Having a few issues recording data for a third-party reporting tool. Essentially I'm trying to piece together a method withInputs:ProcInstID[A few other manual inputs] Output (to a table):The above inputsWorkflowVersionWorkflowNameWorkflowFolio I'm able to get all of this information into my table except for the workflow version. Here is my current configuration:  I guess the real question is, 'Is there any method with a 'Read' functionality to return the workflow version number from the ProcInstID?' because it looks like the list is the issue here.
We just upgraded our environment to 5.2 Fix Pack 14. Under K2 Management > Licensing, Obsolete K2 SmartForms shows up as an entry besides K2 Five license. Is it safe to remove the Obsolete K2 SmartForms license from licensing screen? Does K2 Five upgrade now has single license?Â
In previous versions of K2 it was possible to load an HTML template in the Email wizard and the edit the raw HTML in the wizard. Is this functionality avaiable in Five? In Five, I can paste HTML into the email body but this is processed and modified by the K2 before the email is sent. This can result in an unexpected layout when the final email is viewed in Outlook Is there a workaround for this? Regards Allan
K2 Support has not responded to requests for help (I had hoped K2 support would be better than this). Regardless, I have to get this working by tomorrow morning. We had a code error in our MSSQL database resulting in creating 75,000 workflows with errors (yes, 75 thousand!!). I need to delete them as its totally killed our system. I know I can delete the version and therefore delete the workflows associated with it, but I'll lose the 300+ workflows that are needed and would have to restart them (difficult because there are many approval levels). Any ideas?
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!
Dear Friends, Can I get the relavent table in the K2 database for the below System generated smart objects Activity Instance DestinationProcess Data Audit  Thanks,Gelli
Hi Can someone confirm something for me. With the K2 Mobile App, the Image Annotation control could be used to take a photo or use an existing photo from the mobile phone library. From what I have read, with the new K2 Workspace App, the Image Annotation control is not supported (https://help.k2.com/onlinehelp/k2mobile/userguide/current/default.htm#K2Mobile/AppFeatures/Mobile-Features.htm%3FTocPath%3D_____3). With new Workspace mobile app how do you replicate the scenario where the User clicks a button > Takes a photo? Is this what the Image Attachment control will do? Note: This is not something I can test as we do not have the mobile app set up as of yet.  Thanks, Conrad
Hello, I have a list with K2 event receivers attached to it. When I edit individual items on the list, say through the normal sharepoint edit form or via a k2 form, the appropriate event receiver for the list item fires off. However, when I am in the "datasheet" view, which allows for you to edit multiple items at once, the k2 event receiver for the list does not fire off. We are currently in the process of upgrading K2 Five (from 4.6), and I have a user that is requesting for this functionality. Is this something that should be possible in K2 Five, or no? Thanks in advance.
I have a picker control that appears after a user selects a specific answer from a radio button control that takes awhile to load and when it does the expand arrow does not appear to work. It will populate the control with the values from the SmartObject but when trying to expand the control it won't work. Any suggestions? Using K2 5.1 on prem.
Hi there. I’m at a new company using K2 Cloud for the first time. I came from 5.2 on prem. This happens to me a LOT...Look at the screenshot for the designer view for the item view I’m working on. Notice anything missing at the top? The toolbar for the cell formatting as well as the tools to change controls, set the view settings, etc. are GONE.   I’ve had to completely exit out of Chrome (yes, using Chrome) to get these to come back, and even have had to completely reboot. Anyone else have this issue? If so, how do you fix it easily? Thanks, RobÂ
I have created a K2Five application and I want to move it on another server. Is there a way to export this application and import it on another server?
What is best practice for:I have a TEST environment SQL database and a PRODUCTION environment SQL database. I created some views/forms using SmartObjects that were service instances of the TEST SQL database but now that I’ve completed testing the views/forms, I am ready to use the PRODUCTION SQL database. Will I have to re-develop all of the views/forms with the PRODUCTION SQL service instance, or should I just replace the TEST smart objects with the PROD smart objects? Or is it possible to update the server within the existing TEST service instance or would this break everything? I am just trying to figure out what my options are without having to completely re-develop since everything will be the same (views and forms); the only difference being, instead of modifying our TEST SQL database with the K2 forms, I want to modify our PRODUCTION SQL database.Here is an example for further clarification:Let’s say my form asks for Name and Email. I am using a SmartObject to store this data in
If I create Task A and that task has been assigned a role, Role A that has two (2) people in it. The expected behavior is that the task gets sent out to the two (2) people that are within Role A. This works just fine. Here is my real question... IF Task A has sent tasks out to the two (2) people in role A and AFTER the task has been sent out, the membership to that role has changed, does K2 add or remove task assignments to users based on the changes to Role A? So if I added a person to Role A after Task A was sent out, will the third person now have access to action Task A? If not, what is a workaround for this?Â
I have a workflow where I want to spawn multiple workflows underneath it. Using K2 Designer, is there any way that I can force all sub-workflows from the parent-workflow to stop?The one possible lead I discovered was the SmartObject K2 ManagementWorkflowManagementManagementServiceStopProcessInstances However, this requires the user to have Admin permissions against the workflow, which we cannot grant as it would allow them to do things like delete the entire workflow. Also, I tried creating another K2 Management service instance using Service Account credentials but it ignores this, and switches automatically to Impersonate.  Â
I am using a step to update a list item to add a link to the item in the url field, but there is no way I can see to set the display text field of the URL. Is there a way to do this?
apparently when i look at an activity report the workflow instance folio field should be filled with the title of the form , but this does not seem to be the case ?
The user complains that when they click on negative space (white space) on the form, sometimes it happens to be within a choice checkbox area and accidentally one of the checkboxes is checked or unchecked, and sometimes they don't notice (eek). Is there any way to configure it so that only clicking on the checkbox text or checkbox itself changes the Choice controls value?
I am using a data label with an expression containing HTML to bold part of the text.   When clearing the view using this label, it clears the expression, so that I need to use a transfer data to reload the control. Even with this, I am seeing bizarre actions on my form. Sometimes when the form first loads, the data labels are not displayed. When I refresh the browser, sometimes, the data labels do not show on the form until after refreshing the form multiple times. I also have a rule that when a control is changed, I set the properties on an expression. This does not always execute. It seems to work if I click back and forth on the same control, but if I click somewhere else on the form, and then come back to click on a control, it takes two clicks on the same control to know that it is changing. This does not seem normal behavior to me. Any work arounds to the rules someone can suggest? BillK
Hi K2 Community, (K2 5.2)Can anyone please let me know how to send an email reminder for a dynamic users list which will be filter out based on other parameters. I can send the email for unfiltered resultset using JOIN operator and All items as a collection but not for filtered result set. Attached picture.ex: I want to send an email reminder to a deparment heads whose list coming from a smart object where it consists of user FQN varies depends on region.  thanks in advance.Arjun.
Hello,how can i deactivate or delete the infobutton from the window that opens if i use the picker? regards,Marcel
So I'm trying to combine worklist items with SmartObjects. To do so I'm looking at `server.WorklistHeader` table. Am I right thinking that this table contains all active and only active worklist items? This table contains a very nice column `https://our-k2.com/Runtime/Runtime/Form/Form+Name/?SerialNo=48_80&_state=State` that I will definately use. What I'm trying to figure out is this part of the url `SerialNo=48_80`. 48 - obviously is ProcInstID.80 - seems to be ActInstDestID, according to column value To find a current assignee i'm looking at table `ServerLog.ActInstDest` where ServerLog.ActInstDest.ID = server.WorklistHeader.ActInstDestID ServerLog.ActInstDest.ProcInstID = server.WorklistHeader.ProcInstIDIs this correct?
Can iireset operation repair and/or replace the missing codebase ="code" automatically from the K2HostServerProd.exe.config? Thank you in advance.
Hi,We are using k2 five (5.2) FP14. After changing address in K2 Management from server name to more user-friendly address I cannot login to management, designer or workspace from that server. After 3 tries i get HTTP Error 401.1 - Unauthorized. I don't have any problem in using designer or management from my workstation. I have no idea where to start. I tryed to google it but didn't found an answer yet.Â
Dear All, I have just installed k2 5.2 so please forgive if this one has already been covered. I'm just after some thoughts on the best approach to creating smart objects on K2 five. I've noticed that you can't define the location of the smart object upon creation and it ends up wherever K2 puts it in relation to the broker. Before in SOTT I used to rename and place the SMOs in the folder structure for the app I'm working on upon creation. Now it seems I have to create it, locate it, rename it and then move it. I don't mind doing this of course but I was wondering what everyone else is doing? Thanks
Hello Community,I have created some very helpful quick search filters for one of my forms (about 8 different custom filters). I understand that other users using the form do not have the ability to use my custom filters because they are user specific, however I was REALLY HOPING maybe you all had a better solution/Hack to allow other users to use the filters (other than the obvious… having the other users manually create all 8 filters on each of their user profiles).  Any help is very much appreciated :).Â
