Hello, I have a workflow where a user can enter multiple dates into a form and these different dates then are stored in a multivalue field with a ; delimiter.The issue I am running into is the dates are appearing in a YYYY-MM-DD format and I'd like them to appear in a MM-DD-YYYY format instead.I've attached screenshots of the rule I use to save the dates in the multivalue field.After the user completes the task I use a reference to get all the dates they just entered and then join them using a ; delimiter using the join expression.I've tried using the format date and time expression but that just turns the values into the default date/time 1/1/0001.I've also tried formatting the list view to view these multiple dates to short date but that doesn't actually change the format of the dates.What can I do to display these date values in the multivalue field as short dates in MM-DD-YYYY format? Thank you,Nick Shouse

We've been testing one of our smartforms in multiple browsers and have noticed that Internet Explorer (IE11) appears to be overriding the font style of our form (with the exception of the Lithium theme). Many of the text elements of the form seem to be displaying by default in Times New Roman.  I was wondering if anyone has had experience with this issue? Within IE's accessibility options I have made sure that ignore font styles specified on web pages is unticked. It is possible to forcibly set the browser's font from Times New Roman to, say, Arial, but it's not a viable option if this needs to be done to every device using IE. Any help would be great, thanks.

Them using the random number experession to generate 8 numbers that corresepond to a characters position in the string. The bit I am struggling with is the expression to get the nth number in the string. Can anybody advise on how to get the nth charchter in the string or even if there is a better way to do it . Thanks  

Hi  I recently upgraded to FP12 and for the first time thought I would try out the SmartStarters. I began to folllow the exercise to get started (https://help.k2.com/onlinetraining/k2fivecore/02/default.htm) Did not get very far - errored during first stepAnyone else come across this? I have administrative rights on this environment and get error even when with Service Account directly on the server.

I would like to check if there is out-of-the-box IBM MQ Service broker for K2. Scenario : Put/Get message to/from IBM Message Queue.

The Reports link in the custom workspace is directing user to Settings.How can I correct it? 

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?

I have a control that contains multiple values, i.e. AV, Shades..., based on the content a rule either hides or shows other controls based. Is there a way to check for two or more values without having to re-write the rules for each value?

Hello each otherWe have been working with K2 for 1 year and are still building the first workflows.Besides, we are still in a domain change from 2 old domains to a new domain. Here our problems with K2 start.We have a workflow that assigns tasks to the users based on a group assignment. Now a user in this group is migrated to the new domain and loses all his old tasks. Only the new tasks are correctly assigned to the user again because I enter the new user into the group during the migration.We work with form-based group assignments, not the role-based assignment of K2.Now I would have to reset all running workflows in their activity for the new assignments so that the assignment is recreated again. This would cause all statuses in the affected workflows to be lost and reprocessed by the admin groups.Now my question here before I reset all workflows: If I redirect the task to the new user in the management view, will all employees involved in the activity be excluded or will only one u

So there have been a few posts regarding JavaScript libraries but it never seems like they are conclusive.I have tried to use a few external JavaScript libraries but they never work, even with CrossSite Scripting turned off (in K2 Five since anything before that does not have that option). My latest attempt is trying to utilize a javascript library called SpaceTime that allows conversion of time to different timezones.I have attached a really small script for converting the current time to Eastern Time, and the script works if you open it in a browser, and it works anywhere else javascript is interpreted, but if I stick it in a Data Label and set it to Literal, it does not work.I have also tried to use other external JavaScript libraries before, such as the Google Charts library, Charts.js, and others, but they never work. Am i misusing it somehow or is it just not supported?

Dear Fellow K2 Developers, What seemed like a simple operation has turned into a bit of a mind-numbing mess. I have a List View of user accounts. These accounts are a blend of external users and domain users. I want to be able to filter that list to only show acounts whose email addresses do not contain our company URL. (so any user with an email from a public domain) In the filter settings for a list view I have the option to filter by addresses that contain a certain string, but not to filter by addresses that do NOT contain a certain string. I have spent the past day messing with expressions and rules to try and find a workaround... But am having no luck. Has anyone else come upon this problem? Any help is greatly appreciated! Best regards,~ Andrew

I have an Editable List View that I have the Add, Edit and Delete buttons availalable on the toolbar. I also have rules setup for if a row is clicked or double clicked to then open as Edit. I am almost using a Sum aggregate to total one column. I have this setup as outlined in the Expense Claim Tutorial (without having to use currency codes).  My issue is that if I have entered an amount in the row, I am not able to then use the edit button when that row is selected and the click/double click rule won't open that row to become editable. If the amount column is empty, all three edit options work perfectly fine.  Included is a screen shot of the view I have. The rows that have Sue Marie and Ellen I cannot go back and edit.  The reality is that someone can easily make a mistake in the amount and I need to be able to have them edit that row.  

In my list view a user can add multiple items which can each start a separate workflow to retrieve further information. When the workflow is started the status is set to pending, once finished the status changes to completed. When all items have a status of Completed I want another workflow to start. Is there any way to achieve this?  Example, if one item contain pending and another completed, user should not be able to submit. If both items are completed then the user can submit but I only want one workflow to start and not one workflow per item. Thanks.

Hello - I have a SharePoint Multi-line text area (plain text) that users enter 1 value per line... Is it possible to use the K2 Five workflow split function with the separator being the newline vs. a character ( ; or | )? If so, what would the newline representation be?  ...... or a chr(XXX) value? Thanx !! Jeff

Hi there.   Is there somewhere in the 5.2 workflow designer that allows you to drag the Smartform Runtime URL into something like an email body?   I'm trying to create an e-mail that will reference a form and provide the URL to open the form, but can't seem to find the enviornments library to do so.   Thoughts? Rob 

I am new to K2, and I have been tasked with create a new option set field that is to be placed on the input form.  I am not sure on how to create this field.  Do I need to create the field in the database table first?  What steps do I need to do to complete this?  Thank you in advance. 

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 :-)   

Is it possible to use a picker control to transfer data to a list view? The user can select a single product from the picker list and I want the multiple item details relating to that product to populate in to the list.  Thanks.

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 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?

Hi all, I'm scratiching my head as to how to achieve this: I have 2 SP Lists.                       List 1 is for recording new employee details.                      List 2 is for adding various people that need an email alert when the a new item is added  In very basic terms whenever an item is added to list 1, I would like the workflow the "scan through" all the list items of of List 2 and send them an email notification (these is an email column set in the list). Thought trains....A) My first thought was to create a reference in the workflow on List 1 to get all list items and try and extract the email columns into a data field in the workflow and use that in the email send to field, I only got as far as creating the reference! B) My current thought train is to put the email workflow on each Item of List 2 and have it trigered on 'updated'.However for that to work, I would need a way of automatically updating a dummy column in all items in one go in order for it to fire the workflo

Hello, I have a performance issue with using the UM User SO. Every time I run the SmartObject, it takes around 3 seconds to execute. This happens only when using the Azure Active Directory Label.  My understnandig is that the system Should use the identity cache in such scenario to retrieve the users list, which should be rather fast. This was tested straight from the server, so it should not be the network issue. Also the Azure AD smartobjects (which I suppose are reading straight from Azure) are running much faster (around 0.4 s to get all the users). Is there any way to debug/workaround such issue? Thanks
