Is there a feature on the roadmap (e.g., under Workflow settings > Workflow publishing) that would allow specific roles or groups to have permission to delete a workflow?Background: In our current support structure, workflow stewardship falls on citizen developers and workflow owners within the business. They proactively manage day-to-day troubleshooting, receive failure alerts, and escalate issues to IT if necessary. Currently, users with workflow owner permissions can delete workflows. However, until Nintex introduces a proper backup and restore feature, we cannot fully hand over management of our 400+ workflows to the business side. The risk of accidental deletion or, in the worst-case scenario, a compromised account resulting in malicious deletion, makes it critical to restrict the ability to delete workflows to certain user groups. This feature would be extremely beneficial.Any idea from best practise point-of-view is welcome :)

Is there a feature that enables alert on instance failure to form initiator?
