 Symptoms  We have form with 4 tabs. On a small screen (especially on mobile device and in portrait mode), the third and fourth tab disappear. There is no scrollbar as well so we are unable to locate those missing tabs.  Diagnoses  Form is not using Lithium theme, and only the Lithium theme is designed for mobile use.  Resolution There are two workarounds: 1. Change form theme to Lithium or 2. Set the Min Form Width property.   The Min Form Width value must at least be the sum of width of all the tabs. This way when the browser window is below the Min Form Width value, the form will stop shrinking, and the browser will introduce a scrollbar for users.  Â

 Symptoms  I created a regular custom list in SP 2013. Then, when I attempt to create a K2 app for it using SmartObjects + Forms, the following error is displayed: "Thread 1: Field or property "MobileDisplayFormURL" does not exist." After clicking "Ok", it returns to the K2 Create application screen (the app is not created).  Diagnoses  The issue is related to the CU and Update that the SharePoint 2013 server is currently on.  Resolution Upgrading to the latest SharePoint 2013 CU resolves the issue: CU = KB3127933    Â
 Symptoms  Is it possible to report on changes between process versions? For auditing purposes, we need to show what changed between several K2 process versions over time. Is there a way to analyze several process versions and report on the items that changed between the versions?  Diagnoses  This can be done in a round about way. It is not available out of the box.  Resolution If you are just trying to check prior versions for a specific change. 1 You can download all the old versions from K2 Workspace of the workflow, 2. Rename them from .kprx to .xml and run them through a comparison tool.    Â
This is a simple regular expression so as to get List URL of the current itemI used:Â Â Â Â A variable named myStringListURLThe action named "Regular Expression"The magic is on the pattern of the regular expression that deletes all characters after "/DispForm.aspx"The {Common:ItemUrl} , used on the Input text parameter, gets a string like the following:Â Â Â Â http://server/Site/Lists/yourList/DispForm.aspx?ID=xxx So with the pattern "/DispForm.aspx.*$" and the Operation "Replace text" in blank, we will get the result "http://server/Site/Lists/yourList stored on the variable "myStringURL".This document was generated from the following discussion: Get List Url of current list/library
 Symptoms  Seeing an issue whereby data is not loading on Forms on their K2 mobile app. This is happening with Forms, both TASK and Application Forms, tied to SharePoint LOB.   The issue is affecting about 300 of their user base all running on IOS devices. Users using the Android or Windows Phone version of the K2 Mobile app do not see the issue.   As I understand this started sometime second week of September after users updated the K2 Mobile App -- from what I can tell it looks like an updated version of the iOS app was made available for download in the Apple Appstore on September 9th.   Users seeing the issue are on versions of iOS devices ranging from 10.0.1 to the latest 10.1(14B72).  Diagnoses  Issue is due to the version of K2 Mobile App having problems refreshing users OAuth tokens once they've expired.   This issue itself is isolated to the iOS version of the K2 Mobile app and caused data not to be rendered when accessing SmartForms via the iOS mobile app.  Resolution A newer
 Symptoms  We are seeing an issue where we are getting long running script error when we are loading the data for the rich text box. Looks like the issue is happening when the user inputs data in the rich text box by copying a text from the word with formatting like numbering, bullets, etc., When the data is persisted into DB, it is having a lot of tags for new line(andltbrandgtandlt/brandgt). The new line is getting added because of formatting. when this data is loaded, we are getting long running script and the form freezes.  Diagnoses  The issue is not so much with the copying and pasting but rather due to the fact that any input in the control that contains the line break tag andltbrandgt, when saved to the database, the value, when returned suddenly has a closing andlt/brandgt tag. If you were to add another andltbrandgt tag in between the current tags, it would do the same.   This issue only occurs in blackpearl 4.6.10. It's doesn't occur in the blackpearl 4.6.11 and up that uses

The code could be downloaded on this page:http://community.k2.com/t5/K2-blackpearl/Multilingual/ba-p/1049But unfortunately, and I do not know why, when I try to download it shows me a message indicating that it is no longer available.Anyone know how show our K2 blackpearl application in multilanguage?Thank you in advance
 Symptoms  Right click in K2 for Visual Studio 2010 doesn't work.   Workaround which normally helps to resolve this: Run as Administrator "Visual Studio Command Prompt (2010)" NOTE: You have to right click on "Visual Studio Command Prompt (2010)" and select Run as administrator so that it runs in elevated mode   - Run "devenv.exe /resetuserdata" from command prompt. - Run "devenv.exe /setup" from command prompt.   Does not work in this case.  Diagnoses  Issue can be caused by the following two things:   1) Incorrect version of SourceCode.VisualStudio.pkgdef file in "C:Program Files (x86)Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0Common7IDEExtensionsK2"   In certain scenarios you may wrong version of this file installed (intended for Visual Studio 2012). To check this, open the file properties and check the value of PID. It should be "PID"="4.0.4.0".   If this is not the case then it is the wrong file for Visual Studio 2010. This file has to be replaced by another one from working system/installation
Hi, I'm having a problem around understanding the required permissions to assign a task to a person in a scenario where the person does not require access to the parent site where the library ask residesScenario:Site: https://sharepoint.com/sites/team      - Permissions for UserA = NONE (the user does not need to access the site in general)Library: https://sharepoint.com/sites/team/DocLib    - Permissions for UserA = NONE (the user does not need access to the source document, from which the workflow runs)However, a workflow within the Document Library above could trigger a task for "UserA",  who would then need to complete their task (the task would be https://sharepoint.com/sites/team/WorkflowTasks)Due to the requirement that non-site members may require access to their task, I have tried to give "DomainEveryone" = Contribute permission to the https://sharepoint.com/sites/team/WorkflowTasks list.However, I still get this issue.(in the above scenario, UserA still has no site access, bu
Hi Expert, I had try to develop a simple process where First Approval reject the form back to Originator for rework. Whenever originator click on submit button, the form will be route to First Approval for approve or reject. But it still show in the worklist under the state rework. And another form with First approval state will show in worklist. If First Approval reject the form one more time for rework and originator re-submit again, it will create another document under the rework state. If continue to reject for rework and re-submit, it will create more and more form under the rework state and display in the worklist. Is there anything that i had missed out? I suspect when the user click on the submit toolbar button, it did not execute the "Submit" line as in the workflow. Check in database, there is only one record. Kindly please help.

I was wondering if it is possible to default the current user in a People and Group field, and the days date in a date field, ONLY when a certain choice is selected. For Example:When the "Buyer Status" is set to "Completed", I would like "Buyer Completed By" and "Buyer Completed Date" to auto-populate with the current users name and the days date automatically. I know it would be possible to do within the workflow, but I'm interested in doing it at the moment it is done. Thanks in advance.Â
 Symptoms Few users reports an 'Unauthorised process access.' error when trying to submit the request.There are other times when the same users can access the form and submit the form without any issue. A side note, the K2 environment consists of 2 K2 servers in a load balancer. Diagnoses The issue is reproducible in below scenario.-Generate a new IIS machine key for the K2 Smartforms Runtime site (IIS andgt K2_site andgt Runtime andgt Machine Key).-Restart K2 Blackpearl server service, IISRESET, and clear current user's IE cache.-Navigate to a form and you will get prompted with the error message.When this occurs, the current session state is no longer valid and the request for a new key has sent to the second server, so essentially the user is jumping from server to server, depending how the load balancer sees fit.According to Installation and Configuration Guideline, the machine key must be the same in all nodes in K2 farm (K2 virtue directory sub sites ?

 Symptoms  On the workflow activity has been specified? condition, when trying to configure it, the error: There are no items to display. Either the activity has been removed, or is available on a non-default version of the process, or you do not have the required process rights to view it. As a result, this condition or action cannot be configured.? is displayed.  Diagnoses  When a workflow is created using K2 Studio and placed within a folder in the project and deployed, there is a rule created as part of the SmartForms Integration with "a workflow activity has been specified" condition. In 4.7 it is now possible to configure this Condition. The (configure) screen displays an error and cannot be configured if the Workflow is in a sub-folder in a project.  Resolution The issue has been logged as a new bug for the developers to investigate.   It would appear that if a workflow is placed within a sub-folder in a project, the issue with the "a workflow activity has been specified? condit

Hello, I am building a form within my workflow and using radio buttons in the outcome field of the flexi-task. The question I have is when a particular option is selected in the outcome field (radio buttons), how do I make the people field within the form required in order to save it?Essentially what I am doing is this, when the workflow gets to a certain point, the assignee has the option to send the form to another department for a bid/estimate. The action is in the flexitask but if they choose the option to do so, I want to make the people field required so the user can fill out the name of the person it is supposed to go to before they are allowed to save it.Would this be some sort of validation rule? Thank you,Cody AllisonÂ
 Symptoms Customer is receiving an issue where the URM service Group method FindUserGroups is retrieving the Group-description name and not the Group-Name. Diagnoses Its important to remember that the UMUser / UMGroup / UMLabel and UMRole was designed to be generic across all the different security providers (AD, AAD, SP, Salesforce, ADFS, SQLUM and any custom security providers), we thus return the only values that should stay static across all of these security providers, namely Name and Description, any other custom fields will not be recognized and will be ignored.I have discussed this with our development team and development manager and its important to remember that all Security Providers will be affected with this change and will require analysis from Product Management to determine how to design and implement this change, and a thorough testing cycle will be required to make sure that no other Security Providers are affected.Even then, existing solutions of other customer is a
