How to create a link to a new form

Hello,

 

Is there a way to create a hyperlink on a SP page that links to a new nintex form?

 

I clicked on "new" in my forms library and copied the link at the top.  I used that link as a hyper link on one of my pages to open a new form instead of having to navigate to the library.  I wanted to add &source=http://.... to the end of the link so the user would be rerouted back to the original page after filling out the form.  The issue is that the link I copied to create the hyperlink to open a new form is HUGE and I cannot put the entire &source=http:// ...  at the end of the link because it exceeds the maximum amount of characters.

 

I'm guessing (hoping) there is a more clever way to create a link to a new ninex form.

 

Thanks!

Hi Robert Sieloff‌ ,

I would advice you to use the Redirect URL button property (under Advanced) to redirect to the original page rather than adding the source command to the end of the URL.

Hi Robert Sieloff‌, you can use SharePoint OOTB URL format for new form for this.

domain/sites/sitecollection/lists/listname/newform.aspx

Same goes to Edit and Display Form.

domain/sites/sitecollection/lists/listname/editform.aspx?ID=1234

domain/sites/sitecollection/lists/listname/dispform.aspx?ID=1234

As long as Nintex Forms are created for the list/library, you will be redirected to the Nintex Forms of the mode accordingly.

I got this working on my side.
Please let me know what you can see from your end.
