Nintex Data

The Nintex Data connector enables using Nintex’s the secure data storage solution within app pages. This connector has a single connection: the tenant’s Nintex Data instance. This connection requires no configuration, coming pre-configured with all Nintex Workflow and Nintex Apps paired tenant environments.

Any runtime users must also have a Nintex Workflow user to access any Nintex Data table within Nintex Apps. For more information about adding users, see Nintex Workflow and Nintex Apps connected user management.

Terminology

Nintex Data tables can be accessed within an app page through model. While doing so, keep in mind the following terminology:

• Page Designer considers Data tables to be objects
• Page Designer considers table columns to be fields

These terms are effectively interchangeable, though this topic primarily uses object and field terminology.

Usage notes

• Reference fields do not support aggregations.

• The automatically generated created-by or edited field value when a user makes a change in a Nintex Data table is the Federation Id, not the Apps user Id, because the metadata is shared across both Nintex Workflow and Nintex Apps. For example, if you are filtering data records to only display records created by the running user, then the running user attribute is the federation Id.

Create a model

To create a model and select the preferred table as the model’s object:

1. Set Model Id and Model description as needed
2. Set the Connection to Nintex Data.
3. Set Object to the desired table.

Nintex Data models can be basic or aggregate.
