Workflow Diagram control

The Workflow Diagram control can be used to display a Nintex workflow on a form.

Note: The Workflow Diagram control is visible only when Nintex Workflow has been installed and configured.

This feature is not supported in Nintex Mobile.

Note: This feature is available in the Classic Forms Designer only.

Control settings  

Following are the fields and options visible in the control settings dialog box for this form control.

Note: Several settings allow selection of Yes, No, or Expression. Selecting Expression allows you to construct a formula from reference tokens and functions. The expression must resolve to a Yes/No value at runtime to be valid. If the expression does not resolve to a Yes/No value, the setting will revert to the default.

Note: For information about the control properties tab in the Nintex Forms ribbon, see Control properties tab.
