Nintex Workflow 2010

Nintex Workflow 2010 offers functional and feature rich SharePoint workflow to your organization. It takes the powerful-yet-easy design, deployment, management, and integration features of Nintex Workflow 2007 to the SharePoint 2010 platform, with improved process monitoring, extensibility, and designer productivity.

  • Any SharePoint user can create and maintain elaborate workflows using a browser-based graphical web browser interface
  • Monitor and manage workflow activity across lists, sites, collections, applications, and farms
  • Maximum value with minimum footprint and minimal IT administrative burden
  • Extend design and runtime options using Windows Workflow Foundation expertise

Nintex published the following videos:

Nintex Workflow 2010 – User Experience Enhancements
Nintex Workflow 2010 – Embracing SharePoint 2010 Platform Enhancements
Nintex Workflow 2010 – Extensions and Integration Enhancements
Nintex Workflow 2010 – Manageability Enhancements
The videos show the new style of Nintex Workflow 2010, base on SharePoint 2010. The usability was improved and is quite cool now. So, eg. it’s easier to create workflow variables during configuring workflow tasks.
More new features are:
  • Designing reusable workflows
    With Nintex Workflow 2010 you can create reusable workflows which can be bound to different list, libraries or content types. When using variables or columns which are not available in the current list (were the workflow is bound), the column is created automatically trough the workflow.
  • Possiblity to create site scoped workflows, which are not bound to specific types (eg. watch different lists,…)

  • An InfoPath form can be used inside a list. This is a new feature of SharePoint 2010. Nintex Workflow 2010 fully supports InfoPath forms.
  • Offering more custom actions and integration services (eg. BCS, Check availability (a user’s calendar is checked; exchange)).
  • New: Line of Business: Actions for doing actions on Microsoft CRM, Microsoft Project Server ans SAP
    These new actions are not representing code (like other workflow actions); they represent a workflow
  • More options for developer: you can easily create your own custom business objects for the tool bar (based on workflows and/or code)
  • Some lookup functions can be customized. For example: The lookup manager function is by default based to lookup in Active directory. Administrators have the possibility to change that in Central Administration; eg. base on SQL Server database

There are still lots of more new functionality – just have a look to the videos.
