Nintex University is your source for getting up and running quickly with the Nintex Process Platform. The menu order form and other Nintex Workflow Cloud solutions are available in the Nintex Solution Accelerator Gallery. In the ‘Text configuration’ section, type ‘Total Order: $’ and then use the ‘ Insert’ tab to insert the decFormTotal variable. To show the form total below the repeating section, click on the label control to open the configuration pane. Repeat these same rules for each item in the choice – single dropdown. Within the same rule, you will also create a formula to multiply the item quantity with the per-item cost (Item Quantity * Item Cost). Additionally, these rules are only going to be applied to the repeating section and not the entire form. Note that it will state that if a dropdown value equals ‘x’, the per item cost is set to the per-item cost variable you previously built. These rules will set two configurations in how your form operates. Second, you will need to build the form rules for each item in the choice – single dropdown (pizza, pasta, salad). The ‘decFormTotal’ variable will use the form function of sum() to add the line total cost of each row in the repeating section. In the example below, pasta costs $10.99 per item. The variables will be required for two purposes.įirst, you need to determine the constant values of the per item cost. This repeating section example utilizes three main portions of the Nintex Forms Designer in Nintex Workflow Cloud:Īfter nesting the choice and number controls into the repeating section control, you will build variables. Let’s look at how the Food Order Menu form is designed. Speaking of a simple menu ordering form, this exact form is readily available to you to use in the Nintex Solutions Accelerator Gallery. With this functionality, users can build complex form solutions, such as inventory management forms and expense reimbursement forms, or even a simple menu ordering form. It’s a useful tool, but did you know that it can also perform row-based calculations on the data that is entered into each form? The repeating sections in Nintex Workflow Cloud® allows you to collect information in multiple instances, or rows, in a specific section of a form. However, there is one control that Nintex Forms needs to collect more complex data: the repeating section control. It works as a ‘Select all’ option for fields in a section.Nintex Forms provides many ways for users to collect information using various basic controls such as short and long text, number, date/time, images, and even file attachments. Select all fields in this section: When you select this, all fields available in that section of a record are selected so you don’t have to manually select the fields in that section. This is particularly useful when there’s data in multiple fields and you only want to look at data that’s different in the two records. View fields with conflicting data: When you select this, only the fields that have conflicting data are shown so you can quickly select the fields from which you want to retain data. If both primary and secondary records have data in the same fields, the fields of primary record are selected. Merge records by choosing fields with data: When you select this, all the fields that have data are selected regardless of whether the data is in the primary record or secondary record. Use the following options to select the fields for which the data must be retained, and select OK: All notes, activities, and details associated with the secondary record are linked to the primary record. When you do that, data from the selected fields of the secondary record is copied over to the primary record and kept. You have an option to choose the fields from the secondary record, too. This means that the data in these selected fields will be retained. When you select a primary record, by default, all the fields of the primary records are selected. Data from the secondary record is copied over to the primary record. The primary record is kept, and the secondary record is deactivated. If a duplicate is detected when a new record is being saved, then the new record is always considered as the secondary record. The option to select a primary record is available when both records are existing in the system.
