Continued Access to SharePoint

I receive the following message when I access one of the important SharePoints: I don’t know who owns this SharePoint and I do not have access to the owners list to ask if this SharePoint will continue to be accessible to me and all other IOL and third party users. Is there something each user needs to do to be able to access this SharePoint during the migration process?

How to upgrade Query XML action that used XSLT to process the XML

We are upgrading from SharePoint 2013 to Nintex Automation Cloud.  We have several Query XML functions that formatted the XML data in a column tied to a repeating section into an HTML table that could be added to the body of an email using an XSLT template.  After the upgrade, the option to process the query using XSLT is no longer available in the Nintex Automation Cloud action for Query XML.  Does anyone know the best way to accomplish the same thing in Nintex Automation Cloud?

Person field greyed out after upgrade

I have a workflow that was in O365 that I am trying to upgrade to NWC. Everything went pretty well except two fields/variables. In SharePoint I have a list that has two fields that are people fields. They are single select that pick from two different SharePoint groups. After the upgrade, I can’t select that field because it is greyed out. I have a third field in SharePoint that is multiselect people field that works just fine. Can someone point me in the direction of how to get the email address of the people picker fields?

Update a Choice Column in a flow

Hello, I have a "choice" column in a workflow that only gets updating in a task. After the task is completed, I want to display the choice that was selected in the same column in the list view in SharePoint. I'm struggling to achieve this in Nintex Automate Cloud, it was very easy to do in O365 as I set the column to be connected to "same column" in the form settings. I tried the following:Create a form variable and then use the Update Item action It doesn't allow me to select my form variable in the Update Item action for this column (I'm assuming it's because it's a choice column and not a text/string column) Query the list where this column is "after" the Task is completed and then use the Update Item action Same issue as above, won't allow me to select what I need from the Query results  Here is a screenshot of what I am trying to do via an Update Item action: Any help or insight is greatly appreciated!Thanks

Update List Item clarification

While using the tool for upgrading, I'm referring to the "How to" documentation for the current item context. Specifically in use with Update List Item action. I need clarification on two things:1) It says the condition should be set to List Item ID is equal to integer Start Event Variable ID. I didn't have a Start Event Variable called ID, so I created one. I don't have another action setting the variable to a value though, how will that work? I might be mis-understanding the documentation. 2) It mentions having an ouput variable, can someone provide a little more context in how I would use the output variable when updating a list item? Any insight is greatly appreciatedThanks

It looks like you no longer have to do that?Repeating data is now supported by the Generate Document action in NWC. You do have to create the basic structure in your template document to display the repeating data and paste the start tag and repeating data tags in the appropriate locations in the template.

Upgrade Center Coaching Session Q&A - October 2021

Upgrade Center Coaching SessionTopic: Upgrading O365 workflows that contain tasksDate: October 2021 Here are the questions and answers discussed during this coaching session: We have processes where sometimes it is necessary for someone to intervene when a task assignee hasn't responded to a task. Administrators in NWC can override tasks in this type of scenario, however, we may not want to assign a lot of users as administrators for security reasons. Is it recommended that we use the escalation option to assign a task to another user if the original assignee doesn't respond?Yes, escalation is a perfect way to handle these situations. Another option could be to allow the original task assignee to delegate the task. Task delegation functionality is on the roadmap for NWC and will allow users to delegate tasks in My Nintex or on the tasks page. In the meantime, you could add 'Delegate' as an outcome on the task. Then you could add a control on the task form to allow the user to specify w

Upgrade Center Coaching SessionTopic: NWC Overview for Nintex for Office 365 UsersDate: September 2021 Here are the questions and answers discussed during this coaching session: What happens when Assign a task and Start a task process actions get upgraded? What actions are they mapped to in NWC?Assign a task actions in O365 are converted to Assign a task actions in NWC. Start a task process actions in O365 are converted to Assign a task to multiple users actions in NWC. What happens after upgrade when an Assign a task action in O365 is assigned to multiple users?It is not possible to add multiple users to the participant setting of an O365 Assign a task action. It is possible to add a SharePoint group as the participant. If this is the case, the assignees will need to be configured in the NWC action after upgrade because SharePoint group references is not available in NWC. When identity federation is set up, are users added automatically?Users are all automatically given participant ac
