Slow loading of a form and script messages alerts

$
0
0

Hello,

When I try to display one of my forms in Internet Explorer, I got alert messages: "A script on this page is causing your web browser to run slowly.  If it continues to run, your computer might become unresponsive.  Stop running this script?". I have to click 'No' or the form won't load. 
I do not have this problem when rendering in Chrome or FireFox.

I have checked 'Disable script debugging (Internet Explorer)' and 'Disable script debugging (Other)'. 
And I have unchecked 'Display a notification about every script error'.
But the problem is still there.

Is there anyway to have the form load faster or at least to disable these messages?

Thanx 


Getting error on iterate throw Query list 365

Dear support team,

I have noticed that working with nintex 365 and iterate throw query list is more difficulty now. I need twice as much on steps before to loop an iterate the query list. However I need you help to find out how can get values from dictionary correctly.

I am getting error as following:

----------

Details: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the workflow instance. Exception details: System.InvalidOperationException: Looking up a value using a key is not supported on an instance of 'Microsoft.Activities.Dynamic.DynamicJsonArray'.

----------

 i have tried in "get an item from a dictionary" any combinations like:

  • ‌d/results/({Variable:Loop_Count}‌)
  • ‌d/results/(0‌)
  • ‌d/results/({Variable:Loop_Count}‌)/MyColumnName
  • and so on

 Would you please write an example how to loop and iterate the query list correctly.

Best regards

Alex

P.S: i have tried to save values in "Fields XML" but workflow doesn't work

P.P.S: here my workflow: image

P.P.P.S: button for inserting images in youre RTE doesn't work
 

Export user defined actions using WebServices

How do I export a UDA using WebServices?  When I attempt to use the ExportWorkflow, I get an error indicating that the workflow can't be found.  I don't see any other method for exporting user defined actions.

Then then next thing is how to publish a UDA using web services?

 

If not possible using WS, how can I programmatically export/import a UDA?

Hi,

When I display a Form (new list element form) with Chrome, the entire form is grayed out.

My version of Chrome is 34.0.1847.131 m. Is this a known issue?

It was working fine with some previous version of Chrome.

Thanks for your help.

System.Exception: Cannot find item with id 0 in list

Hello,

I've found in the ULS logs that when I display the new element form of a list, I've got the following unexpected error: "Nintex.Workflow.NWException: Error getting context data for 'ContextItemDisplayName'. System.Exception: Cannot find item with id 0 in list"

This happens for all lists. And the form is correctly displayed, though.

Any idea of how to correct this error?

 Thanks .

Form language performance issue

Dear all,

  

We use Nintex WF and Nintex Form 2013.

When the user has the UK language settings in Sharepoint, there is no pbl.

When the user uses another language (French or Dutch), the Nintex forms (NewForm.aspx) takes 6 seconds instead of 2 seconds with UK.

Do you have a solution?

Should we update our Nintex ?

Thanks

Changing boolean text in workflow email

$

Hello All,

 I am relatively new to Nintex Workflow 2010. 

I have a list with some boolean (yes/no) columns that are included in an email that is sent by a workflow. The fields appear as true/false when the email is sent, but I would rather see custom text i.e. Done for Yes and Not Done for No.

 Please could you help throw some pointers on how this can be achieved?

 Many thanks,

 Regards,

 Siva

I have a site workflow that is grinding to a stop every 45mins or so...

In trying to investigate the cause, and I'm not convinced its Nintex yet!, I've discovered that we don't really do any house keeping with respect to Nintex workflows...

For example: the site in question has 2 lists, each with around 25000 items all with associated workflows, could this level of workflow data start causing me issues...? the lists themselves perform OK since updating the list view threshold..

Is there a list of recommendations/document with respect to housekeeping, any gotchas I need to be aware of??

Thanks in advance

Russ. 

Moving over to Forms from Infopath and how best to calculate the number of days in a date range

$
0
0

Hi

We’re soon to move over to Nintex Forms and WF 2010. We currently have WF 2007 and InfoPath 2007. We currently have a system where users can submit ‘time out request’s’ (ie Holiday, sickness, working from another relocation etc) via an InfoPath form. This form has start date and end date selectors and uses a formula within InfoPath to calculate how many days (taking into bank holidays) that the user has requested and displays that number within the form. We’re looking to set up something similar using Forms and WF 2010. My understanding is that to do something similar in Forms would require the WF to calculate the ‘number of days’ using Excel Services etc?

One issue I can see with this is that the user potentially won’t know how many days they have selected until the workflow calculates it and provides some feedback (probably after the item has been approved). Obviously they’ll have a good idea of how many days they‘ve selected but what’s quite good with the system we have now is that you can play around with the start and finish dates and get confirmation of how many days you’ve selected before submission. I assume the calendar part in Forms does not highlight bank holidays (ie bank holidays for a given calendar are circled or greyed out etc). In practise the user will only ever be pleasantly surprised (ie they didn’t realise there was a bank holiday in the date range resulting in it being 9 days requested off instead of 10). However had they known this before submission they might have requested an additional day. It’s a small point but its potentially quite a noticeable change that might result in more amendments being submitted. Can you trigger a workflow from within Forms that will update the Form while the user still has it open? Ie so they could click a refresh button that will run the date calculation and update a ‘days requested’ field within the form prior to the user submitting. If the 2010 environment runs like our 2007 there’s quite often a delay before a WF starts so such an approach is potentially not very practical.

We haven’t actually got Forms yet so this all might become more apparent once I get a bit of experience using it but my initial understanding is that it’s much more just for user input and leaves all the heavy lifting to the WF.

Thanks

Workflow is not sending notification emails after using "Until Pause" action

$

Hi,

We have a very serious problem regarding Nintex workflow 2013.

We suppose to use it to send expiration emails but it seems buggy.

For first few attempts, it

works fine but crazy things started to happen afterwards.

 

Here is a sample of that workflow.

1. Calculate expiry date

2. Send notification email

3. Wait until expiry date comes ( We have used " Pause Until" action )

4. Send another/Final expiry email

 

Here are those symptoms: 

Now, no matter how we try but the step 4 is not executing.

If we assign any other task then it is working fine, but only AND only email sending is not working

Workflow has no errors and every action is throwing proper logs and whatever they should do. 

Only emails on step no. 4 are not being sent.

Email setup is fine because emails from step 2 are coming properly.

CAN ANYONE HELP US??? 

 

 

 

 

Create List Action Permissions Issue

$

Hello, apologies if this has been posted before - I searched but didn't see exactly what I was looking for.

I have a workflow that has a Create List action in it.  This works just fine, if I am the user kicking off the workflow - the list is created and is accessible/editable to my users.  However, if other users are the ones to kick off the workflow, they are unable to access/edit the list after it has been created. I have been granted SC admin permissions via Central Admin, and I'm sure this is a permissions issue, but I'm not sure how to fix this.  I raised the users permission levels to Edit, and that didn't work.  Will using the override credentials (using a service account) fix the issue?  Or is there something else I am missing?

Choice Column Validation

Hello all,

I have a choice column that has two different options. But I only want to allow the first option to be chosen by those in a certain SP group. Is this possible? I know that creating another column and then doing it on the entire column is possible but I don't want to re work the form because there are so many other things that are looking at that choice column both in the form and in a large workflow.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Temporary Approver Access for User-Restricted Items

$
0
0

Hi All,

I have a problem getting approvers to access the approval tasks. Here is the situation:

  • For the site and list list in question, most users have contribute permissions and a few administrators have approve permissions.
  • Because I don't want users to see other users' items, the list also has some special permissions, and it is these that are causing the problems:
    • List Settings > Versioning: Only users who can approve items (and the author of the item).
    • List Settings > Advanced: Read items that were created by the user.
    • List Settings > Advanced: Create and edit items that were created by the user.
  • Flexi tasks in the workflow temporarily get approve permissions to the task recipient.

If I turn off the special list settings permissions, the approvers are able to access their tasks. Otherwise, they get a message saying that the item does not exist.

Any ideas how I can stop users seeing other users' items, except where they have an approval task?

Thank you in advance for any help or advice you can offer!

Regards,

Mark 

Complete Workflow Task completion time?

$
0
0

Hi, I have a workflow, running two parallel actions, if either one is completed, workflow then executes a Complete Workflow Task, to finish the other task running in parallel.

 Trouble is I want to execute the Complete Workflow Task immediately, but if I set the time of Complete Workflow Task to 0 days 0 hours 0 minutes, it executes after 5 minutes.

I've also tried setting the time to 1 minute, which still wouldn't be a problem, but it still takes at least 3 minutes to complete the Complete Workflow Task item and then another 5 minutes to actually complete the task item which it was aimed at.

That is 8 minutes in total which is in my case unfortunatelly quite unsatisfying.

Is there any mistake I am making or any idea how to solve this?

Thanks for the the answer.
