For a while, I’ve been meaning to write some JavaScript that would allow me to kick off a Nintex Workflow from a Nintex Form. So I had some time this morning and put it together. Not only does it start a workflow, but it sits and waits for it to finish and updates a label […]
When you copy an item in SharePoint to another list, you lose the workflow history. The main reason, is that the workflows that ran on the original item, don’t exist in the destination list. Workflow history is linked to a specific workflow instance. The process described in this post, is about getting the workflow history from […]
Although the Nintex Workflow Collection Operation action has a Remove Duplicates option, it removes the duplicates, but keeps the original. So if you have something like this: 1,2,2,3,4,4,5 You result would be : 1,2,3,4,5 What I want, is for the duplicates and their originals to be removed. Resulting in this : 1,3,5 (I don’t want […]
A Repeating Section in a Nintex Form can be used in a number of different scenarios. The first once that always comes to mind, is an Expense Claim form. These types of forms will have any number of rows of data. The number of rows is not defined at design time, but rather is dynamically […]
I really enjoy building out processes that not many people think of doing, even manually, but having an automated process can really save a company money. This process came from the fact that many companies are sending a lot of employees to the Worldwide Partner Conference ’15 in Orlando. Since a lot of the employees […]
This is probably going to be my shorted blog post ever. I’ve been asked lately about Nintex Workflow templates that are available in the On-prem version, and whether similar ones are available for Nintex Workflow for Office 365. So I took some time and built out as many as I could. NOTE: these are built […]
Between June 1st-3rd 2015, DocuSign is running their Momentum conference in London. One of my colleagues, Sean Fiene (a fellow Technical Evangelist) got to attend the San Francisco version of that conference a few months ago. This time around, Nintex is a Gold Spnsor, along with a company named Smartsheet. Now I had never heard of Smartsheet, […]
One of the best things about being in IT, is problem solving. I do enjoy coming up with solutions to problems. Todays, was around getting Nintex Workflow to parse XE.com data. If you don’t know what XE.com is, it’s an online currency converter. Given one currency, it can convert it to any number of other currencies. Quite […]
Today, I had a very cool question around doing some validation in a Nintex Form, around business days. In short, how do I prevent a user from submitting a form, if the date selected in the form, is less than 30 business days from today. VIDEO Now at this stage, there’s no business day calculations […]
I had a need the other day to get a visual of a Nintex Form, without all the SharePoint stuff around it. Almost like what you’d see if you were to use the Nintex Forms list form web part. This is what the form looks like normally, when I just clicked on an existing item. […]
