Hi, Recently installed K2 Designer, but when we created a Table and then try to get a view, there is no VIEW icons within k2 Deisgner, can anyone help? All i see is the Edit, Delete and Save As icons when a Table is selected. There is no "Design a new View" or "Generate a View" icons options  

I have a document library that has a field called Manager.  There are over 30 managers.  I want to send 30 emails to each of the 30 managers along with all there associated rows.  I set up a WF that uses a Run Query first that retrieves the entire library for today's work.Within the Query I have a Managers Collection,Log Description Collection and a Call Center Collection.I then do a For Each on the Managers Collection.I have a Get Collection Operation for Manager, Log Description Collection and Call Center CollectionOutside of the For Each I have a Send Notification.Instead of getting 30 emails I get 1 email that displays all the log calls for all 30 managers.I know I can set-up 30 Workflows and query for each manager, but there has to be a more efficient route.  Essentially I want to retrieve all data found for Manager 1 and send email, the next iteration would look for all data associated with Manager 2 and send email, etc...Perhaps I need to use a Loop in combination with a For Eac

Hey there,I am attempting to use a regular expression to remove a right single quotation mark ( ’ ) from a text string but im not having any luck so far.This is part of a workflow that is processing data from within a csv file into a list, when the list is populated with the data the unicode symbol is changed to a ? (a white question mark within a black diamond) there are numerous different sybmbols within the data so its not as simple as just replacing the ? with a 'I have tried using the following as the pattern but none are doing the job[’]’[u2019]u2019any ideas?

How can I assign a task to the manager of the person listed in the "person or group" field type. 

 Symptoms ID column in K2 generated form changed from Auto Number to Number after regenerating the SmartObject. Diagnoses OOTB the generated SmartObjects will use Number as the type, we do allow you to make changes to this, in this case change to AutoNumber. When regenerating the Smartobjects K2 this will be reset to Number as this is what SharePoint provides K2 as the type for the ID column.Changes are supported but k2 will not preserve it when regeneration is done of the SmartObject and this is by Design.The same will apply for other customization on the OOTB generated SmartObjects Resolution After regenerating the SmartObject all customization will be reset and they will have to be added back manually. 

I created a scheduled site workflow for a list. That will send a notification in 90 days from the effective date.Action setCalculated date (90 days ago)Query listFiltered by effective date which equals my variableType of action "new"Status "EmployeeFor eachEmail notificationSo the workflow looks at the effective date, status and type of actionI need to also add logic that says if the employee has been type of action "Termed"  within the 90 days then do not send the notificationHelp? Do i add another query list within the for each?

Hi I've noticed when I create a SharePoint list item (either by SmartForms or by SMOT or by Workflow) it takes about 0.1 seconds to execute when the list item "doesn't" contain a People Picker/Person assigned field.  The minute I add a name to the Picker column it adds 5 seconds to the request. If I have 2 names, that takes 10 seconds and so on! The Smart Object being used is the one K2 automatically creates for me from my SharePoint list. The fields are all primitive and no custom code solution is in place, it's all out of the box SharePoint and K2 blackpearl 4.7. I've tried this now with multiple lists and SmartObjects and still the same behaviour. Could this be an OAauth issue or something related to resolving the users maybe at AD level or should it really increase the time it takes to create a list itemby 50 times when adding a person to it?? Thanks,Nick

Hello all,I am working with Nintex 2013. I have a 'Request Review' action in my workflow and I tried to edit the field 'Task description'. I typed in a few lines of text and marked the heading thick and everything red. When I try the workflow and click on the 'click here' Link in the email the text does not look like expected. The heading is thick and red but the rest of the text is not red (it is black). This happens all the time, some of the changes in the format do not adopt. (Like the thickness works, but the font size doesn't etc.)Anyone with the same problem? Ideas how to solve this problem?

Hi, In my scenario we can have more than two outcomes in flexi task. Is it possible to set lazy approval for more than two outcomes.        in-case it's possible please suggest on theseIn lazy approval is this Possible to capture the comments while rejection. If it’s possible please guide me how to capture the comments while lazy approval rejection. Thanks,Jagadeeswar Reddy.

Good morning All! Thanks in advance to all who might have a response for me.  Here's the scenario:We have a flexi-task going out to two approvers.  There are three possible outcomes--Approve, Reject, and Approve with Exceptions.  Various actions need to complete after each outcome, but that's easy enough.  The trouble comes when trying to utilize the 3rd branch "Approve with Exceptions."Here are the task specifics:Both approvers must agree on Approve.A single rejection will "kill" the other task.If any one approver selects Approve with Exceptions then the item is approved (comments are logged with the exceptions).Here is the issue:With two outcomes the resolution is easy enough.  We have the outcome and outcome achieved in two separate variables, which we evaluate later to perform some post-approval actions.  With the third branch, as we know, the task outcome becomes null and unable to be evaluated.  I tried setting this variable to the desired value AFTER the flexitask, but it seems

 Symptoms   "Smartaction" does not work  Diagnoses  When you are sending an email using the smart actions feature but you don't receive any reply emails back. What could be the problem here as their are no errors presented?  Resolution  Verify that the K2 service account has full permissions to the MSMQ controller which can be accessed via   - Running compmgmt.msc, - Navigate to 'Computer Management (Local) > Services and Applications > Message Queueing.   After this do restart of the K2 service and all should be resolved.     

Hi, We;re having an issue trying to configure the smart forms. We have a clean install for K2, and we're getting this same issue on two servers. The configuration gets stuck on step two while trying to start the host service. The following 3 errors appear in the event logs. 8060 ProcessPacket Error, Member 'ItemId' was not found.2025 Error Marshalling SourceCode.Deployment.Runtime.DeploymentServer.Send, Member 'ItemId' was not found.2025 Error Marshalling SourceCode.Deployment.Runtime.DeploymentServer.Send, Member 'ItemId' was not found. I have checked the MS Security Update, KB3083185, and it's not installed (http://community.k2.com/t5/K2-blackpearl/Problem-re-installing-K2-Smartforms/td-p/85769). We are running Windows Server 2012, and K2 smartforms 4.6.9 (4.12165.1650.1).

 Symptoms  The "K2 Workspace App" from the "Windows App Store" runs just fine on Windows 8.1, but it crashes when using the app on Windows 10.  Diagnoses  After some investigations, we found that one of the assemblies was a little dated. After updating the assembly with a more recent version, we re-compiled the app, and requested that the app get updated in the app store.  Resolution After the app was updated in the app store (New version number: 1.2.6), we tested it on a Windows 10 laptop, and it was working as expected.   

Hi fellow Nintex Admins,i have a collection with users / groups in a workflow and want to save the collection in a document library column, to work with that information in another workflow, but i only get one entry out of it. The for/each loop on the other hand iterates trough all entries.I tried it with set field value and update field value and i tried to save outside and inside the loop. A mulitline field or a Person/Group field makes also no different.  Any ideas? i save the collection in a single text line variable:4 values in the WF History:1 in the column:Cheers from GermanyDaniel

HiWe are new to Nintex and plan to subscribe to tier 2 licensing. Our business has 80 site collections (1 for each site office). Each site office has a sales team and a construction team.The project we are about to begin is to refine 30 paper forms for the construction teams into SharePointNintex forms. Due to the volume of site collections I cannot place these forms at each site office level as that would take the form license count to 80 x 30!My plan is to centralise the forms onto one site collection so we keep the form count beneath 100. What I would envisage as the optimum solution would be if I can find a way of moving the submitted forms to the relevant site office site collections. I intend to use a managed metadata field named 'Site' to help me with this but I could do with a bit of guidanceadvice on how someone with years of Nintex experience would go about this objective?RegardsNick

I have integrated the claim based authentication to the k2smartforms , and it is working fine, what I would like to cutomize now is the error message when a user has not the right to access the page somethig like "You are not Authorized to access" instead to get the generic error of the claim mapping from k2 like this:  Any idea?  

That would be very useful for store since I’ve gotten a few complaints about emails never being sent.

Hi Guys, I have been struggling with something here which I am hoping some of you have had to deal with before. I have a Wiki Library and Wiki Categories field linked to Managed Metadata for all the pages in the library. I want to create a page that will have tag cloud web part so that I can display all the wiki categories that are assigned to all pages. The only approach that seems possible for me is using a workflow to update the document tag when a user update or create the document. Update the tag with whatever the user has entered in the wiki categories field.The problem is I can't seem to find a way to do this in Nintex workflow I can't find an action that I can use to do it. Has anyone tried to update document tags via workflow? When I searched on the net there are lot of other solutions that will do auto tagging for you but not exactly what I want and I believe Nintex might just be capable of doing I just haven't found. Thank you Regards Bhuti

I need to be able to compare a SharePoint list with users to an AD security group. Based on the comparison, I need to add new users since the last comparison but not over write the existing members. Does anyone know how I would accomplish this with a Nintex workflow? Thanks

 Symptoms  We have three controls connected to SQL SmartObjects wired to SharePoint List Columns. Have 8 plus additional columns wired to SharePoint list columns. When trying to save the list data, the browser reports the 'spinning' green circle and doesn't save the data to the list.  Diagnoses  It was determined SmartForms was sending the broker package request along with associations (which in this case is pointless). The associations will join the tables coming back from SQL and filter out results. In this particular scenario this returns 0 results, and it takes a lot of time to do the joins causing the performance lag and the long spinner.  Resolution We identified a bug with the SmartForm runtime that was causing a bottleneck when sending the Form data back to the K2 server for processing. This has been addressed in Appit 1.5 Update 1.
