It seems that the Nintex Workflow Collection variable can be confusing, so I thought I’d try to shed some light on it. This really comes into play, when you start using the Execute SQL which currently only supports returning one column, or if you are using Query XML and the XPath. If you have multiple […]
hat do you do if your workflow fails mid process? Well, you will have to click on the status link of that workflow and then click the Terminate Workflow link. When it comes to Nintex Workflows, this isn’t always the case. Granted, some errors can not be caught, but there are some actions that Nintex […]
Just because the Action Set action doesn’t actually do anything at runtime, I really don’t think Workflow Designers should discriminate against it. It really didn’t do anything to deserve this. 🙂 I strongly believe that is one of the most useful actions, and also the most under-utilized. I have seen a variety of complex, large […]
************************************************************************************************************************* EXTREMELY OLD POST – Reusable Workflow Templates support being built for specific Content Types. ************************************************************************************************************************* One of the limitations of declarative workflows, is that you can’t assign them to content types. Although you can’t do this at a site collection or site level, with a little workflow design, you can do this at a […]
Can you believe there are people out there who actually do real development in VB.net????? I was shocked to tell you the truth. 🙂 So, during a conversation with a fellow developer, we were discussing how we don’t know anyone who does VB.net development. On top that, what if someone wanted to write a Nintex […]
It appears that there is no easy way to terminate a bunch of workflows in SharePoint. Scenario A SharePoint List containing many items (eg. 100 items), and each item has an instance of the same workflow running on it. For whatever reason, you need to terminate all the workflows. Your only method of doing this […]
Many people have asked “If a workflow fails, or I need to restart it for whatever reason, can I get it to start at a specific action?”. The answer is usually, “This is not easily possible and you would encounter the same issue if you were using a SharePoint Designer workflow.” So what is so […]
Interesting title for a blog entry right? Inline Functions in Nintex Workflow really enhance the product, without having to go to the complexity of creating a custom Nintex Workflow action. Granted, this only works with static methods that return a value such as a string or integer. The one caveat, is that you may need […]
Earlier last year, I was curious about performing some Trigonometry calculations in a Nintex workflow and was wondering how to do it. Out of the box, there didn’t really seem to be an easy way to do it. I have 2 options. 1. Create a custom action that performed them. 2. Build the algorithm into […]
Part 2 – Nintex Workflow – Update XML Part 2 – Updating InfoPath Forms Having the ability Query XML in Nintex Workflow, using XPath or XSLT to translate it has been a great part of the product, but with the latest release (Build 11000), we can finally Update XML. So to get my head around […]
