Some of you may have noticed that SharePoint doesn’t give you the option to start workflows on Surveys. The workaround is to have a scheduled workflow that periodically checks for new survey responses. Designing that into a Nintex Workflow is actually quite simple… as with most things with Nintex Workflow. Initial Requirements Since the plan […]
Ever wanted to have a tab-like interface on your Nintex Form? With some new functionality that was added to Nintex Forms, we can now simulate a tab control on our form. The functionality that was added, is a new setting for the Choice control called “Render as buttons”. This allows us to have a choice control […]
This weeks challenge I set myself, was to create a reusable way of converting a SharePoint list of items into a CSV format. I want to make it reusable, because this is something I’ve talked about with a bunch of people and everyone will have different list structure. Redesigning a workflow for each list makes […]
