The Nintex Live Catalog displays the list of available services that can be added to the workflow toolbox.

The list of services include a mix of free and paid for services. For example, StrikeIron are a subscription based provider. Most StrikeIron services offer a free trial of a limited number of calls per service. Any further usage will require paid subscriptions to be arranged directly with StrikeIron.

The Service Information (located at the right of the Catalog) will state if the service is free or paid and if registration is required to use the service.

Sorting

The services can be sorted in ascending or descending order by the following:

Searching

To search for services, use the search box located on the top right of the Catalog or use the Search tab which provides advanced options to narrow down the search scope.

In the Catalog, ratings and comments of services made by users (within the organization or from outside the organization) may be displayed. The displaying of the rating and comments is set at an administration level. Users browsing the Catalog would be able to:

The View all ratings and comments displays all the ratings and comments of the service, including any ratings and comments made about the previous version(s) of the service.

When posting a rating and comment, the user's domain username will be displayed with the rating and comments made when it is viewed by users within the organization. The option to put an Alias will be available if ratings and comments have been set to all Nintex Live users (includes users outside the organization).
