 Symptoms Users cannot access K2 Designer website after upgrade 4.7We added AD usergroups into authentication IIS however it doesn't work anymore after upgrade 4.7We added temp All users Diagnoses In 4.6.9 group claims were added to the authentication claim in order to create authorization rules in IIS, however it caused a lot of instability and performance issues in big customer environments.We then changed the default of this functionality to be off. Resolution To re-enable this functionality, you need to edit the web.config file in the Windows STS folder (ie C:Program Files (x86)K2 blackpearlWebServicesIdentityStsWindows) and add the following setting under the appsettings node:Please make sure you do a proper clearing of the browser cache and do an IISRESET before testing  

Hi! Is there a way to show and consult the "last row" of a smartobject? We have a smartobject that has a request ID and an entity number. When a task is transfered the request ID is the same but the entity number is increased.For example, request ID: 123456789 and entity number: 1; request ID: 123456789 and entity number: 2.... The user that has the task is also stored in the smartobject. What we want to do is to consult only the last row when the form is initializing so that we can add another rule. If in the last row the user that I transfered the task is not the same that is opening the form, the form must be read-only. This is to prevent the edition of the form from persons that mustn't have access, as the task is not delegated to them. Thanks in advance.

Although I'm understanding most things about K2 that I need to understand, the whole workflow destionation rule and slot thing I just don't get. Can someone recommend how to set up the destination rule for the following scenario:  I have 50 people in a role. I want the item to have the "role" as a destination (so any of the 50 can have visibility on the item in their worklist).  The item will be a client event opening up in a smart form Any person in the role can open and examine the form and then close the form...but not end up completing the client event...(based on business rules within the LOB database, chances of two processors having the item open at the same time is minimal) Only 1 person will ultimately work/complete the item...once actioned/completed, I want it to disappear from the the worklist of anyone else in that role  In a more situational explanation, we're assigning image ID's from an imaging system to manually key into a system...we have a role of "Processor" which wi

Is there any way to combine the task edit form and the item edit form onto one form?  In my workflow, the item needs to be reviewed and corrected by someone before it can be sent to others for approval.  Rather than adding a link to the item edit form at the bottom of the task edit form, I wanted to just have the user scroll down to fix anything that needs fixing before clicking "OK" to make the workflow resume.  I'm concerned that if I just add a link to the item at the bottom of the task edit form, the user will forget that he/she needs to revisit the task form to click "OK".  This will cause an unfortunate delay in the workflow.    This is what the first portion of my workflow looks like:This is what my task edit form looks like:I added the item edit form to my task edit form by doing an export from the item form itself.  Unfortunately, any changes that are made to the data in the item form section are not saved back to the item.  Is there any way around this?  Any help is appreciat

Hello, I am new to K2 so I apologize if my question is simple. I am trying to perform a REST Call using a K2 SmartObject on a SmartForm. I have to serialize several of the form data points multiple times, and then send it to another system using a REST Call. I am able to successfully perform all these actions using the SmartObject Tester, but I am unsure how to achieve the same results using the SmartForms Actions. I mainly do not understand how to use/store the serialized data from serialization step to serialization step. Any help you can provide would be much appreciated. We are running K2 4.7. Thanks,Justin
