Hello,Usually after creating a List View and enable list editing in K2 Five, there is an added row below the previous list. I think this row is supposed to be a row of textbox matching with the data label above.In the previous version (K2 4.7), our late programming team use data label to replace a few of the textbox. How I can achieve the same result? I try to add manually a data label, It show the same result as the previous version. but when I switch the Field properties, the data label on the bottom turned into textbox.

Hi, I have a process that is all but complete but have a niggling issue that I just can't troubleshoot, I don;t see at all how I can be doing something wrong, so before I turn to a support ticket, does the following ring a bell with anyone? IssueI have a display form which has an 'Edit Button' on which I have set a rule on to navigate to the edit form. I first used the straighforward 'Navigate to another form' rule and later tried the 'navigate to another form and execute a method' .... but both have the same result and whilst it DOES open and load the edit form and calls in the data, a message flashes up as follow: "List ID is required when specifying Site Url." If I open the edit form via the edit option on the SP list (ie, without going through the display form first) then it opens fine without any error message. The edit form does have two people pickers on that need a site url in the configuration but I have set this up in the resolving rules (tried both the site collection url an

Are there limits or restrictions on how many columns a list view can have? Running into some behavior on a list view populating from a Stored Procedure (35 columns) that the list will take forever to load and open up.  Sometimes the view will open and sometimes the view will error out and not load at all. If the stored procedure / smartobject is updated with new column - the view seems to error out and then I'm forced to create a new view / expressions / functionality and add it to the form again. This does not seem pratical.  Basic function I need this for is because I need to export the data into an excel file.Anybody else having this behavior or suggestions.

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

Hi there.  I'm attempting to follow the instructions to add some newly purchased licenses to our existing stock.  Step 1 says: Start installation sequence for the K2 software (or retrieve the System Key referred to below from the K2 Service Manager if the software is already installed).    I'm not sure what that means.  How do I get the system key?  I think I know the rest of the steps, but what is the K2 Service Manager referred to below and how does it give me the system key?   Thanks, Rob

HiI am having a editable list view where 3 columns are there.2 read only and one is editable. It retrieves the data as per id. If for a perticular id,one row is retrieved and if I have to update the one column in single row ,its not updating While if 3 rows are retrieved,then the updation is done properly. example: for id =30code   version  stat------------------------------7877      1           7879      27800      3 for id=40code  version stat7801      1          Here for id =30, I am able to update rows as if I add value for stat in one row and if I select  next row,the value gets updated but for id=40,if I change value of stat and as there is no other row to click on , if I click outside also value didnt get update.Only after pressing Enter key then the value getting updated.Please help me in this regard.Rule  attached.

If working with the rule designer and searching an event, condition or action one uses the search field. At the moment the search text is stored for every tab (Events, Conditions, Actions).It would be very nice if the (before) entered search field would be automatically marked and the search field would automatically have the focus if the tab is changed.At the moment if I change the tab and I want to change the search-term (which is needed in 99%)  I have to mark the old search term and write a new.If the search field would have the focus and the (old) search-term would be marked I could start typing the new search term immediatelly! That would speed up the process of rule creation a lot for me! RegardsViktor

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 All I'm sure this can be done but cant put all the pieces together...For the project I'm working on I'm not sending custom email for tasks instead of using the default task notification mesthod.  Therefore I'm constructing a custom URL for the users to click on to open the task.   As part of this I want to be able to pass the Folio value as a paramtetyer in my URL and then have the smartform get the value when the form is opened and save into a datafield. Any ideas on how to achieve this? thanksPaul

Is there a way I can view someone else's inbox in their K2 workspace to see what tasks they have assigned so I can troubleshoot something. If there's an alternative way to do it in K2 Management then that's fine. I don't really want to go into every workflow we have to see, just want an overview. 

Not sure how to fix this. I double-checked all the rules related to the form after the submit button is pressed. I checked all the mapping for the smartobject to datalabels. Still get this error. The form has an editable list view. The header of the editable list view is where Period label, Cost local label, and Cost CHF labelappear -not columns or body. Thanks in advance.

Hi, We just modified K2 config to connect from K2 Mobile using AAD credentials using this post: https://help.k2.com/onlinehelp/k2mobile/userguide/current/default.htm#K2Mobile/Configure/UseK2MobAuthAAD.htm Now we can login from the mobile app but then the app show us a screen asking for permisions for K2 for Office365 Mobile: https://help.k2.com/support-services/kbt139601 What we have to do to give permissions to this app? It has to be done for every user that uses the app? In the K2 help there is an article to give permissions to K2 for Office 365 app but not one for K2 for Office 365 MOBILE: https://help.k2.com/kb002052 Thanks in advance

We are currently running K2 5.2 (5.0003.1118.0). To get to the latest, we're planning on applying:1) K2 5.2 May 2019 Cumulative Update2) K2 5.2 May 2019 CU FP 41We have 3 environments that we will be upgrading - Dev, Preprod and Prod. Our plan is to deploy to Dev, test cycle, then upgrade to Preprod, test cycle, then upgrade to Prod. This will likely take 3 weeks to complete. We have ~30 Prod workflows: 5 in K2 Five (app and workflow) and 30 legacy (migrated from K2 Blackpearl workflows, using ASP.Net front end forms). My question is for work going on during this time, could there be any problems with deployment version mis-match (either in K2 Five or our legacy workflows)? The example scenario is: we upgrade our Dev environment first. We have a solution that needs to be promoted from Dev, to Preprod to Prod. We create a deployment package in the upgraded Dev environment, and want to deploy it to our un-upgraded Preprod and Prod environment. 

In K2 4.7 we were able to let a workflow be started periodically (e.g. once a week at a given time)Now in K2 5.0 we are missing this posibility. Is it not possible anymore or did I just not find it yet?

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 :)
