Is it possible to have one task form that can refer to several items (IDs)?I have a list that needs to send a daily request for review for several items. Currently the user has to click each task form and select Yes or No if a date has been rescheduled. If it has a new date needs to be entered. Now the user gets one summary e-mail which is great but still has to click up to 15 links. Is there a way to have all the Yes or No and possible date fields in ONE task form?

 Symptoms  The client wants to know if a TestUser would need DB owner-rights in order register a service instance and have full properties as the DB owner. For example At this point when registering the SQL service in instance as a testUser the property that is an Autoguid is showing as a normal guid that needs a user to input the guid themselves, its not auto-generated.

Hi All, I am going to implement multilingual application using K2 Smartform 4.7. I found K2 Smartforms multilingual solution here http://community.k2.com/t5/K2-blackpearl/Multilingual/ba-p/1049. It looks great. However under 4.7 release note, https://help.k2.com/kb001745. it suggested to create multiple forms for different languages. I believe this approach will be very painful if some functions is required to be updated that will require to update in all forms.  Anyone has experience with Multilingual control whether it is working well in 4.7 and is there any performance effect?  Appreciate your advise.   

Hi I've got a workflow that has a couple of sub-workflow steps. Obviously when the sub-workflows are running the main workflow pauses until they complete and pass control back to the main workflow.One of the sub workflows failed. I've sorted out the issue but if I restart the sub-workflow will the main workflow "un-pause" and continue when this finishes, or do I need to cancel everything and restart the main workflow?ThanksSamo

 Symptoms  So I have a process that takes an input of a People Picker from SharePoint, copies that to a Process Data field and then assigns that Process Data field doing a Split function on it by the delimiter of a pipe to assign to the Plan Just Once slot of a Task. However, the problem is that if there is more than one person in the field, only the first person ever gets assigned. If there are 2 or 50 people, those other people don't ever get assigned the task and don't get the notification.  Diagnoses  When using the Plan per slot (no destinations) planning option, make sure to add a Succeeding Rule stating [ActivityDestinationInstance_Status] All = "Completed"  Resolution Adding Succeeding Rule stating [ActivityDestinationInstance_Status] All = "Completed" to "Set Reviewers" activity   Per this KB, http://help.k2.com/kb000685, and redeploy your process resolved the issue.

Hi there.  I am pretty new to K2, but am learning a lot as I go.  The K2 "family" has been outstanding. That said, I have a question...this isn't my first Forum question, but the other one I managed to figure out, so I deleted it before anyone answered.  I have a rule something like this:  My question is that I'd ultimately like to have a message box come back to the user saying, "XX Files Assigned" (with the XX representing the # of rows that were selected).  In addition, I'd love to have a data field that would update with the # of rows selected right on the form when the user selects multiple rows.  Bascially looking for some kind of return value that represents the # of items selected on a multiple select list view. I can't seem to find the ability to do this.  Any thoughts?  I pretty much am limited to SmartForms out of the box technology.  I'm not techy enough to write custom code or even stored procedures. Thanks, Rob 

Has anyone else had the experience where you are working on your forms in the sharepoint for blackpearl designer and suddenly you can't click to configure actions? You have a "then show a message to the user (configure)"You can't  click configure Or you have a confirmation message like "are you sure you woul like to cancel the wizard and losa any unasved information? "and only the No is clickable. This is so frustrating because I have to close the browser and come all the way back in.   Any ideas?    

 Symptoms  Last week I was able to view the workflow process of an item from SharePoint. When I tried today with a few different users, none of us were able to see the Workflow Process from the K2 Workflows screen from within SharePoint. There is a box that says "View Flow" but there is nothing underneath it. There used to be an image that you could select to then view a graphical representation of the workflow and where the process was or where errors occurred. I have attached an image of the screen I now see. I was able to view the process by extracting the URL from the source code of the page and going that way, however, that is just a temporary solution. Ideally i would like the image to show up again or to know why it has disappeared.  Diagnoses  Somehow the image file for that View Flow icon was removed from the WebResources/CSS Bundle.  Resolution Clearing the control cache seemed to resolve the issue. Clear the control cache by using the K2 Designer URL and place this on the en

I've created a task.  I want to have  Approve, Reject, Redirect, Delegate as my actions.I see how to put them as choices, however, I want to use the OOB Redirect and Delegate. The email that is generated has this line:You may also do one of the standard actions:RedirectDelegateSleepSo, how do I access those "standard actions" from within the form that I"m using for the task.    

We have a SharePoint 2013 / Nintex Workflow 2013 workflow that we have been using for over a year.  There are several steps where we send notifications to a Group email address, with "Send individually addressed notifications" checked.Over the past few days we have been receiving workflow error messages on a particular step that does this.  It is actually the second send notification to the same group.  The first notification does not give an error.  When I look at the detail, I see this message:  Failed to send notification. Cannot get the full name or e-mail address of user "c:0+.w|s-1-5-21-2107199734-1188698053-504519907-87171".I don't know why the Send Notification step is putting that odd email address into the To and From, when for the other send notification steps, it shows the expected group name.  I tried to create a new Send Notification, selecting the group from the Select People and Groups - Webpage Dialog, and while it appears to be correct when I save the action, if I cli

 Symptoms I created a "List" SmartObject based on a SQL stored proc. When i test the smartobject on the K2 server using the SmartObject Service Tester the values returned are correct.I think created a list item view in SmartForms to display the values and they are all multiplied by 1000000000. Bizarre.The language settings of the server appear to match those of my local machine, EN-US. Diagnoses This type of issue could appears if the K2 Service account have a regional setting setup with comma instead of . for the decimal separator or if the web.config have the parameter ExecutionCulture set to EN-GB. Resolution Verify that the Service K2 account has for regional setting parameter (in "Change date, time and number format", click on "Additionl settings ...").

More generally that it is in a US format.In order to do this check, you must log on to the K2 server with the Service K2 account.And check the value of the "SmartObject.ExecutionCulture" key in the f

I have a task list where multiple tasks are grouped by project Id and assigned to a user. When I reassign the tasks I have a workflow that sends out an email. The issue is I will update assignment on all tasks for a project and then multiple emails go out as workflow is triggered based on when assignment is changed. Any ideas how 10-20 tasks being reassigned from user a to user b can send out only one email to user b?

 Symptoms Using K2 connect for SAP 4.6.11 it was found that when assigning the property to an XML field, you are requested to specify the part of the XML document you want to return. When selecting "connect", which is the top level node listed, the values returned do not contain the andltconnectandgt and andlt/connectandgt tags. If it is then attempted to deserialise the XML (using another SmartObject method built in Visual Studio) we get "Object reference not set to an instance of an object" Diagnoses Reviewing the K2 Connect SmartObjects it was found that the issue is related to the Method type used when setting up the SmartObject Method. Resolution If the SmartObject Method is configured with a Type ?
