K2 blackpearl

Hi I have a form which is used to start workflow on the Start Activity. The form originator can either save the form and come back later, or submit the form. Both actions have different outcomes. I can specify two outcomes on Start Activity while designing the K2 workflow but how to configure these actions on the form. The Form has two buttons at the bottom:1) Save: This should follow Save outcome from Start activity2) Submit: this should follow submit outcome from Start activity. How to accomplish this please?PS: I am using K2 Designer to build workflow and smartform.  Kind regards 

Hi folks, maybe someone has an idea for me:I call a subform with three views.On two of these views I have list controls (auto-complete). 5 list controls in total.These need to be populated depending on a parameter of the subform. So in the initalize rule I populate the list controls with the parameter as input value.The results are correct, the list controls populate as expected. The issue is, that this takes ages.I'm talking up to more than a minute load time for a form with just those 5 list controls and a button on the third view. The data for the list controls is coming from SQL tables (one per list control).The SQL-Server itself does not show performance issues.The tables are not big, the biggest one maybe 10000 items, no more. What I've tried:Executing the rules in a batch - no difference Executing the rules asynchronously - the loading icon is not shown this long but the fields are not populated any faster. When trying to select a list control, it freezes until the population is

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

Hi, I´ve got  a general question concerning  XML Files. Is there any way in K2 to read or write to a XML File thats saved on the file system.I could not found any OOB solution so my next step would be to develop  custom service broker for interactions with XML Files. Are there any other possible solutions? I didn´t expect that K2 is not able to read or write to the file system of the server. Best regards,Andreas

Hi,Does anyone know how to uploat to k2 smartforms large (over 300MB) attachements and save them on shared network drive?I would be gratefull for any hints because i cannot find solution to this one.I'm affraid that saving bigger files using standard way would slow down server too much GreetingsWojtek Franczyk

Hi, Anyone know of any dazzling javascript to increase the size of the Watermark for the File attachment control? I've tried the following one: <script type="text/javascript">$(document).ready(function() { $('.theme-entry .SFC.SourceCode-Forms-Controls-Web-TextBox.watermark, .theme-entry .input-control-watermark').css('font-size', '11pt');});</script>but it doesn't apply the changes to the File Attachment watermark. Any ideas?

Hi, I have a date column on the smartform that is showing in US format, when I save the item to the SharePont smartobject it shows on the list view in UK format, but on the smartform it shows in in US and I can't find any setting to set the locale for the date. This I guess will also apply to workflow conditions/actions I set based on a date criteria so need to get it right :-) Can anyone advise where you tell K2 that your platform is in the UK datewise? Thanks, Julie :-)

Hi All Need some help from the CSS experts out there... Is it possible on the AutoComplete control to change the background colour of returned results.For my example I'm using the 'Lithium' theme and find the autocomplete results clash wih the background colour of the formSee the enclosed file I've tried to find a CSS class to change this but no luck yet Any help appreciated thanksPaul

I have been designing a mobile device tracking application for a few days. There is an object called "BroadbandDevice" with a bunch of properties, only one of them being required. The problem I am having is that when I try to set the value of property "Number" as empty, I get the following error:  

I know forms can do tabs at the top, but there seems to be no option for tabbing things in the middle of a view, so I made a tab menu through a data label.However when I click one of the tabs I want it to click an invisible button (since I figured it would be easier than figuring out how to launch a rule directly)These are the JS commands I have tested but the button is never clicked:$( '[name="ButtonName'"] ').click();document.getElementById("ButtonName").click(); var dsmButton = document.getElementById("ButtonName");dsmButton.click(); Neither of those examples worked for clicking the button, and I am not sure why.The html in the data label renders fine and just to test it I did a document.write("test");and that worked, so I know the script is executing. Does anyone know how to trigger a button click through js?

Hi, I'm not able tp deregister a customk control.This solution http://community.k2.com/t5/K2-blackpearl/Cannot-de-register-custom-control/m-p/70494#M20215 does not work for me. The designer website appears the message: "Could not load file or assembly 'LHTabControl' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified." The deregister command does not work with this message:DeregisterControlType Failed: ControlTypeHasInstances,MyCustomControlProjectAGSystem.Data.SqlClient.SqlException (0x80131904): ControlTypeHasInstances,MyCustomControlProjectAG   at SourceCode.Hosting.Client.BaseAPI.BaseAPIConnection.RemoteCall(String TypeName, String MethodName, Object[] Parameters, Boolean[] NullList, MarshalMessageType CallType)   at SourceCode.Hosting.Client.BaseAPI.BaseAPI.RemoteSessionCall(String TypeName, String MethodName, Object[] Parameters, Boolean[] NullList)   at SourceCode.Forms.Management.FormsManager.DoSessionCall(String method, Object[] parameters, Boolean[] nullList

I have a requirement where users submit support tickets via email (helpdesk@abcde.com). Is there a way K2 can get that information and create a new item in smart object?

Team, I am trying to create an "Oracle Service Instance" through "SmartObject Service Tester". As soon as I right click on Oracle Service and click on "Register ServiceInstance" the attached error appears. ODAC has been installed (ODAC 64bits as the server is Windows Server 2012 Standard 64bits) but error message still appearing. TNS_ADMIN variable is configured. Through ODBC I can get access to Oracle databases. What else should I check in order to troubleshoot this error? Thanks, Will

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.

Hi All, Can anyone outline what the rules for using newly created groups within a workflow especially in respect to user membership? We have a custom SQL user manager installed that allows specific users to create "secure groups" for the organisational units they're responsible for and allocate users to these as they wish. This should allow them to restrict tasks that they have access to by replacing the standard destination group with one of these newly created "secure groups" via the workflow's activity destinations. The groups don't change very frequently but we'd like the workflow task allocation to react in real time if it is restricted to a custom group.  From testing we can see that the group creation (in the SQL schema) appears correct and that the task has been re-assigned to the new group but the task doesn't appear available to the group members via their worklist.  I suspect it's because it's not been resolved and cached possibly??? Similar groups created earlier function c

Hi, I want to remove the duplicate and disabled users from License management.Due to these additional users my license user count is exceeding the limit.kindly suggest me any solution. Thanks in Advance. Regards,Hemant

 When the user of a form completes a form, we would like to send the user a link to the form he has just submitted. Can we do this with K2 Designer 4.7 outside of using the workflow?  We can imbed a hyperlink to a form using HTML, but I do not see where we have Sequence_ID to specify the form the user filled out.  Is there anything in context browser to build a link? We do not use K2 Studio, and we do not use the workflow currently.  If this is possible, I would need some steps to follow. Thanks!

Hello guys. I have two questions about escalations 1. I know that is possible to redirect a task to another person... but, is there a way to redirect that task to an especific person? What I need to do is that when a person doesn't complete the task, the task should be redirected to the direct boss of the person that the task was send first. Then if the task remains undone by the direct boss, it redirects again to the boss of the new person in charge of that task.  2, Is there a way to create a dashboard to view all the escalated task of a user from all his/her workflows? To be able to see what users have an escalated task from an especific workflow.  And to check if it's the first or the second escalation.  Do you know if there's a simple way to do this?Thanks in advance.Regards!

Hey everyone, I got an issue when i want to choose list to update list item in K2 Studio.I have a workflow built in 2010 blackpearl, moved into 2016 blackpearl environment and i cannot connect to my SP2016 list. Searching around found that "Sharepoint Item Url" is applicable to 2007/2010 versions. Moving on i would like to pick "Update List" from Sharepoint 2013 - List Events in order to update a field in my sp list. When SmartWizard pops up , i choose use list and the dropdown is empty. Anyone faced it before? Any suggestions? I am pretty new to Sharepoint 2016 Blackpearl.

Hi,  I have a simple K2 workflow attached to a SharePoint list that unltimately sends an email.  In a SharePoint Designer workflow you could grab a dynamic 'list item url' from the workflow context options and insert it into the email body text as an auto hyperlink to open the item in display mode.  The fact it was a dynamic url was useful if the list ever moved to a different location so you don;t have to go back to the workflow and change a hard coded URL. Is there a way to do this in my K2 workflow? Or am I right in thinking I would need to create a manual string of the address and insert a workflow 'reference' to the item ID into the string and just use that in the email?  It's something we do a lot, so wanted to make sure I am doing it the most efficient way! Hope this makes sense, Julie

I have a Smartobject that I want to get rid of. Before doing so, I want to find out what other objects(workflow, forms, views) are using it? How can i do it? Thanks

 Hi all,I know we are in 2017 :) but I'm recently working for an organization that likes things old school and so they still use K2 .NET 2003.Now they finally want to upgrade from K2 .NET 2003 to K2 Blackpearl. And now they want to go all the way...to Blackpearl 4.7.I know its a stretch but is there any tool or way to migrate/convert (totally or partially) the K2 .NET 2003 processes into K2 Blackpearl processes? And how about migrating all process instances that exist in the K2 .NET 2003 database so that they can go into the K2 Blackpearl database? For historic purposes of course. Thanks in advance...     

I've searched everywhere for an answer and tried numerous different things but without success so hopefully someone might be able to help. Its already been outlined in a previous Forum post about how to create a single Header View and move it using JScript to appear above Tabs on a  K2 form (http://community.k2.com/t5/K2-blackpearl/Building-a-tabbed-form-with-navigation-bar/td-p/83385) I was wondering if anyone knows if its possible to have multiple Views appear above the Tabs and if yes, could the script be provided?  CheersDan

Hi Experts, I have a K2 Smart Form on which I have 36 views of response type singleCheckBox and lables. My requirnment is when user checked any one of the checkbox all other checkbox and Lable should be hided, I know we can write the hide/show on the onChange event of any checkbox but it would be very lengthy, is there any other smart way to handle this requirnment ? ThanksShubh
