Data preferences

Use Nintex RPA LE Preferences to adjust the default Data preferences when creating botflows.

Example: By default, All Supported Files is selected for the data file type. If you know you will be regularly using comma-delimited files for data when creating botflows, select Comma-Delimited Files to set the option as selected by default.
