How can i make a PDF from these form Feilds? it generates the PDF file, no problems , but it doesnt even try to generate the PDF with the form feilds (Data Labels) Why is this so? it just generrates the PDf and when i click to view it opens an empty PDF 

This is the rule to generate the PDF Form which is known to make PDF Documents when EMakePDFButton is Clickedthen execute Save as PDF control's Save PDF method (configure) Then i get this challenge on how I can get this PDF document to be shown on the Listview created using PDF File Smart Objects. Please what exactly am I missing?

Hello. One of the things I have noticed about K2 ever since starting to use it for a year and a half now is when a form has to return a List to display and there are many records, I find K2 to be almost unbearably slow to list them. For example, I have a simple List View against an Oracle table to return records. There are currently 2664 records in the table. Now I admit thats quite a few records and may impact performance a little but not like it is. It takes 20 seconds to load the page. I do have filters to allow records to pull faster but for it to take that long when wanting to view all records on the form, to me is terrible. Is there something I am missing or something that can be done to improve performance of the K2 form returning these oracle records? Thanks for your time and help.Steve

Hi, Our K2 forms have a frontend Microsoft TMG redirector which has always forwarded all forms beginning with for examplehttps://ilovek2.com/runtime/runtime/form/FORMNAME to the K2 server (to mask the server name from users) TMG is now being phased out, so i need some kind of a solution to replace it without affecting all my settings in the forms/workflows (like task URL) which point to https://ilovek2.com etc etc Is there any way of setting this up within K2 or use an alias to forward requests to K2 via an external URL address such as https://ilovek2.com/runtime/runtime/form/FORMNAME Within K2, we have realm entries which handle the masked URL, but how can we do this without TMG as the frontend? Thanks 

I have followed a tut i saw on here to generate PDF using the save as PDF control and hence i have also used this Rule :When eDealSlipButton is Clickedthen execute Save As PDF control's Save PDF method (configure)Now challenge is, i dont get to see where the PDF is saved to, i dont even get to see where the pdf listview is So i started to wonder if there apparently has something I am actually missing here

Hi, I have a couple of hardcoded URLs in the Task URLs, which i will need to change when migrating the forms/processes to a new server with a different name... so it got me thinking Is there anyway of passing in the Server name / realm name from the context browser, rather than typing into the Task URL? If i could use the Server Name (from a field or reference) + manually type in the remainder of the form name and any paramaters, that would be ideal, as they never change, just the hostname will change and one less worry when going server migrations... Hope there is a way. Thanks 

What JSCSS libraries (and versions) K2 SmartForms include out of the box?

Hi, Just about to tackle a move up in Operating system, so i'm setting up a new K2 v4.7 server and will also have a new HOSTNAME. Is there any things to be aware off when backing up the current version and restoring to the new v4.7 server i should be aware off, especially when the new server will have a different Hostname? i'm thinking of: 1) backing up K2 DB on old server (windows server 2012)2) installing OS Windows 2016 on new server3) Installing SQL (same version as other server)4) Restoring K2 DB to new server (different drive)5) Install K2 v4.76) Install k2 patches, CUs etc. Is this the correct order? What will happen to any Task URLs etc which i've used in workflows etc? Will they all need to be redone?Any other advice, will workflows be affected?Any other things to ensure it goes smoothly? Thanks

What is the difference between the Create and Generate SmartObject feature in the SmartObject Tester Tool(SMOT)?         *Create SmartObjects is a tester tool feature only, which uses legacy API methods to create the SmartObjects and uses system name matching to do the updates.  Which is not always 100% safe as a different SmartObect with the same name could be overwritten.  It is there for up to the user to make sure on the Create screen whether there are any clashes and whether the name needs to be appended.     The Create SmartObjects option will allow you to specify the category path location where to create the SmartObjects and whether you want to append the system name to make it more unique. The names will be appended at the end of the name. This means that you can use the Create SmartObjects method to create multiple SmartObjects from the same ServiceObject by just appending the name differently every time.     *Generate SmartObjects is the newer API method, which only publishe

Hi, According with Microsoft, https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/exchange/2018/07/03/upcoming-changes-to-exchange-web-services-ews-api-for-office-365/ Will it affect K2?

How to assign a URL concatenated string value to a data label in K2 forms. I have a URL as  dev.maharajaforms.com/runtime/runtime?Id=1422&bangId=4dghhg99 In the above url, I just need to extract Id value and bangId value and assign them to Form parameters. Please help me

Quick question, does the file SourceCode.EventBus.ClientRecorder.dll.mailTemplate run from the bin folder in which it resides? Reason why I am asking is that I want to use images inside a custom copy of the template, if the file runs from this location then adding a folder with images here should work as long as I keep a backup for post upgrades. Thanks in advance

Hi Mates,Can we display the total number of pages in Samrtforms ListView.?

Hi folks,I'm starting a workflow that has to check a datasource for changes and exceute a IPC event based on the result. (It runs a stored procedure and only has to react if there are results.)So far I've got the workflow scheduled using the scheduler in Management. This works without an issue.However: If I'm not mistaken, everytime a workflow is started through the scheduler it is started as a new instance and thus the ProcInstID increases.I'm not sure of the exact ID range for the ProcInstID or if there is another way to avoid blowing the ID out of proportion.My initial thought was to have one workflow always running that would just loop indefinitely. I've read that this might cause the state to grow too much. Also if the workflow fails somewhere, it freezes up my process.For reference, the schedule I need is: Once every 5 minutes during workhours. (So you can see why the ID would increase rapidly!) Has anyone had a similar situation? Or a different approach?Thank you in advance for

Fairly new to K2 as i come from a C# background now i have a question i want to ask, How do i get to use .asmx Webservices in K2 to retrieve data from Databases and use them in K2 Smartforms

Hi, Come across an with a recent form which requires the user to spend quite a bit of time entering data on the form.User spent about 2.5 Hours on the form, then clicked on submit and was asked to log back into the form. When the user logged back, all the entered data was lost..... I imagine that user was rather unhappy for the remainder of the day. We use Microsoft TMG to forward form requests to the K2 Server, however this is the first form where a user spends considerable time on. I looked into the issue, and it appears that this is something that Microsoft TMG uses: The Default is Public or Shared Computer - The listner timeout is 20 minutesThe Private computer is 6 hours Because users just login, ignoring the above public/private settings, the session is only 20 mins and hence the timeout. We can't change the public timeout to higher as this would affect all other systems. Is there anything in K2 that can detect the Public/Private Browser session or does anyone know of a way to de

Seems like a 5 people office that like to use BlackPearl will face the issue of a expensive cost of Implementation. Even using a Windows Server 2012 FoundationSQL ExpressLicense for BlackPearl + BlackForms  I wonder if K2 have some kind of small server license that allow k2 BlackPearl to be installed for small offices... or perhaps they have to wait until a web-based tenant of K2 is available for their usage.

VS2015 Pro Update 3.NET 4.7.02558 installedK2 for Visual Studio 4.0.4.6 installed View Destination Code, there is a warning icon that Method DestinationRule_ExecuteCode could not be resolved.   (this type of error occurs for all the view codes of all types) Right click on an empty space, select Generate Handle. Cannot create method in the associated activity 'DestinationRule_9c16fd.....".  Make sure a class with this activity name exists. In the past it would generate Initialized/Completed stubs for me to put custom code in.  

Quite a novice to using two Forms in K2 for Approval,Like an Originator and an approver, one sends the request, and the other Approves the request and sends to the second party who in turn verifies the information and upon update sends a notification to the Originator. I wanted to know how i can go about something like this Like where do i start? So far I have been able to have it linked to one of the Approvers , but in this case there are 2 of them like this chain Originator -> First Approver - > Second approver. How do i go about something like this?

Hello,The 'click to open worklist item' only works on the initial email, which is sent when a new item is added. In the next steps of the workflow, when I click on the link, it opens a blank list item. Anyone have an idea on how to fix?

Hi All  I am working on a project where we have a requirement to let the User update the Environment Variables. I wanted to check if anyone has tried or know of any SmartObject which can be used to update the Environment Variables ?

Hi, Is a List view is limited to 20 records per page (to save on Loading all records at once) and returns 4 pages for example, how can you then want to create a PDF of all 4 pages at once? The Save as PDF control only captures what is on that page... Any ideas? Thanks peeps

Again a newbie question, so forgive it on the general forum, but you veterans are a good place to start I hope! We are a very SharePoint focused organisation but we have several other LOB SQL systems that we want to hook into and write back to hence buying K2. Our interaction with LOB systems can wait ... but there is a lot we can do with it in the short term without the required API's. But I am up against a wall at the moment when someone asks for a fairly simple KT solution (ie: smartforms/workflow) in regard to whether I build this on a SharePoint list as the data source or I use the inbuilt K2 Database and create the smart object from there instead. My instinct is to use a SharePoint (SP) List as the data source because we can visualise the data captured very easliy in house (infact any SP power user can untilize it and filter etc on the data views and create what views they need on the list, they can roll it up across sites and use it on dashboards using external tools).  If I use
