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 Automation Cloud and Apps paired tenant environments.

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

Usage

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.

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.

  • Any model on a Nintex Data table can have a maximum sort of 1 column at runtime
  • Nintex Data table metadata (its fields/columns and their settings) can be updated from the Data Console within Apps or with the Data section of Automation Cloud. For information about configuring Nintex Data or working with tables, see the Nintex Data topic.
