Tables

  A Designer role or higher is required to create tables. For information, see User roles.

Tables allow workflow and form designers to store, retrieve, and manage structured data that can be used across workflows and forms.

A table organizes data into rows and columns:

  • Each row represents a unique record.

  • Each column represents a property of that record.

You can reference table data:

  • In workflows, using Tables actions or table-based start events.

  • In forms, using a Table data variable.

For more information, see Tables actions and Table data.

Note: This video was recorded using the classic navigation. If you're using the new navigation, you may notice differences in layout and menus. While the overall functionality remains the same, navigation steps may vary slightly.

Access the Tables page

  • Go to Data.

    The Tables page is displayed and lists all the existing tables created in the tenant.

To access the Nintex Data Console from the Apps workspace, click Data in the Apps navigation bar.

Table permissions and roles

You can control who can access a table and what they can do with its data by assigning roles. Permissions determine access levels such as reading all rows, editing data, creating new rows, or restricting users to only their own entries. Roles also affect who can publish workflows that include the table. For more information, see Tables permissions and roles.

Table forms

Table forms let you create a web-based form directly tied to a data table so users can submit and edit data without requiring a workflow. For more information, see Table forms.
