Complex Workflow

$

Hi,

I am relatively new to Nintex and need some assistance to create a complex workflow, am not sure if it should be all one workflow, or multiple workflows

Scenario:

I have created a Nintex Form with 2 lookups (Staff and Manager), Staff is dependant on Manager. I have a hidden column called draft and two buttons in my form called ‘Save draft’ and ‘Save & Submit’. If Save draft is used it returns 0 into the draft column if Save & Submit is used it returns a 1. Everything in the first part of the workflow is dependant on what is in this field as it starts the workflow. I also have multiple groups with varying permission (Coach, Manager and Staff)

If draft is 0 then nothing happens, if it is 1 then the Workflow needs to do the following:

Change permissions for the form, making the Group Coach as read and initiating the Manager group as contribute

I have started the process by using "Set a condition", I am assuming this works as I am unsure how to test

Issue 1:

I then added "Set item permissions"; I want it to affect the form as a whole based on the Coach Group that I created in SP. The options I currently have selected are:

Set Permission On:      List Name

Where:                         Draft (This is where I am not 100% sure I have selected the correct option)

Equals:                        Value 1

I have then chosen the User Permissions (Coach as Read and Manager as Contribute)

I have tested this and whenever a person from the Coach Group opens the form they are still able to edit. I need to disable this after they Save and Submit

Issue 2:

I then want to send an e-mail to the Manager advising them that there is a form available for them to review

I added the “Send notification” workflow, however the To: field doesn’t recognise the Manager lookup field in the form, as a result I created “Set variable” with the following options;

Set:                  Manager

Equals:            List Lookup

Source:           List Name

Field:              Staff: Manager E-mail Address – Lookup Value (as Text)

When:             Draft

Equals:            Value: 1

Nothing happens when I create a new document

I have tried using Query List, and still I cannot get this workflow to work, is what I have requested possible?
