AddToGroups Error

Hello, New to the k2 partner program.  I know there is a "New Distribution List" workflow that can be downloaded, but I wanted to tackle this myself by building out the smartobjects, views and forms.   I'm getting this error when I select a user and click 'AddToGroups' ---The specified domain does not exist or cannot be contacted.

How to avoid nested If conditions

Hi, I am still learning K2, I would ideally like to nest If conditions within a Smart Form. I want to avoid using a workflow. My first If statement is essential - it's validation. If the form passes validation then up to 10 items are executed. Two of which are dependant on there being values in textboxes:A create method which adds a row into the database. An update Active Directory update method.I don't have any real control over the methods in terms of handling errors, etc, if the textboxes are empty. Consequently the form returns an error if either one is empty. I was wondering what options I have and if there are any tricks to get round this. I tried passing in "ZZZZZZZ" as a username but there is an error because the user doesn't exist. I'm frustrated! Thanks

How to get URL from a site reference?

1. Created a subsite using "Create Subsite" workflow step.2. In above step, also created site reference.3. Once site has been created, I want to send URL of recently created site to some users via email. How can I get URL of recently created site? I was hoping since I have site reference for recently created site, there should be some inline function that will give me URL using site reference. But couldn't find any.Thank you!

Append text to filename in file attachment control

Hello, We have a file attachment control in smart form which allows multiple attachments. That control uses sharepoint list for storing files. The issue is if some user uploads a file (abc.txt) to the list and some other user tries to upload a file with same name, it is overwriting the previous version of file. Is there any way, we can resovle this issue by appending unique identifier before uploading the file, either in smartobject or rules level. Note: We do not want to make changes to sharpoint list setting.

Worklist Item link is empty

Hello All (warning: newbie) I'm working on a one-step workflow and am almost "there".In my notification email, my user gets an email with a default "click to open worklist item" link which is supposed to take the user to the item where he/she can approve / disapprove the item. But the link is empty. In my email (Outlook) I see the link, but the target of the url is empty. I can see other worklist properties (e.g. SerialNumber, Platform) and I can see properties of my smartobject instance. But the action link is empty. What causes this link to be empty?What causes the link to be populated? I'm stumped here (probably cuz I'm a newbie!). Thanks,-tomas

K2 Smartforms - Limiting Drop Down Box Selections

Hello everyone. I am building a request form that will go to multiple approvers.  In the initial request, I have 3 drop down boxes that are linking to the same data source. Is there a way to either limit or not allow a requestor to select the same item in each drop down?  (attachment) I have tried different advanced conditions using data label versions of each field, but i am not having any luck.

Form without workflow

I have a K2 list form on a SharePoint list. There is a no need for workflow defined on this list so I didn't define workflow on it. When user opens list form, it will show few fields from list items. Requirement is to put a link on list form so user can click on it and open SharePoint list items to view all the fields.As I understood, since there is no workflow and worklist items, report controls will not help. How can I open SharePoint item from my list form?Thanks,

Dear Support,We just upgrade K2 blackpearl 4.6.11 to 4.7 and while running the worklist items - webpart in Sharepoint 2013, we do not see any active process instances or worklist items anymore. Then I looked at the K2 workspace management tools to view the process instances under  workflow server-processes-workflow-process instances, I could able see status active. HOw can I get the worklist items working in the Sharepoint 2013. FYI, we upgraded the k2 for sharepoint app in Sharepoint and process kicks off without any problem from the sharepoint document library insert or update action. Please help. Thanks.

Custom Function (Operators) for SmartForms Designer

Hi,does anybody knows how to create custom operators for the SmartForm Designer?I know how to create custom inline functions (https://help.k2.com/onlinehelp/k2blackpearl/devref/4.7/default.htm#how_to_create_a_custom_inline_function.html) for the workflow designer. But is it also possible to create custom functions for the SmartForms Designer to use them in expressions for example (have a look to the attached hardcopy)?RegardsAndi

Locking down K2 Designer?

Hi, At the moment i had Anonymous Access and Forms Authentication set on the Designer site, however i discovered that any domain User can open Designer and edit the forms...... What is the best way to lock down Designer so that only Local Server Administrators Group or an Active Directory can access Designer? I tried adding Local Admins under IIS to the Authorization Rules part and took out "allow all users", but that won't even let the local Admin load Designer - i just get the 401 error Unauthorised access.... Any ideas?

K2 Worklist to show tasks from all users

We have a slight different requirement, which is to show tasks from all users, using the worklist webpart. I realise that the very definition of the control is to show "work items for the current user" but I have to wonder if there is any way at all to make it query all tasks, as to avoid creating a custom control. Additionally - although not a must-have - we would like to be able to see tasks that have already been finished or expired as well.

Transfering checkbox value from subview to listview on form

I have a request form to which can be added one or more items. There is an "Add New" button on the form that opens a subview to capture all the details on the requested item. When all the details have been entered, the item is saved back to the main form where there is a list view that shows all the items that have been requested. A "Transfer Data" rule is used to move the data from the subview to the Add/Edit row of the list view. All works as expected with one exception: the subview has several checkboxes that wil not transfer over if True. I have tried direct transfer (subview control to list view control) and I have tried using expressions (If subview control = True, set list view control =True). Nothing works and I am getting frustrated. One of these checkboxes indicates whether or not the request is "Urgent" so it is very important that I resolve this issue quickly. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. AZ

SmartForms and renaming of file attachments

I was curious if anyone had any thoughts about renaming file attachments with SmartForms?  I was thinking of the scenario where uploading to a SharePoint library can sometimes generate a "file already exists" error if the same name is chosen as one that is already there, and would like to avoid that.  Also, sometimes it makes sense to rename a file a user may upload as "untitled" to something more meaningful to the process.  Does anyone have any suggestions how we could do this using the OOB tooling in SmartForms?
