Hello, I'm working on a request form and what I want to do is a button which, when the user pushes it, opens the list item that the user saved a while ago.For example, Andrea, a user, asked access to a Sharepoint Site, she pushed the saved button, a list item is created, the ID of this item is 1, and the access is granted for Andrea, she's happy.Two weeks later Andrea wants to complete her request, she needs an access to another Sharepoint Site and wants to edit her previous request in order to complete her previous request. The easiest way for her is to push a button which leads her to the item with ID 1.Each user has a user ID in this form, for example Andrea has ID 34 and her colleague, Pedro, ID 75.So in my previous example User_ID_34 created Request_ID_1.I think there could be a way to attach the User_ID with Request_ID but I couldn't figure it out yet. Is there a way to do that? Sorry for my English, I'm a little rusty. Kind Regards Celine Obringer

 Symptoms We restored a 4.6.10 DB to a new SQL instance, and did a "clean install" pointing to the existing database. The upgrade failed with the following errors.1.) System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: There is already an object named 'Form' in the database. CREATE SCHEMA failed due to previous errors.2.) Target did not complete successfully: SourceCode.Data.Form.4.16060.7.5.PostUpgrade.sqlTarget did not complete successfully: SourceCode.Data.Server.4.16060.7.5.PostUpgrade.sql Diagnoses 1.) The upgrade failed, because the "Form" schema already existed, but the schema owner was some "random user". Because the K2Service account could not see the schema, it tried to re-create it, and SQL server threw an error.2.) When looking at the log files, we noticed that the [DATABASESTRUCTURE] variable token was missing form the HostServer.Configuration table. Resolution 1.) We made the "K2_Schema_Owner" the owner of the "Form" schema.2.) We injected the [DATABASESTRUCTURE] variable token into the

We have migrated from SharePoint 2010 to SharePoint 2013‌ and the "Request Approval" step - which works in 2010 - notification email now directs users to the actual Nintex Flexi-Task instead of the ApproveReject.aspx page/view. In addition we have noticed that the Request Approval task email notification no longer says "Click here to approve or reject" or "Click here to complete request". Instead it says, "Click here to add comments".The "Assign Flex-Task" step seems to work just fine, however.Looking at the html for the email notifications all instances refer to reflink="{Common:ApprovalUrl}" for the here link. Additionally, this does not seem to occur on other site collection migrated workflows. @Chand Karuturi and @Shakti Mishra had the same question but I do not see any response to them. Please help. 

Hello,When user clicks the Approval URL(request approval action) in email notification it is not redirecting to approve/reject view, it is being redirected to a edit form of the workflow task list. When I use flexi task action it is working. I have this problem in one of our 2013 site collection.Thanks

Hello everyone,I have an assign flexi task on which lazy approval was enabled.

Does anyone have any rules logic that for show/hiding a field based on two different columns?  The scenario I am trying to accomplish is in my form I have a field called Category.  If the user selects "Capital" from that dropdown it will display another field in the form called "Capital Type" using the rule Category !="Capital" which works.  However, I also have a requirement that on another column named "SubCategory" that includes 3 choices and if one of those are selected then I'll need to display the "Capital Type" field as well. Does anyone have any suggestions for logic to have the "Capital Type" field displayed based on rules from two columns?  If I append my current formula rule to include checking against the second column the rule stops working. Does NOT work Category != "Capital" || SubCategory !="Capital IT Project" 

Hi,I have a lookup control inside a Nintex Form.I want to use one source view or another depending on whether or not the current user belongs to a group.So that some users will be able to chose some elements, and others won't.I went to the lookup configuration, source view, and I set this formula: if(fn-IsMemberOfGroup("myGroup"),"View1","View2")But it is not working, the lookup control gets the default view. I also tried to remove the double quotes from the view names but it didn't work.Any idea?Thanks in advance.

 Symptoms Issue:How to enable wsHttpBinding for Workflow WCF Service, following error occurs - Attempted to perform an unauthorized operation. Diagnoses Diagnosis:For the issue mentioned above, the developers provided the following information:"For claims there is new validation added to see if the passed in identity is a claim, this involves verifying the type of authentication the identity of the passed in user is using,When the K2WebService does not have sufficient permissions to view that AuthenticationType for the user we get the "Attempted to perform an unauthorized operation" message."They also stated the user will need to do the following:"You will need to set the AllowedImpersonationLevel on the client before making the call.Example:isc.ClientCredentials.Windows.AllowedImpersonationLevel = System.Security.Principal.TokenImpersonationLevel.ImpersonationThe reason for this is the default Impersonation level is Identification, which causes the process to fail when we try to resol

 Symptoms Expiration date for permanent licenses is set to 1/1/2007 on reports. Diagnoses Expiration date for permanent licenses is set to 1/1/2007 on reports. Resolution This is a known issue which is set to be addresses on a future release. Which version, if any, this will be included in has not been determined at this time. Product Management makes these decisions based on criticality, customer demand, and other factors. 

My WF has selected to record messages in the NintexWorkflowHistory.  I see items in NintexWorkflowHistory, but I can not find any of the "Log in History List" I created...Where do I find these  I want to troubleshoot an error that is occurring so I placed Log In History List thru-out the WF, but I do not see these logs  ?  

I am using a WF to create a Word document (using a word template that has content controls) to print a form from a SharePoint list that includes the user responses when filling out the form.  Everything works well except any multi-line text fields (with enhanced rich text).  These all display the html along with the text in the content control and make it unreadable for most.Does anyone know a way to strip the HTML from the text before displaying?I've been experimenting with inline functions in Nintex like 'XmlDecode', but no luck so far.

Update K2 Mobile for android to the latest version.  

 Symptoms Received the following error when deploying package:"Dependency could not be created: System.Exception: Dependency could not be created. Parent does not exist" Diagnoses N/A Resolution Make sure database in source environment and database in target environment are in sync. 

 Symptoms When trying to send an email that contains HTML content using the K2 Process Email event, plus signs are converted to spaces (actual spaces, not (andamp#20"). When the process is called from a SmartForm and the SmartForm passes plus signs, they are translated to "andamp#43". How do I preserve the plus signs? I need to preserve them when sending HTML content that contains base64 embedded images, which have plus signs.Source: andltimg width="595" height="220" src="data:image/pngbase64,/9j/4AAQSkZJRg+++andltsnipandgt" v:shapes="Picture_x0020_1"andgtandlt/fontandgtandlt/pandgtResult From K2 Process Email Eventandltimg width="595" height="220" src="data:image/pngbase64,/9j/4AAQSkZJRg andltsnipandgt" v:shapes="Picture_x0020_1"andgtandlt/fontandgtandlt/pandgtResult from SmartFormandltimg width="595" height="220" src="data:image/pngbase64,/9j/4AAQSkZJRgandamp#43andamp#43andamp#43andltsnipandgt" v:shapes="Picture_x0020_1"andgtandlt/fontandgtandlt/pandgt D

 Symptoms  The user has a workflow that errors when it reaches the step that executes the Restore Version Documents wizard. The error it throws is as follows: Message: The attempted operation is prohibited because it exceeds the list view threshold enforced by an administrator.  Diagnoses  While this is a legit error exception that's getting bubbled down from SharePoint (K2 leverages the SP CSOM API for executing the 'Restore a previous version' functionality at runtime) due to the size of items in the document library i.e. over 9K items, we were able to negate the issue by doing a re-design of the 'Restore to Previous Version' event in the K2 Designer wizard . The redesign involved adding a new method to the underlying SmartObject definition that retrieved the document items using the ID in lieu of the document name.  Resolution An isolated fix was provided to customer in the form of a patch. The FIX itself will be pushed into the product when Appit 1.5 Update 2 ships sometime mid-Jan

 Symptoms I have a list view with a column for rating. When I edit or create a new item, it shows stars. But once it?s saved, it shows number. Is there anything else I need to do? Diagnoses This is expected behavior and currently by design -- not all the controls can be used in list views. The RATING control is one of them, and it will only display the star ratings in edit mode only i.e. "editable list". Resolution The community article below that talks about a potential workaround: http://community.k2.com/t5/K2-blackpearl/Creating-a-star-rating/m-p/74682#M21885This is currently logged as a Feature Request to be "changed" in the product in future. 

 Symptoms Whenever you search for a group or groups using the context browser in K2 Workflow Designer, not all groups that exist in AAD/AD show up.In this particular case the customer has their Groups/Security Groups synced to AAD, and some of these groups do not show up when searching for them via the context browser in K2 Workflow Designer. Diagnoses The User Task Participant search bar only returns/searches andlt 100 items. And, when searching for a specific group the search appears to only filter through andlt 100 items, thereby returning zero items if the specific group is searched "later", alphabetically.The issue does not appear to be dependent on the group type. Resolution This has been identified as a defect and currently on schedule to be fixed in a future update/release of Appit.In the meantime you can work around this limitation by setting up the missing groups as data fields, and using that to do the assignments in the workflow steps. 

 Symptoms Getting an ?access denies exception ? you do not have permission to perform this action or access this resource? when trying to execute a Create Folder method against a document library using the SharePoint Content Service.Correlating error entries from the hostserver log:The file name you specified could not be used.

 Symptoms We are seeing an issue where we are getting long running script error when we are loading the data for the rich text box. Looks like the issue is happening when the user inputs data in the rich text box by copying a text from the word with formatting like numbering, bullets, etc., When the data is persisted into DB, it is having a lot of tags for new line(andltbrandgtandlt/brandgt). The new line is getting added because of formatting. when this data is loaded, we are getting long running script and the form freezes. Diagnoses The issue is not so much with the copying and pasting but rather due to the fact that any input in the control that contains the line break tag andltbrandgt, when saved to the database, the value, when returned suddenly has a closing andlt/brandgt tag. If you were to add another andltbrandgt tag in between the current tags, it would do the same.This issue only occurs in blackpearl 4.6.10. It's doesn't occur in the blackpearl 4.6.11 and up that uses a lat

 Symptoms We have three controls connected to SQL SmartObjects wired to SharePoint List Columns. Have 8 plus additional columns wired to SharePoint list columns.When trying to save the list data, the browser reports the 'spinning' green circle and doesn't save the data to the list. Diagnoses It was determined SmartForms was sending the broker package request along with associations (which in this case is pointless). The associations will join the tables coming back from SQL and filter out results.In this particular scenario this returns 0 results, and it takes a lot of time to do the joins causing the performance lag and the long spinner. Resolution We identified a bug with the SmartForm runtime that was causing a bottleneck when sending the Form data back to the K2 server for processing.This has been addressed in Appit 1.5 Update 1.  

 Symptoms If you enable hidden checkbox for existing workflow process data fields, it causes previous data mappings on the Start Workflow action to be removed when editing the action and you get the warning message below:"The configuration has been adjusted automatically. Mappings were found that are no longer valid for the context. These mappings have been removed.Save these changes or they will be lost." Diagnoses This is currently as designed. Resolution One way one can get around this is to un-hide the hidden process data fields.A feature request has been logged for the ability to hide data in workflow reporting without breaking workflow design. This is intended to cater for scenarios where the data NEEDS to be hidden due to its sensitive nature or if it's highly protected information. 

 Symptoms SmartForms are not rendering properly and appear to be corrupted.Specifically, there is a blank area that appears above the form header and below the form. These areas are not part of the form design. The view controls appear to have been resized and have been moved to the left side of the screen. The design was for the view controls to be located in the center of the screen. The form controls (buttons) have also been moved to the left. I have checked various forms throughout our environment and it appears that they are all experiencing this same issue. This includes out of the box Appit auto-generated forms as well as those that have been customized. Diagnoses Issue was determined to be with "bad" server side cache that causes the client side to download "corrupted" bundle files. This consequently caused the styling on the SmartForms to be off or not to render correctly. Resolution This can be fixed one of two ways:- Performing an IIS reset.- Clear out the SmartForms(Runtime

 Symptoms When attempting to browse SmartObjectd items under the SmartObjects Servers via the Context Browser in K2 Studio/K24VS an ?object reference? error is thrown, see video: http://screencast.com/t/i7UCSoPn1y"System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.at SourceCode.Workflow.Common.HostedServers.SmartObjects.GetSmartObjectGuidCollectionForCategory(Int32 categoryId)at SourceCode.Plugins.SmartObjectBrowser.Framework.ServerItem.OnLoadItems()" Diagnoses The error exception is normally due to a parent Category ID that no longer exists but still being referenced by child Category ID. Resolution To fix this, you first need to identify the missing parent category ID and the child category ID referencing it. After which you have to map the latter to a different Parent Category ID.Please contact K2 Support for further assistance on this, if you run into a similar issue.  

 Symptoms Running into an issue where rich text (HTML) formatting on email task notification steps keep getting hosed every time they deploy or make a change to the workflow in Designer.See before and after screenshot below:Before - http://screencast.com/t/DYXlJE1zmzxAfter - http://screencast.com/t/cdjDBXYoWNNotice all the bolded text get cramped into a single paragraph. Appears the formatting loses the carriage returns on those bolded texts.The behavior is intermittent in that the formatting breaks randomly for the task steps in the workflow design. Diagnoses Issue appears to be with the way the Designer parses the XML definition for the process when retrieving it at design time. Resolution This issue is scheduled to be addressed in a later version of the product post K2 blackpearl 4.7.In the meantime, as a workaround, you can use a custom HTML template(pre-configured HMTL template file) in lieu of the RTE in Designer.
