Does the 'Activity Instance Overdue' column on the Worklist control take into account working hours?  I have an activity with the expected duration set.  Working hours is 8-5 m-f ( so 9 hour work day), so the expected duration is set to 9 hours.  The worklist activity has a start date of 12:44pm yesterday and it was 10:14 am when I checked the workflow and it shows overdue.  It doesnt seem to take into account working hours. Are there any other views / reports / controls that display Activity Instance Overdue which does take into account working hours? 

I'd like to display/print the common name of the form, along with the version number and the last date modified at the bottom of my smart form.  Is that possible?

Anybody know what logic determines this "Restart Pending" warning when you run any of the setup installers?  I don't get it.  I get this message immediately after restarting, even on my own PC.  I don't have any scheduling on my PC for restarts so I don't get what is causing this.  We get it on our servers too.  It's really annoying because at the end of the setup during the configuration analysis you get another message that says you should restart and run the analysis again after. 

We have two environment dev and test. There are some smartobjects in dev that we want to move to test, however during deployment smartobject shows conflict and mismatch in guid. I updated guid from smartobject tester and guid looks same. But still during deployment it shows guid mismatch. I tried creating new smartobject with same system name and guid but it always shows conflict and doesn’t give any option to use new version . Smartobject conflict doesn’t let us proceed with deployment.

I see where you can easily set a max character cound in a field but have to use a regular expression to set a minimum. So far I have only been able to create exact character cound with an expression. I need one that will set a minimum of 1 character. Can anyone lend a hand? Thanks Dave

I am trying to hide/show columns in a list view based on the value of the first item in the list. Example, if the item exists then I want the user to be able to use a picker to select the item, if the item doesnt exist I want them to enter free text. I have set up a rule 'If exists contains True, then show the picker' however when I click the checkbox the row closes and I have to go back and click edit for the row to appear again. Is there anyway to change this that when the checkbox is clicked the picker automatically appears without the row closing?

I have a process where I check email for attachements. move attachements to file share and someone else has written an access database that processes and imports the files. I would like to call either a batch to run this or directly call the access db from a command line. Just an execatutable with an argument sames as the batch file. It is too difficult to try and rewrite this access process does anyone know a way to do this. Ansy help greatly appreciated.

Hello, When deploying a K2 package using powershell script, I get the following error for workflow deloyment in the package, "A database error occurred : Connection Timeout Expired.The timeout period elapsed during the post-login phase.The connection could have timed out while waiting for serverto complete the login process and respond; Or it could havetimed out while attempting to create multiple active connections.The duration spent while attempting to connect to this server was-[Pre-Login] initialization=7; handshake=5; [Login] initialization=0;authentication=1; [Post-Login] complete=14709;" So, I have to redeploy the package again such that the workflow get deployed. Is there anyway to overcome this timeout error?

Hi, We have an authentication issue with our K2 Mobile app (from iOS app store) and our Windows domain Active directory. When we sign in to the environment with user credentials if the password is incorrectly entered their active directory account is immediately locked. Our domain is setup to lock accounts after 3 attempts but it appears that K2 Mobile is somehow triggering the lock out after just one. We are using an mobile device management system (mobile Iron), LDAP to connect to Active Directory, K2 Mobile (from app store), an VPN tunnel to connect managed devices to our internal K2 Black Pearl instance (V4.7) Regards,Michael

Hi. I have a situation where I have two workflows. One is the master, and that is the Approval Workflow that goes through multiple approval processes, and confirms back to the Project Manager when all approvals are completed. I have another workflow, which is the "Design stakeholder" approvals. This workflow has a number of steps required by the Approval Stakeholders to complete. While the Approval Workflow relies on the Design Stakeholders, they are seperate tasks because there is no way to know how many approvals are required at design, and they are created dynamically based on selection - which could happen at any stage. So each stakeholder has their own task that goes through that Designer Stakeholder workflow. The part that I am getting stuck on is I want the Designer Stakeholder workflow to call back to the Approval Workflow to execute a "Event" and change a Data Field "Run Check" to True. The Event I want to be run on the Approval Workflow will check the database to make sure th

Hi, How to write a CSS class that target the Text Area control when I make a new K2 theme?? Thanks in Advance,Abdelfattah Hussein.

Hi Guys, I have a Smartbox SmartObject with two date columns. And I have a Smartform with a view generated using this smart object. When we submit the form, we are getting an error which says "String was not recognized as a valid". We are calling a create method on the smartobject when the submit button is clicked. I am kind of blocked with this issue and couldnt take it forward. I've seen similar issue posted in the thread but without the resolution here in the community. Please help me! P.S. We are using Denallix VM with K2 Blackpearl 4.7. Thanks In Advance! Subee CCTS

I just want to report on K2 data, why is it so hard? :) Had to abandon composite SmartObjects due to their poor design of retrieving all data first before applying filters, causing major performance issues.  But we're not supposed to query the K2 database directly.  So how the heck are we supposed to build reports on K2 data?  What am I missing? For example, I have some requirements now to build a report on all submitted form data, and I also want to report on their workflows.  For example, "Start Date" and "Finish Date" of the Process Instance is available in the K2 database, albeit in different tables.  I despite the idea of adding steps in my workflows to manually populate this data when I know it resides in the K2 database.  Surely there must be some way?

I have a scenario , where there is a form with two buttons: Mail and Submit which is actioned based on the client event.-Mail is not a mandatory action.-Submit is mandatory. 1. When action= "Mail", an e-mail notification will be sent.[Rule: Action "Mail" will update the workitem]2. When action= "Submit", the client event will be completed.[Rule: Action "Submit" will action the workitem]  The issue is when the Mail activity is actioned, the mail event is not fired. This is fired only after the Submit is actioned.Until and unless the client event is active , the mail is not triggered. Only after the client activity is completed, the flow is moving to the succeceding activity. Alternative: The mail can be using rule in form. Just wanted to know if this is possible through workflow.Any suggestion would be appreciated.

Hi, I know from some post (its link is below) in this community that the CSS class for the normal Label control is "SFC SourceCode-Forms-Controls-Web-Label", please, I need to know the CSS class for the DataLabel, and how can I change its direction to be Right-To-Left? The post that told me the normal Label CSS class is:http://community.k2.com/t5/K2-blackpearl/Reusable-Styling/m-p/96292#M31108 Thanks,

Hi all, Just something i'll be looking at on the horizon is outputting a form request in XML format so that it can be used by other systems to be imported, anyone done this?So once a form is submitted and processed via a K2 Studio Workflow (or even within K2 Designer), can you output relevant fields to an XML file? I've never touched XML, so just wondering if this is at least possible Thanks,

Hi, Anyone got any ideas about this plz? Had a previously working Endpoint WCF Service added using HTTP, but the server it runs on has recently been changed and is now running on HTTPS. So i naturally went into the tester tool and edited the instance. I changed the Service Endpoint URL - required to Https, but when i do next and UPDATE, i get an erros saying "Service Endpoint does not exist".... If i browse to the URL is comes up fine, so i know the server and service can be reached. So why is the tester tool not allowing me to use HTTPS? Thanks
