Nintex Automation K2

I know that K2 supports an unattended install mode where you first run the setup manager using a switch that saves all responses in an XML file and then can use that to run the install/update in unattended mode. We would like to use this method in our cloud build & deployment infrastructure as code pipeline to build a repeatable, consistent environment. But how is the license key request handled? Each server would generate its own systemkey which I currently manually enter into the K2 licensing portal which sends a temporary license key in a few minutes and a permanent license key a few hours later. Can this be autuomated to eliminate these manual/interactive steps? Does K2 provide an API to retrieve these license keys? Any ideas appreciated. Thanks

We have a requirement from one of a user to have 100+ fields in a form, kindly let us know if we can have these many fields in a form without any issuesperformance. It would be great to know the list of all limitations in K2 five, will help us to inform end  user before we start any new K2 project at our end. Many ThanksSantosh Sethi

Hi, I have a SharePoint list which has a Person or Group field (Signature) which will be manually populated by a user submitting a request form. The Signature field will allow a user to identify who the form is being submitted for so they can submit on behalf of other users. I'd like to show a list of the requests in a list view and filter them to where the Signature field equals the logged on user.  I've tried various combinations of filters with no success so I've update the filter in my 'View executed inialize' rule as per the attached image to try all combinations of filters but I get no records returned. Any ideas? Just to note, the Signature field has been generated as a 'Text' field in the SmartObject automatically by K2. Thanks, Ben  

Hi, We need to create the custom list with addional columns in SharePoint 2013/16 using k2 five workflow designer. But we've option only to create list with 'Title' column and not with additional columns. 1.  Is there any option to add columns to newly created list using workflow?2.  Is there any feature/option to copy the List itself with all the columns? 

I'd like to fully understand how Item References work. How often does K2 go back to the data source to get the LOB data? If I create a Reference in a workflow (talking K2 Five here), then every time I want to use a property of that reference, does K2 go to the source for that one item? So if I use 5 values to construct and email, has it hit the source 5 times? Or .. does the reference get some point in time understanding of the data and hold it in memory? If so, when/how often does it go to get the source data? Thanks.

I have just upgraded to K2 5 , all my existing K2 4.7 workflows are working as specified . I have updated my client tools and can modify and maintain my existing workflows . These workflows have a number of integrations that will not work in the K2 cloud , so as part of our migration tasks we need to rework the workflows using the K2 5 designer. My Question :-Once I have rewritten the workflow using the K2 5 designer can I deploy the workflow to the K2 5 workflow server as the latest version of the K2 4.7 workflow I am replacing ,for example after migrationI have a workflow named  Workflow in a  catagory "Employment" :- "Employment" has two workflow "onboarding" & "Signoff"I develop two new workflows Employment "Onboarding" and  "Signoff" in K2 5 , when I deploy I want them to superceed the current 4.7 workflows , What I dont want is two workflows named "onboarding" and two named "Signoff"

Hi all, Appreciate if you can share your success story by upgrading your K2 from 4.7 to K2 5.x. After doing reading and researching for some while, i have no confident to propose to my management for the upgrade as cost incured. (Need to upgrade my K2 4.7 blackpearl windows server and Database server's windows & sql server version) And this year is the EOL of K2 4.7. Hopefully you can share your experience with me. Thank you.

HI,  We are trying to connect to the local oracle DB through K2 cloud.  K2 is asking to open to the IP address to access our local DB. As per standards we can't open IP for internet.  Is there any tool which can be setup at our end to make a secured connection to K2 cloud rather opening SQL port ? We just want to have a secure connection which will encrypt the data when K2 cloud application access our DB ?  Thanks, Surya*personal details removed*99

In K2 Management, i can not find SQL Server Service under Categoreis. See the attachment.

Hi Team, I have a simple data entry screen which is built using K2 Forms, let us say, it has 4 controls, (Name, Age, Gender & DOB).on click of button (Save button) in K2 form, can i create instance of class with above mentioned input values from user and call a WebAPI which takes this class object as argument. Is there a way to map, these fields to SmartObject (K2 SmartObject with 4 properties as above) and serialize the smartobject to invoke a WebAPI which is hosted on server. let us say, WebAPI signature looks like this; public HttpResponseMessage K2UIExample(User userInstance): I am able to invoke a Web API from smart object, with primitive values as parameters, but how to convert a smart object and request a Web Api, i am facing difficulties. Any pointers or suggestion will be of great help. Thanks,Nanda Kumar.K

Good Morning everyone, I need to create a workflow that deletes the workflow instance related to a specific SharePoint list item when it is deleted. Users are deleting list items and thus the smartforms are failing to load due to the list item being absent and the tasks are still pending. I can not seem to find instructions on this function but i'm sure it is possible. Anyone have some help with this?Thanks,Ben

The count function for the list view only will count up to the filtered number, but is there a way to get all of the rows on all pages, not just the first x amount? ListCount(x) will only get the number of the visible list items, but I need all items.

The problem is the other subproceses are active, ¿is posible end the

Hi there, This is probably a simple problem but I am having trouble getting a read-only list view to render a 'display' value for a referenced smart object. If I create an editable list view or item view then I can configure a drop-down control to store the primary key but display a 'display' property but with a read-only list view the drop-down control is not rendered and therefore the behavior is to display the primary key (not useful information for a customer). How do I configure a read-only list view to display a 'user-friendly' property in place of the stored primary key for a referenced smart object? RegardsSteven

Hi guys. we've got a fun issue. i want to add a new property to a smart object and map it. if i add the property and map it i cannot click OK as it stays greyed out.  the behaviour can be seen in a video here: SMART OBJECT NOT SAVEABLE AFTER CHANGES this happens on more than 1 smart object with different methods - ie on one smart object i try to add a new property to the create method, on another it's on the get list method. other metods work as expected. interstingly, on the one that does not work, i choose create all, the ok button does become available. i could use this as a work around, but there are 70 odd properties being added and it wouldbe horrible having to delete them all. can anyone help out with a work around here?

so this one is pretty straight-foward we have a k2 worklist view, pre-setup, in design time, with a few filters. users open the page, and can click the filter icon and see that those filters are in place. now, the user can choose to delete the existing filters and setup his own.whenever there is an update to the worklist design filters, all users except those who customized the filters, will get the updates (sort of a personalized view setting). my question is, how can the user who customized the filters, go back to seeing the worklist filters without any customizations? in other words, how are these in-page filters stored, and how can we get rid of them? Environment settings:K2 Five: 5.0002.1102.0SharePoint Server 2013 + K2 App this is a similar post, except for the fact that I don't want to touch the database, nor can I even find any entries in the UserPreference

Hi Is there a SmartObject which truly returns all the Roles that a User is a member of? Scenario:I created a new Role and then added an Active Directory Group to it  (I am a member of that Group). Test:Under System > Management > Users folder I found the  UserRole SmartObject I then executed the built-in IsUserAMemberOfRole method However, after entering the RoleName and my UserName, it returned false. If I delete the Group and manually enter my user individually, it works fine. I suspect this method does not interrogate what Users are within the Groups in the role..? Question:Are there any other built-in SmartObjects that I should/could be using? I imagine K2 must be leveraging something behind the scenes for it's own security purposes?  Thanks,Conrad
