Nintex Automation K2

Hi, I'm experimenting with K2 Five, and I have built a few test forms based on tutorials and with one exception everything is running pretty smoothly. The exception is, whenever I use associations with smart objects, the list views (which were auto generated by K2) load very slowly; like 60+ seconds to load a simple list of 5 records. (sometimes my browser even prompts me "This is taking a long time, do you want to wait or stop, ..."). There is nothing advanced in these test forms, and there is not even a lot of data (5-10 test records for each smart object and only about 5 properties for each smart object), but the slow load behavior is consistently slow whenever the smart objects use associations, and consistently fast when the smart objects do not use associations. Can anyone point me in the right direction to troubleshoot this? Thank you!

Is Visual Studio (VS) the supported solution for debugging K2 Five workflows created in the K2 Five Designer? I've read how VS2013 and VS2015 can be used in K2 Five on Legacy workflows, and how new K2 Five workflows must be created in the new HTML5 Designer.  But, this K2 Five article references the use of VS for debugging workflows.  Is this valid even when the workflow is created as a new K2 Five workflow using the K2 Five Designer? https://help.k2.com/onlinehelp/k2five/DevRef/5.0/default.htm#Concepts/General-Debug.html

I have 4 different forms that a user needs to filled in before it can be submited in a workflow. I would like validate all 4 forms before submitting. The problem is the user can submit from either form 1,2,3 or 4. So I'm looking for a methodology to best check all four forms before allowing the user to submit. thanks

Hi all, Is there a way to add data level security in K2 Five?  We are working on a Provider Contract process and we need to limit providers depending on users country. In previous versions, workspace had an option to define Data Level Security on SmartBox SMO's with associations, now it seems that is not possible. Any suggestion? Thanks in advance!

Hi,I just want to validate my user name and password using Data Label expressions. The question is how can i trigger this data label when we click on login button? 

In K2 Designer (K2 Five) how do I add a simple block of custom text to the layout? I have built a form but need a place to add a couple paragraphs of html text in with the controls. In the view designer, I tried adding a "label" from the toolbox, and that works great if I only need to add a couple words, but it is not sufficient for html text; I can't type directly into the cell, and I do not see any other tools that will allow me to do this. Any ideas?

Hi All, General question to anyone who has worked on both K2 and ServiceNow. I know that ServiceNow has some Business Process Automation capabilities. My understanding is that ServiceNow gives the ability to create workflows and forms. I want to understand pros and cons of ServiceNow and K2 in terms of Business Process automation for simple and complex workflows and forms. I want to also understand comparative analysis of ServiceNow and K2.  Can you also point me to any material which discusses these? ServiceNow doesn’t feature in Gartner scale for BPM tools. Thanks in advance.. Regards,Manju

Hello guys, I am having great fun using K2.  It's so simple and easy to use.  However I have run into a small problem.  When posting my article using K2, if i navigate using the top menu the article appears fine for e,g Arma 3 news/article.  However If I click on the article using the main JO K2 slider all the text appears in bold writing. Is there settings I have missed somewhere that makes it appear in bold?  I really would like it to display as intended.  For preview purposes How the page should look and how it looks when viewed from the main slider All bold when clicked via the slider Any help would be fantastic,   Thank you EDIT: Actually the page displays always in bold.  The only time it does not display in bold is when the article is displayed in a list of different news article.  If you click on heading to view whole article then everything is in bold writing :(

I have come across another post that recommends a Timer Control but then in the comments someone stated this is now new functionality in K2Five. Is this correct and if so how do I set my list view to auto-refresh every x minutes/seconds without taking action on the form?

Hello, Recently i was tested new K2 5 Workflow Designer and noticed that there is no Advanced Destinations(Plant Per Destination, Plant Per Slot). There is also no way to install K2 Studio or K2 for Visual Studio(Except case when K2 4.7 with installed K2 fot Visual Studio was updated to K2 5). Does anybody know the reason of removing such strong functionality?

With K2 Five, will there be any support for visual studio or is it all in browser?  Are you still able to add custom code? Is there any available documentation yet?  If not, do you have a release date? Thanks, David ScottSolution Architect

I've been into the use of the K2 tool for a long while, but one of my utmost challenge is about how to build a workflow to identify a failed activity and retry itself automatically, without manually employing the service of the retry button on the Error Profile page. Where I use K2 for Workflow implementation, there are always instances in which there is a network break, and the Workflow runs into error. Is there a way to build exceptions into Workflows in K2 Studio, such that, when there is a Network Break, the activity in question at that time gives a Return value, that can be built into a line rule to retry the workflow? I really need this to implement into all Activities for every workflow I build, so that the support Team gets to do less job, as they always have their hands full managing so many different Applications at the same time. All possible Reply, Advice and Resolution will be warmly welcomed.  

I'm new to K2.  I have a user who wants emails sent from the workflow to have the "approving manager's" email address as the reply to instead of the default server address (that will bounce) so the end user can reply to that approving manager directly.  I know it's not possible 'out of the box' but any  help/suggestions are welcomed.

The error below was encountered while using K2 Package and Deploy. '30003 RuntimeService has encountered an error. Exception of type 'SourceCode.SmartObjects.Clients.SmartObjectException' was thrown. Any suggestion as to the cause of the error. Thanks.

If I build SmartObjects for, say, Employee and Department. Within the Employee object I have a relationship to a Department (the department in which the employee works). And the Department object has a sub object for the department head, which is an Employee object. If I load an Employee, the employee's Department sub-object should also get loaded, which then loads another Employee sub-object which is the department head. Whould this cause an infinite loop? Is this dangerous?

 Hi. I seem to have hit a dilemma. I'm running Joomla 3.8.1, Latest K2.. 2.80 THE ISSUE: http://mydomain.com/component/k2/author/534-username As an author, my readers are supposed to see my Profile, I'm logged into the back end. I'm logged out of the frontend. All this works great... I can view my profile.NOW: This is where this gets interesting. Another author's url: http://mydomain.com/component/k2/author/551-username - Keeps redirecting back to the home page.Have I missed something here? This is happening to all the Authors which I created for them and registered for them... All except mine. Whether I'm logged in or not. frontend or backend. I've looked everywhere for this issue.  I'm using a Gavick template gk_news2 template. - I've gone through all the settings in K2 categories and the parameters and found that everything that relates to the author page is set to on.   What can it be?  Any Advice would be helpful.   Thanks. Fred 

I have a datalabel that looks like button, it has an "OnClick" event and I can do alerts etc. so the JS is working. e.g. <button onclick='alert('clicked!');'>Click Me</button> What I'd like to know if it is possible to ether ... (A) Call/execute a rule from the onclick event(B) Populate another data label that when I click a K2 Button Control it can submit the new value back to SQL/SharePoint/Wherever! I've been trawling the threads for a while now and can't find anything that seems to work Thanks!
