Right now i am confused whether service broker and service instance is same or different.Is there any difference in both of them?

How can you redirecttasks to a group similar to assigning them. It seems each redirect to others row can only be an individual and not a group. can this be made to do a group similar to assigning the task the first time? i have attached a scre

  Good evening. I have an question about some possebilities for resolving values from Smartobject. We wanna create a control (textbox, picker or something like that), which can resolving a values when user writes text in this field. A closest solution to this, is usage of picker, but there user must click an Enter button and click on unresolved element and only then picker control shows to user possible choises of information he inputted. We tries a different ways, like rules on control changed, but we failed again. Control work should be like this - user starts typing some info, for example "VAS", and picker without clicking additional enter button get list with possible choises based on inputted info. For example list displays to user - "VAS Latvijas valsts radio un televizijas centrs","VAS Autotransports lv". User can click on one of theese suggestions and recieve data that SmartObject contains with this choise name (VAS Latvijas valsts radio un televizijas centrs). Is there some me

Good morning As new users of the K2 platform I am still learning best practice in building workflows, however current feedback for our deployed processes is overwhelmingly positive! One issue I have is that if a task recipient is absent and has not set an out of office (reasonably common place), I would like to give the originator the choice to redirect the task to a recipient with appropriate authority. At present, if the recipient hasn't actioned the task within 1 hour, the originator receives an email to remind them that the authorisation task has not been actioned, which is merely a prompt to check with the recipient. There may be a valid reason that the step takes longer than an hour (due to urgency or workload etc.) so it's not simply  a case of routing the task back to the originator after a period of time.  One solution seems to be that the originator is copied into the task but this routes the task to both recipient and originator and seems a bit scrappy. Is there a way that I

Any user in my SharePoint Online environment who has edit rights or greater can create smartobjects, forms, and workflows. In the old system I could control this by now allowing the user to have designer solution access but now that option has been removed. I have blocked users in the management from access desginer but they are still able to select the K2 dropdown in a sharepoint list or library and go to applications and select smartobjects, forms, and workflows. They are blocked from modifying those but are still able to create them. Anyone have information on how to restrict access to everyone except a select group of people in creating these items?

Hi All, I have an SDA connection into our network and i'm attempting to access the CRM. I am able to telnet to the CRM server and the actual connection is working but I am now getting an error message of "The authentication endpoint Username was not found on the configured Secure Token Service." I've searched the web for information and I am not getting much help for the articles. My crm version is 20*personal details removed*.1.1.1005. Can anyone provide some direction on making the connection given the specific error? Thanks,Ben

Hello Community! I'm researching K2 Five for SharePoint, and I was told that this particular design tool (i.e. K2 for SharePoint) is only available in SharePoint Online, but I don't see anything in the literature I've found so far that suggests that this is true. Can you help me clear this up? Thanks! Tom

Hi, I have my first solution that I have succesfully deployed to live, basically a new form that starts an approval process when the save button is clicked. However, only myself as workflow author can succesfully submit the form, everyone else either gets a message saying the user does not have rights to to start the workflow or they get no message, but it just 'whirrs' and doesn;t progress (ie hangs). I have set the workflow rights via the manament tool and everyone has the correct rights, but I have set this on our test server and have deployed the package from test to live. Am I also supposed to add these rights to the workflow on the live server (if so this could be the problem), or should the packaged solution include the workflow rights I have applied on the test server? Any thoughts, bit pointless if only I can use it lol

After installing K2 Blackpearl,I'm facing some issue with MS VS2010.    "The 'WorkflowPackage' package didnot load correctly.   The problem may have been caused by a configuration change or by the installation of another extension.You can get more information by running the application together with the /log parameter on the command line, and then examining the file 'C:Usersvishal_singh12AppDataRoamingMicrosoftVisualStudio10.0ActivityLog.xml'     How to fix this error? 

Hi,  I am trying to create an editable list view in trial K2, But it seems like the trial version is not saving any records.Is this like a limitation for the trial edition? after adding multiple records    Any help is much appreciated, I am fresh to K2 platform. Thanks in advance,

Hi I have created a SQL Table and have added the SQL SMO to a form using the create method and now I am not seeing any Output mappings the methods on the right hand side are all empty. what have I done wrong, is this a SQL table creation problem or what have I done here wrong. any help would be great!

For my task assigments I'm using roles for easier administration. There are times where I want to send a message to the same recipients without assigning a task so I'm using the 'Email' step. Annoyingly it seems the recipient field on the 'Email' step doesn't allow selection of a role for receiving the message.  This means if I want to add a user to receive a task and receive emails I'll need to add them to both the role, and hardcode them directly in the workflow. The other option is to configure a distribution group for the email side of things but it still means group administration needs to be done in 2 places. Workflow Roles and Distribution Groups.  Is there any way of getting roles into the email step? Also, I realise I can work around this by assigning a task with a notification and a very short expiry time but this seems like a really simple function that shouldn't require workarounds like this.

How can we override the theme styles to change the font family ,size and other styles for all k2 controls in the form. Please advise.

Hi,    I am trying to get the sum (addition) of all selected items from a multi-select control and pass the total into a datalabel on a button click rule. The control is populated via a smart object and uses a decimal data type. I have tried creating expressions, but I cannot figure it out. Any help would be appreciated.     Kind regards  Prineel 

Hi all, I'm scratiching my head as to how to achieve this: I have 2 SP Lists.                       List 1 is for recording new employee details.                      List 2 is for adding various people that need an email alert when the a new item is added  In very basic terms whenever an item is added to list 1, I would like the workflow the "scan through" all the list items of of List 2 and send them an email notification (these is an email column set in the list). Thought trains....A) My first thought was to create a reference in the workflow on List 1 to get all list items and try and extract the email columns into a data field in the workflow and use that in the email send to field, I only got as far as creating the reference! B) My current thought train is to put the email workflow on each Item of List 2 and have it trigered on 'updated'.However for that to work, I would need a way of automatically updating a dummy column in all items in one go in order for it to fire the workflo

The Reports link in the custom workspace is directing user to Settings.How can I correct it? 

We recently installed K2 Five and I have completed most of the tutorials. However, when looking at the first list of workflows that we wish to create, over 90% of them do not have the originator submitting to their direct supervisor.  This example is nice, but I'm looking for guidance on how to create approvals that go outside of the Manager-Employee relationship. For example, the most important workflow that is on my slate to complete ASAP is one where the end user is picking the advisor they are creating the report for so the advisor can indicate if the report is ready to be published. This is not their supervisor. While I am able to get the drop down to show the names of the Advisors by using a service instance of Azure, if I use that field as the recipient of the task, nothing happens and the instance of the workflow ends at that spot. I need to get a win with K2 as soon as possible and figuring out this part is vital. Are there any other tutorials or examples of different kinds of

We have a form that collects a single attachment and stores it in a SQL database.  Data type for the attachment field is an nvarchar(max).  This works properly and the attachment is stored in the DB as a collection.  However, we want to then send that attachment attached to an email.  I tried using a Reference to that SmartObject (to the SQL table) but that didn't do anything.  No attachment on the email but no error either.  I then tried adding a direct SmartObject to the Attachment field on the email, passing in the ID to that row in the SQL table, returning the Attachment field.  No luck there either.  I'm definitely getting the right ID for that row (because i see it in reporting attached to the variable) but i just can't get the attachment to go through. What am I missing? 

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.

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.

Hi there.   Is there somewhere in the 5.2 workflow designer that allows you to drag the Smartform Runtime URL into something like an email body?   I'm trying to create an e-mail that will reference a form and provide the URL to open the form, but can't seem to find the enviornments library to do so.   Thoughts? Rob 

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
