Installing K2 - How much time should I plan?

Hello, a quick question, have any of you installed a K2 environment yourselves? If so: how many hours should I plan for the actual installation/configuration knowing that it will be my first K2 installation and it is a simple DEV environment (so we wouldn't need a high number of servers)? This is without setting up the server infrastructure (we already have the servers up and running).

Nintex Forms – load SQL Server table contents into repeating section

This post is a “how to” tutorial, showing how  can a data from SQL Server table be loaded into a “Repeating section” control in Nintex Forms. Needless to say, having that data inside the control allows then to manipulate it and treat each row as a single record, thanks to the possibility of saving contents of the control as XML. The solution I created was a bit more advanced than just importing data from SQL into repeating section, as it was allowing to make bulk edit/ delete operations on the loaded data. This tutorial however shows just the loading part.General assumptionsThe solution works in the following way:The form has a “SQL request” control, that on form load gets all the data from a specific table. Data is returned in XML format. Inside a form there is a repeating section with several fields defined. The script, once triggered, parses the XML from the “SQL request” control and for each row it populates data to defined fields inside the repeating section. After a row is done,

Hide Repeating Section Rows based on Dropdown Value in Repeating Section

Hello, I'm wondering if this is even possible.  I built a form for customers to request work for their projects. My plan is for each project to have it's own form.  If a customer comes back for more work down the line, they just need to input a new request, not all the specific data related to their project.  The request section of the form is a repeating section.  This will allow us to track all the requests a specific project team has input over time.  The repeating section collects some data which includes a "Status" dropdown field that has values of Submitted, Development, Testing, Complete.  What I would like to know is if the repeating section row has a value of "Complete" for the Status field, can I hide those rows so that only ones that are active are showing? Thanks, John

Button Click: Clear the contents of a Multi-Line Text Box

Hi Folks, I have a form and a reset button in one of the sections. The button should clear a Checkbox, a text field, a date field, and a multi-line text field. This workd fine for me currently with the code below as the MLT control is connected to a "Multiple lines of text" list column set as "Plain Text". function resetCancellation() { NWF$('#'+ jsvar_CancelCheck_CHK).attr('checked',false); NWF$('#'+ jsvar_CancellationComments_MLT).val(""); NWF$('#'+ jsvar_CancellationDate_DTE).val(""); NWF$('#'+ jsvar_CancellationSignature_TXT).val(""); } This solution is adequate for me at the moment but what if I wanted to set the Multiple lines of text" list column to "Rich Text" or "Enhanced Rich Text"? The javascript above does not work for that configuration. I saw some info 5that seemed related here but could not seem to understand how to make it work for the button click scenario. Does anyone have any advice on how one would change my function to clear the MLT connected to Rich Text

Add User To Role using API

I am attempting to add/delete users to a role using the SourceCode.Security.UserRoleManager.Management API.  Does anyone have a code snippet on how to do this. I am creating the Role object but the only add method I see is LoadData and that apears to be for the entire role and not just one member.

Hi,We plan to fill values from workflow variables into an existing Word form. There are many checkboxes where we want to assign boolean values. Unfortunately the checkbox is always replaced by the boolean value text (true/false) instead of being checked or unchecked.Is there a type of conversion to preserve our checkbox controls in the Word template?ThanksRoman

Workflows getting duplicated when deploying from TEST environment to PRODUCTION environment in K2 cloud

K2 Version:  K2 Cloud Update 19 FP02 Workflow is getting duplicated when deploying from TEST environment to PRODUCTION environment in K2 cloud.This is creating confusion as there are multiple workflows in designer and while I try to open , it doesn’t seem to show the latest changes from test environment. The same when I checked in K2 Management, the newly deployed version shows the newly added tasks :O I want to get rid of these duplicates safely without affecting the users as its production environment. I also want to make sure ,since the latest and default version in K2 management shows the latest changes, it will work as expected. If anyone one has faced similar issue, please share on how you fixed it.  Any help would be much appreciated!!Thanks

Create Custom Login form

Hi, We have a worfklow and SmartForms integration.Forms trigger workflow and goes to different stages. At approval stage when approver (may be current logged in user) clicks on Approve button , the requirement is to verfiy that user's credentials again by poping up a form for entering username and password field. Also that form will show readonly informatiom about that user (user profile fields like designation,location etc.) Looking at some post on the community I tried to use AD samrtObject where I am able to get information about user properties but I am stuck with password.How I will validate the password entered by user. I mean validation mgith be against AD. I tried following posts but not able to achieve above. http://community.k2.com/t5/K2-blackpearl/Making-a-login-form/td-p/56037http://community.k2.com/t5/K2-blackpearl/K2-Login-Form/m-p/80282#M23666

Require comment on task not working

I have a flexitask to which I have added a More Information outcome in addition to the standard Approve and Reject outcomes.  I have set the Reject and More information outcomes to require comment, however I am able to complete the task without adding a comment. I am using a custom task form, as well, so I decided to put a validation on the Comment to force the requirement with a form rule.  But this also is allowing the task to be completed without entering a comment.  Any suggestions?  Screenshots attached.

How to capture the Display Name of multiple people from a Person or Group column and insert them in a notification

Updated: Thanks to ‌ for suggesting the best solution.In this scenario we have a Person or Group column that allows multiple selection which means users are able to insert more than one person in the column. The goal is to capture the Display Name of the people on the list. In order to achieve this goal follow the steps below:Create the Person or Group  column.

Workflow failed to run and state machine

Hi, I have a workflow in my environment where there is a State Machine, sometimes when changing state the workflow errors (and it sends a notification) with this message: "WorkflowName failed to run" but after that it can continue and it goes correctly to the next state. I remember that on the old connect forum there were a lot of threads about similar problem, but a lot of them ended linking this thread (http://connect.nintex.com/forums/thread/16685.aspx) but everytime I try to reach it, also changing from that url to the new oldconnect.nintex.com/... I get redirected to the new community site and I'm not able to read what is written in it. Do you have any suggestion on how to solve this problem?Safe looping is currently disabled on that environment. ThanksGiacomo

NWC Deployments Best Practices for Multiple Environments

OverviewAfter creating an NWC workflow, it must be deployed for consumption. There are 3 different approaches one can take when deploying an NWC workflow.Use OOTB UI deployment with one environment. Not recommended, especially if the solution being deployed has several connections and each could have different environment configurations.Note: It’s also possible to export/import from/to the same environment, as you are able to set a new name as “import time”. Use the OOTB UI deployment to export/import to multiple environments. Recommended and outlined below. Use NWC's API to handle deployments in bulk to multiple environments. Powerful automated approach for solutions with multiple workflows, but proceed with caution, as the aforementioned deployment tool has yet to be fortified and undergo rigorous testing. This has been tested w/about 100 workflows and appears to work well. The only shortcoming of using the API is you cannot import a workflow if one with the same name already exists,
