Bill,

Since you are using Five.1, it's easy.  The capability to download new SmartStarters is built into the product.  Just follow these steps:

1.  Open a browser and go to K2 Workspace

2.  Click on the green K2 logon in the upper left near where it says "Workspace".  This shows you the workspaces available.

3.  From the list of available workspaces, click "Apps"

4.  This will show all SmartStarts already installed.

5.  You can add new SmartStarters by selecting "All" under the left hand navigation, then in the right pane select "New"

6.  That opens a dialog box to pick a SmartStarter.  You can browse the entire collection by clicking the "Install from Catalog" button

7.  You can examine the list and then for the one you want, click the Install button

The SmartStarter will download and install in your environment.  Looking at the pre-built SmartStarers is a good way to see working examples.  Once downloaded, you can even modify them for your purpose.

Thanks David!

Follow up questions:  Is there any documentation on what each smartstarter does?

I chose one at random, downloaded and installed it.  It is under my items, and there are a lot of forms and items.  I am looking for a workflow example to follow.  Any suggestions for the smart starter list which would use a workflow?

Hi,

Maybe the production documentation for SmartStarters in K2 Blackpearl 4.7 might help. I couldn't find anything in K2 Five 5.1

https://portal.k2.com/downloads/smartstarters/getsmartstarters.aspx

I couldn't find any documentation other than a sentence on the apps.

Another question:  I noticed the smart starter I installed went under my items.  Is there a way to install these in a category say 'SmartStarters'? then a subcategory for each app?   If I put these all under my items this will add to my confusion until I find an example which can help me.

David's instructions are spot on with how to download a smartstarter.

I still have not satisfied my question with looking for a smartstarter with workflow.  I could only find a sentence of documentation of what the smartstarter does, and when it downloads to my items, it is extremely difficult to make heads or tails of what the 30+ items do.  I would like to download more, but if it puts them in my items, it will add to my confusion of how these items relate together.  If the package deploy would have allowed me to put them in a category on download, that might have been a wee bit more helpful.

I can suggest an item on ideas.k2.com to come up with some examples and documentation.   Overall, there is a very steep learning curve with this product.   It is not easy to find any help with questions; either on the community or with smartstarters; but it looks to be better than a year ago.

Thanks all!

Hi BKlaege,

Perhaps, you can obtain previous documentations for SmartStarters in 4.7, see video link

This 44 second video does not answer any questions I have on smartstarter workflows, or how to download them to individual categories.

Thanks.
