Can K2 Five send email through AD group's email?

I have an AD group that has an email associated with it.When I assign the AD group to task recipient (do not resolve to individual user), I was expecting K2 to send the email assigned to the AD group, but it didn’t. Does anyone have gotten K2 Five (5.6+) sending task email to AD group’s email address?

Workflow recipients values null with fixpack 13

Hi,I am using K25.7, I recently encountered an issue with email events containing attachments in our workflow.The support team initially recommended applying Fix Pack 13, which resolved the attachment issue.However, we are now facing workflow failures where the activity recipients are null, specifically for reference items within a loop. This started after updating the SmartObject method, and although the data exists in the database, it is not being picked up.I am here attaching screen shot for your understanding.In Test1 Email, emails were received with correct values. In Update Status, updating only status field. in TestPostUpdate email , FQN is getting blank values but there are values in database table.If anyone has encountered a similar issue or has a recommended solution, please advise. Best Regards,Thriveni

Copy/Move Style Profile

Is it possible to Copy or Move a Style Profile in the K2 Designer? I’m not seeing a “Save As” option in the designer like we see with other components, and drag & drop does not seem to have an effect on Style Profiles.

PDF Download Problem

Hellowe have observed very strange behavior with some users. When downloading a PDF document, the downloaded file is not shown in the downloads folder.Only PDFs aren't being downloaded; other file types work fine. The server response has status 200; I see the request in Chrome Developer Tools, which confirms that the server successfully responds to the request. However, the PDF file still doesn't appear in the downloads folder. Other file types, like Word documents, for example, work fine in Chrome. Downloads work for all file types in Edge. For some users, it is a temporary problem and resolves itself after some time, but may appear again, it comes and goes. Problem appears only on K2 Sites.We weren't able to find out what is causing this behavior we fix it by renaming the user profile, Backup Bookmarks (take note of plugins) Close Chrome Rename C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data to C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data - BackUp Restart Chrom

K2 for Visual Studio 2019 extension

​@EttienneS Hi, your name came up n K2 for VS 2015 package.  😁If VS 2019 can load the K2 designer extension, the deployment functionality could work?VS 2015 / 2017 / 2019 are highly compatible for extensions. Seems it just needs to change a few references to point to VS 2019 path/registry.https://devblogs.microsoft.com/visualstudio/how-to-upgrade-extensions-to-support-visual-studio-2019/change K2 for Visual Studio 2015.xml:Reference 2019 name <AllowedDependency Type="Application" Name="Microsoft Visual Studio Professional 2019" MatchType="EqualTo" /> Path set to Microsoft Visual Studio 16.0SourceCode.VisualStudio(2015).reg:Reference 16.0 registry.SourceCode.Workflow.VisualStudio (2015).reg:Reference 16.0 registry.If anyone tried this and didn’t work, chime in.   Thanks.

How to receive and send CSRF-Token to POST-API without custom code

I’m trying to call the POST method of a REST-API in our SAP system, however I can’t figure out a way to receive and send a CSRF-Token as is required using only a SmartObject. My goal is to confine the entire procedure to just a SmartObject without writing custom code that potentially needs to be maintained.So far the biggest issue is not being able to filter through the header of the response I get when I send a GET request with x-csrf-token = fetch. As I also need to get a cookie for my post request, I can’t just grab the first line of the header (which is actually the csrf-token) and send it. I also can’t just copy the entire response header and send it, as the “cookie” variable in the response is actually called “set-cookie”. I’ve tried disabling CSRF-validation in the backend and it does work. However I merely tried it for testing purposes and since it’s not recommended by SAP that’s not an option for me.I thought maybe with an OData service instance it could work since it gives yo

K2 Installer and SQL Collation

I have a SQL instance with the collation Latin1_General_CI_AS_KS_WS for SharePoint Server SE. Is it possible to install K2 on the same instance by manually creating the K2 databases with the required collation (Latin1_General_CI_AS)? When I try this, I get the following warning message .And when I click 'Continue', I get another message: 'K2 is the wrong type of database'."

How to display grouped counts in K2 Dynamic Chart without DB changes?

Hi Community,I am using K2 Dynamic Chart control and want to display the count of requests by status (e.g., Draft = 2, Submit = 1).Currently, my SmartObject  returns individual request rows with fields like RequestId and StatusText. Since the chart sums the RequestId, it shows incorrect values (e.g., Draft = 2, Submit = 3) instead of row counts.Challenge: I cannot modify the database (no SQL view or SP changes allowed). The SmartBox SmartObject does not support advanced grouping What I want:To show accurate grouped counts in my Dynamic Chart without modifying the database directly. in chart control there is any feature related to it.

Overview / statistics from K2 Applications

We've developed a wide variety of K2 applications over the past few years.Now we're asking ourselves: Are these applications actually being used? How often are they accessed, and when were they last accessed? Can they possibly be deactivated or deleted?I'm currently looking for a way to perform this analysis?My question to you:Is there a standard way? An overview/statistics, perhaps, in K2 Management?OrIs there an SMO I can use for this? Then I would write my own K2 application that displays this information in a list.What do you think? Can you help us?

Query User Profile on K2 Five

Hi All,Currently, I am working on a project to migrate Nintex Workflow 2016 on SharePoint 2016 to K2 Five. Some existing workflows use the “Query User Profile” action to retrieve user information from the SharePoint User Profile.Is there a feature in K2 Five that provides similar functionality to the “Query User Profile” action in Nintex Workflow? Thanks,Rizki

"Link to item" issue for a SharePoint list item

I have a SharePoint online list with K2 SmartForms (5.8 on prem).Using the out of the box generated SmartObject for this list in order to get the link to an item, I get a link like this one: https://[tenant].sharepoint.com/sites/[sitename]/Lists/[listname]/DispForm.aspx?ID=1 that normally works (making a redirect).But for a list the link is not functional, the iframe for the K2 Display Item SmartForms remains blank, without errors. Navigating the site, the link to the Display form is functional.Do you have an idea for what reason is happening?
