Forms

Forms provides a simple way to design and publish forms that collect accurate, up-to-date information from users. Use the visual designer to build forms with drag-and-drop controls, customize the form layout and appearance, and add business logic to create experiences that meet your organization's needs.

Forms can be used to collect information for a variety of business processes, such as submitting requests, capturing data, or gathering information from users. Forms can also work with other capabilities to support automated business processes.

• Start forms: A start form is designed when Nintex Form is selected as the start event for a workflow. Use Nintex Form as the start event to initiate your workflow every time a user submits this form. For more information, see Nintex - Form.

• Table forms: With Table forms, designers can create a form for a Nintex table which can be used to save data directly to the table when the form is submitted - without requiring a workflow. For more information, see Table forms.

• Task forms: A task form is designed when configuring a task action. The form is displayed to users interacting with tasks that are assigned to them. Use a task form to collect data and interact with users in your workflow. With a task action, the workflow emails the assignees their task, and the assignees provide a response such as an approval or a completed data field via the task form. You can send as many task forms from a workflow as you need. Design a task form when configuring a task action. For more information, see Assign a task to multiple users.

  Note: Task forms are not yet part of the list in the main Forms page and continue to be available through workflows.
