I am working on a workflow that the Originator gets to select the master manager to approve their work. There is a chance that this will then be Redirected to another manager.  My workflow works fine if the redirected manager either approves or rejects the work.  The issue is when the redirected manager decides that the Originator needs to complete rework.  When the Originator submits the changes again - the tasks and the notification go back to the master manager and not the redirected manager. I have tried to do the selection of the redirected manager from within the form, but I could not even successfully get the task to the redirected manager.  Is there a trick to updating SmartObjects when a redirection occurs to update the related field?  I guess I could continue down the workflow rather than looping back to the first step - but that seems like a lot of extra work that should be avoidable. 

Hi,We have a new install of K2 5 (not an upgrade) and I was suprised at how few workflow actions there were until I noticed in the older version of K2 they had many Workflow wizards within the Workflow designer that provided a number of useful actions but we do not have these in our install?  Have they been withdrwan altogether or do we need to install an add on or similar? Here are the main ones we seem to be missing that we would utilise: Documents Set WizardGroups Wizard UsersWizard Active DirectoryWizard Exchange WizardWord Document WizardAll Permission Actions (On libraries, Lists and documents) A particular scenario I am trying to achieve is to convert a word document to a PDF and have it moved to a different library location, how could this be achieved without the ‘Word Document’ wizard which includes this action on the old version? Thanking anyone in advance that could throw me some light (total newbie sorry!).Julie :-)

Hello All,I'm trying to enable Workflow REST API. I've gone to the Management tool and enabled the Workflow REST API there. I'm presented with a Swagger URL and a Base URL and both appear to be correct. But then I click the icon to view the  Swagger information, I get this error message:{  "Message": "The Workflow API in K2 has been disabled, please use K2 Management to enable it."} Is there something else that needs to be done (aside from flipping the switch in the Management interface)?Are there other pre-requisites?Did we miss a step in the setup process? Any insights are appreciated. Thank you,-tomas vera 

There seems to be a problem with insufficient memory in the K2 Five VM provisioned in the past few days. Soon after starting the VM, I get repeated "Insufficient Memory" warnings in the VM, and after a while the Remote Desktop disconnects. When I try to reconnect to the VM, I get error message "Because of a protocol error (code: 0x112f), the remote desktop session will be disconnected. Please try connecting to the remote computer again." Sometimes the connection terminates without an error message.  When I reboot the VM, I can connect to it again, but the process repeats itself: Insufficient memory warning, then I can't connect anymore I did a Google search on the error message, and I found some threads that support my hunch that the problem is related to insufficient memory in the terminal server The specific VM is C-171-AZPAZP5RB.cloudapp.net:3389

Hi, I am a  complete newbie and just working through the K2 5 tutorials, but on all 'task' email alerts the smart actions do not appear as hyperlinks. The 'worklist item' does work OK if I leave it at the default one that appears on the initial email, although if I added this manually to the email via the context list then that doesn't link either. I am read a similiar thread in regard to this issue, but that thread seems to be about the links not performing the actions after being clicked, I can't get mine to hyperlink to start with, any ideas? Heres the email output:From: K2 BlackPearl Server (test) Sent: 26 July 20*personal details removed*:48 To: Julie Bird <*personal details removed*> Subject: Document Submitted for your approval: Dummy 1.docx Dear Julie Bird, A document is awaiting your approval.

I have a form with several views yet the undrlying SmartObject covers all the views on the form not individual views. I added a property  Cost center, to the smart object  and added the property to one views. When doing this There wer No fields in the view in left panel I could add. So I manually  mapped thr field it back to the smart object in the rules configuration, Yet when I execute the form and implement the create method in the code, all the data is saved but the new field Cost Center is not. What steps have I missed or what is going on?  

Hello, I have a list with K2 event receivers attached to it. When I edit individual items on the list, say through the normal sharepoint edit form or via a k2 form, the appropriate event receiver for the list item fires off. However, when I am in the "datasheet" view, which allows for you to edit multiple items at once, the k2 event receiver for the list does not fire off. We are currently in the process of upgrading K2 Five (from 4.6), and I have a user that is requesting for this functionality. Is this something that should be possible in K2 Five, or no? Thanks in advance.

Hi, In the list below, I am trying to update the % Complete column on the 'top item' to say 100% (which works fine) but I would like it to then go through all the list items with the same 'Master Process ID" and update the % Complete field on all of them at the same time. I've been playing around with the 'SO method of updating unchanged items, but think I am barking up the wrong tree as it is asking for a single ID? Any suggestions for the best way to achieve this?  Thanks :-) 

Hi, I need to implement item click event in the k2 tree control ?? Please support. Br.Mahjoub

Is there a way to join 3 SmartObjects into 1 Method??  I am running into issues once I join my third one. Basically I have the following SMO. EnvironmentTable -  ID / FormIDSafetySMO -  ID / Form IDFormSMO - FormID / Description I would love to join all of them together into a composite SMO with -MAIN FORM ID (IDs from Environment / Safety)  / FormDescription  And show all values from the Environment / Safety.   Like a SQL Join. I can create individual Methods to display  Environment + Form  /   Safety + Form  and they display correctly.But when I try adding a third it breaks. Or can I display both methods onto 1 view?

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. 

Since old farm was running K2 5.2 on WS2012 R2, we stood up new servers running WS2016 and added them to the existing farm running 5.2. We then removed the old servers from the load balancer and turned off the K2 services.  Now that K2 was running on the new servers running WS 2016, we upgraded the farm to 5.3. I read somewhere that K2 Five automatically disables old nodes that don't respond.  I've already removed the licenses from the K2 Management portal.  Can anyone confirm if we still need to work with K2 Support to remove the entries from the database?

hi, We currently have our attendance forms on a printed piece of paper. Employees write their names and then affix their signatures beside their name. I'm looking at creating a K2 form for this. The process I'm thinking is, user enters their employee ID, this would then lookup their ID and name from database and displays in the form. User would then have to sign beside their name. I'm stuck at how to capture their signatures. I've read about K2 integration with DocuSign. However, I'll need to have a paid account with DocuSign right? I also tried the image annotation control but it looks like our company's tablet that will be used for this is not supported by this control.Is there a way to do this without having to subscribe to DocuSign or any paid account? thanks

How do I execute SSIS package from K2 Five?Below is my approach:K2 Five calls Stored Procedure Stored Procedure calls SSIS package(s) SSIS package(s) could possibly call other SSIS packages SSIS Package(s) returns execution status to a SQL Table or Stored Procedure K2 reads the execution status to perform other actions within Workflows or SmartForms Here is the issue: I need restart certain SSIS packages if they failed to execute. How do I accomplish this?

I have 2 listviews on a smart form. I need to filter 2nd listview by selection or item click in 1st view.

Hi, I'm getting 500 Internal Server Error when trying to open a workflow in K2 Designer.Please see attached image. Can anyone help please on why this error is showing? It's happening on a quite  few workflows that I have. thanksAaron

Hi guys, i have a SmartObject property called Emails which contain two emails with ; seperating them, so i drag in the Email control on my workflow to my Task recipient but task only drop for one email instead of the two emails 

I have a workflow where I want to spawn multiple workflows underneath it. Using K2 Designer, is there any way that I can force all sub-workflows from the parent-workflow to stop?The one possible lead I discovered was the SmartObject K2 ManagementWorkflowManagementManagementServiceStopProcessInstances However, this requires the user to have Admin permissions against the workflow, which we cannot grant as it would allow them to do things like delete the entire workflow. Also, I tried creating another K2 Management service instance using Service Account credentials but it ignores this, and switches automatically to Impersonate.   

Hi, The method Restore Version included in Sharepoint integration does not allow to insert version comments, is ther a way to add this comments or it's necessary to checkout and checkin the document? Thanks!

What is the best way to back up applications (forms, views, and SmartObjects) so that I can revert to a previous version is necessary?  

HiSomething happened with the K2 server, errors below.I tried to do the configure (setup.exe), it did not help.How to restore all rights? 

Hi,  I was setting prod environment in a similar way to our development environment and created connection to Azure Active Directory. Everything works fine, but there is one difference - executing SmartObject UMUser on production with method "Get Users" returns Manager property just with manager's name ("name"), without security label. In our development environment, UMUser returns Manager property with both name and security label ("AAD:name" for example). I attached the screenshot showing this differencies. Could anyone know why this field has differencies and what can I change to have manager field as FQN?  

Hi All Does anyone get the same issue as me whereby any formatting changes you make on a Choice control dont have any effect when you run the generated SmartForm. I.e. If you change the font size, style, colour etc it changes  OK in K2 Designer but when you run the SmartForm it makes no differnce thanks
