Nintex Automation K2

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

Hi  I want to set destination from a SQL table Smart Object. But it only accepting first value. If I select All values as collection, and create an instance I get error that atleast one destination is required. It works when I select First value option. Please refer attached screen shot. Thanks,

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? 

Hello Community! I have created a K25 SmartObject designed to hold user contact information - K25ContactInfo.Requestor, now I want to reuse this design in other SmartObjects by association, and also in views - how can I best do that?  Also, if I add fields to the K25ContactInfo.Requestor SmartObject, will the other SmartObject's I associate it too also be updated?  How about the views? Thanks! Tom

Has anyone used the Exchange Online Service that's new in 5.1?  It really seems to have powerful features from what I can see: https://help.k2.com/onlinehelp/k2five/userguide/5.1/Default.htm#ReferenceInfo/ExchangeSMO/ExchangeService.htm Question - for either the moderators or someone using it....Does the "Move" Email method have a return property of new email ID?  When you move an email on exchange, the email ID changes.  Lack of new email ID return property seemed to be an oversight in the old community broker, which I had to have someone correct for me.  If it's lacking in the new 5.1 service, it will make it almost useless (at least for me).   Does anyone know? Thanks, Rob

I reviewed most of the  forum threads around migrating from K2 4.7 to 5.1 on-premises but I am not clear on what the recommended replacement is for the K2 context we currently use in K2 for Visual Studio. In other words, our K2 4.7 environment uses ASP.NET interfaces along with K2 DLLs (e.g. SourceCode.*.dll) to build our deployment packages. Since K2 for Visual Studio is deprecated, we would need to move all the custom code into REST API endpoints and integrate with the K2 engine.  But when I look at the Workflow REST API documentation, I see high level API endpoints around Task and Worklist management. Where can I find the REST API for the following K2 String Table (read) K2 Process Instance XML data (read & write) K2.ProcessInstance.Originator.Email (object) K2.ActivityInstanceDestination.Activity.Name K2.ActivityInstanceDestination.UserSample code in our current DLLs that uses this is below So how can we migrate our custom code from K2 for Visual Studio into the new designers i

I'm trying to configure k2 Five server to be accessible publically over internet. while installing K2, setup will default all urls for accessing k2 to https://PhysicalHostName/xxx. This is useful if you want to use k2 within your local network ONLY.Let us say I want to make it accessible over the internet, through https://k2.MyPublicDomain.com, so I prepare the following:I create the sub domain k2 under my public domain hosting and route it to the physical K2 server. I install ssl Certificate on IIS and modify the binding to use it. I allow all required traffic through firewall and security devices.Now, if I open https://k2.MyPublicDomain.com from any browser, it reach the internal k2 server (showing Secure SSL page), start the warming up of k2 page, and then it will try to authenticate the user by doing an unfortunate static redirection to https://PhysicalHostName/Identity/sts/...  instead of a relative one. This will definitly lead to inaccessible page, because your Physical host ser

 I made a post about my dissatisfaction with the migration process in K2 considering upgrades and the end of support. This post was deleted. So be aware that you will not see anything negative about K2 in this forum because it will get deleted. This simply adds to my dissatisfaction with this company. I am sure it was deleted because the kudo factor would have been through the roof. Thanks,Bryan Peters

Has anyone found a way to update the SharePoint Group Owner in K2 Five to another group?  This is obviously possible via the UI in SharePoint, but when I use the "Group" SmartObject under Management on my activated site collection, it tells me the "User" can't be found.  If I use a User email, it works fine but how do I update the SharePoint Group to point its Owner property to another SharePoint Group?   

Hi all,I wanted to raise the topic of Accessibility to K2 forms for users with disabilities. I recently had a very informative meeting with colleagues about how we present our webpages/forms to users with disabilities (visual, hearing etc). As part of this meeting, we tested some of our K2 forms to see how the following software interacts with K2:Windows 10 Narrator (built-in)DragonRead n Write GoldDolphin SuperNovaDragon Dictate. With the Windows Narrator and Read n Write, the software works by speaking out any highlighted text by the mouse.So first we tried with regular Microsoft Word documents and they dictated vey well.Next up was some of my K2 Forms...... So we highlighted some text on the form (The word "Hello"). Instead of dictating the word "Hello", the Windows 10 Narrator and other software both said "Table, Column 1, Read Only, Hello"...1) Why does Dictation and Special needs software read the actual structure of the table?Has anyone come across this before?Is there any Acces

Good Afternoon,We have recently obtained K2 Five and I was wondering if there is any inbuilt functionality for changing the style/images etc of the Workspace page or if there is an easy method to achieve this? I have had a bit of a look around but have not come across any solid information on this, so happy if someone has some documentation they can point me to. EDIT: Apologies, when I was searching through google I could not find many results however searching here in the community comes up with more.This link is an older question for blackpearl and indicates that workspace styling is not possible, is this still the case for K2 Five?Kind RegardsNathan

We recently upgraded to K2 5.1 FP8 and have an issue with incorrect icons being displayed with the Lithium theme. We don't have this issue with the Grey Void or Blue Void themes. Also, the problem only occurs with the RuntimeRuntime url and doesn't occur with the DesignerRuntime url. Exemple with the DesigneRuntime url (correct)  Any ideas?Thanks.
