K2 blackpearl

I'm getting a bit desperated.Recently, there has been an issue with Smart Object List methods over and over again. Affected are only smart objects that have a decimal field and only the list methods. After restarting the K2 service, the error is gone. After some time, however, the error occurs again. I can not detect any errors in the logs and can not recognize the cause. Has this error ever occurred to someone?We are using version 4.7 with the latest fix pack. The attached hardcopy shows the error message when trying to execute the list method by smart object tester.The error message below occurs by the smartforms: Type: System.FormatException Source: mscorlib Method Base Member Type: Method Name: StringToNumber Module Scope Name: CommonLanguageRuntimeLibrary Declaring Type Full Name: System.Number Stack Trace: at System.Number.StringToNumber(String str, NumberStyles options, NumberBuffer& number, NumberFormatInfo info, Boolean parseDecimal)at System.Nu

Hi, I got multiple file attachments working with a form and can see them in a list. Is there a way of getting the File size off all the File attachments and checking if they they do no total more than 20 MB? The attachments are all added to an email and sent to an Email address, however there is a limit of total email size of 20 MB, so the message will not get sent. The only way i can think off is somehow totalling the size of the all files in the List View and then if > 20MB, pop up a message and do not send the email. Is there a way to total the file size of the file attachments in the list view? Thanks.

Hi, Got a Toolbar button on a list. The button background is the same as the list, i want it to standout. So i changed the background of the button, but then it's completely flat and when the user hovers over it, nothing moves. Is there a way to make the Tollbar Button Background/Font colour change as the mouse hovers over it? I like my stuff to be user friendly :-)

Can someone point me to the documentation on how to restrict permissions to an Editable list view for a SmartObject? I've tried restricting permissions via Management, but the user that is testing can us the editable list URL to edit.  Any advice on what am I doing wrong? Thanks!

A smartform is used to capture multiple approvers in a SP list column let's call it "Approvers". When workflow is  kicked off, destination users in a client activity should be set to users in Approvers column. This worked fine in SharePoint designer but not working in K2 Studio.... So I tried to create a data field in workflow in format domain-nameuserID1; domain-nameuserID2; domain-nameuserID3. I was able to create this variable but when I assigned this variable to destination user, worklist didn't get assigned. It looks like K2 studio doesn't like multiple users in one single line. I even hardcoded above strings in designer, it didn't work either. If I specify then in different lines, worklists get assigned. Since number of approvers are not fixed, assigning on separate lines is not an option. Please see attached.Any ideas how I can set multiple destination users in K2 studio?Thanks

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.

I am building small application to keep track on contractors hours. I have already built Entry form  ( Item Form) and Display Form( View Form).View Item Form is only set up for Weekly view. You can only add hours for this week. Now i want to add funcationality to allow users to go back a week and edit the entries they made.For that i have added Previous Week Button :Can can i add Calendar control to allow them to filter item for previous week. What would be a right approach to do this? Thank you 

Hello K2 Community - We will be implementing K2 4.7 soon and I am working on pulling together our internal K2 governance. I would greatly appreciate any guidance you would be willing to provide. Maybe I am approaching this wrong but I cannot seem to find anything related to this topic online. Can we change the 8-hour period and what is the impact of doing so? I have in my notes we might be able to change to 4 or even less? Per our initial internal testing, it didn’t require anytime at all for access. After a person was newly added to a group and they could interface with a K2 workflow immediately? What are your thoughts? How would you define these? Thank you in advance for your time. Brian

Me, again. Looking around, I see plenty of references to doing this in Sharepoint, but we don't have K2 integrated with Sharepoint. I'd love to be able to use workflow to move a file from one network location folder to another. So, for example, if a file gets dropped into Folder A, as part of the workflow I'd like it to be moved to Folder B.   It seems as though this should be possible ... but I'm not imagining how to do it. Thoughts on the hypothetical? Rob

Hi,on a SharePoint page showing K2 Black Pearl web parts for my tasks, system status and livefeed, it started showing errors last week - before that it worked fine. Browser is Chrome version 84.0.4147.125. It works fine if I open the page in Internet Explorer. "ErrorMultiple authentication attempts detectedMore DetailsDetected an instance where Relying Trust is not configured properly, and requesting tokens repeatedly. Please ensure that the link to the K2 Server is added to the browser's trusted sites." What's wrong? How to fix?

Hi, I want to concatinate two values from two drop down lists and populate the new value in a text box.When I applied the below rule "When dropdownlist1 is changedif an advanced condition is true (dropdownlist1 equals value and dropdownlist2 has a value)the transfer data Expression (Concatinate dropdownlist1, dropdownlist2)"Only the value from dropdownlist1 is populating in the text box.But when I give the same expression directly in the text box property it will populate both the values while execution. Please help me to complete this. Thanks in advance.Regards,Abin K Thomas

Is there a possibilty to select a row in list view programmatically (via rule or javascript code), so that the item click event will be fired? E.g. select the row with id = 1234.One thing to mention: a "list item click"-method exists for a view, but there a no input mappings for it. So, what is it good for? 

Could anybody advise if there is a way to hide the Selected Filter on a list view. Many thanks Andrew  

I have developed a form which uses a conformation message box. If the user click on Cancel I need a panel in the form to close. If the user clicks on OK In need to run a smart objects save. Could any body advise how I could create this rule thanks. Regards Andrw

I'm stumped on how to trigger or trap an event out of K2. I have a view with a Google Map, the user types in a Lat and Long and I have some custom Javascript which traps the change event and moves a marker on the map to the desired location. The user also has an Autocomplete on my location table. The autocomplete does a Transfer Data to set the same Lat and Long text boxes. The problem is updating a text box with a K2 rule (or any javascript update) doesn't trigger the change event. Is there a way to trigger a custom javascript event on a Transfer Data or similar rule? I tried listening to ajaxComplete but got nothing.

In my quest to give the best user experience, a thought occured to me regarding Approvals... At the moment, I use offline approval for forms which require authorisation.The Authorisers get an email, which they reply with the word approve or decline for example. While this works great and does the job, I was wondering if there was any way of replacing that Approve / Decline with Buttons inside the email, is this even possible? I know you can use an alternate way of approving requests via a Link to the workitem, then approve it, but that to me is more time consuming and a 2-step process. In an ideal world, I'v want buttons in a email which the user clicks and that acts as a reply to the email and send the word "Approved" to pass back to K2 andcloses the email as well..... I know you can have voting buttons in Outlook, but was wondering if that could be done within the body of the email.....Can you use HTML/Javascript to create buttons within the email message? Is this possible, or pie in

I have included dates on message, emails and workilist notifiaction and there are all presenting as Year - Month - Day. Can anybody advise how to change the foramt to day - Month - Year RegardsAndrew

Hello, I am attempting to use a Drop-down list column in my list view. The other columns in the list draw  from a single data source  (table A),  and the drop-down column will also be coming from that same source. I created a separate SmartObject that could be mapped to table A, which I could then use to create the drop-down column. However,  the  values don't display for this column, but they do show up when I double click a row to edit it. Any help with this would be appreciated!

Hi Everybody, I want to export k2 workflow items's document/files/zip files to a json file or any other format. How could I do it? I don't want to export the reviewers info, Just want to export the workflow item name and the document insides it. Thanks.Jennifer.

I am using the autocomplete control for our people pickers from SharrePont lists, but when I attach it to the SharePoint Integration People Picker Sourceit has 2 issues, which there doesn't seem to be a fix for                1 - Despite populatin data on initliase it does'nt actually work for a few minutes                2 - When it does start working it omits some names I know exist                3 - (worst bit!) ... it will show a user display name when entering on the 'New form' but when calling back the data                      on a 'edit' or 'display' form, the ID will be returned.  This seems to be a bug that has never been resolved? Instead I used a 'user' smartobject found the management folder on a SharePoint site, this was far more robust than the above one BUT I'm concious that some users won't be stored there if they don;t have access to the site. Solution? ... I tried attaching the 'Active Directory User' smart object but it comes up with an error saying "requires list

Hi, what exactly does the parameter "Database Maximum Decimal Value"?In which cases the parameter has to be adjusted? Andi

Hi, Normally i use a Javascript (Data label + expression) in View and Form tables to change the Table background as follows: <script type="text/javascript">$(document).ready(function() {$("span[name='TableCSS']").closest('table').css({'border':'darkgrey 1px solid', 'background':'#White'});})</script> But I simply cannot get the above to work when the Table in in an Editable List. The Tables above the Editable List have a grey background, I want to change it to white, but the above script will not apply it. I have put the data lable inside the Table and no matter where i place it, the table background remains Grey. As mentioned, same script works on Item Views and Forms, just won't work with List/editable View. I don't want to touch the CSS templates etc and prefer the Javascript method. Any ideas how why it isn't working? Thanks

OK so i'm basically suffering on the limitations of the K2 for SharePoint App. Some vital things I'm having to create using PowerShell scripts (which execute REST calls to SharePoint) are stuff like list counts and viewing if Documents are open by users and locked for editing (not checked out). For example - in SmartForms you're expected to retrieve all the items of a list (potentially thousands) to a page and then perform a count using a list aggregator in an expression. This is daft and not what the browser is intended for. Anyway - I've decided to go down the route of creating a Service Instance for the REST Service Type. I've generated a Swagger Descriptor file based on the REST API method for "ItemCount" which returns a single JSON object coutaining the item count (surprisingly). The URI looks a bit similar to the following and works great in a browser, Fiddler and Postman: /_api/web/Lists/getbytitle('MyList')/ItemCount Now i'm able to create the Service Instance and generate the

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
