Accessing Sites

There are different ways you can launch sites, depending on the product or environment you are working with. This topic explains how to access sites from various environments.

Start by identifying the site that you want to access from the list below:

You may see additional options. These headings reflect the environment you are working in. Depending on which type of environment, follow the instructions under that heading. For SharePoint, expand SharePoint, then select the site you wish to access.

In the Management or Workspace site, you can also access other sites in the same environment by clicking on the logo in the top left-hand corner, and selecting the site you want to go to:

Management

You would typically use the Management site to administer your environment and perform tasks like managing workflows and worklist items, creating and managing integration and SmartObjects, administering security settings, and more.

You can use a supported web browser to access the Management site in Nintex Automation. The URL for the management site would be something like: https://[YourEnvironmentName]/management, for example, https://demo.denallix.com/management. If you do not know the URL of your environment, contact your administrator (most likely someone in IT) for the Management site's URL.

If you have the product installed on your computer, or are working on the server, you can launch the Management site from the Windows start menu (Start > [All Programs] > K2 > Management).

Designer

You would typically use the Designer site to create, edit, and publish applications and application elements, such as views, forms, SmartObjects, and workflows.

You can use a supported web browser to access the Designer site in Nintex Automation. The URL for the designer site would be something like: https://[YourEnvironmentName]/designer, for example, https://demo.denallix.com/designer. If you do not know the URL of your environment, contact your administrator (most likely someone in IT) for the Designer site's URL.

If you have the product installed on your computer, or you are working on the server, you can launch the Designer site from the Windows start menu (Start > [All Programs] > K2 > the Designer).

Workspace

You would typically use the Workspace site to manage your workflow tasks, generate and install applications, access other workspaces, and view reports.

You can use a supported web browser to access the Workspace site in Nintex Automation. The URL for the workspace site would be something like: https://[YourEnvironmentName]/workspace, for example, https://demo.denallix.com/workspace. If you do not know the URL of your environment, contact your administrator (most likely someone in IT) for the Workspace site's URL.

If you have the product installed on your computer, or you are working on the server, you can launch the Workspace site from the Windows start menu (Start > [All Programs] > K2 > Workspace).
