Hi, We've run into this issue whilst using the Lithium theme. See the post below: https://help.k2.com/kbs100118 Our users were experiencing the close 'X' button dissapearing in both IE11 and Chrome. The IE 11 issue was at 100% zoom and only affected one user but in Chrome the X would dissapear when zooming below 100%.  After investigation I've fixed it by making the following change to the CSS. So, if you run into this issue try this fix:Edit the "Theme.css" file for the Lithium theme (and I'm assuming for any other theme where this issue is experienced) :.theme-entry .dialog .popup-header-wrapper > .wrapper > div{ position: static; right: auto; left: auto; display: inline; /* fix for disappearing X close button */ float: none; vertical-align: middle; /*override - base*/ /*override - base*/ /*override - base*/}.theme-entry .dialog.sub-view .popup-header-buttons,.theme-entry .dialog.sub-form .popup-header-buttons{ width: 72px; /* Fix for missing

Hi, I have just deployed a solution to our live environment which is quite a big solution in that it has a fair bit of logic in the forms, although the workflows I don't think aren't that complex.The issue I have is that this is the second solution I have deployed to our live enviroment and the forms TAKE AN AGE to load..... It's really bad! Before I go into doing a screen recording of how long it takes and doing endless screenshots of my forms logic, can I ask what server/disc/ram etc resources you all have in your SharePoint environment to facilitate quick load of K2 solutions in SharePoint?Thanks

I am currently recreating all of my K2 4.7 workflow in K2 5. In 4.7 when creating a user task you could set the destination rule options as "Plan per destination - All at once" and specify a single slot. Then add a destination set with mutliple K2 Roles. The effect of this is that when the activity instance was created in the workflow it would produce a single activity instance destination regardless of the numer of users/groups or roles, thus creating a single serial number that can be acted upon by numerous individuals. In K2 5.3 I am abale to find any mechinism to replicate the behavior. No matter how I configure the user activity I get multiple activity instance destinations and thus mutiple serial numbers. Having a single activity instance destination is a critical aspect of the interaction that I am using from a custom application that interacts with the K2 via the API. Is there any way to replicate the behavior and produce a single activity instance destination for multiple role

Hello Community, I have a requirement to assign tasks to multiple departments (~10) and multiple users that are assigned to those departments.  I can create a loop and fire off a sub-workflow, however there is a secondary requirement for all of those departments to finish their tasks before the WF progresses.   Does anyone have any ideas around this?  The only short term solution is to split, create the multiple tasks then merge. Thanks.

Starting to dabble more with the new K2 Workflow designer, can anyone advise how to do this: Send a Task email to an AD Group, but only those users within that AD group that match the Department of the user submitting the form? The receiving group should get a link to open the form and add comments and approve it with a click button on the form, so i don't want them to approve the request by replying to the email with "Approve" or using the awful worklist. I am used to using the legacy designer for this using destination sets and doing a smartobject lookup using the dept as a match, but the new workflow designer is a mess to work out. Any ideas?

Hi,  QueryWhen configuring the security against categories/objects in the designer, is the security cached in some way? IssueIt appears that recently added K2 Roles are being ignored by K2's security model.I recently created a new K2 role with one user and configured security so that this new role has allow access. The new role is ignored, therefore the user is denied access. If I add the same user to an existing K2 role that already has access, there is no issue, it works.. user has access ScenarioI open K2 Designer, then right-hand click the parent category to view the Security, I can see that the following K2 roles have Allow access:Role A Role BI then decide a new role is needed:I create a new role in K2 Management called Role C I add a new user called BobI then ensure Role C is granted access to the app:I edit the security in K2 Designer, I add Role C with Allow accessI then test the security:I ask Bob to try to access the app, he is denied. Test failsI add Bob to Role A instead:I

Could anybody advise help I am trying to create a workflow that works of a list view to send a reminder.  I have a list of contracts and I want to create workflow that send an email to the contract owner 6 months before the expiry date, then one 3 months before the expiry date and a final one on the expiry date itself. I have a list view which holds these dates and can create the schedule in the Workflows section of the Management Suite which triggers the workflow when the current date agrees to the 6 month, 3 month and expiry date. In terms of the workflow I know I need to create it to loop down the list view and when it finds a date (in the the list view) that agrees to today it sends the email. The bit I am unsure about is how to configure the workflow itself Could anybody provide advice or screen shots to help me construct the workflow Many ThanksAndyR

So I need help thinking of a way to solve a problem. I have a drop down that I need to change the options of and I would like to keep backwards compatability. As an example I have a drop down with options A, B, C, D. I need to change the options of this drop down to A and E. The problem is that for all past requests in my application that used the first set of options (A,B,C,D) the drop down should show with the old set of options and all requests that use the new set of options (A,E) the drop down should use those options.  Most of the time the old options (A,B,C,D) will be shown in a drop down that is read only. How can i acheive this?If I need to explain more please let me know.
