Can anyone point me to the solution of using a SQL Stored Procedure as the data for the SmartObject that builds a Tree Control. I made the sample table from the document K2 - Tree Control. I made a smartobject out of it, then created a stored procedure that returns the exact same data. I added two tree tables, configured them the same. The table is on the left, the stored procedure on the right. The table behaves normal, and they look the same at first, but expanding the table Tree Control get the expected results, expanding Stored Procedure Tree Control, I get the parents all over again and all the children all at once, open another parent and I get it all over again.      Tree Views look the same on the surface:       Expanding the node is normal for a table, but wonky for a stored procedure:       Table Data set up from the K2 document under "Creating Smart Objects"          The stored Procedure returns the same data as the table.          If anyone has found the solution to fixing
When a workflow generates an e-mail and someone replies to all, the following message is sent. The easy answer is to not reply to all. But is there a way to change the workflow or the server to handle this more gracefully? The message you provided was not understood by the server. Ensure that the serial number of the task is included in your reply. You can find this in the original notification or on your K2 worklist. You can reply with 'Actions' to get a list of actions.Or use a standard action:Redirect: Sends the task to another user and removes it from your worklist. To redirect the task, reply with 'redirect [User]' (e.g., redirect bob, redirect *personal details removed* or redirect K2:denallixob) or simply respond with 'redirect' and specify the target email in the CC line. Delegate: Sends a copy of the task to another user so the task remains available on your worklist. To delegate the task, reply with 'delegate [User]' (e.g., delegate bob, delegate *personal details removed*

Hello, When setting up a recurring workflow and editing the workflow schedule, I was wondering what was the difference between '...every 0 month(s)' and '...every 1 month(s)' in "Settings"? To me it seems that when you set up 'every 0 month(s)', the workflow will only be triggered once but I may be wrong. I tried to browse the community but I couldn't find the answer to that.

Trying to deploy a process. Cleared all the references errors/service instances. But still seeing "Missing References" error on the process. Actually process is the only modified object in package. The only option is "Use Existing Process" or "Configure". While I want to create a new version of process. If I do "Configure". It gives me options to "Create New Process" or "Use Existing Process". How can I deploy the modified process that is in my package? Any help is appreciated. We are on 4.7 Please see attached.
I need admins of a process to be able to redirect tasks that are not assigned to them and they should not have to leave the UI of the process and use the mangagement console.   If I use the management console and redirect a task, it does exactly that, the destination of the task gets updated. No new tasks are created. As previously stated though, using the management console is not business-user friendly and provides excessive functionality. Redirection should be available using a form with a button linked to a smart object call.  If I call the below: System>Management>Users>Task>RedirectWorkListItem then a second task is created for the new user rather than updating the destination of the original task. This is not the same behaviour as redirecting from the management console. Why? How can I allow administrators to redirect a task from one user to another if they are not the owner of the task? This is a fairly basic requirement for a workflow application and should be triv
hello, i m using a web service to comunicate between SharePoint and K2. Into "Smart Object tester", i get the following error when i try to executed a method of my web service :"An error occured while receiving the HTTP response to Vti_bin/SOPA/caseService.SVC. This could be due to the service endpoint binding not using http protocol." Do you have any idea ? Best regards,
Hi Guys,    There was a post a while ago about issues with custom code or web service calls within a process. These external calls are handled by the app domain with a default timeout period of 5 minutes. If the call takes longer than this, then the process with throw the following error:     Object '/[GUID]/[Random Characters].rem' has been disconnected or does not exist at the server.     In order for these processes to go through, a longer timeout will need to be set for the external app pool. An official walkthrough of how to do this is available here:http://help.k2.com/kb001146The only issue is that this article is a bit vague on the full steps, so I will give them here:1. Stop the K2 blackpearl service2. Edit K2Server.setup and change<Remoting Enable="False" />to<Remoting Enable="True" />3. Save the changes to K2Server.setup4. Edit K2HostServer.exe.config5. Scroll all the way down, and before </configuration>, add the following lines:<system.runtime.remoting&
The Picker control can sometimes be a hassle to work with. Especially if we need to filter down to increase performance. To start, here are a few tips to look out for.    - SharePoint Lists that use a People/Group column will have a Picker added to the View by default. This Picker uses a special Smartobject that takes SharePoint User IDs and translates them to AD usernames/emails/login names. It will also translate this to the K2 FQN, which can be helpful for assigning tasks and sending emails.   - Another note about these SharePoint pickers, they will be called (ColumnName) Text Box. This is because the the field starts as a Text box and is changed to a picker. Feel free to rename the control to cut down on confusion.      Filtering  - Filtering on a Picker can be tough. We can filter down by Domain, which can increase performance by a lot, or by K2 Security Label, which filters out even more (We will need to be set up for multiple Security Labels).   - However, this picker will still
Ran into a scenario of needing to utilize a picker control on a form that can contain multiple user values. Want to then be able to take the values from this control and use the SharePoint User SmartObject Add Users to Group Method to update a SharePoint group membership. This is going to be done by using the picker control as input, this control stores the values as FQNs. We will use an expression to remove the K2: label so that the resulting input is accepted by the SmartObject.    1. Create a new expression      Exprssion Uses the Picker Control Text Box. A Replace opererator (from the Text category) to search for the label and replace with an Empty string (also from text operators).     2. In the configuration for the input mappings of the SharePoint User Smartobject and Add Users to Group method use the expression created in step 1 as input for the User Login Name       That should do it. This will result in the following input for the SmartObject call: 'DomainUser1;DomainUse

Issue:When creating a SharePoint Site via a workflow, the site that is created does not have a Navigation Bar. When you create a site via SharePoint itself, you get the option to inherit the Navigation bar from the parent site. The Create Site Wizard in the Workflow Designer does not have this ability.        Resolution:I was able to do this by calling the Create Site method on the Site Smartobject from the SharePoint 2013 > Management Console.     First we will need to allow the Site Smartobject to be used in Workflows.  Please see the following documentation on how to allow smartobjects be used in Workflow.http://help.k2.com/onlinehelp/k2appit/userguide/1.5_update3/default.htm#Management_and_Administration/ManagingK24SPApplicationSettings.htm#SmartObjects     Next, we add the Smartobject to the workflow.  The following documentation shows how to do this.http://help.k2.com/onlinehelp/k2appit/userguide/1.5_update3/default.htm#Build/Workflows/SmartObjectTab.htm%3FTocPath%3DCreate%7CW
Hello,    If you have aever needed to use the newly created Smartobject record as an Item Reference in a Workflow it can be a little confusing.  The below example uses an Out Of The Box Editable List View and a Smartbox Smartobject. We will need to add a parameter, so we can pass the ID of the record created to the Workflow.          Once we have our Parameter created form our Smartobject you should see a rules screen that looks similar to this.       Next we will want to focus on the Save Toolbar rule. This rule holds the Create method that we are interested in.  Configure the Create for all items that have been added rule. It should looks similar to this.       Now the Output Mappings are what we are interested in. We want to Output the ID of the created record into our Parameter.           Save the View as everything is now configured correctly. We will need to pass this Parameter into a Form itself in order to get the value in a Workflow.  We are going to piggy back off the Save Bu
K2 can use multiple authentication Issuers. The most common are Forms and Windows Authentication. We can choose which one we would like to auto login with.     #1. Navigate to K2 Management.  #2. Open Authentication > Claims > Issuers.  #3. You will see a screen similar to this.        #4. Select which Issuer you would like to use and click Edit.   #5. Check the Use For Login and click ok.     Now this issuer will be default issuer we use for logging in to Smartforms. Â
Issue: How does one HIDE worklist actions using "Worklist" control on the form instead of "K2 Worklist" webpart in SharePoint?  Diagnoses: Hiding worklist actions can be done in the forms. Drag the 'Worklist' control and click the ellipses of 'Action Menu Items'. Uncheck the actions that you would like to hide and Save/Finish the form. Resolution: To "HIDE" the worklist actions, you will need to use the 'Worklist" control on your form instead of 'K2 worklist webpart' in your SharePoint. The following steps explain how to hide the actions using "Worklist" Control instead of using "K2 Worklist Webpart": - Select the form you would like to add the 'worklist' control.- Drag the 'worklist' control to your form.- Select the 'worklist' control and click the ellipses of 'Action Menu Items' under 'Properties'.- Uncheck the actions you would like to hide on the 'worklist' control and click OK.- Save/Finish the form.- Once you create the form, you can display it in SharePoint via "K2 Smartforms V

Hi, I have a General activity in workflow and in there i have a default client event and also a send email event. The send email event sends to a specific email address, but it is sending the email twice... Any reason why? In my destination rule i have it set to:All at onceSpecify slots 1Resolve all role and groups to users Destination Set:Ad.User.getusersbygrooup.name -> my AD Group My AD Group has two users in it, is that the reason why it's looping through the activity and there sending the EMAIL event twice as well (based on number of users)If it is, is there any way round this? Or would i need to move the Send Email out of that Activity all together? Thanks
