 Question How do i configure parallel paths in the different workflow designers?   K2 Studio / K2 for Visual Studio K2 Designer HTML Designer Answer It's sometimes hard to go from one workflow designer to another. And one difficult mechanic (that is uber useful) is the parallel workflow path.    Below, i have consolidated the documentation for all 3 designers:   1. K2 Studio / K2 for Visual Studio   The most common tutorials for parallel paths will use K2 Studio (notably the Temporary Access Tutorial:  http://help.k2.com/onlinehelp/k2blackpearl/userguide/4.7/default.htm#resources/projects/tempaccessstudio/temp_access.htm)   Specifically, a tutorial walkthrough can be found here: http://help.k2.com/onlinehelp/k2blackpearl/userguide/4.7/default.htm#resources/projects/tempaccessstudio/tempaccessp2.htm       2. K2 Designer (works for SP or non-SP)   Use Outcomes to make parallel paths, and then use Merge under "Using Outcomes To Implement Parallel Workflow Paths"    https://help.k2.com/onl

I have a list called an "Issue Log" that users fill out a form to log new issues with. I have a field in the form called Issue ID that is connected to a column of the same name. Not sure how but I have ran into a problem where it is creating duplicates of the same Issue ID. This doesn't always happen and seems to be at random. The workflow is set up to Query the list and store the results in a variable called "nextNumber">then I set a variable "prefixedNextNumber equals value fn-padLeft(nextNumber4,0)" then I build a string I-{WorkflowVariable:prefixedNextNumber} and then set a field value of Issue ID equals WorkflowVariable:prefixedNextNumber, I do a math operation calling on Workflow Date nextNumber plus 1 and store the result in another variable called nextNumberPlus1, I update the item in Master Numbering List-Issues, set variable to prefixedNextNumber list look up current item Owners and lastly set the variable textAssignedTo list look up current item Owners before requesting a

Hello community,I'm thinking, if there is way how You can schedule your workflow with custom conditions?In my way - I need run the workflow 2 days before end of month. What are the options?I could run every day workflow and check if today date is my needed day, but run workflow everyday to check... For me it looks like  unnecessary work.So,  share your knowledge and experiences!

I have a choice field where multiple items can be selected. There is one instance where if a users selects a Virtual Desktop, they also need to have Remote Access. Is it possible to automatically check Remote Access so the user does not forget that part? Here is the field:

I am working on a form where an end user can request a promo code.  The promo codes are generated by the vendor and given to us, so I was hoping I could have them in a separate list, then have a workflow that pulls the next available one and assigns it to the new request once the form has been submitted.  Is there a way using list lookups to make this happen?  Thanks!

Hello Community,We have created a form on a list that has custom CSS for labels, rich text, and choices.  When we print to PDF non of the custom CSS gets applied to the PDF, especially with CSS on Choices so that you cant see what was selected on the form.  Labels and Rich Text we can deal with the difference but Choice is a major concern if someone can't see what they had selected after printing the form out.  The CSS we are using for the Choices options is down below.  Any insight into this would be greatly appreciated.@import url(//maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/font-awesome/4.6.3/css/font-awesome.min.css);/** Choice Control **//* unchecked icon */.faCircle input[type=radio] + label:before { content: "f10c"; }/* checked icon */.faCircle input[type=radio]:checked + label:before { content: "f058"; color: green; } /* allows space for check mark */.faCircle input[type=radio]:checked + label:before { letter-spacing: 10px; }/** Check Boxes **//* unchecked icon */.faToggle input[type=checkbox] +

 Question Why are my nested AD groups not resolving?  Answer This is a question asked by many and the answer is not always simple. But i always try to go through the following steps to make sure that i've checked everything:   1. Refresh the Identity cache As many of you know, we have an Identity Refresh Tool in the community that you can run to refresh the [Identity].[Identity] table.    It's basically a script that goes and resolves the following:   update [K2].[Identity].[Identity]set ExpireOn = getdate(),Resolved = 0,ContainersResolved = 0,ContainersExpireOn = getdate(),MembersResolved = 0,MembersExpireOn = getdate()where Name = 'DomainGroup_Name'   Note that "Syncronize Groups" in SharePoint does not do the same thing. It does not go through the containers and members-- it will just check to make sure that group exists, and go on with it's day. So usually, this misses Nested Groups.    2. Run UMUser Similar to manually refreshing the Identity Cache, i always check to make sure tha

Hi, I want to start workflow automatically daily at a perticular time. Please suggest, how to do this?

I understand how to bundle values into a collection variable, but what about the reverse? At a certain point in one of my workflows I have several values set in a collection variable that I would then like to loop through, setting each as an individual variable.For example, let's say I have the following workflow variables:colCurrency (with three values stored), and varCurrency1, varCurrency2, varCurrency3I simply want to cycle through colCurrency automatically (and with as few steps as possible) to dynamically set each value in the collection equal to a separate varCurrency variable. As you can imagine, I ask because I am working with many more fields than the example. I am using Nintex 2013, and so Set Variable can only be used for a single variable at a time.

 Symptoms Is there a way to schedule K2 Processes, if you don't have SharePoint 2010. E.g If you have SharePoint 2013....or no SharePoint instance at all, how will K2 schedule a process to run every Friday? Diagnoses Build just a simple application that just references the K2 API to start a process instance Resolution Customer was able to resolve this issue through the community post: http://community.k2.com/t5/K2-blackpearl/How-to-schedule-K2-workflows-that-run-periodically/td-p/76465 

Hi,I need to automatically start up a number of instances of a workflow process at the end of each financial quarter. Is there anyway to configure K2 to do start up processes based on a time trigger rather than a user starting it off? The idea is to escalate emails as reminders to users to begin certain tasks. Thanks,  Steve

I have a list view, and unbound Item View on a SmartForm. The goal is to populate the item view when a user selects a row in the list view.  Within the SmartForm rules, I can create a rule that captures the click event on the Item View, but the steps after this are not coming to mind

I have a workflow that will assign a review task on a per document basis to users. This workflow also raises the permissions for the reviewer to a contribute level for the duration of the task. The workflow itself works fine.I wanted to avoid a case where the reviewer would complete the task (and return permissions to normal) but leave the document checked out (potentially without the ability to check it back in).I can build this into the workflow to kick back to the user requiring check-in before proceeding with permission restoral in the workflow. However I thought it would be cleaner to validate the check-in at task form. I created a Nintex Task form to validate the "OK" button if the document was checked out to that user or not.The validation part works fine, however, now when the document is checked in, the form passes validation but now I  get the error that ..."XXXX.docx is not checked out.  You must first check-out this document before making changes." None of the document fiel

Hello all, we are in a gov cloud with Multi Factor Authentication, consequently I cannot use any of the O365 actions that require username and password, specifically "O365 Update Item Permissions". Nintex and my admin are trying to come up with a solution. Is there any other way to grant temporary contribute rights to form submitters ( the form library updates items in another list that they do not have permission to) Is there a possibility to run a powershell script from Nintex or use a SharePoint Designer 2013 App Step in combination with the Nintex workflow? these are just ideas based on limited knowledge. I have not yet built any workflows in Designer or Nintex that require modifying permissions.I'm hoping someone may have faced the same problem, thanks for any help. I am trying the action with Publisher User as the username and password, not sure if it will work.

I'm using the "Create an element in another site" action in a Nintex workflow.I'm trying to copy every field of an element in another list. The problem I have is, with a number field, when I define the value, if the source value is empty, it sets the destination value at 0. Is there a way to do it so it would be empty too.For a text field, I can set the value as "Value" and insert a reference for a field.But, for a number field, I need to select "Research in a list", Source : "Current element" and Field : [my field].Thank you!

I'm pretty new to Nintex and workflows in general.  I have been tasked with building a workflow based on a calendar list in SharePoint 2010 where, when I create a specific kind of event (a meeting), another event (this one a range of days) automatically populates based on the date of the first event (a range of 5 days--from 18 days before the meeting date to 13 days before). The research I’ve done suggests I’ll need to use the Query List and Calculate Date actions before I can even think about getting to the Create Item action, but I am at a complete loss as to how to configure either of them to achieve the result I need.  Has anyone dealt with a workflow like this before?  I’ve spent a week Googling for advice and haven’t had any luck.
