I used Nintex Workflow for several years and always guessed how I could see my favorite actions on the section named "Commonly used"
I always saw those friendly actions; "Assign Flexi task" and "Send notification", although I built tons of workflows with different actions. I kept asking: What 'd be the mysterious algorithm that Nintex uses to determine my action as "Commonly used".
Is it a magic number?. Yes, it is
After asking it on the Nintex Community, Emily told us that the magic number is 7.
And I said to myself, "I used my favorite action more than 7 times". For example I remember I have a lot of "Change State" actions on my workflows.
The trick is that you must drag & drop 7 times your action on your workflow design to see it on the "Commonly used" Category.
It will not be considered as favorite, for example if you Copy/Paste it 7 times.
Let's assume that your favorite action is "Calculate Date".
Drag & Drop it 7 times on your workflow design
Then Save the workflow.
Close it.
And open it again.
And now you 'll see your favorite action…
