Nintex Automation K2

I am usin K2 Five to designe a workflow. I have a basic need, i have to put in a data filed a Date that is formated in a French culture.If the date is 2019/3/31, then my data field has to be in the following format: mars 2019.I am using the built-in fuction Format Date and Time and i set up the  format  to be MMMM yyyy.This results with: March 2019. So i need this to be in French format. Is there a way to do this? 

Greetings,In 4.7, a task could be actioned without finishing the task.. essentially registering an update and hold in place. Is this possible in K2 Five workflows? I don't really want to leave the task and loop back around on it because that will regenerate and send a new task email message. BUT .. I want to have the user indicate that they've done something so that the escalation clock gets reset. Leading me to my second questionI think I have to do the escalation reset through a stacked multi-step on the task to change a variable for the date to escalate on... but if I'm wrong here, let me know ... the question is.. if the task action option to not complete is there... does the processessing go down the multi-step to do that variable adjustment then back to the task? Or does it just hold on the task?

We would like to get a list with all users who are active in a workflow. We would like to delete all users who are member of a role but aren't active in a workflow tasks.

We are currently in the process of upgrading from K2 4.7/5.2 to 5.3In discussing 5.3 dependencies (OS version, SharePoint etc) we are wondering how to do this, since we have to remain on SharePoint 2013.Our current developer "one-box-wonder" VMs configuration (what I think is probably typical for others) is the following - K2 5.2 (in place upgrade from 4.7)- Windows 2012- SharePoint 2013- SQL 2012 & 2016- Exchange 2016 We know we'll need to split this up due to the conflicting OS requirements of the products (SP2013 is not compatible with Win2016 and K2 5.3 is not compatible with Win2012),Our question is which would be a better option?1) Each developer has 2 dedicated VMs:- VM1: (original DLX) Win2012 with SharePoint, SQL 2012, Exchnage etc..  - VM2: Win2016 K2 5.3 and SQL 2016 2) Or each developer has a dedicated VM for SharePointand we stand up a single, shared K2 server that each of the developer VMs have access to? This option poses some issues due to multiple separate farms tr

I had this error and wanted to leave one solution for anyone else who may get this in future. I was attaching a PDF from an SSRS report to an email and giving it a custom filename in a workflow.The constructor to deserialize an object of type 'Microsoft.Exchange.WebServices.Data.CreateAttachmentException' was not found. After troubleshooting I found the stored proc which returned the filename for the document to be attached, returned nothing which prevented the attachment and caused the failure.

Hi, We have created a workflow which includes subworkflows. This workflow creates a task and assigns it to a user and the user then can either redirect, share or take action. Therefor, the task will go through different stages. How can we get a audit report of all the different steps of the task including also any user redirection and task share. Appreciate any help

Hello, we want to update from K2 5.0 to K2 5.3 but the installer does not want to continue: Background info: At first we had installed Visual Studio on that server but due to license restriction (Visual Studio is user based licensing and a server is for more than one user) we had to remove it. I tried to uninstall "K2 for Visual Studio 2015" which was removed pretty fast (too fast?) but the setup still does not install... What could I do to "tell" K2 that this is not installed anymore? regards,Johann

I need some help bc after 3 hours of trying to get it - figured someone else might.I have a 'Launch Screen' where users start a request based on Category / Sub Category.Users can either use a 'Search by Keyword'  (Picker Control)  -- that auto populates Category / Sub Category  ORUse Drop down to select a category that would filter a Sub Category (Picker Control) by CategoryID ORChange the Drop down for the category after already using the 'Keyword' which should clear out the pickers & start the new filter.I do NOT want the Sub Category Picker to populate unless it's been populated by the KeyWord or Category Search.My issues:1)  If I Use the Category Drop Down -  it does filter the Sub Category but why can't it auto load the options. Why do users need to click on the magnify glass again when they get into the control.  2) If I use the Keyword search and then want to instead use the Category Dropdown - how do I successfully clear out the pickers and keep the new category in the drop

I am trying to automate some of the administrative tasks for k2.  I am try to create a form with the tree control that is tied to the categories tree.  I want to user to be able to select a category or smart object and copy it to a specific area.  I want the workflow to handle this as the users wont have the rights.  How do i connect the tree control to the category tree?

Hi I have a scenario where I start a workflow in a form e.g "formA" on the form the client does various action and at the end, they do a search and with that result that we start a workflow. But now instead of closing the "formA" and going to workspace I want to open the newly created activity in the form and e.g load details in views and continue the workflow from there. C  

Hello, I have a scenario in which I am using Conditional Styles to show a red border around certain mandatory fields. This is dependant on a hidden checkbox being ticked, as sometimes the fields will be optional. At the moment I am having to create the Conditional Field from scratch for each of the individual fields.Is there a way to have a generic Conditional Style which I can apply to all of the fields in K2 Five (5.1)?  Kind of like how Unbound Rules work, but for Styles. Kind Regards,Josh

We have a workflow that creates a subsite in SharePoint. The first challenge we had was that we couldn't see custom templates from the Create Subsite action in the workflow designer, which is annoying but not the end of the world. The more substantial problem is setting permissions on the newly created subsite. I can set Stop Inheriting Permission and provide a relative url but the actions around granting permission all seem to act on the top level site and don't give me an option to specify the newley created site. When I try to add a user or group to a role, it does that at the top level site. Update subsite lets me change title or description, but not the permissions. I feel like I must be missing something obvious because it can't be this difficult to change permissions on a newly created site.

Hello, we have a list view (that shows SP list items via "Get List Items") that we want to filter with a "search dialog"==> so I created a view with the "search possibilities" (8 controls) But I cannot realy "search" or "filter" the list view... we need to combine the search fields with AND and if I use the filter tab in the "get list items" view method I do not get the correct results if I have more than one search field but use only one... example:I have two columns (RequesterName and AppName) and thus two search fields (named similar)I set up the filters with "contains" and combined them with "and" If I "search" for "Requester=Name1" and "AppName=App1" then K2 will combine it and the list view will show items that contains "Name1" for Requester AND contains "App1" for AppName. But if one search field is empty it will remove all list items... Is it possible to give a wild card to the filter option? regards,Johann

I have setup a CheckBox List control with static values and then a final value called 'Other'.  I want to be able to apply a rule that checks if 'Other' has been selected and if so, show a hidden textbox control. Is this possible?

Does anyone's roles involve designing responsive html emails by any chance? if so I'd like to ask what tool you use for that. The website topol.io used to work pretty well for that(up until K2 Five 5.2) , but now when I send emails using their design from K2, it displays the Desktop version on mobile and the mobile version on Desktop (outlook) so idk what happened with it. I've tried a few other email design websites but they all seem to have some sort of issue.Basically my question is, does anyone know of a good responsive email designer that works well on K2? it could be a software or a website.

Hi, I've created my own approval form which is re-used in multiple places in my workflow and am using a drop down list to show the available actions. Up until now I've used static values in the drop down as the actions have always been 'Approve' and 'Reject'. I now have an approval style task that has a different set of actions so would like to retrieve the available actions for a task dynamically via a SmartObject. I've had a good look and can't find one that would do this. Any ideas? Thanks, Ben

We have configured reverse proxy according to the instructions in this blog post:https://blog.jikai.sg/setup/7/  The designer, management and workspace are serving up correctly when accessed from the internet while some forms and views' URLs are not resolving. They are still pointing to the local server URL as a result, throws 404 error. Additionally, the task forms are not showing up in the workspace iframe as it ought to. How can I resolve this?Any help would be great, Thanks.
