Actions toolbox

The Actions toolbox is part of the Nintex Workflow designer. The Actions toolbox lists the actions that can be used in the designer canvas to create workflows. For more information about workflow actions available with Nintex Workflow 2016, see Workflow actions. For instructions on adding actions to the designer canvas, see Add actions to a workflow.

The Actions toolbox contains the following tabs.

• Core: Actions provided with the product that operate within SharePoint, separated by toolbox groups such as "Commonly used" and "Libraries and lists."

The Core tab contains the following action groups by default.

• Commonly used
• Libraries and lists
• Logic and flow
• Operations
• Provisioning
