Hi guys, I tried to publish the workflow, while publishing I am getting error pls find below screen shot. please suggest the solution how to overcome this  Thanks,Jagadeeswar.

For a site workflow, I've learned how to build a table of queried list items for insertion into an email. However for each list item/row I want to list the person(s) Assigned To a specific list item. What I see  happening is that list query is extracting the first person only of a multi-select people/group field in each list item. When the next list item is queried, that first person is extracted and the person(s) in the previous are added to it. ?? How could this be happening?It appears that the variables I use in the Build String actions in my For Each loop are not clearing at the end of the loop, but nor is the query pulling all Assignees for each item. For example, in the first row, there should be THREE people listed in the Assigned To column. Any thoughts are much appreciated!====Subsequent additional info:I did create a history log action to see what was in the Assigned To collection variable for each iteration of the For Each action. It is retrieving all people listing in the P

We have a requirement that we need to show a flag for delegated/redirected tasks to diffrentiate them from a direct task and need to show the details of who delegated it.Is there a way in K2 API to differentiate between a direct task that K2 created for a user vs a task which was delegated/redirected by  another user. Technology stack : C# MVC 4.0, K2 Blackpearl 4.6.7 version. No sharepoint.   Thank you,Sateesh

I use constantly the List View for many things... but like to raise the bar and show some images to make things easier to navigate and work...  I wonder if there is some suggestions on how to put an Icon in a list that changes depending on the data within the List.  Perhaps if an order is on time a green button that show ontime if is delayed a red button will show delayed. Also if is in a different states of approval perhaps some icon that reflect graphic the progress of the workflow etc.... I'm thinking maybe a field within the SMO that will allocate the icon and perphaps a rule that set the icon depending on the value of another field. Just wondering if there is any suggestions regarding this idea... THX Dino.

So I have a SharePoint list with various text fields, a Nintex Form with list lookup fields (from multiple different lists on the form) who's text is connected to the text fields in the SharePoint list. For the first level of approval I need to carry the creator's choices for those drop downs to the task form of the approver so that the approver can update those if they need to.Right now, the lookup fields default to no selection and I want them to default to what the SharePoint text field has. Is this possible somehow?

 Symptoms Issue occurred where a user in a remote office would add a value to a date picker, then after saving the form and reopening it the date saved would be off by 1 day. Investigations into the database uncovered that the date saved was incorrect as well. Diagnoses Issue was discovered to be the SmartObject associated with this control. The SmartObject in question was set to Date / Time which was saving the date as off by 1 day. Resolution This issue was fixed by changing the SmartObject Date / Time property to Date. Along with this it was discovered the reference field for the calendar control was also set incorrectly, which after being changed with the Date / Time issue resolved this problem. 

 Symptoms An error occurred where users were unable to access K2 Appit for SharePoint components. The error stated that for users to be able to build K2 solutions they would need K2 Solution Designer permissions. These users previously had these rights and are a part of the correct K2 Site Collection Groups. Diagnoses This issue was discovered to be in the changing of the name of the SharePoint site collection. This caused a mismatch between K2 and SharePoint where the groups that originally created / edited solutions could no longer access them. Resolution This issue was remedied by changing the name of the site collection back to it's original configuration. To make this change do the following:1. On the site collection in question access Site Settings.2. Find Title, Description, and Logo from the available options in3. Change the site title back to the previously configured name.4. Click OK.After making these changes the site collection should again be available for use. It should b

Hi, I have three sql tables, software, employees and AccesToSoftware. I need to do a view wich allow manager to give software access to the members of his team. I've got three SMO, one for employees (ID, name), one for software (ID, name) and one composite for access (ID, ID employee, ID Software, referal profil). When the manager give access to a software he has to specify the referant profil (a user that has already access to). I want to create a checkboxlist contains all our software, and when the manager checked an item a picker appear next to the selected check box to select the referant profil. A validate button insert the information in SQL table AccessToSoftaware.I don't think it's possible but if you have any ideas it would be great. Thanks 

 Symptoms When browsing to designer I am redirected to ADFS and can successfully login. I am then redirected back to designer and I receive an error stating "WIF10201: No valid key mapping found for securityToken: 'System.IdentityModel.Tokens.X509SecurityToken' and issuer: 'http://adfs.azdps.gov/adfs/services/trust'." Diagnoses There was a realm entry for ADFS that was incorrect. Resolution We fixed the "No valid key mapping found for securityToken" by updating a value in the claims tables. The Issuer column of the Identity.ClaimIssuer table for ADFS was set to 'httpS://adfs.azdps.gov/adfs/services/trust' and clearly the error shows that the expectation is an http:// value. (No 's') Updating the entry fixed the issue.Additional issues...This error occurred when we tried to navigate to a smartform url.Server Error :Exception of type 'System.Web.HttpUnhandledException' was thrown.Argument 'userFqn' may not be null or emptyParameter name: userFqnWe reproduced this by taking the Name claim

 Symptoms Workflow instance missing Diagnoses When have an unusual problem with one of our workflow instances - it does not appear in any instances, worklists, reports or error lists in the K2 Workspace but yet it is available on the ViewFlow through a link. The peculiar thing about the process' current activity is that it is awaiting Approval by 3 users, but yet only 2 users are listed as participants. This could potentially happen think due to having removed a 3rd user from a role and now there are only 2 users available to authorise and the rule is stuck, however you cannot find the process instance in the workspace to allow you to move the activity on to the next one manually.Is there a way to orphan the process or see where it has gone to. Resolution Once a user is removed and added to the role the identity will need to be refreshed as an 8 hour default timescale for to do this. So if the process has started just after the change within the destination then K2 may have not picked

We run K2 blackpearl/smartforms 4.7 on prem.We want to begin using the K2 for SharePoint piece to inegrate with our SharePoint online environment.Is it possible to use the same SharePoint online tenant for both our DEV and PROD K2 installations?Then, when we add the app to a specific site/site collection, we would like to tell the app which K2 environment/server to use.Is this at all possible?  If so, are there any docs/walkthroughs that explain how to accomplish this? I found this article, but is seems as if it is simply for 2013 on prem.How To: Allow multiple K2 Servers to use the same SharePoint 2013 Farm https://help.k2.com/kb001632

Hi, I am currently dealing with German users. Is it possible to rename/change the *predefined* labels “Folio”, “Activity Name”, “Instruction” and “Select Action” to something which is more understandable for the German user?  

When using the K2 client API and getting a process instance by calling Connection.OpenProcessInstance(int id), i am trying to get the viewflow URL and the datafields.  Both of those properties are throwing exceptions when tryingto access them.  Other properties on the process instance all populate fine (name, folio, startdate, etc.). When I debug the code, sometimes the values populate, sometimes they do not (for the same process instance). I cannot figure out why these properties throw exceptions. Here is the code I am using: using (var connection = new Connection()){ var connectionStringBuilder = new SCConnectionStringBuilder { Authenticate = true, Integrated = false, IsPrimaryLogin = true, EncryptedPassword = false, Host = k2ConnectionInformation.ServerHostName, Port = k2ConnectionInformation.WorkflowServerPort, UserID = k2ConnectionInformation.LoginUserID, Password = k2ConnectionInformation.LoginUserPassword, Wind

 Symptoms  Workflow instances filter and sorting  Diagnoses  I am trying to use the Workflow Instances grid control and I am not able to filter the results by originator = "me". I set the Participation = "I've started" and i am still seeing other users workflow instances.Also, are there any ways to sort by workflow instance start date descending?  Resolution To configure the control to filter data based on login user, please edit Workflow Instance Grid rule and assign Current User into the Users property of the control.To sort the data on the control, please uncheck “Sort by Default” property of the control. This will allow you to manually sort the data.Please see attached FilterandSort.docx.     

 Symptoms  K2 Control Pack repair does not perform complete repair when installation account does not have access to K2 designer site though setup manager do not flag any warnings/errors.  Diagnoses  Repair of K2 Control Pack requires allowed access for K2 service account an K2 designer app pool accounts to K2 designer site when IIS authorization rules are configured for it.   This is required because controls exist on both the Designer and Runtime web applications, therefore the control pack needs to update both of those. The K2 Designer and K2 Runtime web applications could technically exist on separate servers and therefore would require a repair on both servers.   This access is required to ensure the caches and bundles get refreshed when controls are updated or new controls are registered.   Custom authorization rules configured post installation may prevent the automatic clean-up of the ControlType cache for a designer site. Most of production environments have locked down access

Greetings,On a nintex form I'm using a formula to query the user profile service for a user's work phone.Formula = userProfileLookup(UserFullName,"WorkPhone")Our phone numbers all in the international dialing format +1 or +508 etc.Viewing my profile in SharePoint our numbers show up as +11111111111 or +50811111111111 etc.Yet, my form drops the + . Is this by design? The only way I can add the + back is to add a value prefix.Thanks
