A little while ago I discovered some Javascript libraries that I found quite easy to use, called SPAPI. They let you make web service calls to the SharePoint Web Services from Javascript. You can download the JS libraries here: Download Libraries The aim is to have a Nintex Form that on load, pulls out some […]
It’s always fun to work with html controls, jQuery and trying to do some calculations. If you have encountered a need to do some date calculations or maybe in the future you find this need, hopefully this post will make it a little easier. The aim here is to have one DatePicker control on our […]
As I work through a process of automating my blog announcements using Nintex Workflow, I’ve hit a few snags. First was the previous post – Nintex Workflow URL Encoding User Defined Action. I’ll be sharing my findings in automating this process through some posts on here, and hopefully breaking it up into User Defined Actions […]
After many moons, I finally decided to sit down and automate some work that I regulary did manually. One of the steps required a url to be encoded so I could post it to another site. There’s no action in Nintex Workflow to encode a url this way, so the option was to either develop […]
A new addition to the PowerShell script for Nintex Workflow that I’ve been working on, so that you can get a report of the total number of actions in a workflow and also how many times each type of action is used.

There’s not much to say about this post. I had been asked about pulling our Query String values from a Nintex Form. It’s actually not that hard. The following is a little code that you can put into the Custom Javascript section of the form settings. In the above example, I’m looking for a name,value […]
If you haven’t seen Nintex Forms, go and either download a trial or a hosted trial. You’ll find that if you have any number of fields in your list and generate a Nintex Form for it, it will automatically generate a visually appealing, user friendly form. It’s a very quick and easy way to have […]
Cookies are a common technology used when filling in forms online (and they have other uses). I found a common theme in some of the forms I was designing using Nintex Forms and I thought I’d utilize cookies to store some information on the client machine, so that the user wouldn’t have to retype the same thing […]
Some of you may be using the “Set Workflow Status” action in Nintex Workflow, which allows you to create custom workflow statuses (statii?). I just had a need to find out what status codes sharePoint thinks are available for my workflow, since there seemed to be a mismatch between the status I was setting, and […]
