We recently migrated to K2 5.2 and are testing the OOF feature. It appears to work, but the e-mail it sends out is very generic and does not look like the alerts from any of our other workflows. How can we change this formatting default? Thanks, Guy Â
Good Morning Everyone, I am following this article: https://help.k2.com/onlinehelp/k2five/userguide/current/default.htm#How-Tos/WorkflowRESTAPI/Workflow-REST-MSFlow-ServerEvent.htm and am able to generate everything as needed but it is not starting the MS Flow workflow. If I use the request in postman it starts the workflow without issue. There seems to be a disconnect with the rest service broker (maybe) and the ms flow. Anyone have any ideas why it is not starting the workflow? I've double checked all the Host post url information and recreated the json multiple times. I also change permission on the specific smart object action. Thanks all,BenÂ
Hello,Is it possible to modify OutOfOffice Task notification email?Thanks a lot for any answerJan
I am trying to configure the Inbound OAUTH to use the REST API with K2 Five. I am reading https://help.k2.com/kb002870 and https://help.k2.com/kb002784#Step2 I have integrated SharePoint online with K2 and that is working. I can't find an App Registration in Azure AD for K2 in order to be able to get the client Id and secret to configure the custom connector. I assume I also need to grant the K2 API permission. Can anyone let me know what I am missing with this please? Thanks Â
We are planning to upgrade K2 to newer version. We have 2 instances with SQL Server AlwaysOn. Once instance is active node and another is Passive node. Is there we can upgrade one instance at a time withouth impacting the other instance. Basically user doesn't get impacted during upgrade and one instance will be always be working. I am not sure how this works with SQL Server AlwaysOn as database will be syncing
Good Morning Everyone,  Some of my users are getting a random redirect when attempting to access the workspace. It goes to a page saying "Download the app for your device" even though they are not on a tablet. They are not on tablet mode either on windows 10. Some are still on windows 7 as well. Any ideas why this is happening?
Ok, I want to start by saying I really like the new Blue Void and Gray Void themes. So much so that I wanted to copy one of them and make some tweaks to the colors to match our corporate colors.   However, I do not understand why K2 is setting the label font-weight to be normal and override anything that might be set in the form.   I attempted to change this in the Theme.less file and restarted/IISReset to no avail. So can someone please tell me which of the seemingly thousands of .less or .css files in the theme folder this exists so i can take it out?? I've opened about 30 of them and can't find anything other than what I changed in the theme.less file.  Â
I am trying to do the follwing in workflow email body  repalce (replace (my.txt@xyz,com),@xyz.com),'.','')  to show expected resule "my text" I am able to do one or the other as I do not see how to combine the the two replace in one formula. screen shots or step by step would be helpful.

Hello K2 Community,Does anyone know of a good way to tag individual Workspaces for the purpose of tracking their invocations outside of K2?i.e.We have 2 apps each operating with their own WorkspaceApp 1 https://myenvironment.nerdstrom.com/Workspace/#?workspaceID=148383e-74*personal details removed*b0-9c8f-0c77090e1CCCApp 2 https://myenvironment.nerdstrom.com/Workspace/#?workspaceID=ef39a4f-7fdf-g0ee-9c*personal details removed*fbab54d5AAAQ1: Is the workspaceID unique to the user of the app?Q2: Would it be possible to customize the URL so that I could tag my Workspace as inApp 1https://myenvironment.nerdstrom.com/Workspace/#?workspaceID=148383e-74*personal details removed*b0-9c8f-0c77090e1CCC&tag0=orderingapp&tag1=testing&tag2=application&tag3=expiresDecemberhttps://myenvironment.nerdstrom.com/Workspace/#?workspaceID=148383e-74*personal details removed*b0-9c8f-0c77090e1CCC&tag0=complianceapp&tag1=prod&tag2=application&tag3=expiresJanuaryI intend to be abl
Hi, I am utilizing the Task List in a Custom Workspace, and have noticed that it always sorts with the most recent task on top. Our business operates in a "first in first out" model, which means they have to work from the bottom-up. Is there a way to change the sort on this control?
We have on-prem 4.7 environments, DEV, QA and PROD. As part of the upgrade to 5.2, we will clone each of these to new servers, run the 5.2 setup manager to upgrade them to 5.2 while preserving the 4.7 legacy components (e.g. Visual Studio). And then we will prioritize rebuilding the 4.7 workflow processes using new 5.2 designers so as to remove dependency on 4.7 components. But https://help.k2.com/kb002070 says that a KSPX package created in 4.7 cannot be deployed into a 5.2 (even upgraded) server. This presents a quandary. We were hoping to support day-to-day businesss (fixes & enhancements) and also keep the parallel 5.2 server up-to-date by deploying the 4.7 KSPX. How else can this be done?Â
Hi,We are setting up new server with K2 5.0 & getting this error "Issue while accessing K2 5.0 server from SOE accounts, while they were accessible from AD accounts"Kindly let me know how to fix this error. Thanks. Â

We have 5 smart forms and a portal in k2 5. After upgrading one of the forms upon opening scrolls to the bottom of the form instead of the top. This is very annoying and confusing for the users. It's only the one form that does this. What might the issue be? How can you configure how the form presents itself upon opening.
Hi All, I have a app i've put together that takes a sharepoint list of items and queries the worklist smart object in the systems folder on k2. As the admin I can access this without issue but when I try to access it with a test account after giving access to the smartobject it still will not let that user query the object. I think I am missing an easy piece of the puzzle but i'm kinda stuck. Anyone know what permissions I need to set for a user to access that specific smartobject and not allow them access to the world at the same time? Thanks,Ben
We have a client that typically just copies the K2 dependancy files to the WCF server in their project deployments.Can they continue to use this practice or is the K2 five client tools install required on the WCF Server?Â
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 Â
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?Â
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" Â
