Nintex Automation K2

Hi all, I am using K2 5.4 in combination with SharePoint Online. In my application which I am building I have the following situation for a new request:In SharePoint Library 'K2_Attachments', which every application uses an own folder thorough own specific Application Code and Application ID (for example, Code = VEA, ID = 61, so the folder name would be 'VEA000061'). I copy a document using the 'Copy Document' (in Workflow Designer, category SharePoint) from another library called 'Template'. As soon as the application finishes its workflow, I use 'Add Document to Library' to make a copy of the finalised document present in the 'K2_Attachments' library to another library called 'Specifications'. My challenge lies in the following situation for a change request. It goes the following:This time I use 'Copy Document' from library 'Specifications' to library 'K2_Attachments', under a new folder, because a change requests gets a new ID. So for example the folder in 'K2_Attachments' would be

Hi All! Why GUID is missing from workflow variables? Are you planning to be featured? We prefer GIUD rather than ID.  ThanksLaszlo 

worklist control how to use in form and view ?

I came up with a way to read the contents from a CSV file into a table variable using a stored procedure. Once in the table variable, the data can be manipulated, join, aggregated, etc. to your hearts content before returning it to forms. I attached a very simple POC here that you can look at – it was built on 5.1 and requires an application database in SQL Server to host the stored procedure. The only caveat here is that the stored procedure isn’t super flexible/dynamic – you cannot create 1 stored proc to import multiple different CSV files. You’ll need to create a separate stored proc for every CSV file. I wanted to share this out so that it is available.  

Hi does anyone know if it is possible to change the originator. Through a migration I had to restart a workflow and the task went to me instead of the actual originator. I know about using a field in the form, but just wanted to ask if this is possible?

I know this question has been asked before, but all the answers I can find link to solution pages that don’t exist anymore. :(Our K2 version is 5.4I have several workflows which have been started in a workflow-version of the workflow that contains an error.The error has been fixed in the newest version of the workflow. It is a minor correction, so the existing workflows should be able to run on the newer version without problem.How do I force the running version to the newest version? 

I have a simple SmartForm whereby a user can input a 'Reference', just a string of text which helps to identify a record. I want to ensure that whatever the user inputs here is always unique, but I'm not sure how is best to do this? I noticed you can tick 'Unique' against a field in the SmartObject, but unfortunately it's asking me to wipe the SmartObject's data in order to change this. Is this how it can be achieved, or is that different? Thanks

Hi, I'm trying to upgrade to version Five but the previous installation was done by an other engineer and the setup keeps asking me the password of the other account to continue.Can someone help me because I'm stuck now. Thx.

I am trying to add the `PDF Converter` SmartObject to my workflow. It's method is `Create PDF from URL` and all of the input mappings set. Output mapping is set to a text variable (PDF_ID). At this point I try to deploy the workflow but I get the following error:Missing reference at SmartObjectField . Error: Value cannot be null. Parameter name: systemName. Stack Location: K2Process `wfTelecommute` > Stack End. Can someone make sense out of this error and provide the steps needed to resolve? ThanksBob

Hi,Is there any out of box report, which could give the data of all the instances of a particular report, with all the data field values? In short, I need the data audit log of the instances in one report. I am not looking for just the process instances, i need the data audit for every instance in a report. As of now, i am clicking on the data audit by going to each instance manually.Thanks,Pradeep

We are in a process of migration from Claim-less SharePoint 2013 to SharePoint 2019 with Claims. Unfortunately, we need to use InfoPath for the time being. Initial form for K2 process is browser enabled InfoPath form, uploaded on SharePoint 2019 Web App. Form was transferred from SharePoint 2013 Web App, which had Windows authentication enabled (we didn’t use Claims on that site). After fixing the issue with K2 process Originator being shown as K2:NT AUTHORITYIUSR (really appreciate help received here https://community.nintex.com/t5/K2-Five-Forum/Process-Originator-showing-K2-NT-AUTHORITY-IUSR-instead-of-user/td-p/207025), now I get SharePoint 2019 Web application App pool account displayed as process Originator. I would really need to get user who filled out the form displayed as process Originator (as in pre-Claims version). Can anybody help me with this? Thank you in advance!

Hi i have a problem regarding how the workflow perform in some cases. I have a call sub workflow event in which inside of it is a simple task. However the problem is the timing when the sub workflow start and add the worklist to the user sometimes different. This is the main workflow:This is the sub workflow: (the image above is an example) In one of the process instance, the timespan when the task (Validation Survey) appear in the user worklist was roughly around 1~3 seconds. But in another process instance, the timespan when the task (Validation Survey) appear in the user worklist is around 30s to 1 minute.(Tested by QA) I tried to find the cause but have never figured it out. Is there any way to tune or increase the performance? is there any other factor that also impact the performance that i might be missing? Thanks

Hi, I've been using the Dynamic ADSO to update AD and it has worked brilliantly. We're now trying to use the Move User to OU method and we're struggling to get it working. I'm not entirely sure what value to pass in for the Organisational Unit parameter. I've tried various combinations but no luck. The OU is in a folder structure, e.g. COMPANY_USERS/Marketing/London I've already checked that the user we are using has sufficient access to perform this task in AD. Has anybody successfully used the Move User to OU method and what would I need to pass in for the OU parameter? Thanks!

Hi all, I am trying to find a way to end a process/workflow instance on form level. Similar to the "Go To Activity" feature in Management, I have a requirement for this to be done on form level. My scenario is, when I press a button, the instance will go to the "End" Activity. Any ideas on how this can be achieved? Kind RegardsPrineel

We are conducting migration from SharePoint 2013 to SharePoint 2019, so we need to convert to Claims authentication. We use many Processes with InfoPath Web browser forms as user interface (yes, we are planning to migrate to SmartForms, but it’s not that simple).We stumbled upon one great issue, process originator is showing “K2:NT AUTHORITYIUSR” instead of the person which filled-out the form.Is there a way to resolve this? Any help is appreciated.
