 Symptoms Search has a threshold of 2000 on a share point list Diagnoses Using the Get List items method for a List View only works if the searched for item is within the first 2000 items of the list.This only happens when you are using filters to search for the item. It works fine if you use the input fields for the search but it only allows for a full search on the column. Resolution The issue was resolved by changing the value of "Row Limit" input property on the Get List Items input properties. 

 Symptoms Filtering a list during runtime does not return any value. Diagnoses 1) We have the same list and view with lookup to another list by ID2) By using get list items and input mappings:a view working with name to lookupb view not working with the name for lookup Resolution The view was broken somehow, we were able to fix it by adding new column to the list view.

I want to send an email with attachments from an unrelated library. I know I can attach via URL to that particular file. But what if the files to be attached are based on query conditions, so now each emails will have different files and different number of files to attach. I have the query part done, and it's building a collection variable "col_collected_urls" with the URL's of all the files that should be attached. Is there any tricks with the syntax for the variable I assign to the Email Attachments so that it can be loaded with multiple URLs.   I tried a few guesses with HTML or multi-line text but didn't get anywhere. I'd rather not create X number or empty variable and fill them because I don't know how many will it max out at.

With Nintex Customers using Nintex On-Prem and in O365 and now potentially NWC. How can we aggregate all their tasks into one place?I've noticed that you could use the Nintex Mobile App to connect to each of these account types, but I was wondering if there will be another location that is web based that we could use to aggregate all the end users workflow related tasks?

I'm interested to know what external user accounts will be able to participate in a NWC Workflow?   Can we have AAD or Live accounts logging in to participate in a workflow?I'd also like to be able to have a NWC Workflow provision these accounts..

 Symptoms We have an issue with list view filters and the picker control not rendering correctly. The client is also not running an custom code on the views Diagnoses After doing an IIS reset the issue is temporarily fixed and the issue re-occurs after sometimeHave you used cache refresh command? If so please refrain from use of this command wherever you are able to do normal application pool recycle or iisreset operation. As it was well spotted by us on a previous ticket with a similar issue, that this is not a documented command and we now confirmed that it is not supported and not recommended one (apart from testing/debugging scenarios where you cannot do iisreset).On a different ticket with a similar issue, they were using the old Platinum theme or a variation thereof (probably the SharePoint 2010 theme) and the solution was to switch to the Lithium theme. However when switching back to Platinum, the issue disappeared. Resolution Refreshing the K2 Smartforms app pool daily seems to

 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.
