Hi, I am new in K2.How to change or create new the workflow view of approval?I want to make buttons for approval and rejection and change the fields on view.

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?

Hi, When we upload a document to a Sharepoint Library (with major versions active) with custom metadata it always creates two versions: - 1.0 Upload Document- 2.0 Set Metadata This produces that if we enable some restore versions functionallity, users can restore v.1.0 (version without custom metadata fields filled). Is this the normal functionallity? Is there any way to avoid that and create only the first version? Thanks in advance.

In my list view a user can add multiple items which can each start a separate workflow to retrieve further information. When the workflow is started the status is set to pending, once finished the status changes to completed. When all items have a status of Completed I want another workflow to start. Is there any way to achieve this?  Example, if one item contain pending and another completed, user should not be able to submit. If both items are completed then the user can submit but I only want one workflow to start and not one workflow per item. Thanks.

Hi, I have created a smartobject directly from K2 designer, which has a few hundred rows of data in.I have a corresponding SharePoint list that will miror this data set, but wanted to know how I can get all the rows of data from the K2 SMO into the SP List SO. Is there a way to export all rows out  of one k2 SM and then import (create items) into another via csv etc?Or would the way to be to put a workflow on the K2 SO and then get it to scan through the K2 SM and create new item in the SP list? Scratching my head on this one as a newbie. Thanks, Julie :-)     

Hi,What is the version of Document Format.openxml library used in K2 5.3 ? Regards,Kathija

Hi, I'm creating a REST API with .NET, which I will be hosting on the same server as K2.I'm using the REST service broker for this - we're using K2 5.2. What I'd like to do is pass in the user's login name. Ideally without having to pass this in as a parameter to the rest service SmartObject, which could be manipulated.We can use impersonation to get K2 to pass in the users identity, but I don't see a way of making this work without setting up Kerberos, which is a dependency I'd like to avoid for just checking who triggered the request.      

Hi, We have recently upgraded to K2 five latest version and I have just realised that when in K2 Designer and I do a 'save as' copy of a view then it does not appear in the K2 Smartform 'View Selector'. Our base data is from a SharePoint list.The new view shows in designer but I can't select it and drag it onto a K smartform as I could before... only the 3 default views that are created by default are available to pick from OR views that are created new from scratch. The save as function we use a lot because we will build the format and layout in the New Item view and include all rules and functionality then do a 'save as' copy of this for the edit view and just change the 'Save button to do an update rather than a create new item.... this saves hours of time as many of our forms have 30 or 40 controls.Is this a bug or can we no longer use the Save As functionality for K2 views? Thanks, Julie 

Hello all,Anyway to move the workflows into a different category on the k2 management screen? I have accidentially been stacking all my workflows into a single folder (even though they are seperate in designer) as they have been grouped by folder name. I have tried renaming the folder in designer and redeployed the workflow but I am unable to move it.Any ideas to get the workflow to move to my correct category? Cheers,Martin

Is there any available & if possible detailed documentation for Workflow REST API via Swagger?The one i found is where we executed it using C# but i need to test it directly in swagger. Especially in /tasks/{serialNumber}/actions/{customAction}, for any available custom action also for userDefinedFieldswhich corresponds to the available customAction. Thanks.

We just upgraded from 5.0 FP14 to 5.1 FP12.  When users action an item and the form closes the browser tab, they are now getting an IE window popup that says "The webpage you are viewing is trying to close the tab. Do you want to close this tab?".  I never received this message when closing the brower windows through code in prior version of K2.  Only happens in IE 11 but not in Chrome.  Any thoughts how to solve this issue?

Hi Everyone, After chaning the Serivice Account Passwords in SharePoint and K2 we are getting this error.Any advise or ideas to resolve will be appreciated. 0 SharePointRoleProvider.GetContainers: System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException: An unexpected failure was encountered when contacting SharePoint to get information from the group provider Project Web App: The operation has timed out ---> System.Net.WebException: The operation has timed out at System.Net.HttpWebRequest.GetResponse() at Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.SPWebRequestExecutor.Execute() at Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.ClientRequest.ExecuteQueryToServer(ChunkStringBuilder sb) at SourceCode.SharePoint15.Client.ErrorTrackingClientContext.ExecuteQuery(Boolean placeContextInErrorStateOnFail) at SourceCode.SharePoint15.Client.CSOMFunctions.UserFunctions.GetContainers() at SourceCode.Security.Providers.SharePoint.Shared.SPCsomClient.SourceCode.Security.Providers.SharePoint.Shared.ISPGroupProviderClient.GetContainers(IEnumerab

We are thinking of making a new application where part of the functionality will be creating and editing AD Users and groups. I am wondering what our best options would be for our DEV and TEST environments, since these all share the same AD environment as PROD. Would AD LDS be a good option? And has anyone gotten AD LDS to work with the Account Management Service Instance? I was able to create a Account Management service that pointed to an AD LDS instance, but on executing Create User I always get an error message - "The LDAP server is unavailable". For the Create User - Name property in AD LDS I've tried servername.fqnusername, servernameusername, servername username, and I always seem to get the same result. 

I cannot figure out hot to send an email to a K2 Role. I can do it for a task but not an email. Anyone ever had luck with this?

Currently, I am using a List view in my Smartform which will pull data from the DB table and I am having a column of DateTime in that table. in my table, if date saves as *personal details removed* Then if someone opens Schedule in US time zone it will display the date as -1 i.e. *personal details removed*. but while in IST it shows as *personal details removed*How to resolve this issue. we are using K2 FIVE5.2

Hi, How do you add a clickable email on address a form? I've tried adding a data lable, adding the email address to text and clicking literal, but when the form is loaded, the email address is just liek regular text, any ideas? Is there an expression that can make it a proper clickable email address?

Hi, I already have logic to check if a User is on a Mobile Device (using an advanced condition against User Agent). This may sound far fetched, but is it possible to also check if the User is Offline? To clarify, the scenario for this would be if the user is using the K2 Workspace App and is in Offline Mode (or has no connectivity). PowerApps has this property exposed, just wondering if K2 does!  Thanks :) 

Hi,We have a new install of K2 5 (not an upgrade) and I was suprised at how few workflow actions there were until I noticed in the older version of K2 they had many Workflow wizards within the Workflow designer that provided a number of useful actions but we do not have these in our install?  Have they been withdrwan altogether or do we need to install an add on or similar? Here are the main ones we seem to be missing that we would utilise: Documents Set WizardGroups Wizard UsersWizard Active DirectoryWizard Exchange WizardWord Document WizardAll Permission Actions (On libraries, Lists and documents) A particular scenario I am trying to achieve is to convert a word document to a PDF and have it moved to a different library location, how could this be achieved without the ‘Word Document’ wizard which includes this action on the old version? Thanking anyone in advance that could throw me some light (total newbie sorry!).Julie :-)

I have a role that has permissions to a form. this role has an AD group in it that i also recently updated. The role is not refreshing to take into account the additional members of the AD group. when i test via the smart object tester i see all the appropriate accounts in that role. when i manually add a person to that role it works.

Hi I want to use regular expression to validate the value that a user entered  based on the value selected in a particular dropdownlist control.i tried to used logical expression i got lost please help. .the values selected in the "Type" dropdownlist must determine the value entered in the "Entity registration number column".please assume the "type" column is before the "Entity registration number column" see attached image to get an idea. TIA

Hello to allI come with a request which does not seem clear to me.Currently we work with K2 5.2 FP30 and Exchange OnPrem. This works perfectly and stable.Now our management wants to migrate to ExchangeOnline and I want to make sure that I don't miss anything.Currently, the names of Exchange servers or their DNS names are in the environment variables and the connections work.The SMTP sending of emails is handled internally, does this have anything to do with ExhcangeOnline as long as an internal server takes over the SMTP task?Or do I have to change the complete installation to ExchangeOnline?Just as a hint, we do not have SMO for Exchange in use. Only mail notification.I hope you understand my question.GreetingsStefan
