The Nintex Workflow State Machine is a very useful piece of functionality. Not only is it a great enhancement to workflow design, it also improves maintenance of a workflow in the future. Your workflow logic may require you to jump between difference levels business logic. An example of this, is if you have several levels […]
A situation recently arose, where someone wanted to schedule a Nintex Workflow on the 3rd Monday of every month. Out-of-the-box, there really isn’t a way to do this, because the user interface for configuring the schedule of a workflow only allows you to schedule it every ‘n’ number of hours, days or months.

This is especially important, given that in the SharePoint 2007, you can’t create a declarative workflow for a Content Type. You could create a workflow, save […]
Web Services are quite handy, but some of the data that gets returned can look like giberrish. This is especially true when you are dealing with XML that gets returned. A scenario I came across recently, was getting a list of SharePoint users that are in a SharePoint group. This is possible via the SharePoint […]
