Change the Runtime URL of a K2 App

Hi everyone, I have a question regarding K2 Five apps. I have created an application using the K2 Five app wizard. The runtime URLs for this app seem to be automatically generated, and I was wondering if there is a way to change these so a more user-friendly URL of my choosing. Thanks!

Set originator of IPC child process in K2 Five

HiI have a K2 Five process that creates a child process during the lifetime of the workflow.  The problem is that by the time it arrives at the child creation task the person who originated the workflow may have left and so the call fails with 'User *** does not have rights to start the process.In K2 BlackPearl there was a dialog that allows you to select an account context under which child IPC process were created.  So if you created them under a service account the AD account issue was fixed.  This option does not exist in K2 5 and it seems to assume the parent originator account is still active. If there is no way to do this is there a way to resolve the K2 error and change who is try

How to change default security label to AAD when redirecting

Hello, I was wondering if there is a way to change the default security label when redirecting a task/looking up users in K2 management.Currently it is set to K2 for me and I was wondering if I could change this to AAD as that is what my users use to login to K2. When users redirect a task from their task inbox in the workspace the default label is AAD so this is working no issues.When some workflow admins are redirecting a task from K2 managment they are forgetting to change the label to AAD so I was wondering if I could make the security label AAD by default.Attached are screenshots of where K2 is the default label.

Digital Signature Control doesn't work in anonymous form

We use a Digital Signature Control in our forms. It works fine with authenticated users, but doesn't work in anonymous form on mobile devices. Is there any solution for this? Or maybe there is another control for digital signature (draw on a canvas via mouse and touch) for anonymous?

How to serialize or deserialize an xml string in K2 five?

I have created a REST api service broker in K2 five. One of the api returns an xml string. Is there any way to deserialize it in K2 five and get the tags and the values which I am interested in? I tried looking for ways in K2 five but could not understand if we need to create a customized smartobject and somehow use it for deserialization. But even then how will it be dynamically generated? Also, if I have a view containing - let say, name and number. Given an xml schema, can it be serialized into xml string and use in the body of PUT api.
