I am brand new to Sharepoint, Nintex Forms and Nintex Workflow. I have found books on everything but forms. Does anyone have a suggestion as to where I can locate a book on Creating Nintex Forms?

You found a BOOK on Nintex Workflows!?

Hi Eric,

I agree with Frank.  Use the community.  I think it is much more interactive than any book. 

Under Forums --> Getting Started you will find these links

Build your first Nintex Form - Part 1 of 3 (simple customization) 

Build your first Nintex Form - Part 2 of 3 (repeating sections) 

Build your first Nintex Form - Part 3 of 3 (validation & hyperlinks) 

Getting Started with Nintex Forms for some more examples...

And after you worked through this start asking questions here on the community. 

Good luck...its not difficult. 

I believe Eric Harris‌ wrote one:  http://from0to60.com/

These are very good reads:

https://community.nintex.com/docs/DOC-1044

https://community.nintex.com/docs/DOC-1045

haha we were replying the same thing at the same time...  spooky  they must be good resources for us both to recommend!

‌ ‌ ‌ - I thought we had a deal where you would get a penny for every book recommendation. LOL.. Just kidding. 

The book is a good starter, but the community is far better and has more updated content. Slightly hard to keep a book updated these days with a day job of trying to get point in the community.

‌. Take a look at the resources listed above and to get the most out of it all, I would recommend try starting with a small problem to solve, such as build a form and a list that automate approving an item and changing a status field on that item. By doing this, you are still exploring but you're a more focused and can ask specific questions that, as you can see, plenty of people are willing to help out with.

Cheers and welcome to the best community on the planet :-).

Yes.

Thank You.

Thanks Frank.

I just saw that in the book that I downloaded. I am waiting on registration now.

Thanks.

Spooky indeed

Yeah right Eric! I am sure you have plenty of time to update the book while building out the Nintex XChange and whatnot!

Hello, check out my new blog aimed at helping those new to forms to get started:  

Thanks,

Hi Eric,

Did you find a good book? I have completed the training on the Learning Central site and whilst I anticipate I could probably do a lot on Sharepoint with Nintex workflows/forms I find it incredibly frustrating trying to find out how to do what I need. I've even posted on Upwork to find out if anyone can just answer my questions because the help documentation is filled with vague or ambiguous words. 

I am in the process of reading a book on Javascript as that seems to be what many of the problems I have are solved by but given the Nintex workflows / forms was intended to be an OOTB solution for people who can't code I find it frustrating and strange to there's still so much jargon. 

some feedback for the Product Manager of Nintex for Sharepoint: I would strongly recommend a plain english version of the Help documentation which reads something like:

> This control does x

> it can combine in these ways with other controls

> it cannot do these things you might expect, they can be done with this other control

> you have to do X before you can do Y

This would greatly empower users such as myself who are invovled as a business analyst in a large corporation, a lot of epxerience with Excel spreadsheets, have complex workflow requirements and can see the potential of Nintex but not the time to learn coding / checking the myriad of definitions required to understand a sentence of the help documentation. I would even pay a consultant if one was available to help me do my everyday job so I can get up to speed. The posting/searching the community for my exact problem I have found so laborious I've resorted to learning a coding language (Javascript), which is what I was trying by Nintex in the first place.

@johnfriday13 thanks for your comments and I have shared them internally.

For asking questions perhaps the znintex hangouts may be another great place to start. I will be announcing them again soon and it's essentially a live q&a session with myself and other Nintex users.

Be on the lookout for that in the events area.
