Nintex Automation K2

Is there anyone using a different forms solution with K2 other than ASP.net pages & smartforms.    I am interested in integrating form.io as a possible UI for K2 workflow tasks.    

[K2 Five:] Often times, it would be valuable to be able to read only the unique values from a particular column in the data returned from a SmartObject. To use the totally unoriginal example of a car dealer, think about having a database of cars, and wanting to sort them by model. Rather than setting up a separate "Models" list that fuels a dropdown, we'd like to just go through the SmartObject data, see what models we have in the Cars database, and present a list of unique values that can then fuel the filter dropdown's SmartObject. It would be similar to a database's "SELECT DISTINCT <field> FROM <table>" syntax. Is this possible in K2 Five? Maybe by creating a SmartObject that queries another SO, which then populates itself with the data to be used as a data source?

Hi, is it true that Functions (Scalar Functions, Table Valued Function, Inline Table Valued Functions)  are not recognized by the SQL Server Service (SourceCode.SmartObjects.Services.SQL.SqlServerService)?We have a lot of them (~1.500) on our MS SQL 2016 SQL server. The UDFs are not even mentioned in the documentation: https://help.k2.com/onlinehelp/k2five/userguide/5.0/default.htm#ServiceBrokers/SQLServer/SQL_Server_Service.htm%3FTocPath%3DAdminister%7CK2%2520Management%7CIntegration%7CService%2520Types%7CSQL%2520Server%7C_____0 What do you recommend to integrate MS SQL Functions? Kind regards, Stephan 

How do I add a Subview as a subgrid in a K2 Smartform using javascript/jquery?

Has anyone seen this before? When I'm working in my workflow, the Task User option disappears when I click from the Task section to the Recipients section. I can click around the screen to get it to come back, but anytime I click on the Recipents section, it disappears.

Hi, is there any guide to use multiple smartobjects on single form?I'm currently using shp 2013 with K2 Five and trying to use multiple lists.  Scenario: We have customer requests object with over 500 attributes. We want to cut this object to multipe sharepoint lists = multiple smartobjects. But we want to use main list where we will use smartforms. This smartform (new, edit, view) will collect, create, edit all the data from other lists that are associated with object. Association will be One To One To One etc. I've tried using save button rule where I picked action to populate data to another smartobject. But that is not really practical when you have 10 smartobjects. And when I delete object (listItem) in sharepoint then on other lists listItem will stay there. Is there any way to make my life easier? Thanks for any response. 

Hello,    Recently helped a customer with configuring a custom rule that would only appear when a certain value was given and needed validation. So I thought I would post it here to help anyone else that might want to do this as well.  1. Create a view that has a hidden control under the control that will be populated by unchecking “Visible” in properties.  2. On the form click “Add Rule”  4. Select the View and control that was used and select “Changed” as action    6. Under “Actions” tab click “Show a View Control” 8. Also configure a “Hide a view control” if value is unselected.    10. Configure Validation Condition for the required field(s).       Also note: Make sure “Do not validate hidden, disabled or read-only controls, Views and Tabs” is selected. 12. If Value is selected, form should have a similar appearance:     13. If rules and conditions are properly configured, a similar warning will appear.         Note: These steps only references to one way it can be done. There can b

When calling a url from postman, I get the 401 unauthorized error. Configuring HTTP STN is recommended to fix this. See link below;https://help.k2.com/onlinehelp/k2blackpearl/devref/current/default.htm#Configuration2.html How do I configure the HTTP STN on my environment?

I've exposed my smartobjects as APIs already but I cannot call some of the methods. I get "Method not found" error. So I want to try OData, how do I use the OData?

Hi, Sometimes in K2 Five the refresh button on forms and tasks disapears, anyone found the same problem? I'll attach an snapshot the next time this occurs.

Is there a registry setting, .config file setting, database setting, etc. that P&D looks at while deploying to a K2 Five environment (on-prem) to check for version numbers?  We have bits that we know 100% will work in a K2 Five environment, but we are unable to deploy because the package was built from a K2 4.7 farm.  We would like to temporarily suppress the error that is preventing P&D from deploying to the package in our K2 Five farm.

Is there a way in K2 Five to dynamically create multiple instances of a task step using the smartobject list and assign tasks to the different set of users/groups.  For example   Workflow Instance 1: smart object will return 3 records based on some criteria and it will create 3 tasks ( or clone) of the step and assign to users/group based on data from smart object WorkFlow Instance 2:  smart object will return 1 record based on some criteria and it will create 1 tasks ( or clone) of the step and  assign to users/group based on data from smart object Also, is this something we can accomplish using sub process.  ???????   

We are experiencing some stability problems with our K2 installation. For some reason the K2 host server service suddenly stops (crashes). There are no error or warning entries written to the event log when this happens. I have enabled the logging feature in the HostServerLogging.config. When the K2 Process stops an error is written to the log file (the specific error can be found at the bottom of this posting).  The process instance on which the K2 service stops is different every time. The process instance is in an error state after the restart of the service. When retrying the process instance manually it continues to work without a problem. We have been experiencing this problem for a few weeks now. Some days the problem occurs only one time a day, some times more than twenty times! We are using K2 Blackpearl version 0807 Update (4.8210.2.450)The error seems to occur in two different unrelated situations:High workload:When there is a high workload on one of our workflows the proble

Missing Reference at Smartobjectfield. Error: The best overloaded method match for string.ISNullorEmpty(string) has some invalid arguements.

Hello, Does anyone has issue to make simple comparison between values from a Reference and a External SmartObject: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 missing something .. this seems very wierd. Do any of you encountered similar issue ? Is there a trick to be able to compare two objects like that ? Thanks in advance,Best Regards,

Report to show which workflows are not starting because of high load on servers/remote event receiver.

Hello all, On a couple of workflows I've worked on using the K2Five designer, loop steps suddenly stop loading their configuration menu. All other steps configuration menus load fine. I see an error in the browser console. Recreating the step does not fix the problem. So far, the only way forward I have found is to completely recreate the workflow from scratch. I've tried opening in another browser and the same error is observed. TypeError: Cannot read property 'type' of nullat SmartWizardAssetControlController.addReferenceItem (<anonymous>:902:78)at SmartWizardAssetControlController.loadReferenceItems (<anonymous>:869:62)at SmartWizardAssetControlController [as constructor] (<anonymous>:102:46)at Object.invoke (<anonymous>:44:171)at S.instance (<anonymous>:94:35)at n (<anonymous>:69:42)at g (<anonymous>:61:496)at <anonymous>:61:119at Object.link (<anonymous>:287:224)at <anonymous>:17:3 "<div class="fadeMeIn ng-scope" data-

Hi, We just connected Sharepoint online with K2 Five correctly and everything seems running fine. Our customer is waiting for the start of their Document Management System project so they don't wont to give access to their users to Sharepoint Online at this moment.  How we can use connection to Sharepoint online to upload and download documents but always using the Service Account instead of asking every single user to login to Sharepoint Online to generate their own oAuth Token? Thanks!
