Item properties
Item properties are workflow references that are available to list and reusable workflows. Item properties provide access to the list item or document referenced by the current execution context for the list or reusable workflow. Item properties are not available to site workflows.
Accessing item properties
The set of available item properties for a given workflow depends on both the workflow type and the SharePoint list, document library, or content type to which the workflow is associated.
The following table describes the item properties available in Nintex Workflow 2013 and the workflow types to which they apply.

To support the use of item properties in custom workflow actions, ensure that the appropriate controls are included on the configuration page. Any server control or user control that can display an Insert Reference button can include references to item properties. For example, you can use the ContextDataLookup control to allow the user to explicitly specify an item property as the value of a configuration setting. For more information, see Working with the ContextDataLookup control.
