K2 blackpearl

Good afternoon, I am creating a dynamic servicebroker for a client to interact with Laserfiche.  They have several entities on the Laseriche side which has a FieldType of 'List' which can contain x number of items.  For example, Model may contain a list of car brands and year can contain a list of years.  Is it possible to preset these items to consumer of the 'smartobject' in the form of a drop down?  So Model is selected, display a drop down of available models?  

Hi, I'm using blackpearl 4.7 and was hoping I could get some direction on this project.  I have a very large document set in SP 2013 with thousands of Customer document sets, each with many customer contracts in them. This was a seperate project where we migrated these from a file share, and tagged them.  We have an external application written in .net that sends out emails to customers for varios reasons, the system is currently  able to browse to the file share and attach the appropriate contracts to the email and send them out. The email functionality has to stay within the .net app unfortunately, or at least for now. I need to somhow replicate this part so we can select the contracts from SP. We can pass in a key value or two to grab a subset of contracts and then would have to let the user select from the subset which contracts they need to be attached to the email. I'm kind of a blackpearl novice, at this point anyway. I have a .net developer that will modify the external system.

Is there a way to access activity instance information via the Client or Management APIs? All I can find is process instance info, which only references activites and not their instances. What I want to do is query a list of all activity instances given a process instance ID so I can call GotoActivity on any Waiting instances and pick up changes to the activity start time. I know you can get this information via the 'Activity Instance' smartobject that uses the 'Workflow Reporting Service', but I would rather use direct Client or Management API calls rather than redirect through the smartobject API if possible.

Hi,is there a way to use a rule to highlight/select a specific row in a List View? I know the ID of the item, but the "List Item Click" method doesn't have any input parameters and there is no "Set Focus" method. What I have is a List View which shows a summary of available items, and then an Item View which populates with the details of any item on the List View's double-click event, for updating. But I can also clear the item view and use its "Create" method to add new items. When I create a new item (and I get that items ID as a return value) I refresh the List View so my newly created item appears. But then I just want to select/highlight that new item. There are 2 reasonsthe user has a visible cue for which item is showing in the details section the Smart Object property can be referenced to get the selected items ID, instead of having to update a parameter and reference its value elsewhere.If I simply pass the ID to the Smart Object using the List method I will only get the one i

We currently use k2 in an iframe for CRM dynamics and it works very well.  Reports/forms open up in a new tab when clicked. We switched the main interface to the Dynamics Interactive Hub and the iframes no longer open new tabs when certain buttons are clicked. Loging a support, the MS engineers want to know the Javascript behind the k2 form which opens up new windows/tabs for support purposes.  I was wondering if anyone can help get what they are looking for?  or know a way to open new tabs in Dynamics Interactive hubs from a k2 iframe.

I am trying to take a simple approach to multiple file attachments in my process. I created a file attachment SO and an editable list view based on that SO so that I can add more than one attachment. Ive added this view to my form. I want to make sure that the list only shows the attachments associated with the current process. How do I filter the list of attachments to show only those associated with a particular process ID? There doesnt seem to be a way to associate the attachment with the process id when I execute a get list view method. Thanks Dave

Hello Everyone, I get this error when I try to deploy a K2 solution using K2 Package and Deployment Tool.

Hi, I have an expression on a Data lable which has some text in it, followed by a Hyperlink control, then some more text The Data label displays ok, but the Hyperlink is GREEN and underlined. I changed the colour to BLUE on the Hyperlink itself, but when you use the Hyerlink within an expression it go back to Green (green being the default K2 colour) Is there a way of formatting the Hperlink within the Expression? Can you add HTML within the Expression on the Smartform Data Label expression? Thanks

Hello, we are getting the Execution timeout error when we try to refresh the Workflow Reporting Service instance within the Smartobjects Tester:   We tried to set the commandtimeout key value in the K2HostServer configuration file to 60000, but that didn't help: <appSettings>    <add key="commandtimeout" value="60000" />                   ... </appSettings> Because of this error we can't create and view process reports or go to the process overview page in the K2 workspace.

I am trying to check a condition using IF inline function through context browser option. I searched every where online as well as on K2 forums, there is a no straight forward answer that I could find. I want to use context browser based if function. Please share on how to use IF function in K@ sharepoint workflow 

HI,I have been working with K2 Custom logging, and for now it works for BlackPearl Server. By example, if a SQL Database is offline, and i use Management to test an SmarObject connected to this database, the error is log into Blackpearl Custom Log (HostServerLOgging.config), but if i try to run the Form, the error is just show in the Client Bronwser. Is there some way to catch runtime or workflow errors into custom log? 

Hi everyone, I'm still quite new to Blackpearl - I've created workflows, deployed them, installed Blackpearl on servers, upgraded Blackpearl on some servers, all the basics.  Now I'm faced with something that is a bit mind boggling.  We are on a domain, use LDAP and users are authenticated using windows auth - this is the stuff I do not know much about.  One of our workflows now need to be exposed to an external company, they should be able to receive client event notification emails and should also be able to action those items.  The workflow will notify them that they have an item to action, the link would direct them to a page hosted internally (by us), they'd enter a few details, submit and that will then call the K2 API to continue to the next event  How on earth do I go about getting that set up, if it's even possible?  Would I just have to add their domain and LDAP details? Are there any other config file changes involved?  I apologise for my lack of knowledge regarding this but

Hi, I have  a from which is used by several users. Users would like to clone(replicate the data) of a form by clicking on a link... I was able to clone entire form -- means pre-populate the data in the new form based on the ID provided by the user. Only issue I have is, I have a section of the form where users can enter multiple rows it is like a list. How can I pre-populate that list with the data from the ID provided by the user???This list is stored in a separate table in the database. Any help would be appreciated! Regards,Bhanu

Hi all We have a number of fonts in the RTF control which are not required. We also need to add an additional one (which is on the K2 servers and user PCs).How / where can this be done? Thanks in advance

I like to see if there is a way to use K2 to report SMO performance in Views, Forms and Workflows to determine which is using more Memory/CPU Cycles and potentially affect the performance of the Application and the Server. Perpahs some application to monitor the performance of BlackPearl, Application Pool and the Applications running in order to determin whichone is taking more resources of the sytem. Dino

I am trying to modify the sample program which uses workflow to Approve or Reject a form for use in a new form. Is it possible to not get the workflow form, and instead add rules to the form to use new fields at the bottom of the form and then submit an approval? I have looked at the example dated 5/8/2012, but do not understand the example. Thanks!

Hello again guys. I was wondering if it's possible to add two more columns to the "Activity Instances  Grid" controller... I need to view the user that is participating in the task and the "View Flow" option... Is that possible? How can I do it?    Thanks in advance

Hello All, How can I get drop down list of unique managers with their display name as display in one of my view.  I am able to get list of managers from GetUsers AD smart object but it shows duplicate names. Does any one know how to get unique list or know of any other better way. I basically want to show users dropdown list of all the supervisor in my form. Thank you 

I posted on this forum before but I don't think I got my point across.  I want to have a form that has two tabs 1 is connected to a report smartobject that will take in information and store in the database. The second tab will also be connected to a separate smartobject that will take in information about an individual  (1 - 4 separate tabs). I am able to get the information to be stored in the SQL database for both smartobjects but when the task is sent to the manager for approval only the information on the first tab(the report) shows and I would like them both to show. I have it set up so the manager can see the item view for the tabs. I made it so the report can have many individuals and the individual can only have one report associated to it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello Community, like you can see in the title I have a problem with a Composite SmartObject. The SmartObject is created out of 2 SharePoint Lists and the K2-Designer. It works and I see my entries but I'm not able to set a filter on the ID or a other field and the paging doesn't work too.I see that the View creates a couple of sites but when I click on "Next Page" nothing happens. Does anyone have a Idea what the problem could be? Kind Regards Alexander

I'm trying to create a PDF snapshot in the middle of a workflow (at a midpoint user approval task) rather than the beginning. I'm following the steps in this article: https://help.k2.com/kb001394 All the examples I've found, including this article, seem to assume the Save As PDF is run before the workflow starts. I'm wondering if this is part of my problem. I'm saving the PDF reference as a Form Parameter during a User Task, using the After the Workflow action was submitted event in the Form Rules, Workflow Task state. I execute the Save As PDF control's Save PDF method, then transfer data with the control feeding a Form Parameter called PDF ID. This Parameter is linked to a Data Field in the workflow called PDF ID. But best I can tell this workflow data field always contains "0", it doesn't seem to be getting updated. Will the workflow pick up a change in the Form Parameter within that linked Data Field in the middle of a workflow, or does this only work if the Parameter is set before
