Send Notification options are not showing

I've just added "Send Notification" action item in my existing work flow. I just click on arrow button for configuring notification action item, but none of the options are displaying here. By default, when we click on arrow icon in the send notification item, it should display the option "Configure,Copy,Disable,Delete" option. Why these option is not showing when I add new action item into my existing work flow?

Please assist me regarding this.

PS: In the same work flow, I've send notification item in other places, there I'm getting these options.

Workflow stuck when setting decision field on tasks programmatically

July 12, 2012, 9:06 am

Hi!

 

I'm experiencing the following problem since the installation of the April 2012 Hotfix of SharePoint 2010: I'm using Nintex Workflow 2010 with custom forms to programmatically set the decision field on a task list item. Before the installation of the hotfix last week everything worked fine, now 1-2 of 5 tasks are still pending tasks after setting the decision field programmatically:

_spTaskItem[NWSharePointObjects.FieldDecision] = (int)Outcome.Continue;
_spTaskItem.Update(); 

While most of the updated tasks change their state from pending to continue, the other 1-2 tasks keep staying in the pending state although the decision field was set properly. So the decision field always saves the prorgammatically set outcome value, but neither the State field, nor the WorkflowOutcome field are getting updated properly.

// Check if task decision was made - if true, then the task is locked by the workflow (SharePoint bug?)if ((int)stellungnahmeTask[Nintex.Workflow.Common.NWSharePointObjects.FieldDecision] == (int)Outcome.Continue) { _spTaskItem.Update() }
Mostly, when calling _spTaskItem.Update() again I'm able to revive the blocked tasks and the workflow. The _spTaskItem.Update() method is (of course) throwing the following exception: "This task is currently locked by a running workflow and cannot be edited." However, the state is now changing to continue and the workflow is running again.
Is this a known behaviour with the April 2012 Hotfix? Any advice here? The workaround by manually updating the task list item works 90% in my case, but this is not a solution for me, since I'm using reminder actions.
Thank you in advance!

Hi,

 

   Once the form published to nintex Live, you can only sign in with Windows live , Facebook or Google. We just want internal user in AD to fill in the form, is there anyway they can log in with their AD username and password?

Create Item Action Stopped Showing A Certain Library's Fields

January 14, 2013, 12:07 pm

Hello,

What would cause the Create Item action to stop showing a certain document library's content types and fields?  How does the Create Item action query lists/libraries for their content types and fields?  Here's a scenario that's happened twice to a functioning workflow:

-Nintex 2010 / SP 2010
-Workflow created in Library 1, a Form Templates Libary with content types enabled.
-Create Item action configured to Library 2 in same site collection, also a Form Templates Library with content types enabled.
-After functioning for a few weeks, the workflow action fails and we discover the action's content type and field drop-downs are blank.
-Troubleshooting reveals that:  
*The action can be set to any other library or list in the site collection and content type/fields are populated correctly.  
*A new workflow can be created with a Create Item step that will display content/fields of any library except Library 2.
*After saving Library 2 as a template without content and creating new Library 3 from that template, the Create Item action displays Library 3's content/fields correctly.  

There were no changes to Library 2 (settings, columns, permissions, etc) between the time Create Item worked and when it stopped working.  I can change everything to use Library 3 and move forward, but would like to know why the Workflow stopped showing data from Library 2 if possible.

Thank you,

State machine "workflow name" failed to run - no error logs in 14 hive

January 10, 2013, 1:40 pm
$

 I have checked the "c:\Program Files\Common files\ Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\14\logs" for "Workflow Infrastructure" errors and none arise which relate to the file that the workflow is being executed on. They have appeared on different errors in the past, making me believe that logging is turned on.

The workflow in question is a state machine workflow based on an InfoPath 2010 form that consistently errors when changing states. Most of the time it still advances to the next state and completes all the actions after the error. It usually hangs for between 15 minutes and 4 hours. Occasionally it will not resume.

I have created additional Nintex State Machine workflows within the site collection and they do not suffer from the same error. I have created state machine workflows for both a list and an InfoPath form; in both instances I also included a field belonging to the list or the form (a column in the list or library) that is updated by the workflow. This did not cause an error. I also created a file attachment field in the form and attached a 1.5 mb file. This did not cause an error.

 In the orignal workflow I added "Wait until the document is no longer checked out" actions after each "to-do" item was completed by the user. This has not resolved the errors.

Can certain XML structures inside of an InfoPath form cause an error in the State Machine workflow that would not be logged to the 14 hive? Can an XML file be "too big" or "too complex" and cause a State Machine to fail? The form was *originally* web based (browser viewable) and was changed into a client based form due to network reliability issues. Could changing a form from web or browser based into a client based form cause this kind of problem? I republished the form template into an entirely new library and exported / imported the workflow to the new location.

 I am receiving "Workflow Name failed to run" errors during "State Change" actions and there are no errors being logged to the server by Nintex. What could possibly cause this?

User Permission Read Only (in Nintex) and Infopath Problem

Hi,

 

I'm trying to control the changes to my infopath form. The person who is to complete the task should be the only one who can make changes to the form. I would like every other users to be able to see the document but not click buttons etc. I have tried a few different approaches where I have used the set item permissions to remove inherited permissions, then grant individual permissions to the current user. This seems to only change the drop down options seen in the library. All users can still enter the form and click on submit buttons which is not ideal. I also tried to declare it as a record but you can still enter the form and click buttons, although it doesn't let the changes to be saved due to a check out error. Any suggestions would be appreciated!

 

Thanks

 Nick.

How do i route to multiple approvers at the same time, requiring all to approve?

January 17, 2013, 3:24 am

Morning all,

Im hitting a bit of a mental block.  Here's a bit of background as to how things work.  We have a proposal process.  The process starts with a sales person requiring their proposal to be approved.  In order for it to be approved it has to go through both the technical and projects department.  If both approve, the proposal can be sent out.

 The technical department is made up of Voice, Network, Microsoft (catch all for everything).  As some proposals can require different skill sets, it may require approval from a combination of the tech teams.

When the proposal is submitted the sales person ticks the box of which tech team need to review.  Projects are always the final team to approve.

I would like a workflow that will route the proposal to all selected teams at the same time.  however, all of the selected tech teams have to approve in order for the workflow to then move onto projects.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Hello,

I am trying to find a way to use a link to create a URL with short description in a list. I have tried the following but it comes out with the <a> tags in it:

<a href="{Common:ItemUrl}">Details</a>

I am using this to put a link in another list to this original list. How would I go about doing this? Everything I found was for Nintex 2007.

Thanks!

Notification for distribution group - one user in different groups

Hi!

I have troubles with nintex notification mails. 

The notification goes out to different ditribution groups - some users are in more than one group.

So if the notification goes to more groups, it can happen that the user gets the notification two or three or xxx times.

Is there any (easy) solution for that, or is there only a way through webservice, resolving usernames and write them into a temp list?

 Thanks in advance

Bug in date comparison

I have a site workflow that I schedule to run at 2:00am.  It runs at 10:00pm instead.  All scheduled workflows are 4 hours behind.

There's another bug in Nintex.  When the workflow runs, it does a date comparison to make sure a date field is not blank.  When the site workflow runs at 10:00pm, all blank dates are considered non-blank and the workflow terminates with a "Error Occurred" message (Real helpful eh!).  When I run the workflow manually in the morning the dates are evaluated to be blank correctly and the workflow completes successfully. 

I have an image of the actual log results however this forum does not permit images so I can't include it in this post.  Sorry.

Query to find a Document Library GUID

January 17, 2013, 11:35 am
$
0

Hello everyone,

 I am a little desparate for some help.  I have been scowering the internet for a solution to a problem with no luck so far.

I am currently using Nintex Workflow 2007 and have create a workflow that creates a new document library each month to store monthly financial reports.

The workflow uses a template to create the library and uses year and month data entered by a user to create the new library called MMR YYYY-MM.

The new library needs documents from the previous months library.

I have used the Query List feature to get a list of documents in a library and store the list in a collection variable, and then used a For Each and the Copy web service to copy over each document (including the metadata). This works great.

The problem is that the name of last months Document library changes each month.  The the Query List features gives you the option to use the query builder which does not allow you to use a dynamic Document Library name, just a static library that you pick from a drop down.  So even though I can tell the Web service to copy from MMR 22012-10 to MMR 2012-11, the list of documents to be transferred is based on the chosen static library.

So I need to use the CAML editor feature of the Query List. Building the query this way I can use a variable to set the Document Library to get the list from.  The problem is that it requires the GUID.  Arg!

I have tried many ways to get the GUID using Nintex workflow (mostly the lists Web Service) but my programming ability it limited.

THE QUESTION:  Does anyone know how I can get the GUID of a dynamically determined (based on passed workflow variables) Library name, and pass it to a variable, using Nintex Workflow 2007?

 Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.

Event 7043 - Load Control template file /_controltemplates/NWLOnlineComponents.ascx failed

Hello,
 
Hoping someone out there can help... noticing these errors in the Front-End server app log several times per day, no consistent pattern though.  I opened the NWLOnlineComponents.ascx file in Notepad++ and it seems to be part of Nintex Workflow Live, which we do not have installed as part of our Nintex Workflow 2010 implementation.  I would say I'm a novice in the Nintex world, so not sure if this error is a big deal or something that can be ignored if we're not going to be using Nintex Workflow Live.  Either way, hoping someone has some information as to what might be causing it, thanks much!

Caution icon displaying on all workflow action shapes

January 17, 2013, 1:41 pm

Good Afternoon,

I am unable to paste a screenshot into this post, so my explanation will have to suffice.

 I recently installed Nintex Workflow 2007 on MOSS 2007 (on a VM running Windows Server 2008), which I am viewing with IE version 8. 

Once I add shapes to my workflow, a yellow caution icon appears in the center of the shape and the drop-down arrow is disabled, which means I'm unable to configure any of the workflow action shapes.  I've searched through these forums (and Google, of course) and have not been able to find someone experiencing similar results.

This is true for ALL of the shapes, so it is not a problem with any individual shape, per se, but appears to be a configuration problem with the Nintex installation.

Thank you for any help you can offer.

Infopath - Validate Comment column, if decision is rejected

In Nintex workflow Infopath Approval Task form, I need to provide validation for comment column, if the selected decision is Rejected.

When I write the rules for this, what am I supposed to set for Decision field value? 

I tried to create Rule when Decision is equal to Rejected, Infopath task form ask the user to enter the comments for rejection which seems to be correct. But, even after providing comments, Infopath does not allow to save the task & throws error.

 I tried to create Rule when Decision is equal to 1 ( as Text & Number), still the same result.

During whole testing, when the decision is selected as Approved, with or without comments, I am able to submit the form.

So, I require to know what is the correct Rule, I am suppose to write for the condition to validate comments column when the Decision is Rejected.

Thank You in advance.
