K2 blackpearl

I have a simple form that goes through an approval workflow process. We have configured for K2five to set the properties of the Requested By text box to Current User Display Name, and the Requested Date text box to current date. Our issue is that once the form has been created, each time someone else goes into the form, these fields keep overwriting the Originator's information, even during the workflow approval task process. What step am I missing? I'm fairly new to building in K2, so any help is appreciated.  

Is it possible set up an audit log which records every time a user accesses an application. At the moment I have the user forms set to record the last time an update was made. Any Advice would be appreciated Regards Andrew 

Hi there.   So, I'm in the process of shoring up a workflow to automate it's starting.  In the current state, someone clicks a button on a form every hour and then checks the workflow URL to ensure that the workflow runs properly.  99% of the time it runs without a hitch, but the workflow does execute a database stored procedure as part of the flow, and sometimes the stored procedure fails, thus causing the workflow to fail and stop. What I'm thinking would be logical would be a way to have a line rule from the "Execute Stored Procedure" activity to an "Email" activity that would kick off when the workflow errors at that activity.  Otherwise, the other line would take it to the next activity in the flow.   I'm not seeing a way to do that, however.  Does anyone have any ideas?  The K2 documentation on exception rules does not seem super helpful... Thanks, Rob  

In K2 Studio, how can I specify multiple SP groups to remove permissions? K2 studio allows me to pick only one SP group at a time.. does it mean, if I have five groups to remove, I will have to create five events?  What I am doing wrong? Can someone please try? If you can select multiple grops? We are on version 4.7Thanks,

Dear K2 Community ,We have taken a K2 db backup and restored it to a new server to migrate all live instances, then we installed K2 4.7 based on that restored DB to make this as our new QA K2 application server. But now we understood that in this mean time some more instances has been created in the old server, is it possible to migrate these as well ? Can we do a db backup & restore again? If this is possible, then should we run the K2 balckpearl setup manager again on new server to configure it again?

Today i uninstalled version 4.7 from a server in order to perform and make a guide to a customer on a full instalation from scratch for version 5.2. I followed the steps of the following guide on how to uninstall (including all manual cleaning and verification): https://help.k2.com/onlinehelp/k2blackpearl/icg/4.7/default.htm#Maintain/Uninstall.htm After deleting everything i downloaded the K2 5.2 installer in order to install the new version. However when i run the Setup.exe it goes to the "Upgrade current version", and when I go to the next step I only have "K2 for visual studio" available. Therefore I assume this has not been uninstalled correctly. I've spent all day trying to find any register related to K2, even uninstalled Visual Studio. However i haven't been sucessfull. I already opened a ticket in K2 and will update if the problem is solved. In the meantime, anyone has any ideas?

Is there no way to use validation around a rule completely? In the below ruleset I would like to check validation first then complete every step thereafter. I can't seem to add the validation step around all of the listed rules unless I add multiple validation steps. I figured I could just run one validation up top to check before running then user "Stop rule execution", but there is also no option for "If the Form fails validation".  Is there anything that can be done other then adding in multiple validation steps? Thanks,  

Hello! I have a SharePoint site with a document library using document sets. The document set consists of relevant metadata/properties. Is it possible to create a K2 SmartForm to edit document set properties and how would I achieve this? 

Hi, Is there a scripty/data label way of increasing the height of the text area as each new line is reached? I followed this thread: but the height increases each time a character is entered, which ends up with a huge gap at the bottom of the text area.Also, the first solution only works if you click outside of the text area, which is pointless, as the user isn't likely to do that. Is there a way to have the text area add a line to the height each time a new line starts? Thanks

Hi I'm fairly new to K2 and experiencing a bit of an issue. I have a form that the user wants to save and then a workflow triggers sending the form to the manager. On clicking the link in the email it loads the form with all the data that had previously been save repopulating. I have the whole form loading correctly apart from a checkbox list. The check box is populated from a seperate smartobject with a foreign key being the form GUID. I have done a get list method using the form GUID as the parameter to load the form but only the first option is loading. Any help is greatly appreciated  Thanks Steph

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?

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
