Hi, Is it possible to update an existing Word document with data from a K2 SmartObject? Has anyone tried this with K2 Five? I have found a legacy post, which appears to refer to a Word Document Generator Service. However, we have currently avoided this for now as unless I am wrong it appears to be for K2 Blackpearl?  Also, I could not find much documentation for it. I do not know if this community control is still supported or would even work on K2 5.3 etc. So far, we have started to look at options within Word itself (mail-merge etc.). But ideally we are after a seamless and user friendly approach. It would be great if anyone has any experiences with what we are trying to do. Thanks

We have a K2 Five implementation which has workflows of version 4.7 running in compatibility mode. We do not use Smart Forms, bur instead use custom code for the front end.We have a peculiar issue where the tasks gets locked with the user in the previous step of approval.Example scenario:1) User initiates a workflow and sends these for authorization.2) User asks colleague to authorize.3) The colleague tries to authorize but reports back the error “Work item is already allocated to user name (of the person who initiated the workflow)”4) Currently the user goes into each work item and redirects to the colleague to authorize.This is new behavior and is affecting multiple colleagues. It also happens when you open a task and the task gets allocated to the person who opened the task first.I know that smart forms has a feature “Allocate Worklist Item on Open” which is available. If this option is selected, the task will be allocated to the first user who opens the task and other destination u

I got "Invalid length parameter passed to the left or Substring function" when I tried to action a task.

Version K2 Five 5.3.All processes with Send Email Activity terminated with following errors: There is no connection string for the destination email address….But most of these errors can be resolved by just click ‘retry’. We have done these tests:1. The attachment server has no network packet loss.2. SMTP restriction is, 30 mails per minute, 10000 emails per day.We have done a stress test that a large number of SMTP messages were delivered in a short time. No error response. Only some delay happened when over 30 mails per minute.3. We setup a test environment, which has same settings of SMTP as production. In the test environment, we designed a process with only one Send Email event. 20 instances were started and resulted with 10 errors. Any advice is appreciated. 

Hi,   Is it possible to display SSRS report on a K2 SmartForm?   I have a SSRS report that does some calculations on a groupBy column, I am avoiding doing this on a stored procedure because I will have to loop through the records and it takes time. Is there a control on the K2 SmartForm that can be used to display the SSRS report on the screen?

Hello, Are you interested in taking a modern SmartForm debugger for a test spin?It's a simple Chrome extension designed to radically improve the debugging experience. After installation, there's no configuration, simply open Dev Tools on a SmartForm and you'll be debugging. The extension is in Chrome's WebstoreMore details can be found here Looking for feedback... One issue we found yesterday, is it won't load if Chrome isn't in English. Updating localization is in the works. Enjoy,Nigel

Hi, I have a query related to the Process Instance Info SmartObject, which can be found under the following folder: Categories > System > Management > Workflows > SmartObjects QueryDoes anyone know what user/permissions are required to execute the Remove method on the Process Instance Info SmartObject? BackgroundI created a Sub Workflow which is primarily responsible for removing a running workflow instance (based on a provided Process Instance ID). The Sub Workflow is started via a button on a Form (by an end-user). The Sub Workflow works fine on a development environment. The relevant workflow instance is removed etc. In Production however, we have some errors against instances of the Sub Workflow stating that our K2 service account does not have Administrator rights?Bizarrely, even though the Sub Workflow is in an errored state, I can see that it did in fact remove the specified workflow instance?! Clicking View Flow on the errored Sub Workflow Instance highlights the ac

I am looking to display a map that will show a pin/marker for the coordinates that are inputted, which will eventually come from a list for there to be multiple markers, however I am struggling to even find anything to just add 1 simple marker.   I have scoured the forums and search engines but never seem to be able to find anything that can help. Any help much appreciated.  

Hi All!   We have 3 environment (dev, tst, prod).   Every K2 component has a version number, the designer shows it. But if I move a package to another environment with package and deployment tool the version number change (base on targeted environment). E.g. a smarform has ver.5 in dev will be ver.1 on prod.   There should be a solution where the version numbers are the same. Unfortunatelly there is no metadata the view/smartform/workflow where we add own version number.   Any idea?   Thanks Laszlo

Is it possible to show a PDF within the page rather downloading it.  I have a requirement to allow users to select from a list of hundreds of PDFs and it's not great to end up with loads of downloaded PDFs which then need to opened manually.   If I had control over the web page I would use an IFrame or an Embed tag to allow the PDF to sit alongside the form content.
