Workflow can be started from Form (working o.k.) and from other process (IPC call), which is cousing errors. The difference is only that when it is started from IPC, SP Item must be first created. New SP Item is created inside this WorkFlow, since it doesn't exist yet. Error is throw when Data Event tries to get values from SP Item. I thing that WorkFlow doesn't know Item reference to this newly created Item (method GetListItem fails). Already in previus activity, where I send task to user per email WorkList hyperlink is blank. The task is created in WorkList ... Again: WorkFlow runs correctly when it's called from FOrm (Item created before WorkFlow start). Should I somehow create reference with ID, which should be passed from Form (after Item was created) to WorkFlow? I appriciate for any TIPS & TRICKS ... The WorkFlow has error 28083 in Data Event. Error description is: 28083 ServerEvent: A list can only be used in an expression if it contains exactly one value. Server stack tr

This post is something of a rant and also a general hope that someone may be familiar with this situation... We have a very complex form that has a lot of rules that run when the submit button is clicked. And sometimes these rules are running and the user is receiving absolutely no feedback. Like I'll see a spinner, then it'll disappear and it'll return back to the form but it's still running rules because it'll flicker and maybe the spinner will come back, and this behaviour will continue until finally it submits and gets to the last two rules which is showing the user a confirmation message and closing the page/redirecting them to another page. This is a huge pain in the butt, because if the user is on a slow computer or on a slow network connection, they may not realise the form is still "doing stuff" and just close the page. Disabling the submit button only stops them from trying to submit it again. I can't do anything to stop them from closing the page or clicking a bookmark w
Hi, Just having a dabble with form states. I created a state, use that in my task URL and it loads fine. However, I want to edit the rules in this new state, the load rule using a different paramater for example, but it seems that you can only disable/enable the copied rules from the original state, why can't you edit them? I know you can add new rules to the state, but why can't you edit them? Thanks
I've created an offline form and it is accessible offline on iOS and Android (tested and functional), but not on a Windows surface. After some searching I found a list of release notes for the K2 app on the 3 platforms, but the Windows release notes doesn't mention offline forms availability like the othe release notes do. HERE Are offline forms not available on the Windows surface app? Thanks!

Hi, Is it possible to select a group from Active Directory using a picker? We have a form and in some instances we may need to assign a task to a group rather than one individual (then one user in the group completes the task). The group is already set up in Active Directory but it doesnt appear in the list when we search.Thanks.

Hi, Is it possible to do this with an advanced rule on the form? form validation doesn't seem to work on a list view, a data field has a pattern (Whole numbers), but if a user enters a alaphanumeric and clicks submits, it allows the user to submit, but you get k2 type error boxes. Is it possible to say that when the user clicks submit, use a rule to check textbox contents to see if its is NOT Numbers, if so, then stop?

Hi there,Im using the k2 workflow Client and Management API to retrieve some data to my website.My k2 version is 4.7We are having performance problems with the global worklist in the Management API.We currently have about 3500 active process instances in a total of 30000+ instances.I don't see pagination options to retrieve the worklist and we only show a maximum of 40 record at the a time(pagination) and we nee the processdata for those records.Is there any other option to improve the performance? What is the best practice?Is there a way to backup and delete the completed instances?Thanks,Bernardo
Hello all I have a form and on my form is a list view. The view retrieves data about the logged-in user and displays it.The data is stored in a SQL database, which is exposed via a standard SQL broker SmartObject to K2. I need to ensure that users cannot view each other's data. This means being careful with use of Form and View parameters which can easily be modified by the user via the querystring. So I ensure my SmartObject 'List' method takes username as a parameter, and set the value when the method is called in my form's Initialize rule by dragging 'Current User/FQN' into the appropriate Input Property. Inspecting the traffic which occurs when the form loads, I see a call to AjaxCall.ashx which contains an XML request payload containing my username. If I use a tool like Fiddler to manipulate this request payload, by changing the username I can then request the data for any user. I'm sure I must be missing something here, but how should I make this setup fully secure against malici

My workflows have a "Read Only" version of the form which can be viewed at anypoint during the process instance to see the current status of it. I usually use data label controls so they can expand and wrap text easily to fit all the contents of the field (and are printer friendly!). The problem is this can visually look bad if you have a lot of fields in a tight table, especially if you have lots of optional fields that can be blank - then it's just empty space. I thought an easy fix would be to add borders, but it seems that blank data labels get compressed. Here's a sample of a populated data label and a blank one. Any suggestions how to make this look better? Right now my only idea is to make an expression for every optional field to check if it's blank and if so, add a single space just so the box size will be the same as the populated ones... I'm hoping somebody else has a better idea.

Ok, I created a test form and workflow, left the K2 studio workflow as Client Event (NOT Smartforms Client event).in the Client Event notification to the authoriser, there is a standard worklist item link (which is the form url+SerialNo Back on the form, i've added a paramater called SN Authoriser gets the email, they open the formOn the form, i've added a view with a radio button list which says approve, decline Authoriser picks an option, hits a submit button which has a rule attached this says the below (in bold) When approve button is clicked. Then action the Defaultactivity worklist item: The workflow then appears to move onto the next step, which seems fine. My question is, would this Client Event work ok for approving requests, rather than using the "Smartforms Client Event"? Is there anything that i've missed that needs to be done for authorising the request which must be done using a Smartforms Client Event? Thanks
