Hello again guys.I'm using the workdesk and I'm trying to configure a new Workdesk for the users.The problem is that I can't find a way to register new forms in order to use them in the Workdesk. Do you a way to register the forms? Or where should I register them? There's an option to register a form using the URL but is not working.I can't find a button or a form to do it. Please, look at the screenshots below.Regards. 

Does anyone have the presets needed for abcPDF 10 .HtmlOptions to render Smartforms? I would either get Unsupported Browser message or "Script is Disabled" renderings.

Hi all. I am (very) new to K2. As in - we still have consultants doing our K2 development for us for the time being. We want our current system to integrate with a brand new K2 solution. I have a question about the source stored procedures used for Smart Objects. A lot of our stored procedures are very complex, using conditional statements and temporary tables. However, our consultants are telling us these stored procedures is a problem because K2 tries to automatically get the schema for the smart object from the stored procedure. This would mean that we'll need to write a lot of duplicate code, and I'm not sure that we'll be able to get away from conditional statements and temporary tables in all cases, as we have some very complex stored procedures. I was wondering - isn't there some way arround it? I find it a bit weird that a product as powerful and versatile as K2 would have such a terribly restrictive limitation build into it? Isn't there a way to define the schema manually - ra

Hello Guys, I have a typical situaion where a task will be intially assigned to a AD Group. (one Worklistitem will be created in the name of this group as destination)Now i want to specifically assign this task to an individual user . I tried redirecting the task, but it didn't work. Instead it is creating a new worklistitem with the redirected user as destination and old one with group name is also still available. Could any one guide me with your ideas for dealing this situation. Thanks,VIjay.

My form has several multi-line text fields. My client wants to see the inputted text appear on a confirmation email (generated during an Email Event in the workflow) and wants to see all the "new lines" that the user has inputted. The problem is that when the user types the following into the text field: Note 1Note 2Note 3 The email shows this text as: Note 1 Note 2 Note 3 I understand that the email renders HTML but I don't know how I can programatically insert a <br/> tag after each new line. I currently have the form setup to send the multi-line text field data into a Data Field in the workflow. I then put the Data Field into the body of the email. But with this, the reproduction of new lines has not been successful. Any ideas? Thank you very much.

Word Document Generator Service Broker ROCKS.  Release 2 is out for this MS-Word generator and It rocks. not just that the Developer NZidan did an outstanding job and respond very positive on the  feedback provided, this makes the Broker extremely flexible, allow you to have full control on: Path where DOCX Templates are StoredPath where DOC files are generatedChoose the SMO where files will be created. Just got installed and it was a breeze... like the documentation...  1) Copy the file  Link Solutions Broker.dll to: C:Program Files (x86)K2 blackpearlServiceBroker2) From the Smart Object Tester "Register Service Type"3) From the Smart Object Tester "Register  Service Instance"4) From the Smart Object Tester "Register  SmartObject"  Since you can use any SMO by name I use SQL To have the MS-Words linked correctly to each process. I use the following code in SQL to build the TableCREATE TABLE REF_ATTACHMENTS_GENERIC(ID int IDENTITY(1,1) PRIMARY KEY,[File Name] varchar(max), OR Attachmen

Configure Rule Step:   1. Set and configure an "Event Rule" with the "send an e-mail" Actions Rule.      2. Configure the "send an e-mail" rule "From:" section.Note: This is where the "From Address"  usually goes from "Environmental Fields > Mail Server"Give "Send As" Permissions to K2 Service Account:      1. Navigate to File > Info > Account Settings > Delegate    2. Click "Add" and Select User from Address Book then click "OK"Note: You can have either Author or Editor as an option based on security guidlines.  4. User should appear under Delegates Menu:       If successful should see a similar result below:  You may have to configure your SMTP or Exchange settings to get it to work properly.    

I'm going thru K2 Tutorial: Sales Order ApplicationI created the Advanced SmartObjects in a specific Service Instance by creating the tables first in SQL ServerIs it possible to create the Regular (non-Advanced) SmartObjects in the same specific Service Instance INSTEAD of the default K2 database? TIA

Hello! I had some fields in a SO that I was no longer using so I deleted them. Now, every time I try to run a form that uses this SO, I get the error "Smart Object Unknown could not be found." I can't edit any views or anything either, I check out and then double click to edit and just get a blank area of the screen where the design canvas of the view should be. I get "Object reference not set to an instance of an object" when trying to edit any of the forms. Therefore, I can't even recreate the SO.  

Hi, Does anyone know how to add a watermark to a form like in a word document e.g. to say IN DRAFT across each page. ThanksSana

I am working on some K2 solutions that rely heavily on SmartForms. When building these forms, I usually find that I need to reuse some parts such as logic. What I do now is that I create a button, and place all of that logic 'behind' that button. Next I hide that button. On the locations that I want to implement that logic, I connect to that hidden button. Basically, what I need is what is referred to as a function in other languages. What would be the best way to do this in SmartForms.

Hi, I've created a SmartBox SMO and trying to summarize the values stored in there and display the total in a SmartForm DataLabel. For example there are three rows returnd by the GetList-Method in the following manner: ID, Description, Value1, Value1, 102, Value2, 203, Value3, 30 Now I want to display the value "60" in a DataLabel in a SmartForm. Is there an approach how to accomplish this? Thanks in advance!Christian

Trying to change the label of a CheckBox field in a list view.  But it does not let me select the field from my smartobject in the expression builder to do so.  Any help?

K2 4.7Have successfully deployed a package but get the 'Object reference not set to an instance of an object' error when loading the form. Have recreated the SMO and still get the same error. 

Does anyone know of a way to export the rules/expressions/controls that have been setup for a view/form?  After setting up each form, I create a backup but the setup documentation is taking a long time.  I was hoping someone could advise on an easier way to have a record of rules/expressions/controls setup per view/form. ThanksSana

Hi, Due to the misconception during initial use of K2 designer, our Production and Development is different being the production having the latest and workable version. Only different on the designer part, the workflow are the same.  Currently the intention is to made changes to the existing workflow. Minor changes, add a smart object event in 1 of the activities. Because the Prod & Dev are different, I couldn't do this. If I do packaging from Dev(working on workflow  K2 studio) and deploying it to Prod will revert the current working version to old version. I'm considering to package everything from the Prod and deploy it to Dev. But I'm not certain of what to expect during and after the process, maybe you can give us a heads up. Also, would it be an issue if I update the Prod workflow directly without going through packaging and deployment? Is it possible/safe to do so?  Thanks

I am trying to link to a shared network drive in smartforms and I can't seem to find a way.  I have tried using the hyperlink control but it doesn't accept the file:// protocol.  Is there another control I am missing that would be able to link to a shared drive? Thank you for your assistance.

Hi Experts, I am building a solution to utilize sharepoint calendar as a list and allow user to book the same through my custom smart form. The challange I am facing is that there is not option to restrict the duplicate booking by design in SharePoint Calendar.  More Details: - I have created a sharepoint Calendar- converted the same in K2 objects using the K2 Blackpearl app- Creating a custom form to book the calendar by having start time and end time date picker on the form- I want to show the user a message if there is a conflict in time which is already booked on the calendar(ideally check from the filled entries in calendar list) This is really urgent for me, any quick help would be highly appreciated.  RegardsGaurav Mehta

Hi, We are using below code to determine if the current user is admin in K2 or not. System.Security.Principal.WindowsIdentity oUser = System.Security.Principal.WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent();objErrorLogs.LogAction("Current logged in user name:" + oUser.Name.ToUpper());string UserName = System.Web.HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.Name.ToString();objErrorLogs.LogAction("Current logged as per http context:" + UserName.ToUpper());SourceCode.Workflow.Management.WorkflowManagementServer wms = new SourceCode.Workflow.Management.WorkflowManagementServer(sServer, 5555);using (wms.Connection){wms.Open(); if (wms.IsCurrentUserAdmin())return true;} 95% of the time the above code works fine. But randomly 5 to 6% of the time, K2 API IsCurrentUserAdmin() throws the following exception Primary Credentials Not Authenticated. Session Not Authenticated.at SourceCode.Hosting.Client.BaseAPI.BaseAPIConnection.RemoteCall(String TypeName, String MethodName, Object[] Parameters, Boolean[] NullList, MarshalMessa

Hi all, I have scenario in my workflow, when an activity is performed, another activity will be created. The new activity could be performed once by one of the users who are set in the destination users.  Since anyone of destination users can perform and complete the task,  it is expected that all the users are included in the To list of the same email. if anyone performs the acitivity, all other users are also notified in the same email. Now the problem is, I chose  Plan Just Once, one activity is created, all the destination users receive an email respectively with the same serial number. Is there possible that all the destination users receive only one email jointly, with all their names in the To list? Thanks and regards,SH

When starting a new process instance through K2 webservice you can optionally include info about Priority with value of 0-3 which is described here in K2 online help. But "help" just states that "the priority to assign to the process instance" and not one word about if it actually does anything else. I know that the priority field of Activities are only to give a user some visual indication about priority in there task list.  But what is priority of the process itself used for? 

Anyone know how to fix this... On my new Prod server (4.7), i'm using SMTP mail on some forms to send an EMAIL ACTION from the Smartform Rules.Connection Strings etc are all setup fine and copied exactly like the one of my old Prod Server (4.6.11) If I enter the ServiceAccount in the From field, the email will get sent fine to recipient, but if i enter a different FROM address then it just sits in the ServiceAccounts DRAFTS folder and does not get sent. On my v4.6.11 server it has always worked fine, i am able to enter any FROM email address and it sends the email. Been stuck on this for a week and checked firewall, AD account settings, exchange settings, you name it i've tried it.... Anyone got any ideas?

I'm looking for a way to get the current form (or view) Id (guid) or Name from within SmartForms custom control code.I don't want to pass this in as a property or get it from an ajax callback, but during the normal control rending.Additionally, I'm looking for an alternative to parsing the pages request URL (which is do-able, but kinda barfy). This control needs this context so it can lookup or display information about this form or view. Any ideas?

Hi, Im hitting a brick wall at the moment, what i need to do is get multiple list items (user's email addresses). On my SmartForm Im using execute smart object method -> get list items, but it only returns 1 (first) value. Is there a way to collate all these into 1 field or send email for each?I prefer to do it all in a smart form and dont get  workflow involved. I was able to do it in InfoPath (web browser and no code), surely SmartForm can do it. Thanks in advance for any help.

I have 4.7 environment and there are multiple workflows are available and more than 300 form.
