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 Â

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.
Hi All,Is K2 five support the Pagination for Go To Last Page. the List view is display all the values based upon the Paging. can we intrroduce the Go to Last Page button in Pagination. Is Default Option are available in K2 five product.
I have 2 workflows: - Main Workflow who start 3 Instances (Synchronous) of workflow - 2 named Child,  - Child workflow is very simple, Only have a task to the user, and send the result to the parent workflow (Main). Main Workflow wait to the result of the Child process, and analyze the result is one of the is cancel the workfow expires the rest of the steps and workflow continue.  Main Workflow: MainWorkflow.jpgcall to workflows: CallSubWorkflow.JPG, CallSubWorkflow2.JPGMerge Rule Main Workflow : MergeRule.jpg  Extecution: When Main workflow starts 3 instantes of the child workflows are created, and 3 tasks are assigned to the user, when the users selects cancel of one of them, this child workflow ends and the main workflow continues to merge step, this step expires the other steps and workflow continues. The problem is the other subproceses are active, ¿is posible end the other child workflows?, I selected the option "Expired active sub workflow if the step is expired" in the call of
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 table: https://community.k2.com/t5/K2-Blackpearl-Forum-Posts/What-table-is-the-custom-worklist-workspace-filter-stored-in/
Hi Guys, I am new to K2 and i want to achive the following : Enabling and Disable textbox control and setting text to empty on dropdown change event, on dropdown display text. Regards,Yahya Â
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
Does anyone know how to create a popup over a picker label, so when the user's mouse is over the picker object a pop up with a customised message appears?

I've created a dll that connects to MySql database and, depending on a method called, either creates an insert or deletes a row. After that I created an Endpoints Assembly service instance based on that dll and a smart object for each method (two in total). I need and external system to access those methods through REST API. But I can't find the proper documentation for that. Can you point me in the right direction?Â
Hello all,  I'm working on a tuition reimbursement form for our company and I'm stuck as to how to move forward with one of my views.    I'm using Azure SQL as the back-end for the forms. After someone submits a request I want there to be a form that contains a list-view that lists all of their active requests and the status of that request. This isn't a worklist per se as they will not have a task assigned to them, but just a list of their requests.  I'm having no problem getting the list to populate with tasks, I'm just curious how I would go about linking the items in the list view to a display form that would show the request in more detail, and where I'd also have a place to capture comments.  I was assuming I would add a button to the list view that they would click and I could use the sql service smart object "list" method and pull in the primary key from the list view. Unfortunately I'm stuck as how to do this. I've also been unable to get the button to show up in the l
Has anyone got any tips/example on how to create an editable list view against data from a REST service?I want to make sure that the following is technically feasible:1. Retrieve a Serialized array from REST Service, and Deserialize it into a List (through a SmartObject)2. Create a List View based on SmartObject3. Edit/Add/Delete buttons on List4. Save button will Reserialize items and send data back (through method on REST Service SmartObject)Is this the right approach or even possible? I think I know how to do step 1 - it's the linking onto a View I'm more concerned about.I presume the list view can be generated automatically from the service smartobject? I don't know how data can be serialized and posted back?Any guidance at all much appreciated!
I have a smart object that returns a list of users. I want to send an email to all these users, but if I drag the email property of the smart object into the "to" field of an email event in the workflow designer, I get the error (once it s deployed) thatThe emailaddress can't be resolved. It concatenates all email adresses without separators. Resulting in for example abc@*personal details removed*Has anyone got an idea on how to set multiple recipients based on a list method result of a smart object?
Dear Expert First of all I'm very brand new to K2. K2 Five server has newly setup. Firstly K2 admin account and service account have been set in different ID. There'd be something that updated service account to something else. Now I'd like to change service account in Setup Manager but the field is blocked to update. Please advise me on this.  BR, Peerasit
Post K2 v4.7 to v5.2 the whole K2 user experience is painfully slow........ Checking in a form results in the form hanging for *personal details removed* seconds before the action take place, in the meantime you question whether you clicked it in the first place. Loading Designer, Management or Workspace takes on average *personal details removed* seconds to load up in a web browser. Anyone else sharing the same slowness in K2 Five in all aspects of use?
