To date in Nintex Workflow Cloud (NWC), designers and developers have had the capability to publish changes to any type of workflow. If this works for you, you can leave this setting in place...however, if your organisation insists on additional governance or demands greater visibility of when changes are being made, NWC now offers configuration options to specify who should have the ability to publish changes to workflow. Let's find out more! Your admins will find new options available on the Workflow settings page under Settings. The Workflow publishing section is where to look to begin configuring the new feature.  When you first visit this page, the Designer and Developer option will be selected under Workflow publishing. This is the status quo...how NWC has wo

Update - August 20th (17.4.1 now available)Hello, RPA Community,Thanks again for your patience while we got the Google Chrome issues fixed in the latest release. Nintex Bot 17.4.1 is now available -- I strongly encourage you to install this version as soon as possible, and not only if you're targeting Chrome in your botflows.  You do NOT need to update RPA Central as long as you updated it last week. Note that we released a new Chrome Extension today as well -- 1.2.0.0. The combination of 17.4.1 and the new Chrome extension should greatly improve the speed and reliability when designing or running botflows that target Chrome. Thanks again,Mike

Periodically users will generate a document inside of Nintex Workflow Cloud or SharePoint Online Nintex and place a signature in that document.  When you tag the document, that signature will be very large.  Here is how you resize that signature image.  The key is in the Word document under "Picture Format" to select "Selection Pane" and put your tag in that pane.   Video below to see it in action.

Great news Nintex K2 five users !  You no longer need to keep visiting Error management page just to keep checking on any K2 workflow errors. Old timers with K2 platform wanted a feature where notifications are sent to IT or Business team for any erroring instances on K2 Five platform. Now you can do exactly that by configuring a new workflow to start on any error, see the start pane below   A simple example scenario would be to send your IT Administrator notifications so they can action the error. You can also setup an advanced scenario where K2 automatically retries ay any error instance automatically so you don't have to. More details are available at below Nintex link-

 Why can’t I see my AssureSign template in Nintex Workflow Cloud?Currently only “non-partial” templates are available within the integration with Nintex Workflow Cloud. If you have a template configured in AssureSign and do not see it in the Nintex Workflow Cloud ‘Get a signature’ action, it is most likely because the template in AssureSign is in a partial state.  What is a partial template?A partial template is any template in AssureSign that is missing a component that could put it into an “incompletable” state. For example, if you have Signer 1 and the sender input of [Signer 1 Email], no SMS support, and then make the [Signer 1 Email] input optional, the templa

 Using Dynamic Data Dynamically Populating Documents eSignatures customers can often encounter times where they want to dynamically position signing fields inside their documents, but either do not want to, or are not able to, manage their document templates directly within the eSignature tool itself. One example of this is when combining the capabilities of Nintex Document Generation and eSignature to dynamically pull information from a given system of record and populate it into a document (DocGen) before sending it out for approval and signature. Historically, customers that leveraged Adobe Sign as part of their Nintex Workflows or Drawloop Delivery Options could use Adobe Sign Tags to indicate where signature fields should be populated in the document when it was sent to the Adobe eSign servi

In our latest release of Nintex K2 Cloud, we’ve added a new feature to make styling your Nintex K2 SmartForms easier than before and made further enhancements to unify the powerful low-code process automation capabilities of Nintex K2 Software with the Nintex Process Platform.  New Style ProfilesBrand new to the design experience, we are excited to release the Style Profile Designer. In the familiar Nintex K2 Software designer experience, you can now create a new artifact type called the Style Profile. Treated as a first-class citizen, a Style Profile can be created once and used across one or more forms. By studying and evaluating how our customers style Nintex K2 SmartForms, we discovered several trends: Styling each control is painful and takes too much time to make each form look consistent. Creating custom themes, while possible, required a lot of CSS code and wasn’t consistent with modern CSS appro

Repeating sections are a critical and heavily used piece of functionality in Nintex O365 forms which allow users to solve a wide range of problems. These problems involve building up lists of data for use cases ranging from inventory lists, incident reports right through to expense forms. Repeating sections are the most heavily requested feature for Nintex Workflow Cloud on UserVoice, and I'm happy to announce you can now use them in NWC. Not only that, but they come with some awesome new functionality - row calculation. It's clear from customer feedback that users need a reliable way of performing row based calculation relating to items, e.g. line total​, to help inform form participants and capture relevant data. By adding the "current row" concept to our repeating sections object - we have allowed to do this quickly, as well as still provide the existing collections of controls for other use cases. e.g. adding up the items in a column. See the example

Hi Nintexers, I just wanted to share a simple workaround for the missing support of the "Append Changes to Existing Text" option for Multiline text fields in Nintex Forms for Office 365. Apparently on 26th September Nintex announced that this feature is planned for development, but I can't wait that long...  Support lists with versioning turned on and where "Append Changes to Existing Text" is set to "Yes." – Customer Feedback…  For my solution I was using the new responsive forms but it should work also in the classic ones. What you needRepeating section Multiline text field: Comment/Notes People field: Created by

The workflow engine of K2 is by far its most powerful and distinguishing feature compared to other similar tools and platforms in the market. The user friendly interface, rich out of the box (OOB) tools, built in functions all contribute to a quick build and amend capability, making K2 workflow stand out both functionally and technically. The workflow designer canvas is composed of different workflow web parts that can be easily dragged and dropped into the canvas area where they can be connected together to achieve hyper automation.  The main webparts available include: Tasks Decisions Messages/Notification Emails Splits Merges Timers End Block Tasks: Process actioners are defined using tasks.
