K2 blackpearl

Hi, I'm current training on K2 Blackpearl (using a virtual machine environment) and the Exercise Guide says to do the steps shown in the image below (they're from the Exrcise Guide PDF, not the outcomes shown to me) to add Out of Office Exceptions through K2 Management. But when I search the workflow process and the sample activity for the user Jonathan King, it displays "No items to be displayed"...I did the steps below for 3 other users (Bob Maggio, Administrator and Anthony Petro) and it workedperfectly, so I copied and pasted the Process from Bob to Jonathan and expected it to work but it displayed "Unresolved Elements Found"...the Exercise Guide tells me to do something that simply doesn't work but why it doesn't work for this specific user only? I've restarted the Exercide Guide from page one twice, and this simply keeps happening so I'm not skipping any step...can anyone help me please?

I am trying to setup K2 4.7 and post setup I am facing issue K2 Service not able to start.In K2 management console the error is coming as server N____:5555 does not exists.I tried to repair the entire setup, result still being same, also I found Hostserver.server is not having any entry which is strange as DB is also getting created during installation process only.  Please advise if anybody faced similar issue!! Thanks in advance!

Hi, I have a list displaying attached files, but the filenames are tiny. So you would think that i could go into the column and change the BODY font of my choosing, but alas it is Greyed out? Why can't the font be changed on a File column? Thanks

Quick question, Say i have a 2(row) x 3(column) table. I want my label to span two rows, but i want the second column to have 2 rows for my text fields, is this possible? At the moment i have my label in the top row, then the text fields on the top and bottom row... Which leaves tooo much space. I don't want both text boxes in one row, because i use column 3 for tables and they get messed up... Possible?

Dear K2, Does SharePoint Content service broker Impersonation work on SharePoint 2013 sites? FYI, SharePoint Service V2 service broker impersonation works on SharePoint 2010 sites in our environment. Thanks.

Hi, I'm seeing issues with our SmartObject tester in K2 5+, I want to install a FileService broker, but our PROD version is acting up. Environments:DEV - 4.7PROD - A Clean install of 4.7 then upgraded to 5+.  DEV - 4.7 No issues Any ideas? This SmartObject tester is on my local machine which was installed with 4.7 as a side note. Thanks, 

I have an IPC event that spawns many child workflows to a list of people using the destination slot data.  If the spawned tasks are not completed in 3 days, I use an escalation rule to GoTo an activity (within child workflow) that ends the child and routes the Workflow back to the Parent.I need the parent to wait till all child workflows are completed or the escalation rule kicks in and they all come back.I've read many things on using All Slots Results = complete, declined, etc, but I'm faced with a wizard for the succeeding rules and I can't figure out what to put in it. Questions:1. The child workflows that are escalated to close them - what is the slot status?2. How do I configure the wizard below in the succeeding rule to wait for all to be done? The second screen shot below is what I have set up now and it ends the workflow because I assume it doesn't meet the criteria. 

Is it possible to make the event notification email to be dynamic, based on data in Sharepoint list ?For example:The data in Sharepoint list column EmailText is the following:Upload {DocumentName} document, and due date is {DueDate}. {DocumentName} and {DueDate} are from another Sharepoint list, and I also have them in the workflow's Data Fields (Data field DocumentName contains DocumentA, Data Field DueDate contains 10/1/17). I would like the event notification email to replace {DocumentName} and {DueDate} with the value in the Data Fields, for ex:Upload DocumentA document, and due date is 10/1/17.  {DocumentName}  and {DueDate} are just 2 examples, it can be any Data Field. Is that possible ? Thank you.

Hi Guys,I work aound the Email Event to send email notification about the status of the approval process whether it has been approved or declined. Step-1: Now, I would like to send email FOR Approval or Declining the worklist item. User gets an email with message body as 'To action your task via email, respond with one of the following actions:ApproveDecline Once the user type the Approve and reply to the email , the task action should action accordingly and advance the workflow.  Step-2: Approval Task should be two parallel task. First one is the smartform activity and another one in parallel is email approval task. User can approve either through email or smartform and either one will advance the workflow to next approval task. Concept of parallel activity. Please help me find the resources or any guidance will be greatful to work on this scenario. Thanks a lot.

I am updating some forms to be used by different browsers and I have a couple of questions. Firstly I have identifred the following User Agenrts. When  I am setting up the conditional formatting do I put in each or do I combine them. Chrome: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/41.0.2228.0 Safari/537.36Edge: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/42.0.2311.135 Safari/537.36 Edge/12.246Firefox: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:40.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/40.1Safari: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_9_3) AppleWebKit/537.75.14 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/7.0.3 Safari/7046A194A And secondly if these are used on a mobile device do I need to add anything further. I would be graetful for any advice Mant thanks Andrew  

Hi, I have 2 workflows on a SharePoint list. 1 workflow is set to fire when an item is created and 1 workflow is set to fire when a list item is updated. However, the 'updated' workflow is also firing when an item is first created.  Is this expected behavoir or should it only fire when an actual update has been made to the original item? I have checked the rules on the form to ensure that when it is creating the original item it isn;t doing it in staggered steps that could be construed as an 'add' and simultaneous edit' I am using K2 5, any ideas?  Thanks.

There doesnt seem to be any ootb method to control a zone width on a form, has anyone found a way to do this with css/javascript?  I've searched here but only similar threads were from 2014 and no answers. For example I want two views showing vertically next to each other on a form, 1 view to be 70% and the other to be 30%.  The form just splits them 50/50 which looks terrible :-(   Its very limiting when trying to lay out a complex form to appear user friendly.   Thanks for any tips or tricks to achieve this, Julie :-)

K2 Newbie.  Trying to make a growing Expense report with K2 and have not been able to find something that shows me how I might be able to do this. If anyone has an example that would be great. Here is the idea. User data at the topA growing form, only adds one line at a time. (This is the part I am not sure how to make happen) Totals and sheet key at the bottom for mileage.  Once submitted, kicks off a work flow to manager for approval, rework, denied.Back to the growing form. I would like it to show a blank line, but once the line has all required fields filled the user clicks an ADD Expense button for another line “growing the sheet” downward. Is this doable, or do I need to set the sheet with a set number of fields and have the user limited on the sheet to that number? Thanks,Brandon

We're trying to install and run K2 for SharePoint [4.7] on a SharePoint 2013 test server. After adding the app then trying to run it for the first time, it gives an almost blank page where only the SharePoint header is visible. NOTE this is the first time that we try to install K2 for SharePoint, and I have a strong feeling that the problem is with the SharePoint and/or K2 App, not with the K2 Blackpearl server since the "K2 Registration" step was not yet initiated. We did follow instructions. Appdeployment.exe was run successfully and health check was OK. I attached screenshots demonstrating the problem: 

We have a Smartbox drop down list which is populated from a table query.  The list contains a group of students for a class. We have set up an editable list where a person can select each individual student to take an exam. Can we add a control to 'Select All' the students and add them to the test form? I am looking into using the for/next logic, but not sure how to use this, and I can't find a clear example; at least for me. If I were programming this I would save all members in the table collection to an array, then parse through them one at a time to add them to my new list.   After they would all be added, there is another form button to write them out with the form. I would need some screen shots of rules, or routines (an example); if I were to get this to work. Thanks!  Any help is appreciated; it will save some time for entering information.

Hello community. I've changed the cfg file on C:Program Files (x86)K2 blackpearlSetupconfiguration.config. But in the object browser inside VS 2013 it always redirects to another server offline/online. I know it because it redirected to another IP that isn't mine. There's a way to change it via some another cfg file or some parameter in VS 2013? Any help will be appreciated. Thanks. Regards.
