SharePoint Designer - Tool to customize SharePoint
We have been using SharePoint Designer 2013 with both SharePoint Server 2013 and SharePoint Server 2016.
It is used by several departments in our organization :
- IT services
- BU like Data Center, DevOps, etc
How are we using SharePoint Designer ?
- Update specific pages
- Create workflows
- Access libraries
- Publish pages
- Update master pages
- Workflows
- Editing master pages
- Publishing features
- Synchronization
- Application's size
- Application's speed
If you need to implement custom workflows for specific business processes, then SharePoint Designer is well suited.
SharePoint Designer allows you to create workflows with task approval, email notifications, assign variables and update SharePoint Lists / Documents properties.
In our company, we have created specific workflows for :
- Purchase order
- RH forms validation like annual employee review
- Dematerialized existing forms and validation
- Workflow
- Master page
- Publishing
- High set-up time
- Complex tool
Compared to Nintex, SharePoint Designer is very far away. I am only talking here for 2 main features of SharePoint Designer :
- Workflows
- Forms
But for these 2 features, Nintex is way above SharePoint Designer
- Reviewing Workflows - but again, don't create new ones
- Reviewing content on old SharePoint farms
- It is being phased out by Microsoft so they are not improving it anymore.
- Viewing workflows on old SharePoint farms
- Reviewing content on old SharePoint farms
- It is helpful for migrations
