Apparently "INSTALL-NFService" need to be run in SharePoint PowerShell to fix this problem.
When I installed Nintex Forms again,
I can't add license, because I got message that "Nintex Forms has not been activated yet.
Please go to Central Administration and activate the Nintex Forms under Web Application > Manage web application > Manage Features
I wanted to modify a workflow, but I didn't want my modifications to overwrite the existing version,
so when saving I unticked the relevant checkbox.
I thought that this checkbox will come back next time but it is not there anymore for that particular workflow.
And now, when I tested and published, I want to have the possibility to overwrite the existing version with new one,
but instead I have to save a new unpublished version, publish it, and delete the old one, which is not the best way.
So, the question is, how to get the checkbox back?
Resolution steps
(List Settings -> Workflow Settings -> Remove a workflow) and set all previous workflow versions to No New Instances and left only the most recent version as Allow.
Upon doing this, I was again able to edit an existing workflow, publish it with overwrite, and see only the latest version on the Start a New Workflow page.
Note, if you select to Remove previous workflow versions, I believe it deletes them presently and you can no longer view the workflow history diagram on historical items that used this workflow version.
Not sure if I understood completely, but I will say that the Pause action defaults to 5 minutes, even if you set it for say 1 minute.
This can be changed internally within SharePoint but messing with the timer in such a way isn't really recommended as it can cause other issues.
What you might be able to do is introduce the Pause Action after X amount of items, so maintain a Counter and then Run If counter = say 25,
then Pause for 5 minutes. In this way you can control the amount of Pauses that take place and ultimately lower the amount of time this process takes.
Here is our code to read.

In SharePoint 2016, you can do like below.
1.Build String action.
2. Create Item action.
3. Copy to SharePoint action.
Out-of-the-box PreSaveItem doesn’t do anything, but on every form save action, SharePoint checks if PreSaveItems return false. In this case it doesn’t allow the form submit. See the following row to better understand what I mean.
if (!PreSaveItem()) return false;
In a custom javascript file you have to redefine the PreSaveItem function, adding your custom data validation. In my article I wrote a function that leverage the power of regular expressions to validate an email address field. Let’s see the example below.
function PreSaveItem(){
var err = false;
var email = $("input[title='E-mail']");
var re_email = /^[0-9a-zA-Z]+([0-9a-zA-Z]*[-._+])*[0-9a-zA-Z]+@[0-9a-zA-Z]+([-.][0-9a-zA-Z]+)*([0-9a-zA-Z]*[.])[a-zA-Z]{2,6}$/;
if (!(re_email.test(email.val())) || email.val().length == 0){
var erremail = '<div class="ms-formvalidation"><span role="alert"><b>E-mail address</b> field is not valid.</span></div>';
email.after(erremail);
email.focus();
err = true;
}
return !(err)I used jQuery to select the field and to add an error message after the input when needed. I also added another little piece of code to clear the error message when the user change the fields value.
$(document).ready(function(){
$("input[title='E-mail']").change(function(){
$(this).next().hide();
});
});
It is bit similar to SP2010 with a small change of the master page it inherits and sharepoint assembly version. So below is my code to achieve login functionality for “Windows Authentication” and “Forms Authentication“.
ASPX Page(Application Page):
Note: 1. Some things you must replace those are highlighted below.
2. Master page used for mixed mode login page is errorv15.master
3. I override click event of login button that default use CommandName=”Login”
4. Also you can use either <%–<a href=”/_windows/default.aspx?ReturnUrl= or <asp:LinkButton ID=”lbInternalUsers” … former is easy but less in control from code, later best for controlling events.

Code(cs class):
Note: 1. In forms replace "subsiteurl" with server relative url of the subsite.
2. In forms replace "YourPage" with the page name where you want to redirect user after login. protected void login_click(object sender, EventArgs e) { try { //Check and validate the user is exists with the right user and password or not if (SPClaimsUtility.AuthenticateFormsUser(new Uri(SPContext.Current.Web.Url), signInControl.UserName, signInControl.Password)) { SPSecurity.RunWithElevatedPrivileges(delegate() { string loginName = "i:0#.f|fbamembershipprovider|" + signInControl.UserName; using (SPSite site = new SPSite(SPContext.Current.Site.Url)) { using (SPWeb web = site.OpenWeb()) { SPUser spUser = web.AllUsers[loginName]; if (spUser != null) { bool IsUserInGroupA = false; bool IsUserInGroupB = false; foreach (SPGroup spGroup in spUser.Groups) { if (spGroup.Name == "A") { IsUserInGroupA = true; break; } if (spGroup.Name == "B") { IsUserInGroupB = true; break; } } if (IsUserInGroupA) { SPUtility.Redirect(web.Webs["subsiteurl"].Url + "/Pages/YourPage.aspx", SPRedirectFlags.Trusted, this.Context); //FormsAuthentication.RedirectFromLoginPage(); } else if (IsUserInISGTFGroup) { //SPUtility.Redirect(web.Webs["subsiteurl"].Url + "/Pages/YourPage.aspx", SPRedirectFlags.Trusted, this.Context); //FormsAuthentication.RedirectFromLoginPage(); } else { SPUtility.Redirect(web.Url, SPRedirectFlags.Trusted, this.Context); } } } } }); } else { lblError.Visible = true; lblError.Text = "The server could not sign you in. Make sure your user name and password are correct, and then try again."; } } catch (Exception ex) { } }
protected void lbInternalUsers_OnClick(object sender, EventArgs e) { try { if (null != SPContext.Current && null != SPContext.Current.Site) { SPIisSettings iisSettings = SPContext.Current.Site.WebApplication.IisSettings[SPUrlZone.Default]; if (null != iisSettings && iisSettings.UseWindowsClaimsAuthenticationProvider) { SPAuthenticationProvider provider = iisSettings.WindowsClaimsAuthenticationProvider; Redirect(provider); } } } catch (Exception ex) { //lblError.Text = ex.Message; } }
private void Redirect(SPAuthenticationProvider provider) { string comp = HttpContext.Current.Request.Url.GetComponents(UriComponents.Query, UriFormat.SafeUnescaped); string url = provider.AuthenticationRedirectionUrl.ToString(); if (provider is SPWindowsAuthenticationProvider) { comp = EnsureUrl(comp, true); } SPUtility.Redirect(url, SPRedirectFlags.Default, this.Context, comp); }
private string EnsureUrl(string url, bool urlIsQueryStringOnly) { if (!url.Contains("ReturnUrl=")) { if (urlIsQueryStringOnly) { url = url + (string.IsNullOrEmpty(url) ? "" : "&"); } else { url = url + ((url.IndexOf('?') == -1) ? "?" : "&"); } url = url + "ReturnUrl="; } return url; }
So this is the crisp about creating full controlled login page for SP 2013 in mixed authentication mode.
This is how my login page look like.
