Hi, We are using K2 Blackpearl 4.6.11. I am looking for the DocuSign integration plugin but somehow the link points me to the K2 community's home page. Does anyone have the correct link for the DocuSign plugin? Thanks and Regards,Debasish
Hi,I have an issue with date controls in my forms, they are saving as *personal details removed* every time no matter what date it is. If I do a create in the smartobject tester the date creates correctly, however when I do this within my form it saves as *personal details removed*. Even if I leave the date field empty it still saves as this value. I have tried deleting and re-adding the field, changing the format, hard-coding the date, using the current system date and am still getting the same issue. Can anyone advise?Thanks.
There's a similar post out there about SharePoint, but this relates to Docusign. We intermittently the error (see attached), but lasts for hours at a time. We cannot communicate with Docusign SMO at all. We have already contacted docusign and their solution was downloading and installing the latest certificate, which is also similar to the related K2 article for SharePoint, but this does not fix the issue. Thoughts? Thanks!
Can anyone confirm whether K2 blackpearl 4.7 will be able to send out e-mails via Exchange 2019? It isn't listed as compatible, given the age of 4.7 I don't think its compatability charts were kept this far up to date.
Hi, I use the create reference and for each event to loop through my items smartobject and would like to post it into SAP. However, it will throw error Unable to cast object of type 'System.Object[]' to type 'System.IConvertible'.
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,
I have specified a font size for a list view column header and it renders correctly in the list view designer but it does not render correclty in the smartform that it has been added to. I tried changing the color of the columun header too but not success with that either. I am looking for a solution. Any ideas? Thanks,alv4
Got a few text boxes and text areas on a List View and have added Watermarks to all boxes and set the text to Arial 12 -> The Text Boxes show the watermark in Arial 12 -> The Text Areas show the watermark in tiny Arial 8 (i.e. much smaller) Why is this and how do i get the Text Area Watermark to be Arial 12? If i type in the Text Area, the font is indeed Arial 12, so the problem is the Watermark font size... Bug????
We got the requirement of migrating SharePoint 2010 to SharePoint 2016 where the existing application is having around 15 workflows build on K2 (version 4.5). As a part of migration we migrate the content from 2010 to 2013 and 2013 to 2016. We are totally new to K2.Is it possible to migrate from 4.5 to 4.7 by maintaining the workflow instance state? If yes, what is the procedure.
I would like the drop down to have a static value as the first choice and then populate the rest of the drop down dynamically from a smart object. Ex. first entry is Other Check Number followed by all Check Numbers associated with a specific sub-account
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?
Hi, I would like to find the "seconds" difference between 2 DateTime values. I am able to do it in the smartform using the "Date/Time Difference" operator. But when i try to do the same in Workflow in K2 studio, i dont find this operators options. Is something am i missing here? TIAAnand
Hello Everyone. I have been pulling my hair out on this one trying to figure out why its behaving this way. The following workflow uses a for each to pull all the records from a table. I also have my Reference set up to link to it when obtaining all the values I need for when using the out of the box AD Create service type. It first checks to see if the AD record already exists, if it does it updates the status to COMPLETED in the main table and removes the record in the processing table (the one the For Each and Reference are looking at). If no AD record exists, it creates the AD record and does the same thing, marking the main table to COMPLETED and removing the processing record. If, however, I have a record that when creating the AD record has an error, I capture it (length(DistinguishedName) <= 0), and I mark the the main table record as ERROR and still remove the record from the process table. If I only have the UpdateMainTableSmartObject and take out the RemoveProcessRecordSm
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
I like to start using Third Party Authentication using Twilio SMS to cellphone or email. This will gave the opportunity of provide one more layer of security prior to authenticate with just a simple user/password. When user submit user/passowrd redirect to another page expecting the PIN or Token or whatever you want to call it... which was sent vis SMS to the stored cellphone number or email. then once entered goes directly the de desired page. If for some reason more than 5 or 10 minutes pass. perhaps that is not a valid or expire another request need to be sent. good thing is all the login attempts are stored for reporting. I saw Twilio have some nice interface, but wondering if somebody in the K2 community have some other suggestions/alternatives ? Happy Friday !!!
I have a list view where instructors click the add list view button to add a new student. The student comes into a dropdown and the entry normally works fine. If the instructor doesn't add someone, but instead clicks on the add new row button twice, I get a blank row. My question is: How do I best prevent the blank row problem. I was thinking of adding a color to the blank row, but I am getting confused in add/edit row values and display row values. I would like to add some sort of conditional formatting on the field, so the blank rows show up with some color, and the other rows with values are normal. The blank rows which are added are very, very tiny and hard to see on the form. I can skip them when I go to write out valid data to the smartbox object, but it still leaves blank rows on the screen if I run a validation, and they are so hard to see. Suggestions? I don't want remote services, but trying to find an example of building this routine. Thanks! BKlaege
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 folks, I have a process that requires an option to "return" a task and I'm struggling to solve this without custom code.Let me paint a picture of the situation:An accountant gets an invoice that is imported into the system. He checks it and forwards it to the employee responsible for approving the payment for this invoice.Through escalations we can make sure that, if the task is not completed in 1 day, a reminder is sent. If the task is still open after 2 days, it goes back to the accountant.Also, the employee has the option to open the form and choose "redirect" as a workflow action to send the invoice to a different user.Now for the question:The accountants need an option to get back an invoice. If they sent it to the wrong person or the person they sent it to is not available, they would need to either reassign it or to get it back to them. Waiting 2 days for the task to automatically return is not an option.Here is what I thought of so far:I used a workflow-variable to set the e
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:
Team, I have a form that uses the Send Email action. On the TO field, there is an Environmental field. This field has configured two email:example1@example com;example2@example com This was working until tomorrow when the error message: "An invalid character was found in the mail header ";"". So I changed the semicolon ";" with "," and it worked. Now I have some doubts: - Which is the correct way to separate multiple email accounts (";" or ",")?- Was this a K2 bug? Thanks in advance, Will.
Hi, We have a client which has put the K2 on a Database with Always on high availibilty groups across 2 servers using active passive infrastructure.For the sake of simplicity, lets call these SQL1 and SQL2.Our primary node is always SQL1. This acts as the “Live replica” and all read-write operations are done on it. SQL2 is just on standby and replicating with SQL1 in real-time. In case something happens to SQL1, a failover is automatically triggered and SQL2 now becomes the primary replica. Once the issue with SQL1 is fixed, we usually fail over manually back to SQL1, bringing SQL2 back as a secondary replica. Is this recommended by K2? Will this cause any issues?
I've been at this a while now, I'm reading a boolean colulmn from a list of records. With that, not all the records have a value, thus some contain "NULL" during a looping process. Items without a value are to be orphaned and pushed back into the prior task to again be addressed. Within the Split Rule I've attempted the following: IF (Bool != scnull (Plain text)) THEN...----IF (ToString(Bool) = Empty String (text) THEN...----IF (Bool = True (True/False) OR Bool = False (True/False))THEN IF (Bool = True(True/False)) THEN Approve (Path) ELSE Deny (Path) ELSE Orphan (Path) ----IF (Length(ToString(Bool)) >= 0)THEN IF (Bool = True(True/False)) THEN Approve (Path) ELSE Deny (Path) ELSE Orphan (Path) A Few others, but in the end whenever I compare my Boolean against a "NULL" I get either: String was not recognized as a valid BooleanOR Unable to compare values that are not of the same type Any suggestions? I also though of creating a reference before hand and filtering out thos items in
I have to implement a logic to check if a document exists in a document library using a key field. If document exists, update a custom meta data column. But when document doesn't exist, workflow throws error. How to bypass this error if document doesn't exist?Thanks!
