Nintex Module

What is the Nintex Module?

The Nintex Module is a module for Collaboration Manager 2010/2013/2016 OnPremise for SharePoint Server and Foundation and is responsible for the roll-out of Nintex Workflows in new or existing Workspaces.

The module first takes the created Workflows that are in a template and saves them in the Templatefile of the Collaboration Manager. When a Workspace is created with Collaboration Manager, the Module will attach the Workflows to the lists, libraries and content-types of the new site after the creation process. Additionally the Nintex Module always keeps the Worksflows up to date with the Template.

Does everyone who uses Nintex also need the Nintex Module?

No, because many customers don’t use Nintex in their Templates. The combination of Nintex and Collaboration Manger is often used. Note that, Nintex is mostly used only to optimize the processes concerning the Workspacelist and Templatelibrary. So the Workspacecreation is complemented by an authorization. For this purpose the Nintex Module is not necessary.

No, the Support is exclusively for the Nintex Module. The Support only includes the saving, roll-out and the synchronization of the Workflow.
