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 […]
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 […]
Given that in some parts of the world, we are currently in the final month of the fiscal quarter, I thought this would be a great post. I recently was asked if it’s possible figure out what fiscal quarter you’re currently in, using Nintex Workflow. I thought that this is something people could reuse in […]
Calculating the size of a Nintex Workflow collection variable is not hard to do. There is a Collection Operation action and it can be configured to do a Count on a collection variable and store the result in a Number variable. To get half of that number is also quite simple, in that there is […]
It sounds like this might be difficult, but as it turns out, it’s really not bad at all. What we are trying to do here, is get access to the urls of the documents that were attached to an Item or Task in SharePoint. In fact, building a Nintex Workflow User Defined Action (UDA) to do […]
SharePoint 2013 (Enterprise edition) comes with Excel Services. One of the lesser known pieces of functionality, is the Excel Services web service. More information on it can be found here : http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/ms494732(v=office.14).aspx Since this is an ASMX web service, it can be called from Nintex Workflow using the Call Web Service action. This web service […]
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 […]
