I have tried to Out Mapping the ID to List A View parameter after new list item added and transfer this parameter value to List B but all is empty from List A parameter. Please help and thank you!
Hi everyoneWe have a workflow that should address different admin groups depending on their responsibilities.The groups are assembled dynamically using an SQL query. The determination of the groups is correct and returns the FQN correctly from the users.The SQL query was implemented as SMO and specified as reference value.Unfortunately, K2 now uses all returned values together, i.e. if there are 3 users in it, these 3 will be read, but all of them will be given to each other as destination. That won't work, of course.How do I get K2 to read and treat these 3 entries separately?I have attached the workflow task and the SMO result as a hint. Thanks for our IdeasStef
We have K2 five on premise . I have 3 views on a form . Each view is associated to a different smart box and I have created views for each one with 4 columns. Struggle I have is to set column width of each generated columns. I want to give 20%, 30%,20%, 30% to each table column but there doesn't seems to be a way. Columns in each view looks little out of alignment.  Is there a way to do what I am trying ?  For a product that is so mature in functionality i really feel it is too restrictive in assinging style. Â

Background is we have a Dev and Live Server, both are K2 v4.7 and running on Windows Server 2012 R2 and SQL Server 2016 1) For the DEV Server, we are thinking of doing an in-place Upgrade to K2 Five, but which is the correct order that everything should be done in? So for instance we plan to upgrade IN-PLACE theOperating System to Windows Server 2016 K2 v4.7 to K2 FiveTaking the above into account, which is the correct order to do this upgrade and can you foresee any issues? 2) For the LIVE Server, i'm thinking a new fresh server with windows server 2016, sql server 2016, K2 v4.7 and all patches, fixpacks, coldfixes, then migrate forms and data from old server (using package and deployment), and then K2 Five upgrade in-place. My question is...... Can you advise if we should create a NEW K2 Admin account for the new fresh server or use the existing one? - This is a very important question, because when we did the previous upgrade from v4.6.9 to v4.7, we used the existing K2 admin accoun

I have a List View that:opens a subform with an item view when single clicked. opens a subform with an editable item view when double clicked.I have a rule for both subforms that when they are closed the list executes the list refresh method.From the view-only subform you can click a button to perform in-subform-navigation to navigate to the edit item subform.  THE PROBLEM: When you navigate to the edit subform from the view subform, the close the subform the list refresh does not execute.Â
I had a drop down that was attached to an Azure Active Directory Smart Object from when I first started the workflow about two weeks ago. I had to add one additional option within the Filter options, which worked. However, after I saved and checked in the View, whenever I would try to use the Runtime of the view (or the form that the view is on), I get the spinner on the drop down (on multiple browsers) and no users appear. I did not change anything else but we were having some network slowness, so I waited a couple hours, but that didn't resolve. Then I gave it the night last night, to find that nothing resolved. This morning, I went to the K2 Management > Categories > Azure Active Directory and I ran the "Get List" for that SmartObject. It returned a list of accounts with their details. I even tested filtering that execute and still got the results I anticipated. However, it still did not work on the View or Form. I have even made a new List View and used that SmartObject. It
I have a workflow that I have deployed successfully in the past that now when I go to deploy, it never shows a success message, it just is stuck on deploying, as you can see in the attached image. Has anyone experienced this before? What did you do to resolve the issue? Â
I am beginning a project which includes migrating from 4.7 to Five. Are there any documents/white papers which describe the issues and differences between versions?
Hi All, I am working on a project to decommission an old forms application that is currently used to create and store over 100 forms. K2 five is being considered as the new tool to house these forms, as we already use it for several workflows. Does it make a sense to use K2 for forms that do not have workflows? Are there any potential downsides to using the application in this way? If this is not an ideal use, do you have any suggestions of applications that may be better suited to this task? Thanks for your time. Sincerely, Evan
Good Afternoon,I am having issues in my Workflow with a Smart Object Method using a custom Endpoint Assembly DLL and the "Wait for external system" option. I am passing in the step serial number of the Smart Object Method to restart the step once the code completes usingServerItem svrItem = k2Connection.OpenServerItem(stepSerial); but when the code executes it throws "ClientException: 25225 Server Item Not Found with Serial 127_40" as one example. I have looked around in the database to try and find the item and came across the Server.ProcInstItemState table and I can see the Process instance of 127 but not an ID of 40.I have tried removing the Smart Object Method and re adding it in. I also move the step to the beggining of my workflow to see if that made a difference however I still get the same result.Is there something I am missing to enable the step serial number to be saved properly perhaps?I used the following to guide me using the Client API section however there is no mention

I have multiple terms and courses.We are trying to display a row from a list view, but when the change in term happens, the change event fires, and it has clear rules within it, that clear out data. Is it possible to check a form state, or a parameter, or something where I can add this condition to the change rule to not execute the clear event? I am trying to take a list view and redisplay the form that was entered. BillK

I'm in the process of working on an existing workflow, whenever I click on the "Submit" event in the workflow designer, I get an error that pops up saying "Server Error. An error has occurred" (workflow error screen shot). I remoted in to my server, and ran the Configuration Analysis and K2 Server tools, and got the errors shown in the "server" screen shot that I've attached.  Any ideas what could be causing this?Â
