A vendor sends us files daily, Monday through Friday, for processing.  We have an automation that processes the file and runs it through our systems.  Until it is fully implemented we have  to manually change the ‘current date’ in that automation to the last processing date.  Is there a way to have the system set the date to the last processing date when the file processed on Monday should use Friday’s date,  and Tuesday through Friday’s files will have the previous date (unless there is a holiday)?

I need to delete the contents on a defined Excel worksheet.  I am using the ‘delete from excel’ command but it has quit working.  I have tried several options but nothing seems to be working.  The data is in column A beginning at the first row.I tried using the ‘range’ [A1:ZZ100]; the ‘from’ column A row 1 to column A row [blank]; then changed up the ‘from’ to column 1 row 1 to column 1 row [blank]; and finally the ‘entire worksheet’.  Nothing is working.  I can delete the sheet values manually but the following day it will pick up where it left off.I am sure to be missing something simple….

I am trying to create a wizard to log in to a site but when I try to set up the command ‘insert username into active field’ I get an error message.  Do you know what I could be doing wrong?For Step 1, the process of launching the website is working.  The cursor is positioned in the User ID field.For Step 2, I try to drop the insert username command and choose the specific user for the site, but I get an error message:The following commands are not supported at this position and will be removed:  Insert username into active field.

Why are some commands not supported at certain positions within a wizard? Is there a set of guidelines that outline what commands can’t be used at which position and for what reason? Trying to build a wizard and inserted an Advance Command to check if an UI object exists but getting the message to say its not supported at that position.

Does anyone know how to use Parameters field in Run Script command? If I have, say, a python code as in the picture, how do I pass “testInputVariable” into the code to be used as variable a of function testFunction?

Hoping someone can provide a bit of an explanation on why fallbacks act a certain way when a wizard is initiated via the API or (I assume) the Nintex Console.It seems that if, for example, an object fails to be detected and the fallback for that is set to raise an error, that an error isn’t actually raised. Instead, the wizard just fails and closes. I assumed that one of 2 things would happen, neither of which did. The wizard would pop up with a box indicating what it was trying to find, similar to the “Do It” version of running a wizard.  The wizard would move to the Wizard end unsuccessfully section, since it is apparently going to end with a fail, which seems to be an unsuccessful end. However, since neither of these option happen, I’m a bit unsure what the point of the default “raise error” fallback is when it comes to these unattended wizards.  Thanks!

I have an advanced cmd to open a specific URL link in the default browser (msedge.exe). This advanced cmd had been working normally but in the last two weeks when ran the cmd just won’t open edge at all. The specific URL is in my list of applications and had been working previously. If I use any other website like  “Google.com” the “open url link” cmd works just fine.  Any idea why it would just stop opening the URL?

Hello Community & Support,I'm looking for a test management software tool to store and organize our test cases. Currently, we're using the Nintex RPA LE for automation testing. We've scripted the RPA to perform regression testing by fetching test cases from our SQL Server and updating their status to complete upon finishing. I'm wondering if there's a test management software tool compatible with Nintex that can directly update test case statuses and load test cases from the management software itself, rather than relying on a SQL Server.

Hello there, I am just getting started several certification path, Nintex RPA Developer being the first of them. During the first videos I got the feeling that that servers are cloud based, however, after installing Nintex RPA Studio 23.11.1.7 I get the same error each time I try to open it, “Cannot access Nintex Servers”. What am I missing? Do I need to install my own server service? The information regarding these setups is very sparse. My username is Kraftwerk87 (vrc@nextret.net) Could I get access to the community and maybe an advice or two about how to tackle these issues and the mentioned Learning Path? Thanks in advance.

I am a long time user of Nintex RPA LE (Foxtrot) who is looking for other users who are migrating to Nintex RPA that are also users of Fiserv Premier (Navigator).  I have recently had some success figuring out how to handle some of Fiserv’s nuances with the help of Professional Services, but I would love to have a Fiserv peer or peers to discuss some best practices.One thing I’m struggling with is if you are working a list from Excel, and you run into an error after you have already completed several items using the loop, how do you restart where you left off?  One way I’m planning to incorporate is to have all the data in a SQL table, pull in the first item available in a “Ready” status, immediately mark it as “In Process”, and then mark it as “Complete” once the process is complete.  The next time through will get the next item available in “Ready” status as the prior one is now marked as “Complete”.  The issue is that several users are hesitant to use a SQL source, and pre

Hi, I am trying to upload a file using REST API. I have used the “Get a file” action to fetch the file from Sharepoint Online. My next action is Integration - Call a web service to upload the file. Usually for web request, I would have inserted the file inside the request content/body. However, Nintex is not allowing to add the file which I saved as a variable in the request content.Any idea how I can include the file in the web request please. Get a file save the output in a variable names varObjOutputFile2 with type File. I am trying to insert the File on the request content but it’s not allowing me to do that.

Hay every one.I have an question, I try to be RPA Developer with Nintex RPA Technology but I faced problem that the course explain with Kryon Studio and I can’t find it.which tool can I use it to practice with nintex?where can I find it with direct link to download and go on?thanks for help.

Hello,I’m not sure if I’m misunderstanding how Global Variables work, or if this is a bug. Yesterday I setup a wizard to use the Set Global Variable command to create a global variable (Odd that there’s not an interface to work with global variables outside of a wizard).  Then, I changed that action to a Get Global Variable action, and was able to successfully retrieve that variables value and use it in a Wizard.  Today, If I use the Get Global Variable action, the global variable I created yesterday is no longer an option to choose from. I assumed that Global Variables were essentially permanent, but It seems like it was deleted at some point. Does anyone know if this is how Global Variables are supposed to work?Thank you​​​​​!

We’re still in the process of migrating from Nintex RPA LE to Nintex RPA, and one of the features we’re severely missing is how easy RPA LE handled the import of data. With RPA LE, you could have it import a data file (like a CSV), and it would automatically populate a “Data” section with all of the available headers in the file.  You could then loop through that data, and easily reference a property from the current iteration.  With Nintex RPA, this process seems MUCH more cumbersome. It seems like you need to import the file as text into a variable, then iterate through that variable with a specified row delimiter. To pull out a specific property of the current row, you need to get that index of the needed column using a column delimiter, and hope the layout of the file doesn’t change. I know that I could set it up at the beginning of the loop to pull out each index of the row into a named property - it’s just a lot of work that we didn’t have to do with the legacy p

Is there a way to set the Details, specifically the Element ID of a target to a variable.For example, we have a webform where the Element IDs often change because of text in the Header that comes before the first form field. If we could capture the first ID, we could target using a variable that increments from there to target the rest of the form dynamically. Get info only provides the URL. 

Nevermind.

Hi!I am playing about with custom time triggers, and I have read the "A Guide to Cron Expressions” webpage linked in both the console and nintex help pages. I have created a cron expression, but I keep getting nothing in the schedule... any tips on where I have gone wrong? I want the bot to run every 15 minutes between 2am to 4am every day.. pics of expression and then empty schedule below...When I use a cron expression editor to double check it says I am using special characters that may not be recognised by everything, but I thought I had followed the linked guide - it’s not working though..Any help would be appreciated!

My client intends to upgrade to the latest version of RPA from Kryon version 19.1. To minimize potential issues in the production environment, I aim to set up a test environment using version 19.1 and proceed with the upgrade there first. Unfortunately, I've been unable to locate the download link for version 19.1. Could you please guide me on how to download this specific version?
