K2 blackpearl

On Client Smart Form activity,   What are the pros/ cons of setting this tickbox  unticked?

We are using K2 BlackPearl 4.16060.2000.2 on both production and development servers. Beginning this month, K2 development server started throwing the following events: 1056 Developer License does not allow running as a service. Anyone seens this before? Does this mean the K2 dev license expired for this server. If that is the case, how did this go on for past 1 month or so. 

Here is the scenario, when an approver denies or approves a list item, I need to save approver's user ID or Name in a custom field in SharePoint list. SharePoint list has "Modified By " field but when K2 Workflow updates an item, this field has default K2 user and not the actual user ID. So I can not use "Modified By " field and  I need to retain the user ID that last updated the item in a separate field. I am updating list item using "Update List Item" option in K2 Workflow. Thanks,

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?

Hi, How dow we implement the single sign on(SSO) with SAML way of authentication against the Azure Active Directory services (AAD). As per the documentation below, K2 supports SAML authentication for SSO. Documentation has the list of steps to achieve the OAuth way of SSO with AAD, but has no steps detailed to achieve the same for SAML way doing with Azure Active Directory. Does anyone have got the documentation or detailed steps to achieve the SAML way of Single Sign On with Azure Activie Directory.  Documentation : https://community.k2.com/pfxaw45692/attachments/pfxaw45692/K2_blackpearl/20825/1/K2_Authentication.pdf ThanksPrasant

Hi All Is there a proper method or function to "uninstall" a K2 smartstarter and remove all the associated views, smartobjects, forms, workflows ? We've installed a few to try them out but now dont want them all  thanksPaul

Hi, I have one SharePoint list where my smartforms open up in full on the page (ie, parent window). I have another SP List where the K2 smartforms are opening into a model window. I haven't actually told either them to do this, but want them to always open in the parent and not the model dialogue box, but can't see where the instruction is coming from as the forms and list settings are the same? Does anyone know where the form or list is picking up the setting thay is telling it how to open the forms? Thanks, hopefully this is something obvous I have missed as usual ;-)

Hi.   I am trying to deploy a workflow done in the web-based designer by someone else on my team.  I can see it in K2 Designer, but it does not show up in Package/Deploy tool. I went ahead and re-deployed it as me, just to be on the safe side.  Doesn't seem to help.  Thoughts?  It's a simple workflow.  I can re-create it, but would rather not if I can help it. Rob 

Hi, I am using a SP List smartobject (created from the list itself) and when inserting the fields into a View of a smartform, they don't all seem to work. 1) A SP Choice Column imports as expected and retains the SP List column drop down values2) A People Picker column seems to import itself as a basic text column and does not interact with active directory, just converts to a text input field3) A managed meta data column in SP imports itself as a drop down field but just whirs and doesn't dop anything? Do you have to manually set up the latter two again or should smartform columns know what they are and configure them for me? If the latter then maybe it's something wrong with our deployment (or something I'm doing!) Thanks, Julie

Hello Community, I've created a Workflow and I configured a IPC-Event to call a Sub-Workflow where different Users have to approve.The IPC-Event is configured for Synchronous and in the Destination Rule I've told the event Plan per Destination -> All at once.I also configured the Event for Create a slot for each destination and Resolve all roles and groups to users.The users are stored in a SharePoint-List with a ; seperator. The Problem is now, that when I start the Event the users get the task and they can approve it.But from the moment the first user have approved the workflow will go forward and don't wait for the other users. I tried already to set up a Succeding rule "All of ActivityInstanceDesStatus = Completed". But with this rule, the Workflow will not run forwad.After all users have approved the task will marked as done and nothing happens.It looks like that the Succeding rule is not fulfilled. Does anyone have a idea where the configuration error is? Thank you for your he

Hi, When the Authoriser receives a Client Event notification from the Workflow, the text inside says: Worklist item link: Click to open the worklist item The underlined bit is really user unfriendly and i'd like to change it, but i only want to change it for this process or via the notification, is this possible?I am using my own email template and have the Worklist item link grabbed dragged into it, but can't see any way to change it. I know you can edit the K2 default Mail template, but that will change the link for all processes, I don't want that, just the text to be different per form/process? Is it not possible to edit the link text using HTML in my template to keep the link, but just change the display text? Thanks

I've got a List View on a SmartForm, and I don't need headers on the columns because of how my data is set up. I can remove the text label from the headers, but I can't figure out how to get rid of the solid horizontal bar that displays at the top of the View where the headers would go.Is this possible?

   Bonjour,    Je cherche a établir une connexion à partir d'un client (SourceCode.Workflow.Client) vers une instance K2.    Le client se trouve sur ma même machine que K2    Dans la string de connexion il est demandé d'entrer le host de K2.    Où puis-je trouver cette valeur?    G essayé     - "localhost" (port 80 et 5252)   - "127.0.0.1" (port 80 et 5252)   - "IP Du Serveur" (port 80 et 5252)   - "k2workspace-xxx.be"  (port 80 et 5252​)    Le message d'erreur m'indique à chaque fois: Unable to resolve address No such host is known.    Toute suggestion sera la bienvenue. Cordialement.Claude

How do I get a workflow ID?

Hi,I have an item view with 3 drop down list controls. The font must be Arial 12 and despite setting it on the Style, it is not applied.How can i change the Drop down List controls (just on this View) to Arial 12?The dropdown itself can be widened both horizontally and vertically via Padding, but the font stays the same when selecting an item from the list and afterwards.I do not want to change the theme, as that will affect all forms.Is there a scripty way (using a data label, literal and some script) to change the font on these controls please?Thanks,

I am pretty sure this is not possible, but I thought I'd as you experts.   Is it possible to get workflow (and/or Smartform rules) to write something like this in a memo field on a smart form as separate records onto a database table using the 'create' SmartObject method?  I'd like the end user to be able to copy/paste a list of document control numbers either from an e-mail or a spreadsheet into the field, and then click "Save" or something and have the list of items get written as individual work item records in the database.   I've experimented with Create Reference and For Each, but can't get it to work.   Any thoughts? Rob 

Hi there, I am trying to see if it is possible to achieve the following: I have a view with text boxes A B and C.  I also have two buttons, Button 1 requires that A has a value, Button 2 requires the A B and C all have values. (image 1) I I first click Button 2, then the validation highlighting for all three boxes as expected (image 2).  If I then click Button 1 the highlighting for all three text boxes stay as required, however only the first one actually needs to have a value inserted. (image 3) Is there a way to clear the original validation highlighting from the first Button click? I have tried to work around by calling from Button 1 a seperate "if the view passes validation" rule and setting it to validate a control that always has a value, to make the view pass that initial validation, hoping it would then revalidate, but this didn't clear it either (image 4) Thanks    

I have created a smart form. And dragged the item view and list view in there. I have linked the list view to my smart object (using the SQL). The requirement is I need to write a few numbers in my textbox and when I click on the Save button (these are in the item view), it should update the row of the list view and also update the SQL database table by adding a row in there.I am stuck at this point.  

I am creating a form that will be used on a tablet and I am trying to make everything bigger.  I cannot seem to find a way to make the text box and drop down boxes bigger, vertically.  I can make them wider but I need them to be taller.  Adjusting the font size does not have an affect on the box size. Anybody have any ideas?

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: 

When I select "View Flow" from an instance I get directed to "https://forms.usd.edu/ViewFlow/ViewFlow.aspx?ProcessID=186" I need to get directed to "https://workspace.usd.edu/ViewFlow/ViewFlow.aspx?ProcessID=186" It looks like its configured to do this within the Environment, but I'm still getting directed to "forms" rather then "workspace". I have also found this article, but it doesn't give a specific "web.config" to edit. As there are a few of them within the server. Any ideas? Thanks,

Hi community,  I am facing a situation where i am supposed to migrate users from domain AAA to domain BBB, but instead of changing the domain under K2.Server.Actioner, i accidently created another record. Now i am seeing K2:AAAuser and K2:BBBuser. 1. What is the impact of having both records inside K2.Server.Actioner ? 2. What would happen if K2:AAAuser is updated to K2:BBBuser and there are 2 records of K2:BBB in K2.Server.Actioner?3. Which other tables in K2 database uses the ID from K2.Server.Actioner and would need to update and change those task's ID from K2:AAAuser to K2:BBBuser ?  Thanks!
