Writing to the same Excel file from multiple machines - read only issue

I am trying to find a way for several bots to work from the same shared Excel file. Assume there is a large list of data (Account Numbers) in one column and another column beside it called “RPA Status”. When one bot starts to work an account, it looks at the Excel file to find the first Account Number with an empty RPA Status field. It then copies this Account Number and writes “In Process” to the RPA Status field so that another bot will not pick up this Account Number. It writes back “Complete” once it has completed whatever process it is doing. Ideally, I’d like to have multiple machines pulling in and writing back to this Excel file. The issue is that if I try running another bot pulling from the same file, the Excel is in “Read Only” status until the other workflow is completely finished. Is there a way to write to an Excel file and immediately close out the connection so that another bot can write to it? I know SQL is an option, but that raises several other issues.

Displaying Uploaded Attachments in Nintex Flexi Task Edit Form for SharePoint 2019

Hello Community,I am currently working with Nintex SharePoint 2019 and have encountered a challenge while integrating attachments into my workflow.I have successfully created a Nintex form for a SharePoint list, which includes a control for uploading attachments. Additionally, I have set up a Nintex flow utilizing the "Flexi Task" action to allow for task assignments and edits.My issue arises when attempting to display the attachments uploaded through the Nintex form within the "Edit Task With Nintex Form" step of the Flexi Task. I would like the assigned users to be able to view and, if necessary, download these attachments while editing the task.I have explored various options within Nintex but have not been able to find a straightforward way to incorporate this feature. Can anyone provide guidance or share any best practices on how to achieve this?Any help or insights would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance for your time and assistance!

Access SharePoint Online calculated column via NAC Data sources in a NAC form

Hello,I created a Nintex Data source using the SharePoint Online connection and 'Query a list’ operation. The SharePoint list contains three text columns and one calculated column in which the output is also text. The formula is just = CONCATENATE([Col1][Col2][Col3]). Only alpha characters are being concatenated, no commas or other special characters. I have a single item right now in my list.If I add this calculated column in the Columns section of the NAC Data source, and then attempt to use the column on a NAC Form with the Data lookup or Choice - Single (dropdown view) controls I get a data load error.If I remove the calculated column from the Columns section of the NAC Data source, I am able to load data in the NAC form controls.Is what I am trying to do possible in a NAC Form? If not, can I use formulas in the NAC Form to present a drop down list of the three columns as a single concatenated list item?Thanks,Adam

Getting information from AssureSign Jotblock into Workflow

I have a AssureSign template going out to customers to complete. It has several jotblocks worth of information that I would like to use elsewhere in a workflow (for example, Address). While I can get the completed form as a pdf, I’m not seeing how to get the jotblock’s information.

Rename a SMO field and also update it in SQL

Hi,If I have a Smartobject with several fields, which later down the line the customer wants certain fields renaming. Sure it’s easy enough to do this in K2 by renaming the SMO fields, but SQL keeps the original name of the field in the K2 DB, We are running SSIS reports which connect to the K2 DB and SMO to get data, but the fields in SQL keep the original name rather the new updated name.Any way to update the SMO SQL names without breaking form rules and views?This would make it easier to understand when other developers connect and wonder why fields don’t match up in SQL and K2. Otherwise, it’s quite a pain creating a new SMO (using SAVE AS) and then having to re-attached it to views and having to re-do the rules etc etcThanks
