Starting in Nintex Automation K2 version 5.8.1, newly created forms will now default to the Dynamic theme. This change helps ensure a more modern, consistent styling experience right from the start—no extra configuration required. What’s changing?In previous versions, new forms defaulted to the legacy theme unless manually changed. With this update, the “Use Legacy Theme” setting is now unchecked by default. New forms will automatically use the Dynamic theme, aligning with a modern design standard and streamlined styling.This change only affects newly created forms. All existing forms, previously upgraded collateral, and SharePoint-generated forms will retain their original theme settings. Why this mattersThe Dynamic theme offers a more contemporary design and consistent color styling. With its default style profile, forms automatically apply a unified set of colors, such as main accents, page backgrounds, and content areas, e

IntroductionWe're excited to announce that as of today, our Nintex Forms for Office 365 customers can now publish and use forms in either the Nintex Forms add-in or the Nintex Automation Cloud SPFx apps. For those who aren't already aware, Microsoft is moving away from add-in apps, and you'll need to transition to SPFx apps. For more details, check out this link.

This is the next crucial step in this transition. PrerequisitesForm must be upgraded to New Responsive Format

Hi “I’m looking for 1‑to‑1 K2 SmartForms/Workflow ,  customer developer training. could u help on that. Regards 

Do you want to show master-detail information in a form and have it render automatically each time you change the master?  Repeating sections are your friend for this. The secret sauce is to set the default value of the repeating section to the data containing the detail line. “Default value?” I hear you ask.  “Surely that is only set when the form loads?” Well yes – every other control operates this way but we’ve tweaked repeating sections to re-render if the default value field changes.  This way you could use it to set up a repeating section with default values when the form loads but you can also re-render the repeating section if you change the default value. Read on for some examples of how to get this going. Example 1 – using a collection as a data sourceThe first example we’re going to use is by using a collection variable.  One thing you need to be aware of is if the collection variable

I have an API (NWCToolkit Xtension,  base64encodefile) that returns two JSON elements: “error” and “result”: "Result": { "description": "Model for Result", "required": [ "error" ], "properties": { "error": { "type": "string", "x-example": "" }, "result": { "type": "string", "x-example": "SGV5IHdoYXRzIGdvaW5nIG9u" } } }, Since the workflow designer GUI doesn’t seem to have any way to differentiate “error” and “result”, I’m using the Query JSON action to parse the results.  Query

Certificates, Re: Automation Specialist for Nintex Automation Cloud - Level I and 11Has anyone got any practice exams for these or any previous attempts documented so I can conduct some self assessments before actually taking the examinations?Would be nice to see, just like actual exam courses, some practice exams (full length - like those from university courses) and or the last couple iterations over the years. If anyone could assist me here, that would be great.

If you’ve seen any of my articles before, you may have seen that I speak about the Connected Data feature where you can use Excel to push data into your Word/Powerpoint/PDF template. The possibility is endless when it comes to Connected Data so it may be difficult to figure out what you can do with it.One use case that I encountered was removing the country code from the phone number if the country code is filled out. If it is not, then we want the use the phone number as is. One option that admins could do is to create a Salesforce field to determine this but I have encountered many that do not want to create a new field either because of having too many already to maintain or not wanting to create a field with the only use of it is to be used for DocGen.In my specific example, I will have a field where the user may or may not
