Hi When my form is converted to a PDF, it adds a blank page at the end.  It's a small form and all the content is shown on the first page.  Any ideas on how I can remove this blank page?

We are migrating our on-prem K2 servers (Blackpearl) to an AWS Amazon Managed Services (AMS) data center. What options are available for continuously updating the new destination K2 database (the migrated K2 proprietary SQL Server database) with source (on-prem) SQL Server K2 database, transactions from the time period between the new PROD destination environment being restored (and reconfigured), through the crossover to the new PROD go-live environment in AWS? Are there existing continuous replication utilities available? AWS has an 'Ongoing Replication' product for AWS RDS SQL Server databases using AWS Database Migration Service (AWS DMS) described here: Introducing Ongoing Replication from Amazon RDS for SQL Server Using AWS Database Migration Service ...  .....Has anyone used this tool or others like it?

I need to connect ASP.Net Core application to K2 Blackpearl. I tried the nuget package K2.Workflow.Client but it throws a BadImage error. It seems the package works with .Net but not .Net Core. Could I know if there is an equivalent package for .Net Core.

Hi, I need to set the Text Area to accept a Word count as follows:Minimum Words: 1000Maximum Words: 2000 Is there a way to set this up on a Text Area? If so, can the word count also be displayed alongside the TextArea so the user knows how many words they have written so far? Thanks

Hello, currently we have a K2 workflow that is currently emailing the results from the workflow.  We would like to disable that portion of the code and rather than email creates a flat file with the same results and place it on the network share drive.   Any help would be greatly appricated. 

Hi, When I attempt to open "View Flow" link from "Management Console > Workflow Server > Workflows > Reports > View Flow" The URL I get redirected to is below which works.https://forms.usd.edu/Designer/K2Workflow/Viewflow.aspx?procInstId=932 I can take that URL and replace the ending number with that pulled from the first URL to get the ViewFlow to work. I'm assuming I have a configuration somewhere incorrect, but can't be sure where it is. Any advice is appreciated, Thanks

HI,I am creating an endpoint service broker using VS2010 to integrate with the Microsoft Dynamics GP eConnect with the Smartform using the Smartobject. When I try to build a project, I am getting the following error.

While having an issue where one user couldn't see workflow tasks, I followed the steps in the forum post:User unable to see worklist tasks   This required adding the domain or everyone into the security settings of our environment.  After rebooting the server, I no longer have access to the environment page and all users are reporting errors.  I'd like to undo the settings to see if this would correct the issue, but I can't figure how to get to that setting to change it. 

I am trying to get a spinner from a div and script using two literal data labels (Spinner works when i closk start button and close when i click close button)  div I used  <div id="wait" style="display:none;width:69px;height:89px;position:absolute;top:50%;left:50%;padding:2px;"><img src='/Runtime/Styles/Themes/Lithium/RuntimeTheme/*personal details removed*' width="64" height="64" /><br>Loading..</div> To Show:  <script>$("#wait").css("display", "block");</script> To hide: <script>$("#wait").css("display", "none");</script> Everything works well if there are item views or normal list views in the form. But when I put an editable list view to the same form the code doesnt works?? or it doesnt show the spinner.  please refer the attached. Thanks Any Idea why?? Thanks 

Does anyone know where I can find the K2 Compatibility Support Matrix (used to be available at: https://help.k2.com/k2compatibilitysupportmatrix )We need a document to confirm that we are currently on 4.7, as when we check all programs it does not list 4.7 as the version but instead has 4.16060.2000.x 

Is .NET core supported or not for using k2 black pearl  4.7 API ?Is it possible to make integration between k2 black pearl 4.7 and .NET core for using K2 black pearl 4.7 assemblies and API from a .NET core Application ?

A have a user From ( version 4.7) which includes the Show Message to User action. When the user message presents the date is in reverse order i.e. Year - Month - Day. Does anybody know how to to correct this show the date present as Day - Month - Year . RegardsAndrew

I would like to be able to stack some fields in a list view column.  I.E. have one control above another control within the same column in the same row.  Is this possible?

I have been testing this today, and I have a small form that I am testing sending emails with.First I render a small piece of HTML on a Rich Text Field, and then I transfer the raw HTML to a textarea to analyze it.Something like:<span><br>test1<br>test2<br>test3<br>test4</span>The rendered HTML looks fine, and the code in the textarea look fine. When I email it though and Outlook receives it, every <br> is doubled, so the content is now: <span><br><br>test1<br><br>test2<br><br>test3<br><br>test4</span>which of course renders with an extra line break. At first I thought it was outlook but the more I look into it, it seems that K2 sends it that way. Has anyone had this problem?

Hello All, Where can I officially submit feature requests? I don't see that as an option on the support request form (where you'd normally see it?). Does K2 NOT accept feature requests?  Do I have to submit them as Support tickets? Thanks,-tomas

 Has anyone found a clever way (via javascript etc) of hiding the approval actions from the drop down options selector on the Worklist webpart? We show users their list of tasks to action but we want them 'Always' to open the form to view it first before selecting 'approval etc' but users keep accidentally selecting the approval options from the dropdown 'before' opening the form and that closes the worklist item and so thisis causing a major issue in us being able to use tasks inside a workflow. I have out the webpart into a view so that I can customise it but there are no options for deselcting these options :-(      

hi. this should be a quick one. on this kb page, https://help.k2.com/kb001421 it is mentioned that k2 4.7 has build number 4.12060.2000.x whereas in this page, https://help.k2.com/k2compatibilitysupportmatrix it says K2 blackpearl 4.7 (includes K2 for SharePoint) 4.16060.2000.x can someone please explain why these build numbers are different? it is somehow related to application type? or is it in fact a typo? thanks.

Hi, I'm seeing issues with our SmartObject tester in K2 5+, I want to install a FileService broker, but our PROD version is acting up. Environments:DEV - 4.7PROD - A Clean install of 4.7 then upgraded to 5+.  DEV - 4.7 No issues Any ideas? This SmartObject tester is on my local machine which was installed with 4.7 as a side note. Thanks, 

  Using the answer from the post above; if I have a process escaltion that uses a go to activity outcome, where does the line go? I need this escaltion to kick in at the process level. For me this does not require a line because literally any activity could be hosting the workflow at the time of escaltion. In this instance do I just draw a line from "Start" activity or do I do a line from each activity to the failure activity? Thanks in advance

I have a department that want to require all their forms be completed using ALL CAPS. Is there something that I'm missing in the Styles properties o the view to make this happen? Thanks!

Hi. Does anyone have a strategy for deleting the temporary files in the AppData-folder? We've currently passed 5GB, and the folder was emptied out a little over a year ago.I'm pretty confident deleting the files doesn't cause any harm, but does anyone have any input on this? Thanks   

Hello,  We are currently running K2 Blackpearl 4.6.11 and run our database on Oracle. We have an existing eform which captures employees driving license details. I have a request in asking if it would be possible to send employees a follow up email 1 year after the approval date to review their details.  My query is would this be possible?  As the efrom has been approved it would be in the state of complete and the workflow actions would be finished.  I would be grateful for any help or assistance.  Regards,Niall
