Hello, In K2 five workflow Designer, which porperty of a client task should be set, in order to retreve expected duration using K2 API?By K2 API, i mean WorklistItem objects properties, such as ActivityInstanceDestination.ExpectedDuration or EventInstance.ExpectedDuration.I used Deadline and Due date, but those are not setting up those properties. Thanks

I need to be able to increase the height, specifically image size in a list view.  The image is coming from a SQL table.  Thanks for your help!

Ok, depending on who you talk to, you get a different answer. My question is, we are on K2 v4.7 and are aiming to do an in-place upgrade from v4.7 to v5.3 Can we download the K2 v5.3 installer and use that for the upgrade, or do we have to upgrade to v5.1 first, then upgrade to v5.3 The v5.3 installer on the Downloads page says this: Installer can be used to install a new environment, upgrade to k2 Five (5.0, 5.1, or 5.2) or upgrade an existing K2 blackpearl 4.7 environment. K2 Support tell me that i need to go to v5.1 first, then to v5.3, but the Installer for v5.3 say it can be used to upgrade an k4.7 environment. So what is it, what is the offical answer here? Thanks

We just upgraded our environment to 5.2 Fix Pack 14. Under K2 Management > Licensing, Obsolete K2 SmartForms shows up as an entry besides K2 Five  license. Is it safe to remove the Obsolete K2 SmartForms license from licensing screen? Does K2 Five upgrade now has single license? 

Has there been an improvement on identifying/compare changes between versions of a complex process?The 4.7 version of file changes on each save that it's not fesible to do text comparison easily. 

Hi all, We are working in a project were we need some AD infromation like department. We found that there is a SMO called AD User that seems to have some information like country and department but it does not have any read method. Is ther a way to work with more detailed information from Active Directory? Thanks in advance

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, Does anyone have the new link/help document for creating custom themes in K2 Five?Kind RegardsPrineel

Brand new instance of K2 Five (5.2),I was testing the smartstarter applications a bit just to see how much modification they would require to apply to my environment. I installed the "Change Management" SmartStarter, and the "IT Asset Request" smartstarter. I then tried to delete them (through the workspace, same place where I installed them), and it removed them from the Apps list, however in designer, all of the components are still there, the smartobjects, the forms, the views, the workflows, they are all there. On top of that if I try to re-add the apps from the catalog, it tells me they are installed. Is there any way to fully remove the apps? I don't want to manually delete all the components. They seem to be in deep folder structures and I thought removing them would delete the components. I have attached some screenshots in case they help. Thank you

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 am currently running the App on an Android device. I cannot work out when the App decides to send a push notifications? Is it on a timed interval? Is there a specific scenario that needs to be met? I'm wondering if anyone has any information ofhow the push notifications are designed to work for the K2 Workspace App? I have done several tests with the workspace app running, minimised, phone locked, phone unlocked to see how long or when a push notification comes through. I cannot identify a pattern. It seems to be intermittent at the moment, unless I am missing something?

I am trying to create a workflow that sends an email with some info and a link that is dynamically generated.K2 now has the ability to directly render HTML in the email step, and that works perfectly if the link is not dynamic and does not need to change, but if the link needs to change, there's no way to do that because if I press the <>HTML button at the top right corner of the editor, it just wipes the editor area and does not show any code. So I have no way to edit the code of whatever rendered HTML I paste in.Has anyone found a way to make this happen? The first screenshot is the rendered HTML, the second one is after pressing the HTML button on the corner

I have a scenario where user is using radio buttons in a list / grid view and some of the answers have 2 and some of them have 3.  I'm finding it extremely difficult to align the answers.  SEE IMAGEWould like - consistentYes  |  NoYes  |  No   |  NAYes  |  NoYes  |  NoYes  |  No   |  NA How it looksYes  |  NoYes           |  No          |  NAYes  |  NoYes  |  NoYes           |  No          |  NAIs there an easy way to align these??  I've tried setting width and such but upon different screen sizes and / or PDF Generation the longer answer ones disappear.I would prefer not having to split these into individual radio buttons in different columns.  This is a form with save as draft options and attempting to program that in for each set of answers would be tedious and they are trying to stay as OOTB / No code / No configuration as possible.
