Rules which apply to pages in forms
New page functionality is great! Wouldn't it be nice to make the pages conditionally appear based on other fields.

The ablity to rerun a workflow, especially one that starts from a form
I had a workflow that failed from a form start and had no way to restart the workflow or retrieve the information that had been entered into the form. Once I fixed the error in my connections, I couldn't rerun it. I also couldn't access the initial information in the form. The data the user had entered is lost and I can't track down any information about what was submitted.

Please add an Exchange Online connector
Please add Exchange Online triggers and actions to Nintex Workflow Cloud. I would love to be able to use the following examples:

- Get email
And I also would love to be able to get these ability for Office Group Mailboxes.

We are not able to start a workflow based on an e-mail yet, but this will be coming later this year as well.

improve data lookup control with multi-value fields and more
The new Data Lookup control in the Forms designer needs at least these three additional features:
[1] Support for multi-value fields (really needed soon)
[2] Allowing multiple Option Labels that will show as multiple columns in the pull down.
[3] Selecting a field to sort the option list by.70 votesHi all,
We are currently working on the ability to return multiple properties from a Data Source. Will update this feature when I have more to share.

Update File Name in Workflow
Would be great if there was a way to update the name of a file that has been submitted via a Nintex Form within the workflow instance itself. This would make it much easier to associate files with other references provided within the form, such as a Title or Name.

Pre-populating Answers and Repeating Sections
In my organisation, forms need be signed-off by several levels of management before they are complete. If they're unsatisfied with anything, this can be passed back to the previous stage. This means I need to save and recover the current answers, then pre-populate them in the form at each stage.
Currently I do this by saving answers to a SQL database, then recalling them as a comma delimited string and using a substring to 'cut up' the answers. I did try extracting each answer as a row in a Collection (by using a Pivot table in SQL), but this required…

I will update the ticket if we have anything to share on this idea.

Default Value for Data Lookup
Should be able to determine a default value for a Data Lookup control. This could be configured so that the default would be the "first" value returned by the control, or when the data lookup only returns one value it automatically becomes the value that is displayed.

Add category for Nintex Mobile
In the settings of the form (where we can set the title and description), having the possibility to type a category for the form would be really useful. So that the form can appear in a category in Nintex mobile app.

Show where variables are used in workflow
Within the variable menu you should be able to see where a variable is being used (what actions) within the workflow.
If you need to find and replace a variable within the workflow designer (such as needing to change a variable's type), when working with large workflows it is hard to find where the variables are being used, but you cannot update/remove the variable until all instances are removed from existing actions.

Preview and Print Form after submission
Would like to have ability to be able Preview and Print the NWC Form after Form submission.
[ ref:00D90q6Cb.5002v2r1FCN:ref ]
50 votesThanks for the suggestion.
Just some clarifying questions – is the need to preview and print the form submission extending beyond the time of the initial submission. i.e. able to come back in x number of days and be able to view the form submission?

Embed an authenticated NWC form in SharePoint iframe
Currently you can embed a non-authenticated NWC form in SharePoint very nicely, however you are unable to embed an authenticated one. My tenant uses Azure AD SSO for NWC so in theory pass through auth should work pretty seamlessly. This would be extremely helpful!

Create PDF Rule of Completed Form
The ability from a form rule to create a PDF of the completed form.
Often on submit customers want to save a copy of the completed form itself in PDF format to a document store for record keep purposes.
Developers don't want to create a separate report for this purpose, a quick and dirty print to PDF that looks reasonably clean will tick the box for this requirement for auditability requirements.
The document should then be made available within the workflow to save away accordingly in a workflow event.

Add Oracle Connector to Nintex Workflow Cloud
Will you please add an Oracle Connector to Nintex Workflow Cloud that would permit workflows to log in to an Oracle database as a user and perform tasks that the user is authorized to perform (e.g., Create, Read, Update, Delete, Select) operations? Thank you.

Security trim a form so only users who have permissions can access the form
Capability to show hide forms according to whom business owner decides. Some forms should only be available for few users within the business/department and the process owner should be able to give remove access.
40 votesWe’ve started investigating this feature, will update when confirmed.
If anyone has any feedback to share on how they see this capability working then please reach out to me directly.

Try catch block is missing workflow
Hi Team,
we cant see try catch activity in the workflow designer and its making problem big time for us in orchestrating the process flow as there is always set of activity which is error prone and if we dont put exception handling it will break the process instances so often and we are not able to take any remedation action of failure .

Allow add buttons to NWC form
It would be very helpful if we could add buttons to NWC forms and specify what value they set to a field. For example, I would like to give my users the ability to click cancel on a form. Then the workflow will perform some tasks (like update the SP list item Status to "Cancelled") and then the workflow ends.
38 votesThanks for your suggestion. We will consider a button control for future releases.

Multilingual Forms
Currently, if forms in Nintex Workflow Cloud require support for multiple languages, the designer has to create a form for every language required. As an NWC workflow start event only supports one form, it means creating a workflow for every language required (unless someone has a better way).
It would be great if NWC supported language variations or, at the very least, allow one workflow to support multiple forms for language variations.
