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.

It appears that there is no easy way to terminate a bunch of workflows in SharePoint. Scenario A SharePoint List containing many items (eg. 100 items), and each item has an instance of the same workflow running on it. For whatever reason, you need to terminate all the workflows.
