UM User - slow performance with Azure AD

Hello, I have a performance issue with using the UM User SO. Every time I run the SmartObject, it takes around 3 seconds to execute. This happens only when using the Azure Active Directory Label.  My understnandig is that the system Should use the identity cache in such scenario to retrieve the users list, which should be rather fast. This was tested straight from the server, so it should not be the network issue. Also the Azure AD smartobjects (which I suppose are reading straight from Azure) are running much faster (around 0.4 s to get all the users). Is there any way to debug/workaround such issue? Thanks

Validate field on form based upon Workflow Action decision

I have been trying to work on a rule that if the approver selects "Requires Changes" as the decision to the Select Action in the Workflow View, that ensures that the field within the form is not blank. We have the Approval Comments in a view that has to have information for the decision to be accepted. I tried to place the validation rule on the "If current Workflow Activity is..." and I selected if Action = "Required Changes". While I can see a validation message pop open, the rest of hte rules that occur after (and these are in the rules as "Then" selections so these rules shouldn't happen while the validation occurs).  I've looked for examples on how to do this as I can't imagine that it would be uncommon to require information to be included with a decision - but I haven't found a tutorial or any other information that seems to display how to do this.

K2 designer using web server service account for DB connection after Five upgrade

We have our K2 Five installation separated into a web server and an app server. When we try to load saved workflows, the workflow designer halts at 80%. I can see a browser console error showing that K2 is trying to connect to the K2 database using our web server service account, not our app server service account. Do I have to give our web server service account access to the database? I had the understanding that everything goes through the app server. Maybe that's not true for the designer? It seems to be only workflows. SmartForms seem to save and run fine. I'm attaching a screenshot of the console error.

Starting a workflow for Selected Rows in a List View?

I am trying to start individual workflows for selected items in a List View.I am using the "For Selected rows on #### List View" confition, then running an update method to change a status, which is working correctly (only selected rows are being updated). But, when I put a "Start Workflow" action in the same "for each" condition, only one workflow is starting, but it seems to be passing all items in the list view into the workflow, rather than starting a individual workflow for just the items selected. I can't seem to find any documenation or topics on this, what should be the correct set up?  Thanks.

Export workflow process definition

Is there a way to export the process definition in a plain text (XML, JSON, etc) file so we can check it into a SCM system and do "diffs" between versions to see what changes were made? I reached out to K2 Support but there is no out-of-the-box way to do this, checking to see if someone in the community has implemented it. Thanks

Parameterize a Workflow Email Body

Hi just want to ask a few question In K2 Five i already know that is a ootb function to send email using task notification and you can customize the body and etc. But there is a problem, can i customize the body without deploying the workflow to change it. For example are there any smartform / smartobject that can change the body so it can be parameterize. Or there are any other way to change the body. Because K2 Documentation that i read (https://help.k2.com/onlinehelp/k2five/userguide/5.1/default.htm#K2-Workflow-Designer/Use/Toolbox/Basic/SendEmail/Send-Email.htm) just point out that you need to change the body in the workflow.  Thanks

"Feature Request": K2-Five Designer: Style settings like in Visual Studio

At the moment I have to set the "Styles" for every single control one by one.If would be nice if I could mark more than one control and change the same style settings for all of them in one step!Additionaly it would be fine if there was a "property" list for all the style-properties as it is for example in visual studio. RegardsViktor

Saving a task serial number to a smart object

I have a workflow where I save the workflow ID_TaskID so that I can complete the task via a separate form.However sometimes the TaskID isn't the correct ID and when the end users are trying to complete the task via the separate form they do not get the proper serial number and can't complete the task.I have this TaskID saved in a multi step running before the task.Attached are screenshots of the workflow.Is there potentially a better way to save a task ID/serial number?

Task mail with dynamic recipient and mail body

I have an issue about task mail with the dynamic recipient, each receiver will receive different mail context. My recipient gets from DB data, so I can not sure the exact number of receivers.And each receiver will get their owned mail context, the mail context also gets from DB data. I was using a loop to send the task mail, but I found that the task only sends to the first receiver, not all receivers in once. Only if the first receiver reply to the task, the workflow will keep going. (Please see the picture 1.) But if I use one task to send the whole receivers, I will get an issue that I don't know how to assign the single value to each task mail, looks like I only can put the whole smartobject field on the mail body?  (Please see the picture 2, 3.)   Is there any good way to implement the requirement? Thanks in advance! pic 1

Rendered HTML Links edit in workflow

I am trying to create a workflow that sends an email with some info and a link that is dynamically generated.K2 now has the ability to directly render HTML in the email step, and that works perfectly if the link is not dynamic and does not need to change, but if the link needs to change, there's no way to do that because if I press the <>HTML button at the top right corner of the editor, it just wipes the editor area and does not show any code. So I have no way to edit the code of whatever rendered HTML I paste in.Has anyone found a way to make this happen? The first screenshot is the rendered HTML, the second one is after pressing the HTML button on the corner

HotDocs Advance REST API to Service Instance - anyone done this?

Hi, I'm trying to create a service instance of type REST for incorporating the HotDocs Advance API but not having much joy. I can query the API fine from PostMan but K2 doesn't like the Auth/Token endpoint. In HotDocs Advance the call to get Authorized is as follows: https://hddev.mycompany.com/hdaauth/Authorize/ServicePrincipalLogIn There's a Header : Cntent-Type = application/jsonAnd the payload is RAW JSON in the Body of the request:{"ClientName": "K2Client","PrincipalName": "K2ClientSvcPrinciple","PrincipalPassword": "passwordhere"}As I said this works fine in Postman and I can use the returned token in the BODY to authorize all my calls to the API.HotDocs have said that their API is not "pure OAUTH"... not sure what that means. Does the above look like it will be able to fit into the K2 REST instance type?Hope someone can assist? Regards, Mike.
