K2 blackpearl

I am working on a workflow that will provide an office with an item view of a change that needs to be made.  I have created the parameter in K2 Designer on the form.  In K2 Studio for the workflow, where do I find the field to pull in to the value for the form parameter?

Hello guys! I was wondering if there's a way to create or modify the value from the "System Values" Labels that k2 brings for default in the web designer.I'm asking because I want to modify the value of the "Current Time" label, wich by default is "16:55:03.123" and i want it to be something like "*personal details removed*"Is it possible?Thanks in advance 

also, cannot download attahcment using android app.Any help?

Hello everyone, Please what are the general maintenance practices for K2 environment? 

Hi, When a record is saved in an Editable List, the record is saved but was adding a new row automatically. (list view with edit multiple rows) I use a Rule which says "Cancel the changes made to the row on the editable list" to cancel out this new row, but now the row is not selected.But then my problem is that if the user clicks save again, my validation rules say the fields are empty (because no row is selected) How can i use rules to select the last row after my "cancel the changes action" in an editable list? Is it possible with jquery to select a row? Thanks

Workflows created  with a custom Task or a regular Task, while they send the notification via email, they are not adding a new task to the Sharepoint task list. This is happening in different sites in the entire web application. Also, the link to the task (sent via email)  has the following message: "Sharepoint Task Page not available." not sure if this is related to the tasks not being created though.  

Hi, I want to move existing instances running on the old version of the workflow into the new instances, can someone please help and guide as to how I can do this. I need to provide feeback to management ASAP as to wheher it is possible or not not and what are the risks associated with it. Thanks,Zipho

I have a form with 2 views.  1 view is a list, the user clicks on a record in the list and it opens the items view.  The items view pulls in some data from the list view but the user is to enter specific data for 2 other fields.  I do not want these fields saved back to the database but I do want them to display in the email notification.  I can get the items from the list view to display in the email, just not the 2 fields they fill in. What am I missing?

Hi there.  My K2 solutions are onces that (until I get something better designed) use the Excel Import Service broker extensively.  For those of you that also use it, can you help me confirm a few things that I have come to realize about the broker and/or add any of your best practices.  #1 - Column headers in the Excel must match EXACTLY to the column name in the Smart Object you're importing to....right? #2 - You need to avoid certain special characters in your column headers such as : and - or those columns won't pull in, right? #3 - When importing Date/Time columns, any blanks in your data source must be filled in (such as with 1/1/1999) or the broker will error out   For those of you code junkies out there...I am wondering how difficult it would be to alter the source code to have it pull in the data by column number instead of column name..it seems as though that might make it work a bit easier and more consistently.  Thoughts? Overall, the service broker is invaluable...but just

I have a drop-down list in a form that I put a couple of dummy entries in just to test awhile ago and just now came back to it. I cannot figure out where I put those 2 items so I can correct them and add more. I typed in the 2 values of "a1" and "a2" somewhere and now I need to edit them, but I cannot figure out where they are. Can anyone point me in the right direction?Thanks,Mark  

Hi all, I gave some feedback to K2 to provide a section on this forum for Jquery / Javascripts which work specifically in K2, but nothing has happened. So I would like to propose this Post for everyone to add their Jquery/Javascripts. This could go a long way in us K2ers helping each other with scripts which give us that extra functionality that isn't quite there in K2. When googling scripts, they don't always work in K2, so if we post scripts that work 100%, this would help a lot of us out. Rather than comments (create your own post about it) if we can keep this thread strictly as scripts and an explanation only, it would create less clutter. Not sure if its possible, but could the mods make this a Sticky on the forum? All the best  

Is there a way (javascript) which I can add border around the cell in the K2 design form. I amd using this script, it add the border around the table but not to the cell<script type="text/javascript">$(document).ready(function() {$("span[name='DepartmentValue']").closest('table').css({'border':'black 1px solid', 'background':'#56FFFF'});})</script> Thanks,

Issue while starting the K2 Blaclpearl service, its moving to "Starting" status instead of "Running" status. Even though the service is showing as “Starting” all the functionalities are working as expected.  To see exact problem when K2 service started in console mode. To troubleshoot further, stopped the K2 service and ran the service in console mode to trace the error  Verified the Host Server logs while running on console mode and noticed below errors "212960218","20*personal details removed*:43:29","Error","System","2001","ServerStartError","SourceCode.Hosting.Server.Runtime.HostServerEngine.StartHostServer","2001 Error Starting Host Server: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.","system"," "212959820","20*personal details removed*:43:27","Error","General","0","ErrorMessage","SourceCode.Security.Providers.AzureActiveDirectory.SecurityProvider: Init()","0 Unable to find OAuthResourceAudience element from init xml.","anonymous","0.0.0.0", 06:43:28","Error","Security",

Hello, we are facing an k2 for sharepoint app deployment error . Here is the error. Does anyone have any idea ?       

For a given Process Instance, is there a query or an out of the box K2 Procedure that will return the Action information for a given Process, Activity, or Event Instance? I've tried poking around a bit in the tables and looking through the list of Stored Procs but nothing jumps out at me. Any clues? Thank you.

Hi, I'm training on K2 Smartforms and I have a issue. I only have 6 steps left to complete this training. The image 1 shows the exercise guide walkthough. It says to create a package with the Sales Order forms, etc., created during the training, then says to deploy the package after creatig new versions for each view and then deploy it again configuring a Password for the Sales Orders Service Instance, however, as seem on images 2 and 3 when I double click or right click the Password line, the Edit Value option is not displayed and I cannot deploy the package because the login fails. What should I do? Is this a bug or something wrong that I've done?  

Hi,We have a smartobject that calls a web service, and it returns an xml string.We want to extract some values from the xml and transfer it to a variable.We use the Data Event to "Transfer Data" , source is the xml node , and the destination is our variable.We noticed that it does transfer only an attribute and not the node data.For example if we have an xml node <Node1>Value</Node1> , it won't transfer "Value" to the variable. However, if we have a node <Node1 Parameter1='Value'></Node1> , in this case we are able to get "Value" transferred to the variable.Question is, how do we get the value of the specific node that doesn't have an attribute?Thanks.

Is there any action in K2 workflow to terminate same or other workflows running on the list.

Hey guys,  The scenario is, I need to implement a workflow where the destination is multiple groups, all the groups should receive the task concurrently and the number of  groups varies dynamically depending on the request, if a single user acts in  a group , task should disappear in other users of the groups. The  task is completed only when all the group act on the task .how to implement this in k2 work flow?  any ideas? 

HI I have created smart object and generated smart form for List View Type. Enable List Editing is selected but options to edit and remove rows are greyed out. Please see attached.Can anyone explain why this is? ThanksLena

So here is the scenario Guys...  I know a List can Add Edit Records.. however for the purpose of this test... like open a SubView... let the user enter and key much more values and on click update the List form the Main Form. The problem was there are 2 kinds of classes on the views the ReadWrite and the ReaOnly and you should treat different when passing data from an Item View or Item SubView to a list depending of the case. So for the purpose of this test... created a List with Category[ text box field ] and Attachment Field.Created 2 Lists one is read write from default K2. the other is only Read Only without the ability to edit. Created a Form to render both Views and add a button when Onclick open a Item SubView to enter the same data.... The actions are listed here and basically: on the Read Write you must [ Add Row, Transfer Data, Apply the Changes ]on the Read Only you must [ Add Row, Edit Row, Transfer Data, Apply the Changes ]     Not sure why should be different but that is

Hi Guys,I am looking for some best practice smartform layout design for CRUD operation in a form. Lets say VendorContact.

Hi In one of my projects, if I take a Checked In view and choose Save As and give it a new name - I invariably get the message 'The view xxx has dependency errors. For more information edit the view' and the new view cannot be checked in. No matter what I then do the view refuses to be checked in - ie I check the rules, layout, fields etc etc and everything seems fine (no red alerts) and, in fact, I can even clear all controls and data objects and I still get the same. Does anyone know how to diagnose the bug? Note that I have also tried modifying the K2 environment using a web.config switch to enable the UI to allow a 'forced' check in and then using the package and deployment manager to give better info but the subsequent object packages and deploys without error. I'm loathe to just delete the form and have to start again from fresh as this has happened repeatedly for several views. Clearly there's a corruption somewhere but I cannot pin point it. Any advice much appreciated. Thanks

I am creating a Report connected to a smartobject and I want to have a tab that is connected to a User(smartobject). I am looking to find out how I would connect both of these for a managers approval in a workflow. I tried looking at a composite smartobject but I am very new to K2. Any help would be greatly apprecaited. Thanks, Pob
