It is not possible to create a package in Blackpearl 4.7 and then deploy the package to a K2 Five environment. To bring a 4.7 solution to K2 Five, the 4.7 environment must be upgraded to K2 Five which gives usage of the Legacy Designers. These solutions will then be able to be packaged and deployed to another K2 Five environment which has been upgraded.    If the K2 Five installation was fresh and not an upgrade, the K2 Five environment will not be able to use the Blackpearl 4.7 solutions, as the Legacy Designers will not be available.     Please browse the documentation below:     - Cross Designer Compatibility     - Deploying between versions     "K2 will not accept any liability for any issues arising from actions taken in respect of the information provided by any forum member.”

In the Send Email event of a K2 Five Workflow, the From Field is usually populated with a default “From Address” based on the Exchange Server.    Changing the From Field to another sender can result in error, as a different email will need to be configured in Exchange to have permissions to “send on behalf of”.     In order to revert the From Field back to “From Address” utilize the following steps:     Click the pencil symbol in the From Field to erase the email that was entered              At the top right corner of Send Email click the hexagon with a plus symbol in the middle        In the Search Items Field type “From Address”           A brown hexagon with “From Address” item reference will appear, drag this to the From Field           Click the pencil Icon and the “From Address” will now be restored in the From Field     "K2 will not accept any liability for any issues arising from actions taken in respect of the information provided by any forum member.

I'm currently working with a filtered list view (see attached). When I click the "Create PDF" button, I'd love to be able to iterate through each row in the list view, append its coordinating item view after the previous one, and use Save as PDF (or PDF Convertor) to create a PDF of all the item views. I've been able to navigate to the item views when clicking the button, but it replaces each one with the next while iterating through them. Is there a way to append them instead, and then to create a PDF?

In a working workflow, I added a reference to an AD user and then deployed again. The reference did not capture what I needed. Then, I opened the workflow to review. Nothing wrong so I tried to re- deploy it again, but this time failed with the error: "One of the properties in Activity [activity] located in event [event] is pointing to an external reference that does not exists." I deleted the reference, re-deployed and success, but then again, I re-create the reference, deployed successfully but when reopening the workflow, the error message is back (figure is attached). Thank you!

I am relatively new to K2 and would like to know how to permission and filter user groups from viewing items in a list We have hubs like (Hub1, Hub2, Hub3, etc). Under these hubs we have multiple locations (like Loc1, Loc2, etc). There are users attached to each of these locations. The users who are attached to a specific location should be able to view all requests for that location, and nothing else. There could be one or many users in each location. Similarly, if a user is attached to a hub for example Hub1, he should be able to see requests available for all the locations in that hub. In addition there are admins who should be able to see everything irrespective of hubs or locations. We use SQL Server Smart Objects for this. I have attached a spreadsheet to explain this. I was wondering if anyone has any ideas in implementing this? All help will be highly appreciated. Cheers, S

Question:Are there known issues or licensing concerns with upgrading K2 for SharePoint from SharePoint 2013 (Active Directory-AD) to SharePoint 2016 (Active Directory Federation Services-ADFS)? Are the users treated the same or are they distinct and not linkable (as the same user)?  Answer:The answer is explained in 2 parts. Part 1:An AD user and an ADFS user, even though they might be considered "the same thing", will appear as 2 different users or entities from a K2 perspective, because they use 2 different labels. 1. An AD user will use the K2 security label. 2. And an ADFS user is going to use the ADFS label An AD user might look something like this in the "identity.identity table":K2:DenallixBob, andmight be something like ADFS:Bob for the ADFS equivalent. Because we are querying 2 different "user stores", and we authenticate using 2 different security labels, we will store 2 different entries in the "[Identity].[Identity]" table.Those 2 "entities" should have 2 different entries
