Hello there. We have just installed Nintex/SP 2016 on prem. When I try to create a new workflow, it doesn't populate the window to choose whether to pick from a template or start a blank one? We will be saving a lot of template and the users will be re-using them and this is an essential part. Is our installation broken or is this a known issue in 2016 on prem?!
If you click on Open in the workflow designer, there are 2 check boxes, one of which is "Show Template page when creating a new workflow". This is not selected by default, select this and it will open when you create new workflows.
I don't know if there is a setting in Central Admin to manage this globally, I'll have a look.

Thanks , I tried it and this worked for me but I was at a certain subsite/list. Would that be made available for all the users and on all sites/subsites/lists from now on? or do the users have to check that box everytime they try to create a workflow? (:~~SS worried face) ..
I checked in central admin and couldn't spot a configuration for it.

Ok - little update. For a certain user logged, once I selected that box on any list/subsite, it populates for me now on any of the subsites within the site collection. I'll get someone to test with a different account and let you know how it worked.. Thanks again.

I already have a ticket opened since yesterday with Nintex support. I just let them know about the update, thanks to you :-), and asked about the Global configuration. I'll let you know if I heard back.

An Update: The response I got from Nintex support is:
There is no option in Central admin to set this globally. Also no PowerShell command nor a Sql switch in the database that I can change its default value. I was asked to create a new feature in uservoice. Here it is:
