There are a couple of ways to assign Workflow Start Rights to everyone. The best is to use the Everyone or Domain Users group depending on if the users are in AD or SharePoint. If you want some users to not be have the permissions, simply create a new group and populate it with all the users you would like to have the start permissions. In the Workflow Designer simply add that group to the Process Rights page and give them the necessary rights.      

How to write site workflow in K2 blackpearl

Hello, I am working in K2 Studio.  I have a SmartObject created from a C# webservice function. We'll call the SmartObject "SO_GetList".   I'm simplifying things a bit here, but the webservice function goes something like this: public List<MyListObject> GetList(string code, string description){...do some work here and return a list of MyListObject...}There are two parameters, "code" and "description".  Either one can be an empty string and the function will still work.  Each one just provides some filtering if needed. In the SmartObject Tester, I'm able to execute the List method of this "SO_GetList" smartobject by either supplying a value for "code" and "description", or just supplying a value for "code" and entering "scnull" for "description.  It all works as expected.  I could even supply "scnull" for both "code" and "description" and it would still run.  Perfect. However, in K2 Studio, this is not working at all.  Over on the left under Object Browser, I've created a Reference

Hi all, i want to attach image for my item list view.I set my property of item image to "Image" in smartobject.When save, the image will be saved to database as <file><name>___</name><content>___</content></file>.After i save, the list will be refreshed and the image cannot be load properly. This is what i want to display in list view. Another ways is i set the property of item image to "memo" datatype.The save value is the xml link of k2 temporary files path. i had tried, if the control in the list is image file control and the return path is xml link of k2 temporary file path, the image will be shown properly.When everytime i change the property of item image to "memo", the control in list will be changed to memo. Any idea how to make this thing work? Thanks & Regards,Kyo 

We created smartobject and workflow through K2 application with in sharepoint. We have a multilevel approval workflow. In first level, we are taking approval from Employee Manager. In second level, we are taking approval from Director. We have created a smartobject AD user that has two methods Get Users and Get User Details. First level of approval is working fine. But for second level of approval, we need to access smartobject AD User. I added a user task component in my workflow. However, in context browser of User task Participant window, I don't see AD Users under smartobjects (please see the attachment 'missingSmartobject'). Even though when I was creating smartobject, I clicked the box 'Allow this smartobject to be used in Workflows'. Can someone please help us how can we add AD User smartobject under SmartObjects of Context Browser?

I have a workflow with the functionality of updating the status as "Submitted" and after that I'm placing a user task for the approval process. Once the approval process is complete again I'm updating the status to "Approved" or "Rejected" based on the action selected by the user. In this process, my workflow responds as mentioned above. But, it doesn't stops as the status approved / reject is updated. Instead, it continues to submit again the status gets changed to "Submitted" and the items modified time gets changed for every minute meaning that the workflow is updated continously.

I'm very confused at the moment as to how the Picker Control works. From what I can tell, it resolves by selecting ALL records from a table, then filters it down. This is very inefficient with large tables. I have a stored procedure that accepts search text and can return the results within seconds. How do I configure the picker to use this stored procedure? The stored procedure has 1 required input property named "searchText" and all of the output properties of the table we're trying to pick from. Is there some other control I should be using if the picker control just can't handle large tables?

When using Active Directory with Windows Authentication in K2, a manager can view an employee's worklist as long as the proper org structure is added into AD (i.e. the 'manager' property is populated for all users).  For example:  Bob is the manager for Anthony and Blake; in AD boh Anthony and Blake are configured with Bob as the manager.  Bob can go into K2 Workspace and see his own, Anthony's or Blake's worklist.  This functionallity is built-in to K2. Now, if we switch to using SAML claims and ADFS for authentication, things get a bit trickier.  First of all, I would need to configure ADFS to pass the manager information in the SAML token using some claim type I invent.  No problem.  The particular value I pass in the claim would have to match the type of data I expect to use in the identity claim.  For example:  If I decide to use email address fo the identity claim of a user, I would likely need to configure the manager claim to pass the manager's email address (not their AD logon

Hello, I've some performance issues during the authentication. SmartFrom are running fast, but authentication (redirect to [...]Identity/sts/Windows/wsfed?wa=wsignin1.0) after entering user name and password is very slow. Thanks in advance for help,arnam

Hello, Using K2 SmartForms with the out-of-the-box STS provider login form. I can made basic changes to the layout of the login window by customising the file at this location:C:Program Files (x86)K2 blackpearlWebServicesIdentityStsFormsViewsAccountLogIn.cshtml. I would like to know whether there is any official word on whether this is a valid/supported customisation? I don't want to leave my K2 server in a state where it has been 'incorrectly' modified. I can't find any documentation which confirms this one way or the other. Thanks all for any help

We use K2 SmartForms, and the form has more than 1 Views.Say I have 2 Views, and View 1 has 3 text boxes (their Tab Index  are: 1,2 and 3), and View 2 has 2 text boxes. (their Tab Index  are: 1 and 2).When I am on View 1 Text Box 1 and click Tab, instead of going to View 1 Text Box 1, it jumps to View 2 Text Box 1.Then, when I click Tab on View 2 Text Box 1, it jumps to View 1 Text Box 2.Etc. Do you know why it does jumps from View 1 to View 2, back to View 1, then to View 2, then to View 1, etc. ?How can I fix this issue ? When clicking Tab on View 1, I would like to go to the next Tab Index on View 1, and only go to View 2 when I am on the last field on View 1. Thank you.

HI, one of my activites destination is set to Process Originator FQN. When I configure OOO tasks of this activity are not forwarded, but others are.

Hi I have added a toolbar button to a smartform on a sharepoint site but need to have it hidden based on certain users permissions. I have created a sharepoint list where I will add these users that can access the button. I have not found a way that I can check through the SMO if the user is in the permissions list or not based on the current user setting.Can someone please point me in the direction? Thanks!

In K2 SmartForms we have a table.How can I multi select multiple rows in the table ?Thank you.

In K2, programmatically, is it possible to execute an action inside an activity without going into that activity itself ?For example, in our workflow we have activity A.If I go to that activity and click on the “Complete” action, and click Submit, it will go to the next activity B.Is it possible to execute the “Complete” action on activity A without going to activity A ? In other words, bypass activity A, but execute the "Compelte" action to go to the next activity B.Thank you.

So I have a Form that like to have in English, Portuguese and Spanish. What is the recommendation to build in multiple lang. Have Duplicity in the Views & Forms to display the desired lang based on Params ? Create another SMO for the Translation and refresh the Data Label once the Values Changed for the elements of the Form ? Just wondering what are the community recomendations.... Obrigado Dino.
