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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
Sticking with the No-Code standard, I really wanted an out of the box Nintex Workflow User Defined Action that would generate me a random number. Some of you may have seen a previous post I did which connected to SQL server to do it. But that requires you to have some connectivity to SQL, which […]
An interesting scenario came by my desk, where someone wanted to take attachments from the current item, move them to a document library in SharePoint, and then delete those attachments, so that there weren’t duplicate files. A great scenario that Nintex Workflow is perfect for. This is scenario that I think many of you have […]
Thanks for reading (viewing) this post. This is about taking a Nintex Forms instance that someone has filled in, and using Nintex Workflow to convert it to a PDF form. Now this is a workaround and not an official Nintex Forms to PDF converter. But hopefully, it will give you an idea of how to […]
Another interesting question today, on how to convert a Nintex Form into any type of document. I thought the easiest would be to go to HTML. Rather than building the entire HTML in the Nintex Workflow, I decided to create a template HTML file. Store that in a document library and use that as my […]
Recently, my colleague Brad Orluk and I participated in a Nintex Ask the Experts webinar (Click on the link to watch the July ’14 Webinar). This is where we go through a number of questions that were submitted prior to the webinar and also through some of the live questions we receive. One very interesting […]
