People

This control is supported on Nintex Mobile in online mode only.

Use the People form control to allow form users to search for and select users. The following users can be selected:

Users from the Nintex Automation Cloud user directory. Navigate to the User management page in the Settings menu to view the list of users. See, User management.
Users from the Azure Active Directory when it's configured in User directory lookup. For details on how to connect to the user directory, see User directory lookup.

Important:

The People control is supported only in authenticated forms. If the control is added to an unauthenticated form, you will not be able to search for users. Configure the start event to give form access to authenticated users in the tenant. For more information, see the Configure start event section in Nintex - Form.
The People control is always returned as a collection variable for both single and multiple selections, and is available as a Start event form variable in your workflow. To find the People control collection in the Insert variables panel or Variables panel, click Start event > Form variables > the people control collection. To access individual responses or form control values, use the Loop for each workflow action.
The People control is supported in Nintex Mobile version 10 and above.
