How to start a workflow by adding a new item using a Nintex Form

Hi Susie,

If your workflow is starting when you create a new item in your list using a "standard" form then you don't need to change anything with the workflow.  I'm guessing you've set the "Start when items are created" option in the workflow settings. 

As for Nintex Forms, my guess is that you have created and saved the form but you haven't published it and that's why the standard form still appears when you hit the "new item" button.  Go into the forms designer and you'll see a publish button (just like workflow).

If that doesn't work then maybe you have multiple content types on that list and you've created the form against a content type that isn't the default etc.

Let us know how you get on.

Cheers,

Chris

Thanks to both of you.  The problem is now resolved.  Here is what I did:

1.   First I "published" the form.  (I don't think it was previously published, but not sure).  But that did not solve the problem.

2.  Then I realized that the List was associated with an InfoPath form.  So I disassociated the InfoPath form using this link. 

That did it.  So, I'm not sure if step 2 alone would have worked without step 1.  But problem is fixed. 

Thanks again!
