New features

Create process from variation

A new feature has been added that grants users the ability to create a process from a variation. This option allows users to create a new process from a variation automatically, with no need to do anything manually to the variation or process. This works by unlinking the variation from the process and creating a new process using the information from when the variation was created.

For more information on creating a process from a variation refer to the Process Manager help guide.

Nintex Process Manager Process Reporting API

You can now view the following process data through the Nintex Process Manager Reporting API:

• Process health data - Publish status (in progress, published, awaiting approval, etc.) and review status of your processes

• Process usage data - Process views

Use the Reporting API to create your own custom queries to view trends and report on process excellence without having to run manual csv reports.

Additionally, you can:

• Use the Refresh option in the reporting tool to retrieve the latest updates from your Nintex Process Manager site once you’ve connected to the Reporting API.

• Report on historical data to access usage and health trends and insights.

• Securely query data using a valid API key, as we adhere to the strict OData protocol.

For more information on how to use the Reporting API and view your process data, see the Reporting API help section.

New features

Process editor improvements

We've rebuilt the underlying infrastructure powering our process edit page. Alongside improved performance, there are a few usability improvements. Read more about the changes here.

Minimode available in German

Buttons, labels, and all other content can now be displayed in German. Process content will still be displayed in the original language, but all Nintex Process Manager controls in minimode are now localised.

Performance improvements and resolved issues

New features

@mentions in Feedback

You can now @mention other users when providing feedback on a process. Along with the owner and expert, any user @mentioned in feedback will receive a dashboard notification if the setting Enable email notifications for @mentions is on.

Declining process approvals

When a process is declined the comment no longer goes to feedback history. It will remain on the process change log and editor feedback dashboards, so they can view the comment and make any necessary changes.

New process editor

We will be releasing a new process editor this month to a select few clients. Though the overall functionality remains the same, there will be some performance and functionality improvements. Read more about the changes here.

Supported browser updates

In line with Microsoft dropping support for Internet Explorer and Legacy Edge, these browsers are no longer supported when using Nintex Process Manager. The list of supported browsers can be found here.

Performance improvements and resolved issues

New process editor - coming soon

We will be releasing a new process editor in September. Performance and functionality improvements in the new editor will include:

• Correct icons to differentiate between system and lean tags on the Tags dropdown.

• Realtime updates between tabs.

• Faster loading times for group selection and adding triggers, inputs, or outputs.

New feature

Minimode for German viewers

We have localised the labels and controls in minimode links for our German readers. Process content will still need to be written in German, but the buttons, labels, and other controls can now be automatically translated. This setting is off by default and can be enabled in the minimode configuration section.

Note: This feature will only be available for EU customers until September.

Performance improvements and resolved issues

New feature

Changes to the right-hand feedback panel

Content from the Feedback tab on the Map page has now been moved to the right-hand panel, so you can read and reply to comments when viewing the Map, Procedure, or Edit tabs.

New features

You can now give feedback on a specific procedure item. The feedback includes the version number and the procedure item details everywhere feedback is recorded – the Feedback tab, reports, dashboard, and feedback email notifications.

Note: This feature is currently not enabled for clients using embedded processes. It will be made available in an upcoming release.

Performance improvements and resolved issues

You can now select users and roles to apply viewing access for process groups. The General permission has been replaced by the All Staff role. Roles and users assigned to top-level groups are inherited by subgroups. Additionally, moving and sorting of groups on the Manage Groups page will now be reflected in the Processes area.

• To align with the wider Nintex platform, Nintex Process Manager now has a new look and feel. We’ve made changes to our fonts, colours, and icons for improved accessibility. The Awesomeness meter, Governance dashboard, Bulletin Board and profile information on the Home page have been replaced by:

• A link to UserVoice for feature requests and ideas.

• A link to Nintex Community for questions, solutions, and access to shared knowledge.

• An occasional prompt for feedback via an NPS question, with the option to provide additional feedback later.

In keeping with the new look, customisable colours for process maps will no longer be available.

Introducing Process Checklists

Give process users clear, executable process steps every time with Nintex Process Manager Checklists.

Checklists ensure that end users have all the information they need to execute your processes, and tracks compliance with full audit records across every instance. Personalized notifications and clear accountability deliver smooth process completion, across teams, locations, and business units.

Key benefits include:

• Get the right information in the right hands at the right time

• Capture the realities of process execution, as it happens

Track process completion and accelerate compliance

Read more about Process Checklists in our  blog article or learn more about how  Checklists work through our Help documentation and introductory video.

We’re consolidating how processes are published

All ‘Publish’/’In Progress’  toggle settings have been removed. Customers will be progressively moved to our click-to-publish mechanism with this release.

The click-to-publish mechanism is the standard for publishing new processes as well as changes. It allows you to build out or make changes to your processes, and only make them available to participants once they’re finalised.

For more information on the differences and benefits of our click-to-publish mechanism, please read the  Nintex Community article. Should you have further questions about the change, please reach out to our friendly  Nintex Support team.

Available Resources:

• Help documentation: You’ll find all the details on how to connect your site and start querying the data in our Improvements Add-on Reporting API help documentation.

• Nintex Community blog post: You can also read more details about the Improvements Add-on Reporting API in our blog post.

  To get started, please contact our support team. They'll enable the feature and they can talk you through the next steps as it takes a little time for the data to become available once this service is enabled.

More efficient tag re-indexing

Re-indexing of lean and system tags has been made more intelligent so that it only re-indexes when necessary i.e. when a tag changes. Tags will continue to be added when you make changes to the process and save.

Performance improvements and resolved issues

• Users being unable to print a group of processes when automation features are enabled.

• Process feedback reports including feedback from archived process variants, causing a mismatch between feedback totals in the governance dashboard and the reports.

Note:  This update won’t affect any of the versioning for your processes, if the process was version 1.1 it will still be after this update.

Additional data for easy correlation in the Process List report

Additional data (columns) have been added when you export the Process List report so you can easily see the ones that have been added as shortcuts in other groups.

The export now contains the following additional columns for a process:

• Group Path: Process group path where the process shortcut is included

• Source Group: Name of the process group where the process is created

Any subsequent changes to the standard process will not be applied for the updated variant.

Note: Only triggers, inputs, outputs, and targets added to a standard process following this release will be propagated to the variants. The existing content will remain unlinked.

Performance improvements and resolved issues
