Last week I had the honor of attending a three day Nintex Workflow training crash course (since we are now partnered with Nintex). After all three days had come to an end I began to wonder why I had not heard about Nintex sooner. The things Nintex Workflow can do are amazing. In short, Nintex is a graphical user interface used to create workflows in SharePoint.
Implementing SharePoint 2010 with Nintex Workflow 2010 is a simple process. It works almost like installing any program to your computer. Just follow the wizard clicking Next till you get to Finished. At that point the installation goes on without anything more from you. Once it is done you just have to enable the features for any site collections you want it for and you are ready to go.
Nintex helps you to Customize SharePoint workflows all within SharePoint! You never have to leave your browser to create amazing workflows. No need to open SharePoint Designer or Visual Studios. Designing workflows could never be any easier. Everything here, as I said earlier, is in a graphical user interface. All you need to do is click on an Action you want, say Request Approval, and drag it into the work space. It will automatically connect any actions together. All that is left for you do to is to do some simple configurations and you are done.
You can get more advanced if you need to, but you can do about anything without the need to code a single thing! This makes it easier for anyone to be able to create a workflow (anyone with permission to do so). Nintex can handle very intricate workflows both small and large. It can also handle loops and has many options for different types of condition settings. Whether you just want to set a simple yes/no condition or run multiple tasks in parallel, Nintex can do it for you easily. You can even have a workflow move back and forth between actions. For example: You have an approval workflow and you need the approval from different departments before you can offically display said document. In Nintex you can have it move from the Finance department to Accounting and back to Finance if Accounting rejects.
I learned a lot in the three days of training and can't wait to start using Nintex more often. Anyone could potentially pick this up and start creating workflows. The most difficult part is learning what each Action does, and then just learning your own Business Processes.
