Nintex Automation K2

 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.

new to K2 Five workflows. Anyone suggest useful links-articles for K2 Five workflows [Task Assignment , Approvals] integrtated with SQL server.  

Our design of the purchase request workflow is to make a completed workflow non-editable.There is a requirement to update a PO number in the form after it was completed.  What is the best practice to do this?1. direct database record update with:UPDATE dbo.tablenameset FieldName = '999999'where ColumnFieldName = A11111;2. update the form to allow only the purchase order administrator to update the completed form3. update the workflow application to allow only the purchase order administrator to update the completed formI am new to K2.  Are there other possibilities?Thank you.

We recently upgraded to K2 5.1. We installed some of the pre-built Apps and created App using the App Wizard. Everything works well except when we need to select a user. For example, it is possible to define the list of Administrors for an App using the administration forms. When we try to add a new administrator, we key in the user name and the system goes into an infinite loop (we waited up to 20 minutes and never got a result). In case this is relevant, we use Windows AD. I checked the administration form and the picker used to select a user is based on the UMUser SmartObject and call the "Get Users" method. The selected Filter Properties are FQN and DisplayName.  I created a view from scratch with a picker and reproduced the issue. If I uncheck FQN in Filter Properties, it works fine. Bug?

Hi, If anyone has intergrated k2 with Dynamics 365 then please suggest the possible approach, I have K2 % installed on our server. Thanks you Divya Raj

new to K2 : I am going to create a login authentication screen in K2 Five.Kindly suggest any article/out of box solution to implement.   

We have an on premise K2 Five instance connected to SharePoint Online so we use both Windows and Azure login methods in our environment.  However, if a user is in SharePoint, I would have expected the default login to go to Azure instead of forcing the user to choose one method or another every day.  Has anyone found a way to default the login method from SharePoint but allow the choice from any other K2 site (Designer, Management, Workspace, etc)?  

So far I haven't seen any documentation on using the runtime API with K2 five outside of REST. The user guide only mentions REST and OData. The Developers Reference link on the K2 five documentation page is still to the old 4.7 documentation. Does the existing client and management .Net API still work with K2 five for things like custom worklists, etc?

It would be nice to see all places where smart object methods are used before running P&Dif the smo is bound to a form, you can see this from the designer, but many times there are one-off method calls used in rules.does anyone have a script built or easy way to see all places a method is used in a rule?this would help better determine impact of changes to a smartobject

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. 

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."  Brandon
