i need to set mutliple tables border on the view, how can i do that ?
 Symptoms   We have strange situation in one of our process. Sometimes in activates, which contain SmartForms Client Event we have duplicate events.   First of them is closing after about one second (without interaction of destination user), second is still active. Moreover ? although first instance of event is closed after one second, duration is the same as that one which is Active."  Diagnoses  It was determined with the help of the developers that the destination rule option - "Plan just once" causes the duplication of events in the Event Instance Report in Workspace.  Resolution    Please contact K2 Support to assist with supplying the related code fix    Â
Hello,Is it possbile to disable smartactions on specific process?
 Symptoms  A Text Box Control was changed to a Text Area Control in development and tested with no problems. When looking to deploy the package in Production, the following error was displayed: 'conflict with view' The conflict was resolved by selecting create new version.   After deploying, when opening the form, the following error is displayed: 'runtime error occurred: control could not be found'.  Diagnoses    By recreating the View with the changed Text Area and updating the Form with the new view. After that an 'IPC Failed to Start, Input string was not in a correct format' error was also experienced on a related workflow.   By comparing the Input properties on a successful workflow with a failing one, it was found that one property value was not being set when the workflow is started.   This value also gets passed to the IPC event which was the cause of the issue.  Resolution Mapped the required value to the identified Workflow Field of the ?then start the Workflow? rule. When s
There are only 5 items in the list.
 Symptoms  Adding a form to a package logs the following error: "Error","General","0","ErrorMessage","SourceCode.Runtime.Services.Forms","0 EventingMappingFactory.Generate: Unable to retrieve View Guid"  Diagnoses  The issue is coming from an Action worklist item - action that makes use of a Data Label control on the Serial number field for the action.  Resolution Use the Text property of the data label control and pass it as the Serial number instead of the actual control.    Â
 Symptoms  We are trying to move our K2 Blackpearl installation. Upon re-installation of K2 Blackpearl from the default c:/program files (x86) to d:/K2-data, the following dlls are not accessible: K2_Management PDFConverter This is causing configuration errors when installing Smartforms and unable to rectify using the broker management or the smartobject tester. Changing the dll to the correct path in the broker service throws an error: The assembly is built by a runtime newer that the currently loaded runtime and cannot be unloaded. Adding the dll to the old program files path throws an error upon refreshing the service instance: Root element is missing  Diagnoses  Components may not have been correctly uninstalled.  Resolution To rule out an issue with the installation, I think we need to run a full uninstall on your environment. The full uninstall steps are below. If a step (eg. control pack) is not applicable, please ignore it. The steps to follow are: Prior to uninstalling, please
Hello Folks! This is my first time on the forums and I appreciate your time. I have my blog set up to have 2 columns for blog posts within a category. When I go into the css file and try to add a border to div.itemcontainer, I end up with the border but instead of the two columns, they end up all in one column on the left side of the page. Does anyone have any helpful tips? I am a new user to css. website: http://animasmarketing.com/blog div.itemContainer {float:left;}  div.itemContainerLast {} /* this class is appended to the last container on each row of items (useful when you want to set 0 padding/margin to the last container) */  @media screen and ( max-width:600px ){   div.itemContainer {float:none;display:block;width:100%!important;}  }/* --- Item block for each item group --- ------------------------- The border only showed up when applied to the first div.itemContainer and did not keep the double column. Thanks!
 Symptoms Salesforce broker instance created successfullySmartobjects generated successfullyCreds cached using broker management toolingWhen executing the smartobject for any entity in the tester this works 100%.When I use that SMO to generate a view and try to run that view I get a popup asking for username, password, serverURL. When creds are entered to the popup immediately comes back with a login failed message. However the creds entered to the popup are correct and it doesn't look like it is trying to auth against salesforce. (no comms traffic) Diagnoses The error is expected since user does not have Salesforce token append to the password when Service Instance is configure using SSO Authentication mode. Resolution Updating Salesforce Service Instance to use Static Authentication allow users to be able to execute smartobject without prompting for user credentials.Â
Hi,I would like to populate a SharePoint column value into one of the Excel Cells. Is this functionality available with Nintex Workflow? I understand that this can be achieved in Microsoft Word using content controls. How can this be achieved in Excel and PowerPoint since they do not have content controls?Please advise?Thanks,
Hi,Our workflow requirements call for a need to call the Nintex workflow webservice using either "call web service" action or "web request" action. This wsdl for the web service can be accessed using: {siteURL}/_vti_bin/NintexWorkflow/Workflow.asmxI can access the WSDL using browser successfully. However, when we access this web service using one of the actions like "Call web service" or "web request" action, we get  "401 - unauthorized error" on a server farm that has Load balancer set up. However, it works fine on our Development environment where we don't have a "Load balancer".Our Farm Topology:We have a load balanced server with two web front ends and Nintex is installed on both WFE. We use NTLM authentication and not Kerberos. ULS logs:We have replicated the problem and collected ULS logs. Below is the excerpt of the Log that indicates a "double hop" issue when the request is being executed in series on the two WFE.SPSecurityContext: Could not retrieve a valid windows identity fo
 Symptoms When using the Save as PDF Control, After using a user confirmation action. IE causes the PDF to be saves greyed out. Chrome and Firefox have no issue saving the same PDF. If no user confirmation rule is used. All internet browsers work correctly. Diagnoses N/A Resolution The PDF will be grayed if the modal has not been hidden yet.IE has some issues with removing the modal which appears with the confirmation dialog as result we delayed the removal to prevent issues where the modal permanently stayed on screen.This delay is causing the modal to stay on screen while the PDF is being generated (only in IE)We would suggest using the timer control with a small time of around 40ms or more to delay the execution of the save PDF action.We have opened tfs item 694341 for further investigation on the issue.Â
 Symptoms Is it possible to add the task link into the escalations email on k2 web designer on Appit?At the inception of a task, the task assignees/participants get a dynamic link to their task in the notification email. This dynamic link is not available in the escalations features. Can we make this dynamic link to the task available in escalations?Is there a way to do this now? Diagnoses N/A Resolution Logged a Feature Request to have the task link available on escalation email and linked this ticket to TFS item #705376. You can use this TFS item number in the future should you wish to query the status of this Feature Request. The Feature Request once reviewed will be fixed in the future versions of the K2 product.Workaround: Usually there are two levels of Escalations Activity Level and Event Level. You will need to use the "Event Level" escalation to gain access to the ActInstDestID field. The serial number (SN) associated with a task item is usually built from 'ProcInstID_ActInstD
 Symptoms Deployed app after upgrade to 4.7 cannot get k2 app to work Diagnoses After upgrading to 4.7, K2 integration stopped functioning. Attempted to re-deploy app from full install download. The results said cannot query app. Attempted to reach the app catalog and it asked for credentials. None of my credentials allow me to reach the app catalog even the service account. Resolution There was a URL re-write rule that was in place to forward HTTP requests to the HTTPS binding. David disabled that rule and we were able to re-deploy the app successfully.Â
 Symptoms The K2 Mobile app no longer works for our users. When attempting to load the inbox, we get a "Sorry. Something went wrong error". By researching the K2 community, I founfd that this can be caused by running a repair on Blackpearl, but not on SmartForms or K2 for SharePoint. The suggested resolution was to run a repair on those components as well. We decided to run a repair on all three. We are still getting the error. The Android app works, but over 90% of our users are on iPhones. Any help would be appreciated. Diagnoses This was determined to be a problem with the way the K2Api site was hosted and which Application Pool was running the application. Resolution We were able to move the /K2Api application running under the Default Application Pool to the k2_net4 application pool (same application pool that the smartform designer and runtime site ran under) and perform an IIS reset, which seemed to resolve the issue.Â
 Symptoms We have an App Catalog and are trying to activate the K2 App to a Site Collection and are getting the attached error "The remote server returned an error: (404) Not Found.at SourceCode.SmartObjects.Services.SharePoint.Integration.Execution.Execute.ActivateSiteCollection(String siteURL, String siteCollURL, String authRequiredReturnUri, String k2ServerUrl, String sfRuntimeUrl, Boolean managementSmOsOnly, Boolean doSiteCollSpecificTasks)" Diagnoses N/A Resolution Configured to pipe http traffic from k2 service to fiddler tool. Found the 404 error when accessing the following url "http://sharepointsite/_api/Web/lists/getbyid('6e54bba2-da4f-4204-80e4-ec75c08f4644')/items(103)". The error message "{"error":{"code":"-2130575338, Microsoft.SharePoint.SPException","message":{"lang":"en-US","value":"There is no file with URL '_catalogs/wp/K2FormViewer.webpart' in this Web."}}}".Navigated to the sharepoint site web part gallery and found that item 103 is the K2FormViewer.webpart.

 Symptoms Encountered a problem when we try to use a regex to determine if a decimal is non-negative.We have used the regex ^[0-9]+.[0-9]+$ against a value 8.00 and it fails at first. When we select the field again and put in the same value, it passes. Diagnoses N/A Resolution Smartforms appears to use .NET regular expressions (regex provided) instead of JavaScript (mentioned on the ticket), so regular expressions tested with a JavaScript tester will evaluate differently than those tested with a .NET tester.Customer use the following Regex to fix the issue:^d+(.d+){0,1}$Â
Hi,Here is my scenario. 1) User updates an office document (most likely word /powerpoint/excel) to a SharePoint Document library. A new version is created every time an update is made to the document. 2) The requirement is to update the word document with entries of version history and associated version comments if any.3) Essentially, I would like to update the word document with a table of entries where each row will have a version #, Check in comments. Is it possible using content controls for word documents? how do we handle this situation for Excel documents where there is no concept of content controls.Please advise...this is a nice feature that Nintex can help us.
Got this error while editing workflow on K2 Appit enabled sharepoint list. Never seen this before. Upon further investigation, it seems like database related issue. Though, I am not certain since all the solution posted thus far related to this error are on Blackpearl.  Server ErrorException of type 'SourceCode.SmartObjects.Client.SmartObjectException' was thrown. Anyone here encountered this? If any workaround please pass it alongÂ
 Symptoms  When attempting to start the K2 Server in console mode, the following error was logged: Error 8103 Failed to start socket service: An attempt was made to access a socket in a way forbidden by its access permission Error Invoking 'StartHostServer' : SourceCode.HostServerLib : An attempt was made to access a socket in a way forbidden by its access permission  Diagnoses  Using netstat and tasklist: netstat -abo | find "5555" netstat -abo | find "5252" Output will give you PID of the process which is using this port in the last column which you may use in the following command to obtain process name (substitute 1234 with PID obtain executing previous command): tasklist /fi "pid eq 1234" We found another program "X" that was already bound to port 5555 and 5252. In a previous troubleshooting attempt, these ports were added as IIS bindings.  Resolution Removing port 5555 and 5252 in IIS binding resolved the issue and allowed for the starting up of the K2 Server in console mode.  Â
hi all, i have a task form that I need to redirect based on one choice outcome. If if a user chooses yes, I want the task form to take the user to the original item in edit mode on submission (I've got that part).the problem comes if the user chooses no. If the choice is no, I want the user to be taken to the task list. Is is it possible to have the submit button redirect based on the condition of a choice?Â
Hi everyone. I'm new to K2 but am having a BLAST building stuff. This is awesome! I think this is a pretty easy answer, but I spent a couple hours on it yesterday and didn't figure it out. If it's already been asked and answered, please feel free to direct me to the thread, as that will help me figure out how to best sift through the tons of information on the Community board. I have a form with two views...one a list view and the other a item view that basically just holds a drop down and a button. I'm trying to set up a rule so that when the user selects a record in the item view and clicks the button, the value of a specific column in the selected item view gets passed to a smart object or parameter.  I can't seem to figure out: #1 - What rule(s) to use#2 - What specific item in the context browser would represent the value of the certain field of the selected record.  Any advice is appreciated. Best, Rob NicholasÂ
I'm trying to do some runtime calculations and lookups which is causing me some problems on mobile form.I have a form which displays employee name (read only) upon item creation. The form needs to automatically lookup the name from another list to get kilometers travelled in the current year. so the lookup needs to be based on 2 conditions where the Employee Name = formEmployeeName and the Year = current year. Then I have 2 needs for the returned Kilometers value.1. the KM needs to be displayed on desktop and mobile (which I'm finding that lookups are not supported for Mobile), so I can get away with not displaying it on mobile, but if there is a way. That would be great.2ndly which I cannot skip is I need the value to be able to pass it to a form variable in runtime. So based on the range of the kilometers, I need to pass a certain mileage factor and do runtime calculations.I first tried to use a lookup, where the user have to select their Employee ID from a list and then display the
Hi,We have a SharePoint 2010 site with Nintex workflow 2010.I have a list that I am trying to make a small workflow that will trigger when the status of an item has been changed.

I am a newbie to Nintex Workflow. I am trying to build a helpdesk workflow. When I opened the Workflow Designer I saw a Helpdesk template which I would like to use. When I create the workflow using Helpdesk template, it does not give any information in terms of how many lists need to be created, details on columns and their association. Is there a documentation/video that will guide me through the templates that are available and how to use them.
