Having received great advice and responses on my last question regarding setting up a custom SQL Server database to host content, I have some follow-up questions. First, a quick overview: We're outgrowing SharePoint and have decided to stand up a new SQL Server 2016 database to host K2 content (totally separate from our K2 app database) We're using K2 Five on-premises and our database will also be on-prem within our firewall We have Active Directory on-prem, synched to Azure ADQuestions before we create the database:Is SQL Server 2016 Standard edition a good choice or is another option recommended? Does K2 care about what the new database or server is named? In one of our K2 classes, we learned that either Impersonate or Service Account would normally be used to connect to SQL databases. Is one recommended one over the other? We want to ensure we’re setting up proper permissions to the database. I assume Impersonate would require granting large numbers of AD users read/write permission

We just got K2 Cloud and I am learning and working on our first app and already have a question I hope you all can help me with.I have a Form created with a field called Employee title. I made a rule in the Form inilize section where I Execute a get method on SmartObject for Azure Active Directory. 

My K2 Admin said that they added a number of different Active Directory domains to K2.  However I'm not being able to pull them from SmartObject Methods..   I couldnt find much for K2 about adding multiple domains.Is there anything in particular I need to do?  Create a new method? SmartOject?

We have a List view using the Method for Workflow Reporting Service (List) : List Activity Instance Destinations and the Finish Date shows 1/1/1900.  When I go into the view and attempt to create an expression to replace the 1/1/1900 to a null value the field is locked out and says I can't use it because of circular references. Is there a way to make that show as null if it hasn't been updated ?  

Evaluating the maintenance impact when reusing SmO across different view/formsIf a SmartObject is shared with 5 different SmartForms and an additional field is added to the SmartObject, do all 5 SmartForms need to be updated to extend the view even though only 1 form would use the new field? That's the take away from: https://help.k2.com/onlinehelp/k2five/userguide/5.3/default.htm#Create/SmartObjects/SmOConsAndBestPractices.htm%3FTocPath%3DCreate%7CSmartObjects%7C_____13 Impact of editing and deleting SmartObjectsEditing and then saving a SmartObject creates a new version of the SmartObject. If you've used the SmartObject in a view, for example, you must make changes to the view to include the changes made to the SmartObject. For example, if there is a view called Region Details which uses the Region SmartObject, when you edit the SmartObject to include a new property such as Cost Center Code is added, you must update the Region Details view to also include the new property.

Hi, I have a process which uses Lithium theme for the main form but at certain points in the form process it opens a 'subform' to a different list.I want the subform to open using a different theme to lithium so it appears seamlessly as part of the pop up window (ie, all white), but I have discovered that even though I set a different theme on the 'sub form', ie; Offcie 2013...  the function of opening it in a subform action seems to adopt the theme of the main (parent form)... which looks a bit silly and not very fluid. I have managed to find the css to manually get rid of the parent theme panel header on the subform, however there is one last style css that ie developer tools is failing me on and I just can't find! QuestionDoes anyone know what the CSS style is for the shadowed box around panels on Lithiumk (not the actual panel border, but the shadowed panel wrapper?  So that I can set a datalabel expression to 'display none or at least change the colour to white? Thanks :-)   

Hi, I have an approval form which actions a worklist item in a workflow and at the same time it passes two values from the approval form and puts them into datafields with in the workflow. This worked fine for the initial two datafields I created, but recently I have added a 3rd datafield and mapped this into the rule configuration and I continuously get an error stating "Datafield can not be found" so the rule will not run. I have attached 3 screenshots to confirm that the datafield can be seen clearly in the workflow and shows up on the config screen, so I am a total loss as to what is different to the 3rd datafield I have added?Any ideas what this could be (the workflow/forms etc have all been deployed,checked in etc). Thanks if anyone can shed any light, it is driving me nuts lol Julie :-)

Hi,  I have a  requirement to start a workflow based on certain condition.  Condition is to start a workflow , if any file is loaded into a folder path.

Hello, I have a form I made where a user can select multiple approvers by adding a new line to an editable list.This list is it's own smart object and it pulls the ID of the request and saves it so that my workflow can get the list of all the approvers for this ID during the workflow.I am trying to setup a list view to show all previous requests for the form and if someone was an approver for that ID to have the request appear.Attached are screenshots of the form so you can see there is one view to enter all information which is its own smart object, another for attachments which is it's own object and the approvers which is it's own object.I'd like for an approver for the request to see any request they approve but I've tried a few different things like using a list box but that didn't seem to work. Is there an association I could make that could have the approvers appear for the request?

How to create pdf of specific tab of a smart form?

Hi, guys, do anyone knows what is the name of the service instance and the Smart-Object, that is associated with the Server.WorklistHeader table in SQL?  Regards

Is it possible to have a static control at the top of a K2 list view, similar to how you can freeze panes on Excel? I'd like to have a button control there that allows users to add the selected item to a form, and if that button stayed in place as they scrolled through the list view so they can always access it, that would be ideal. I haven't come across any way to do this.

Hi, I have created a smart object whose data is supplied by a SQL Server Service Instance. The SQL Server Service Instance authenticates by SSO. Things were working well until the user account that the service instance was using to authenticate had a password change. In K2 Manager, I updated the password in the service instance configuration to the new password (and a confirmation appears indicating successful connection). However, back in K2 designer and runtime, if I try to launch anything that uses this particular service instance, I get an error: Logon failure: unknown user name or bad password. I have searched around for an answer, a couple of articles suggest caching is the issue, but the suggested solutions are for a much older version of K2, ("K2 Workplace", what is that? we are using K2 Five) and the instructions just don't sync with what I see. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks

Hello Community, I am seeking to create a secure design environment for our K2 Five Citizen Developers.  To do this I want to create a seperate and secure Web Application and then only allow users to CD's to develop in that environment.  (I know the best solution would be to create a seperate and secure development farm but unfortunately this simply isn't possible).  Is it technically feasible to isoltae use of K2 Five tools to one seperate and secure Web Application? Thanks! Tom

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.

Hello community, Starting here and there is something that I don't understand.I'm working on a workflow started by a form. So I've a SmartObject (SQL) linked in the form that I can use in the workflow. I have later added fields to my SO but I can't manage to get those later fields in my diagram. I only get the fields that were present when I intially associated my SO to my diagram through the form. Am I clear ? Any Idea ?
