I have a rule that fires off when a print button is clicked. I want to be able to use this rule to change the form's theme to something that shows up better when printed. I added a "Set the Form's properties" action, but in the configuration, the theme property is greyed out and unable to be altered:  Is this always the case, or is there a way to change a theme in a rule?

In the legacy workflow designer, I created an Expression to build a SharePoint document link that--when clicked--opened a Word document in the browser (versus downloading it and opening it in Word). I'm rebuilding the workflow now using the modern designer and can't figure out how to create a similar expression. Here's what my expression looks like in the legacy designer: Document Link: Left(Document ID (Link to Document), LengthToComma)LengthToComma: Find(Document ID (Link to Document), ,) -1 I tried setting variables and can get parts of it, but I can't get the LengthToComma formula to work with the "-1" bit at the end. Kept getting character mismatch-type errors. I couldn't find a way to do expressions in the same way in the new workflow designer.  Anyone have any thoughts?

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

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

We have a group of people receiving task notifications in email. The first person opens the email link, which brings them to workspace and loads the task.  They complete the task. When the second person reads their email, and clicks on the link to the task (which is already completed), they get the error message that the worklist item could not be opened. Obviously, we cannot unsend emails.  Does someone have an example rule where there is error handling to put out a user friendly message that the task is 'Already Completed'? It would seem to me that K2 sending out emails to groups would encounter this all the time.  Our groups use email, when the other alternative is to have everyone have K2 workspace being refreshed several times during the day. Looking to stay out of K2 workspace all the time if possible. Can anyone offer a wonderful suggestion? BKlaege

Hi I have a a number of different groups based on the work that will contain a number of different Office 365 groups that is being resolved and each user is receiving a task this group . I need the task to move past the decision and execute a SMO call for every user and not have to wait for the others to respond. How can I setup a custom task result that does not wait for all responses but moves on and executes that next step in the workflowHelp Please!! 

When I route a work item to a specific user, it should get removed from all others queue. So that assigned person will work on the item.For example, workitem1 can be viewed by User A, User B and User C. When A assign it to C, the  work item should get disappear from queue of User A & B.How do we set this ?

I know that the picker does not have a "NOT CONTAIN" filter, sadly for us all as it would be quite helpful.However it does have a "NOT EQUALS"       With an exact match it should have worked in filtering it out, but it does not.Is that an issue you guys have found by any chance?

 Hi, So, I'm trying to put some basic logic on two calendars. Select a check-in date on Calendar1 and then if the check-out date has not been picked yet, or is before the check-in date, on Calendar2 then move it to the day ahead of the check-in date. Everything works, except for when Calendar2 has not been picked. If you look at the attachments I've got what I think is pretty sound logic and I've checked for just about everything I could possibly think of. Anybody know why it's failing? TIA.

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 am working on an application which is in K2 4.7 . Our organization needs to Migrate to K25.1 . However before migrating I wanted to access what are the impact of it and what would be work required. Please let me know the steps to follow:   1) Migrate all the servers to K2 5.1 2) Fix the broken component in the dev server . The workflow are expected to break but can you please specify the exact components that are expected to break. Also what tool do we use to fix the broken component. 3) Once the component are fixed, we need to package using K2 5.1 P&D tool. Deploy it to the Production server.  Is this all we have to do ? Also I wanted to know what would happen to the In-flight workflows in the Production server.  I have workflows that are using SmartObjects , will that break if the SmartObjects are migrated. o be followed. Are the below steps sufficent.   

Hello, I am having some trouble assigning workflow tasks to multiple users entered into a picker control.I am wondering how I should parse the data that is saved when approvers are selected so I can send a task to each user selected.I need to send these tasks to AAD users so AAD security label is needed.I have no issues if one user is selected but if 2 or more users are selected I am running into an issue sending a task to those users. Thank you,Nick Shouse

Hello, I am trying to add the account number column from a different smart object to appear in a list view for another smart object.In the attached screenshot is a view of the main request and the list view below is all the related entries to the entry above.I am wondering if I can have a column that would show all the account numbers used for the request in a column as opposed to having the user click the entry to show all the related requests.

I have a form that isn't displaying in the workspace window. If I open the email link that gets sent, or if I click on the Open button on the bottom right of the workspace window, I can get the form to display in the browser. I just can't get it to display in the "inbox" window within workspace.  I've tried adding the site to Compatibility view, as well as adding the URL to the trusted sites in IE and still nothing. Just the popup along the bottom of the window that says "Only secure contect is displayed" and a button to click to allow unsecure content. If I click it, the page reloads and nothing happens. This is happening in both Chrome and IE It works just fine in my dev environment. But once I moved everything to prod, I started to get this weird behavior. Could it have something to do with the fact that production is a secure site, and dev isn't?

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?

Hi I have a form that is uploading files to a sharepoint doc. lib. but needs to be able to upload the files to a subfolder, which can be 2-3 subfolders. I can get all of the subfolders from a dropdown get folders, but when the file is uploaded it is creating the folder at the top folder, then uploading the file into the newly created folder, instead of uploading the file to sub, sub subfolder. How can I either display the full path in the dropdown and then have the file get uploaded to that third level subfolder. 

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 

Hi All, is it possible to display a message on form redirection. Eg: when filing a form and if navigating away from the form accidently by click on a link in the form, we should pop up a message like 'Are you sure? you will lose your data' We are using K2 forms in K2 Five for SharePoint app.  Thanks!

This may have already been answered. Does anyone have a good general-purpose SQL query to provide a list out of the K2 database of workflow errors?  I'd like to set up a smart object/view to monitor ALL my workflows for ones that error out.  This is what I've come up with so far: select top 100 percent e.id, p1.FullName, date, e.descr, itemnamefrom k2.Server.ErrorLog einner join k2.ServerLog.procset p1 on p1.ProcVerID = e.ProcIDorder by date desc  And it works up until the point a specified workflow gets modified, then the ProdID from the error table no longer matches the ProcVerID on the procset table.  There's an "Object ID" column on the ErrorLog table, but I can't figure out what that joins to.  All I want to get as a result set is the name of the workflow and the date of the error the item name and the error description for the actual WORKFLOW, not hte current version of the workflow. Thoughts?   My guess is that this is pretty easy...I'm just not finding the right table to join t

Hello,Our business has an old database table which stores/contains files using VARBINARY(MAX) as the datatype.  It is my understanding that this datatype is not supported in K2 Five and thus I cannot create a SmartObject on this table and display these files using a SmartForm.  The goal is to somehow migrate these files out of the current database table, and upload them into a different table in the format that K2 recognizes.  Which, from a DB perspective using VARCHAR(MAX) as the datatype, looks something like this - <file><name>NameOfFile.pdf</name><content>iVBORKh.….</content></file>My question is….what is the best approach to achieve this objective?  Can .NET code we written to somehow cycle through these old DB records/files and upload them into our existing table via a K2 API? Or even call the existing table’s own SmartObject from .NET code in order to upload the files?Thanks,Kyle
