Url Site Path Match Teams Group Name When Creating Teams Group

Having the URL use the group name when using the Create New Teams Groups action from the Teams Connection. Currently when making a Teams Group with Nintex Teams Integration "msteams" followed by a random string will use. Looking to be able to use more meaningful names in URL to follow business naming conventions.

Custom Form JavaScript and CSS. CSS Classes per control for (On-Premise) Nintex Responsive Forms

Being able to add custom classes to Controls and giving the option to enable Custom Javascript are shortcommings the responsive Form version now has.
eg. Filling People Controls, Managed Metadata, Choice Fields and Lookup fields cannot be filled using Javascript now. Adding this would make the Responsive Form variant a useable candidate.
Now, without this we cannot use this Responsive variant because we need those capabilities.

Date time fields with more precision than 5 minute intervals

I manually hacked a date time control to give greater precision than 5 minute intervals. On save, it throws a correlation error.

Given that we can ONLY bind date controls to date/time fields, could you please give us an option with more precision than 5 minute intervals? This seems like a really silly limitation.

Online payments on Nintex form

We need an integration point on the forms to be able to accept online payments, paypal, CC...etc.
It has been requested by multiple organizations to process payments through a secure gateway within the Nintex form for External and internal users. It would be to have this available on internal and external facing (LIVE) forms as well. It was mainly requested for Nintex on-prem 2016. But it would be great to have it also available on other versions, 2010, 2013 and office 365.

We dont have any plans to bring online payments to Nintex Forms at the moment, but if our plans change, I will update this feature.

The ability to create a nintex form when using the event content type

We would like to create a nintex form to create calendar entries. The reason for this is that we have added extra fields to the list that we wish to hide and show using rules based on selections made in the form. Currently we can't do this as the event content type is not compatible with nintex forms.

Thanks for your suggestion. The Event content type is a bit more complex than a standard List content type due to the ‘All day event’, and the ‘Recurrence’ options.

Both of these features include specific logic to show more options within the control itself and would only be used within this content type. Therefore, is a reasonable amount of effort for this content type.

We may be able to include this feature into the product without ‘All day event’ and the ‘Recurrence’ options, but feel this would be an incomplete offering.

Cascading lookup to pull filtered data from a single list

Extend existing functionality to allow cascading data to live in one list rather than two separate lists. So, in the example demonstrated here: https://community.nintex.com/docs/DOC-1201, we should be able to create the same functionality - user selects State and then the Store field shows a filtered subset of options based on the State selected - all from the Stores list. There should be no need for the separate States list.

Good suggestion Nicole. I will add this suggestion to the backlog as we are starting the List Lookup control for Universal Forms.

Barcode/QR code scan into SharePoint to populate list fields

Scenario: Information worker opens a New List Item form, and scan a QR Code of a work order, which will populate the fields with information from the QR Code (w/o number, customer name, address, ..). This functionality could be used with Workflow and/or Forms, and with mobile devices.

parseInt() runtime functions

A new runtime function that convert string to integer
Also the ability to be able to total control based on the values. EG
Radio Buttons are stored as string not integer. So even if the values are 1,2,3,4,5 these cannot be totalled in the calculated Value control. for On-Prem it is possible to use parseInt(Named Control) + parseInt(Named Control) etc etc, but this would get very big quickly.

A new runtime function that can be used like:

parseIntTotal(Named Control1, Named Control2, Named Control3)

would be excellent..

Thanks for your suggestion Etay. We will consider this as we are building the repeating section and rules for Universal Forms.

Thanks for your suggestion Cherry. Would the customer just need the watermark on the PDF or expect it across the form as well? Please add your feedback in the comments section below.

When will Managed Metadata be supported for Mobile and Live?

When will Managed Metadata be supported for Mobile and Live? We love that it is supported in Forms, but need more functionality and difficult to provide a full solution when mobile and Nintex Live are not options.

Add callback function to Lookup control loaded event

Lookup controls seem to finish loading after the (document).ready event. I would like to be able to specify a callback function when the control has loaded which takes a reference to the control and the controls data.

custom validation with an ajax call
I am building a computer registration request form and need to check whether a computer hostname already exists in our linux host file. I'd like to be able to put an ajax call in a custom validation function to check a web service if the host name exists. Here is an example that does not work -

function createCORSRequest(method, url)
{
var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
if ("withCredentials" in xhr){
// XHR has 'withCredentials' property only if it supports CORS
xhr.open(method, url, false);
} else if (typeof XDomainRequest != "undefined"){ // if IE use XDR
xhr = new XDomainRequest();
xhr.open(method, url);
} else {
xhr = null;
}
return xhr;
}
function HostNameAvailable(source, arguments) { var url = "http://mylinuxserver/webservice/check-hostname.php?host="+arguments.Value;
var request = createCORSRequest( "get", url ); if ( request ){
// Define a callback function
request.onload = function(){
if (this.responseText == "true") {
arguments.IsValid = true;
} else {
arguments.IsValid = false;
}
};
// Send request
request.send();
}
}

$ more check-hostname.php
<?php
/* taking hostname from querystring, clean data and return 0 if hostname does not exist.

A valid hostname conforms to the following rules: - at least 4 characters and less than 16 - alphanumeric with - - must have at least one letter - the first character must be alphanumeric

*/

$pattern = '/^[a-z0-9][a-z0-9-]{3,14}$/'; $host = ""; $rv = "false";

if (isset($_GET['host'])) {

$host = trim(strtolower($_GET['host'])); if (preg_match($pattern, $host)) { // need to see if the host name is in the hosts file $host_found = exec("ypcat hosts | egrep '\b$host\b'"); $user_found = exec("getent passwd $host"); if ( ! $host_found && ! $user_found ) { $rv = "true"; } }

}

header("Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *"); echo $rv;

?>

An option/control in the workflow to email the Nintex Form.

We have many InfoPath forms that only send an email of themselves. We call them fire and forget forms. In Nintex it is time consuming to replace these forms because I have to have a workflow to send the email (which is just fine) but I also have to completely build the email and customize it to match the information on the form. This is extremely time consuming in comparison to a "fire and forget" form. I want to be able to have a list with content types turned on so that I can have multiple forms and then have one workflow that will email what ever form that was filled out. If this was an option it would be HUGE. I could be a hero at my work!..but that is not the point, I don't need to be a hero. I thing this would be a great asset to the entire community. What do you thin? For me, I could replace somewhere from 40 to 80 forms very quickly. If this can be done or simulated in any way currently, please let me know.

Thanks all.
Randy
