Nintex Automation K2

 We have a workflow that after multiple approval steps generates a PDF from a URL and saves the PDF to a network drive. The workflow does not error but the generated PDF is blank every so often. We have been unable to determine the cause.Any insight from the community would be greatly appreciated!

My K2 Admin said that they added a number of different Active Directory domains to K2.  However I'm not being able to pull them from SmartObject Methods..   I couldnt find much for K2 about adding multiple domains.Is there anything in particular I need to do?  Create a new method? SmartOject?  

I had success in previous CMS tools where I could have a red character count shown to users after they started typing into a memo box of sorts.Is there a way to display / show number of characters remaining in a textbox area? If I set the max to 256 and it does a count down. Thank you in advance!

Can iireset operation repair and/or replace the missing codebase ="code" automatically from the K2HostServerProd.exe.config? Thank you in advance.

Hi,  I have a  requirement to start a workflow based on certain condition.  Condition is to start a workflow , if any file is loaded into a folder path. I am using File System Service smart object  to check if the file count is greater than zero using Getfiles Method. But the workFlow is not getting started. Any help is greatly appreciated as there is no enough documentation on how to start a workflow based on smart object value. Thank You

Hi All, any idea to add in comment/remarks beside the work flow?

I have a workflow that I made changes to in designer, but I want to revert all those changes how do I do that? I want the workflow in designer to replicate that of what the default workflow has without having to back and remove all my changes manually.

Hi  I recently upgraded to FP12 and for the first time thought I would try out the SmartStarters. I began to folllow the exercise to get started (https://help.k2.com/onlinetraining/k2fivecore/02/default.htm) Did not get very far - errored during first stepAnyone else come across this? I have administrative rights on this environment and get error even when with Service Account directly on the server.

Quick question, Where does the WorkList control get it's Date/Time region settings? In regards to displaying fields such as the Due Date. Simple I know - I might be going blind but I couldn't find format options against this control or a global setting in K2 Management? Thanks

Hi,After upgrading to K2 Five 5.3 we’ve noticed that the new sync service doesn’t refreshes user accounts or it does it in an unpredictable way. E.x. some users have expire date set in the past, and it isn’t refreshed even after calling UMUser.GetUserDetails.  According to the documentation: “If you want to refresh the cache items, set all three expiry dates to some time in the past for the each identity.” (https://help.nintex.com/en-US/k2five/icg/current/default.htm#Configure/IDCachePerfomance.htm?Highlight=identity%20service). What could be the reason? Kind regards,Piotr

Hello, I'm intrested, if someone can explain the diffrences between K2 Five and MS Flow in the subject of building an automated processes? I would appreciate any responses, that give comparison (+/-) of each solution - from technical and also business perspective. When and why is K2 better? Thank you.  

Using K2 Five, I created a Purchase approval process and I am getting a "Key could not be found in the collection" error after clicking the submit button on the form.Going in to the form rules, I notice that this takes place in the "Start the PR Workflow" step. When I click configure, there are 3 item references in the workflow input fields (Purchase req header, Purchase req details and attachements smart objects). The message goes away if I remove the Purchase req detail smart object but then the workflow doesnt start. This error wasn't there before and the form was working perfectly. could someone explain why this happens and how to resolve?Thanks,MAref

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.  

HelloI'm a newbie K2 FiveI need expert helpI created a SMO where I can enter user login and level.for exampleuser - access leveluser1 - 1user2 - 1user3 - 2user4 - 3....How can I set up a rule so that I can show or hide some element on a form for all users of the same level?How create condition for "if an advanced condition is true" rule?What is the best way to do this?

Looking for what the difference is between the set and populated events of the picker control in 4.6.11/4.7, and the order of events in the lifecycle of the control (for example, I understand the populated event occurs when resolving is completed, but I don't know where set fits in). Thanks and best,Tony

Hello Community, I have a service instance containing multiple tables. I need to combine data from 4 to 5 of the tables (in same service instance), it possible to create a Composite/Advanced SmartObject and join all the tables I need or is there a limit to how many sources/tables you can use OOTB? I have tried to do so unsuccessfully thus far. Any help or advice would be appreciated. 

We have a List View on a development environment that is using the list method from Workflow Report > Activity Location Destination.  Runs correct, we did not modify it at all. We recently packaged over into a new testing environment (no changes made on anything) and the same list method Workflow Report > Activity Location Desination is not generating records for anything new. The workflow is working -- as a side note. We are using this to display workflow information specific to a request entered. Any suggestions? 

Hi! We are trying to test the odata service with excel or Power BI to give our customers some buisness data reporting. We have some troubles configurating the odata service, this is reporting us an error when we select visible smart objects and when we access the o data url. This is the error: The culture 'Spanish (Spain)' is not supported.   Pluralization is currently only supported for the English language.

Hi, I have a scenario where I allow users to select multiple query types from a Smartbox SMO, which is a list of predefined query types. I have setup the picker control to Allow Multiple, Save as XML with ; delimeter. I also made the field a multivalue field in the SMO, yet the data does not save to the SMO. When the SMO is viewed in Management Site, the results are blank.  Any tips on how to trouble shoot? ThanksMarkusB

Hi, I'm very new to smartforms but getting the hang of them. When version 5 came out I'm sure i read that you can now apply branding 'skins' to the smartforms. I can't find anywhere in the tutorials or in K2 designer where to apply these?   I'm referring to the themeing of the 'Tabs', form background colour etc and not the styling of the fields themseleves. Thanks for any suggestions, Julie

Hello Community! As part of our governance, my organization is looking for a way to restrict Citizen Developers from creating Smart Objects, but still allowing them to create views, forms, and workflows.  Has anyone else ever done this?  If so then please provide guidance and examples.  Alternate suggestions about a governance approach are also welcome. Thanks! Tom

Is there any way to match the currently logged in user to a list of names from a picker? I have a list view and need to allow a certain group of employees read access to all submitted forms while locking this view down so that other employees can only see forms they've submitted. Is there any way to accomplish this? The picker that I have set up with this list of employees is tied into an advanced smart object

I'm trying to use smart object Activity Instance to capture the user name/id approved a task but the value returned blank. Could you help to identify which smart object I suppose to use? Thanks!

Hello, I recently upgraded to K2 5.2 from 4.7. I configured FBA site with all the references as mentioned in documentation. Now authentication is successful when I login. (I checked logs in DB that it is successful.) Ideally it should have been redirect to next page. But it remains on the same page.Also it does not show any error in console or on page.  Can you tell me where am I missing? Thanks,Nirav
