Nintex Automation K2

Hello, Yet another question from me. Is there a way to force Workflow into error when it runs out of options during the runtime? Currently when my WFs get into a situation they cant seem to resolve ( Say none of the split conditions apply, or there is no outgoing path) They simply mark themselves as Completed. That seems super wrong. I would like WFs to throw errors instead if they end outside of specified end steps. Is that possible ? And one more question. Is it possible to somehow configure WF to send an email when it encounters an error ? Currently we have to check for errors manually and that is annoying. Thank you and have a nice day 

After the latest update, we are missing the SharePoint Steps folder in workflow designer. They do however still show up using search. Anybody else having this issue?

Hello All,I'm trying to package a workflow but the Package and Deployment tools can't see the workflow. It sees another workflow, but not the one I've been developing. I'm packaging on a DEV server and I'm logged in as the service account to edit/publish the package. The account has the Package/Deployment Role in the management console. The permissions seem the same for the two workflows. So I'm puzzled why I can only see one workflow. Are there filesystem or other permissions that I need to check in order for the P&D tool to see my workflow? Thanks,-tomas

Hi All,I want to integrate the Workflow REST API with MS Flow but the feature when I click on it give me an error like it is not installed. I'm assuming I missed something when setting up the environment and thought I would throw it out on here while I am trying to dig through to find an answer. The error I am getting is "SmartObject property Name is a required property for selected method Load. Value must be set."   Here is the whole thing: Error SmartObject property Name is a required property for selected method Load. Value must be set. Type:System.NullReferenceExceptionSource:SourceCode.SmartObjects.ClientMethod BaseMember Type:MethodName:ValidateModuleScope Name:SourceCode.SmartObjects.Client.dllDeclaring TypeFull Name:SourceCode.SmartObjects.Client.SmartObjectStack Trace:at SourceCode.SmartObjects.Client.SmartObject.Validate(Boolean isList)at SourceCode.SmartObjects.Client.SmartObjectClientServer.ExecuteScalar(SmartObject smartObject, DataTable inputTable)at SourceCode.Forms.AppF

I realize docusign integrates with K2/Smartforms, however I dont have access to the product at this time and I need to have some way of approximating or indicating approval on a SF that will, at the end of the process be converted into a PDF and sent to an outside email recipient. I also realize that every person that has the approval task only has access to that task through K2 process rights/roles etc. I just need a visual way to indicate it was "Signed" like a digital stamp or watermark or something. Anyone come up with anything like that other than using Docusign? Thanks Dave

Hi guys. After installing K2 Blackpearl 4.7 (4.16060.2000.3) on a farm enviromnent with a configured NLB, on the configuration analysis all bullets get the green "OK" but in the end theres a K2 Installation Health Error on each server in the farm:"Unable to connect to <NLB Address> on port 5555. A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond."  Also, when browsing the K2 Workspace on each server, when we try to get the worklist, theres an error:"Unable to connect to <NLB Address> on port 5252. A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond."  Can you help. Has anyone here got this Error?  Thank you for taking the time to read this. Best regards,Luis Batista   

What is the best practice for granting temporary permissions to a user to add/update a list item on a SharePoint list.  Barring a better solution it seems that I would need tohave a SharePoint security group with the desired permissions in existance create a step after the task that will lead to an addition/update to the item that adds the task respondant to that security group Perform the add/edit create a step that removes the task respondant from the security group.If there is a better/easier way to do this please let me know.

Hi,We are creating our own K2 Performance Power BI Report. We are using K2’s Power BI report as a template.At a high level, I am currently trying to put together a line chart displaying workflow errors. However, I am having a problem trying to obtain the Error Date of a Process Instance. It is displayed within K2 Management:  However I cannot identify the field within any of K2’s built-in Workflow Analytic SmartObjects: I come across is the finish date field, but this is only set when a Process has a status of Completed or Deleted.What I need is simply the error date for all Processes with a status of Error. If anyone has could help, that would be great. Thanks  

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!

As part of a workflow, I need to assign a task to seperate teams depending on the value of a dropdown (17 entries). I am trying to avoid creating splitting the flow for each entry and am considering creating one task and assigning to the respective team using the recepient rule. My main query is: Does the recepient rule restrict access to the task ? If the rule sends the task to team 1. Will team 2 be able to access the task if they manage to obtain the link. Thanks in advance

Hello -  Please see attached PPTX  When I'm in the K2 Five Workflow Designer (SharePoint) and I've used the Context Browser to drag/drop fields onto a panel there are instances where by I am not able to see what the full name / reference of the field is... This seems to be prevelent when using a people field and using the Name | Email | Value of the field ... The fieldname gets left off ... Listname > FieldName > Email  ...  Is shown as  Listname > Email   (within the configuration panels of say set variables) Not a big deal if there is only one people field in the List ... If there are multiple people fields they all appear the same in the configuration panel where the Context Data is used. Example of Set Variables Step setting 3 variables...----------var1 = Listname > Requestor > Email ... becomes ... Listname > Emailvar2 = Listname > Manager > Email ... becomes ... Listname > Emailvar3 = Listname > Supervisor > Email ... becomes ... Listname > Ema
