If you’ve used Nintex forms at some point in your life than you would have come across the mystical repeating section control. Now for those coming from the InfoPath or Lotus Notes worlds, you would remember that you had the ability to do fancy table structures in the form to capture an unknown amount of data but in a structured way. Nintex gives you the same capability and makes it easy to set up. After working with many customers, I realized there are some things that just are as intuitive unless you’re playing around with things and not everyone has that luxury. So to help you out, I built a quick demo which includes a form, and workflow to show how to retrieve the information from that form. The workflow template is built to show a simple workflow that can parse the repeating section data and create child items with it.

As InfoPath nears its end of life, we’re fielding more and more questions about how to migrate from InfoPath to Nintex. It’s not so simple with InfoPath as a solution built on InfoPath can be completely monolithic i.e. it combines data, business rules and presentation/forms into a single package. When you are looking to replace InfoPath, you really need to understand what each of these three components is doing and then replicate on your platform of choice whether that is Automation Cloud (NAC) or K2.  We have some really great on-demand webinars that you can watch at your leisure to help you through this journey:InfoPath migration best-practices InfoPath forms: Why migrate

K2 licensing keys are provided by the Nintex licensing team and are unique to a customer based on a system key and their license type and contract agreement. This includes environment type (e.g., production, nonproduction, and development), and number of users, workflows, and forms. However, the most important part of the license key process is the expiration date. There have been some challenges and some confusion with the types of licenses, which this article will address. NOTE: Older K2 environments (including versions of K2 blackpearl prior to 4.7) may have server-based license keys, or known as perpetual licenses. These keys do not have expiration dates, and are therefore NOT impacted by the expiration date bug. If your K2 environment is running with a perpetual license key, NO ACTION IS NEEDED. If you do not know what type of K2 license entitle

A customer recently reached out with a complex document generation scenario requiring a specific format for their repeating fields. They needed to pass a variety of variables including collections to a component workflow via a webhook and then generate a repeating table from this data. The first thing we needed to do in this situation is to parse the data in the collection out into multiple collections, the amount of collections will depend on how many individual data points you want to pull from the initial collection.  In this case the customer parsed out 2 data points into two separate collections. Now you might think that we could just generate the repeating table with the two collections.  Setting up your template for the repeating table like this. This however did not give us the result we were look

I recently was asked for what the top 10 features are in K2, and it got me thinking. We always talk about the new shiny features, the ones that are coming in the near future on the roadmap, but all those new features build upon an already awesome box that is K2. And with my love of top 10 lists, here are my favorites, in somewhat of an order.Fully featured and proven independent workflow engine with 20+ years of enterprise usage. Patented SmartObject framework for business data modeling from disparate systems, which honors security in the LOB system and keeps the data in the source of truth. Visual workflow designer with business logic and rules engine to build even the most complex workflow logic. Robust APIs to extend beyond the borders of K2, to make the impossible, possible. Authorization Framework to allow governance and security around your applications, so only the people who need to access the forms or start a workflow, can.

DocuSign has announced a change for authentication techniques by deprecating legacy authentication and OAuth 1.0 protocols.

There are many ways to start a workflow in Nintex Workflow Cloud (NWC)...such as, submitting an NWC form, on a schedule or even by updating a record in Salesforce. One common way in which NWC workflow starts is based on items being created or updated in SharePoint Online. Many Nintex customers have SharePoint Online in their landscape and many also have used, or still use Nintex Workflow for O365. Nintex strongly recommends that those using Nintex Workflow for O365 consider migrating their workflow to NWC to take advantage of the many additional features that NWC provides, such as, the myriad of prebuilt connectors to third party systems and the My Nintex and Workflow Tracking consolidated views of processes. For those customers that are already running their SharePoint workflows in NWC, or for those considering migrating, Nintex has added additional support for the testing of workflows based on the SharePoint Online start event. Let's reite
