Does anyone know how to deploy a custom workspace to another environment? Or do I need to remake it in every environment?
We are technically evaluating a scenario using K2, could you please help to advise if K2 have any such connectors/ integrator present that can read exchange email content and attachment(pdf)?Our invoicing team wants to automate the current flow that contains below steps:Initiation: Invoicing Team gets mail from a third-party vendor with external Email IDs within a given format(along with attachment). Approval 1: After checking the details of email content and attachment attached approver1 forward that to 2nd level approval based on some property. Approval 2: Approver 2 do the digital signature on that attached document and pass to approver 3 Approval 3: Approver 3 again do the digital signature and do approved/reject action on that, then notification send to 3rd Party Vendor to inform that invoicing process completed. Now here we would like to ask is K2 having the capability to read exchange email and create an item in SharePoint or DB based on extracted content also save email attachm
We have the problem that when uploading a file from a smartform into a SharePoint Online Document library (see attached) that the file is not getting uploaded. The problem is that it does not always occur. We can work for 3,4,5,6 hours without nothing occuring and sometimes it can occur within the first hour of working.  I assume the problem is that the Sharepoint online connection is not getting renewed and therefore not able to upload the file.  My question: is it possible to have the K2 service logoff or disconnect from SharePoint Online after each time the user has completed the upload.Â
Hi All,    I thought it might be helpful to compile a running list of design changes big and small from 4.7 to Five (including 5.1). I will be updating this and adding more features as I go along, but for now thought I would start out with stuff that has come up with customers and info that can be found in the K2 Five Release Notes (http://help.k2.com/kb002044 if you would like to take a look yourself). Please feel free to add on to this list in the comments as well.      - If you need to use the concatenate function in the Workflow designer, go to Operators > Text and use "Join". The function is still labeled as "concatenate" when configuring expressions in the Views/Forms designer.     - Process Overview Report and User Overview Report are available through vanity URLS ([Server]/Report/ProcessOverview and [Server]/Report/UserOverview respectively). All other reports can be found in Management > Workflow Server > Workflows > Workflow >Process Details > Reports.     -

Before migrating to K2 5.1, could I know from those who are already on it: - how stable it is? (e.g. any major bugs that cause difficulty in development work or usage of the K2-developed apps)- how is the peformance? (slower than 4.7 or same or faster?) Thanks in advance.
 I get so far with workflow, which I find very difficult to use. Are there any example workflows to review which will help in learning workflow? Thanks! BillK
Hi -I am trying to install a pre-built smarter from the catalog, but it is throwing a very generic error that it failed to load the list.  When I set a proxy setting in the IE connection settings while logged in as the K2 service account, the list does load successfully. Can I set a proxy value in a config file somewhere that will persist? If not, what would be the connection information that needs to be opened on our firewall? "com.K2.App.System.Workspace.Form.CatalogSmartStarterUnable to Load the List    There was an error loading the list, please contact your Administrator."  BrandonÂ

Hi,in K2 5.0 I want to expose system smart object "Workflow Reports>Workflow Analytics>Task" to all users because they must have visibility of the person who is in charge of the task. If user does not have administrator rights it receives this error message: it's possible to avoid to set administrator permission to all users and see anyway data?
I have a student ID and for that Student I have a list of instructors for a specific semester. I need to send an email to each of the instructors, and create a task that is satisfied when all of the list of the instructors have completed their individual tasks. This is a dynamic group, not an Active Directory group. The list of instructors could be 1 to 10, and varies with each unique student. Can I use this smartbox object list to pass email addresses to K2 Five workflow to send an email to each instructor? Then, can I assign a task to each of these instructors to complete in workflow, which means that they received the email, and agree to the content. I see the feature in workflow where all of the tasks have to be complete and then the process moves on in workflow. Is there a smartstarter or example online which does anything like this? My hope is always that when K2 has these features, that somewhere there is an example of how to use them. The internet fails me in finding exam

Hi All,    If you're experiencing an error where the synchronize groups button on SharePoint has been disabled, this is expected behavior following Update 4. This occurs because we have now enabled the identity microservice for Cloud/Appit customers. The identity microservice automatically synchronizes identities and updates from AAD and SharePoint to K2. For more information on the identity microservice, please refer to the following KB article: http://help.k2.com/kb001958     Hope this clears up some confusion!  - Emily     K2 will not accept any liability for any issues arising from actions taken in respect of the information provided by any forum member.Â
Dear all, The SAP system received multiple request data when we used K2 connect for SAP to call smartobject to send data to SAP. But in our trace log, only one request has been sent. So we want to know whether k2 connect for sap has relevant configuration to sent multiple request? Thanks very much!
Hi, I have two separate forms for a Book Nook system (kind of like a Mini Library): i. Admin Form - the admin can add/edit/delete new entries so thatii. User Form - the user on the second form can view the various entries + be able to choose which book they'd like to borrow. I want the admin to be able to add an image of the book cover so that the user can view it. I've tried Image Attachment on the Admin Form and Display Image on the User Form but the image does not display when I run the form.  Any suggestions?
Hello, Does anyone has issue to make simple comparison between values from a Reference and a External SmartObject: We want to compare that the record contained in the SQL Database is equal to the one present in the K2 Reference SmartObject.But the condition above always return false even if the PO# equal the PO_NUMBER returned by the SmartObject. We tried to trim the result but it is also not working, making an output of the TAS Unregistered > PO# and List > PO_NUMBERwe can see that the value are equal:Trimmed PO# from form = PX0000Trimmed PO# from Identity = PX0000 We tried to use the Contains function also:Here we return the entire collection from the List method.But in the same way the result is False even if whenwe output each element they are there:Lookup IDENTITY List of PO_NUMBER = PX0000 PZ0000 Contains true/false = False I read the documentation concerning Rule Designer but there is only comparison between a Reference and a static text field.I don't know if we are missin

Please someone explain this KB: https://help.k2.com/kb002465Known Issue: Applying specific Fix Packs cause customized HTML in an email body to display incorrectly at runtime We faced this issues and we were forced to rollback to before the fixpack to avoid more than 30 email specific text configuration inside a workflow (also with img src html tag for reference to excternal image). I'm not able to understand if html code is still supported in K2 5.0 with Fixpack >24 and also in K2 5.1. Is there someone with experience and understanding on this? RegardsDaniele
