We were seeing an issue with Nintex Forms throwing a correlation error in SharePoint 2013 when using a custom masterpage built from a SharePoint minimal masterpage. You can see the error we were seeing below. In this case, the resolution is actually quite easy. All that’s needed is to remove the DeltaSPWebPartManager code block from …

What I was looking to determine was what would happen if I sent an email to a SharePoint group, as opposed to explicitly defining a set of users in a workflow variable.  Up until now, I’d never really known what would happen when sending email to a SharePoint group, so here’s what I found. As …

You may have come across this message in SharePoint 2010, and thought you did everything to resolve it (except, perhaps the most obvious thing I’ll mention below). Message from webpage: Server was unable to process request. Failed to publish workflow: It appears that Nintex Workflow 2010 is not activated for this Web Application.  Check you …

Great post by Vadim about the available actions in Nintex for Office 365, and how the packages break down.  http://www.vadimtabakman.com/nintex-workflow-for-office-365-available-actions.aspx

It occurred to me that even though I knew several older versions of workflows existed as part of creating workflows, I had never actually thought of how to get at these older versions (as I never really needed to revert to older versions before).  I was prompted to look into this, and this is what …

Nintex Workflow has 2 very similar actions, which for the longest time confused me as to why you’d really need both.  Besides a presentation difference at run time, there’s a little more to this puzzle when you look closer. The two actions in question are “Run If” and “Set a Condition”, pictured below.   Both …

There’s a rather inelegant technique for rounding a number that can be found in the Nintex forums here and also here.  However, I have come up with a different technique, which isn’t necessarily any less inelegant (any more elegant?  — how many double negatives are too many?).  This technique requires only a single step in …

Ok, here’s the situation, my parents went away on a week’s vacation.  Oh, wait, no, never mind – I’m not the Fresh Prince from the 1980’s.  The real story begins like this.  I was working on a problem for a customer where I needed to copy an item with metadata from one library (with a …

I recently ran into this issue, and found a rather unorthodox way around it.  Note that this unlikely a supported technique, but it should get you up and running.  We contacted Nintex support and they asked all the regular questions, but we simply didn’t have time to waste going back and forth over all the …

I recently came across an issue in the Nintex installation where Nintex Live did not appear to completely install successfully.  I was installing the 2.3.2 (English only) version of Nintex.  The installer ran to completion just fine, and the deployment of the WSP’s all worked without any kind of error, but as soon as I …
