Create an orchestration

Before creating an orchestration, create the tables and activities that will be used in the orchestration. The workflows used will have an orchestration or component workflow start event.

See, Tables list, Create a workflow, Nintex - Orchestration.

1. Go to Orchestrations > All orchestrations.

2. Click Create orchestration.

3. Select one of the following options:

   Note: The option to add to a solution or create as a standalone is available only when you are using the new Nintex CE Platform Experience. Switch to the new experience to use this option. If you are not using the new experience, it's created as a standalone. See, Opt in to the new Nintex CE Platform.

   • Add to a solution: Create the Orchestration as part of a solution.

   • Create as standalone: Create as a standalone Orchestration, not as part of a solution.

4. If you selected Add to a solution, select one of the following options in the Create new Orchestration and add to a solution dialog:

   • Add to existing solution: Select a solution from the list.

   • Add to new solution: Create a new solution to add the Orchestration. Click Next, specify the Solution name, Solution description, and Color in the Create a new solution dialog, then click Create.

The Orchestration designer is displayed.

5. Click the Orchestration start tile to configure the start of the orchestration.

6. Select a Table. This table provides the context data for the orchestration. Select the table you created for the orchestration.

7. Click Add condition to set progression conditions that determines whether the orchestration starts, and if it does, which phase to move to first.

   1. Select the When, Operator, and Value fields of the condition. Click Add to add more conditions. For more information about the conditions builder, see Condition builder.

   2. In the Then field, select what should happen when the condition is met:

      • Go to phase: Move to the phase you define.

      • End orchestration: End the orchestration.

   3. Click Close to close the condition builder.

      Note: You can create multiple progression conditions, including multiple and nested conditions.

   • Go to phase: Move to the phase you define.

   • End orchestration: End the orchestration.
