Libraries

Libraries are the top level in the catalog’s hierarchy. Each library contains categories and subcategories, which contain automations (wizards and sensors).

By default, the wizard and sensor catalogs share an identical library structure.

Libraries are not created in Nintex Studio. They are created in Nintex Admin, where they are associated with their supported applications.

All about libraries:

  • Automations cannot be created directly under a library, but must be created in a category within that library

  • Automations can be moved among categories within a library, but they cannot be moved to other libraries

  • You can assign properties to each library (such as name and description) to provide information about the automations that it contains

  • Library status:

    • In active libraries, all automations in Published status appear in the Nintex Robot search results and can be accessed by Nintex Robot users

    • In inactive libraries, automations can be edited by Nintex Studio users, but they do not appear in Nintex Robot search results (regardless of status), and they cannot be accessed by Nintex Robot users

  • Each library is associated with predefined applications (desktop and/or web) for which automations can be recorded. The supported applications associated with a library are listed in the library's Applications list.
