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. 

Hi all, Hoping somone can assist or point me in the right direction. I have 2 date/time fields (start and end) for a booking request form, im trying to ensure that the form forces users to provide an end date/time field greater than the start date/time field specified.  Whats the best way to achieve this?

Hi,  I have a smartobject call that can take quite a long time to be finished. (it slices a PDF file into images and zips this on the server). Logically the size of the PDF will directly influence the duration of the smo call. We have come across a file that takes just under 6 minutes for the server to process and thus for the smo to return its properties. That is not an issue in itself. When I execute through the smartobject tester, I get the return properties after the estimated 6 minutes. But in the browser I get errors in the console. Already after a minute or two I get the first errors, which keep repeating themselves after every minute or so. The redlined error appears when the server is finished (CPU goes back to idle, files are created). The view spinner just keeps on spinning and the rule execution has come to a stop. When I do the exact same thing with a smaller PDF, it all works just fine.  Does anybody have experience with issues like this (which appear to be some kind of t

I'm trying to retrieve user's task list using example documented here . The problem is I only get tasks that are assigned directly to me. I don't get any deligated/shared items. How do i get them?

I have a picker control that appears after a user selects a specific answer from a radio button control that takes awhile to load and when it does the expand arrow does not appear to work.  It will populate the control with the values from the SmartObject but when trying to expand the control it won't work. Any suggestions? Using K2 5.1 on prem.

Hi,My K2 experience has always been with K2 5 and we recently upgraded to K2 latest version (3.5). One of the benfits of K2 smartforms over SharePoint forms is the ability to show and hide columns on a form dependant on a condition or control choice (great experience for end users). However, I keep noticing that if I hide a 'text' control then it will hide the control but not collpase the row so I end up with a 'massive blank space at the end of the form between the visible columns and the 'Save button and attachments section. When hiding other controls such as a drop down, it does seem to behave as I would expect and fold up the form canvas for end users so that the save/attachements appear directly under the the last visible control ont he form. Is this a bug? I am reluctant to put in a support ticket if this is a known issue but it's really ruining my form design and not sure if there is a fix to get around it? Thanks Julie  

I’m a K2 admin for our company and I’m trying to figure out how I can determine the original destination for a task that has been redirected. I’m often asked who redirected a particular task to another user but I haven’t been able to find a way to see how the first user was. Is there a way to do this either from the Management Dashboard or from the database tables?

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 can't see view flow of new workflow created in k2 designer. When i'm trying to check view flow from management i see error:"That page doesn't existLet's retrace your steps...(http 404 error)"Workflow and error are both in attachment. Is it some problem with workflow server -> table strings or environment library?  There is no error when I'm trying to see view flow of legacy workflows.

Hi All,I am getting below error while refreshing sharepoint instance. This was working fine and suddenly started giving error. I am able to browse the sharepoint list using browser with the same service account, but not through K2 Smartobject service tester tool.Error screenshot

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

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

I wanted to know that is the new version of K2 still having the Smart Object Tester Tool? Since the new Designer has combined many other tools and features from 4.7, is this tool still active OR has it been replaced with some other tool? I found this article on the Coummnity which says for previous versions also it wasnt seen by default and had to be accessed from the path mentioned in answer :http://community.k2.com/t5/K2-blackpearl/Smart-Object-Tester-Tool/ta-p/76845Is it so in Five as well?

I would like to count the number of times a user task has been completed. The task will be sent to all company staff so I want to know what percentage have completed the task. The task relates to a specific document reveiew so once the workflow is complete I will be able to add a percentage completed value against the document field in Sharepoint.I would like the count to occur within the workflow after the task has expired (after 21 days). While i could count the task completion via a form, my preference is to do it via the workflow so staff don't have to log in. My strategy is to send the documents via the task notification email and then request the user to reply to the email using the task action. I have tried using the Acticty Instance Destination SMO (in Reports) but a cant seem to retrieve any data using a Create Reference. Any suggestions would be welcome.

Hi, I am trying to double click an item in a list view and have it populate an item view on the form (ie, select and load the data into the existing form open). I found a good article explaining this here: https://community.k2.com/t5/K2-Blackpearl-Forum-Posts/In-List-View-how-to-link-to-Item-View/td-p/71548 However it uses the 'Load method' which I don;t seem to have when I use a 'execute a view method'? Have they changed this or is it called something else now?   (attached screen shot of my options) If there is a different way of selecting an item froma list view to populate an item view, please let me know. Thanks, Julie :-) Using K2 Five

Hi all, I seem to be having issues adding a specific view to a smartobject. The view itself is made up of two tables joined via a Union. When linking to smartobject it is unable to pull in any of the properties or methods across, even when I attempt to create them manually. Anyone ever seen issues like this?

K2 is unable to process the smart action approvals. It is working fine, if the approvals are through the form. Can you please help on this. Thanks,Pradeep

Hi, I come across issues where it would be really useful to have access to the smart object tester tool (where you can also create new service instances etc). This tool we have on our server but I don;t have server access, so is it possible to have this tool installed on my local machine instead? If so, is it a downloadable file? Thanks, Julie

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.
