Table data

You can use Table data variables to reference and display data from a Nintex Table in a Nintex Automation Cloud form.

If you click an object or variable from the list in the Tables data section, you can view all the variables it contains. A path is also displayed on top of the list to help you track the variable you selected.

You can add and manage Table data variables from the Data variables tab. For more information, see Data variables.

For more information about Nintex Tables, see the Tables help topic.

Note: Anonymous forms are not supported and table data variables will not load in the form when the form is configured to be accessible to anyone with the URL.
