Hi, It would be useful to know which Views/Forms are checked out, checked out date and by whom in your organisation, via a List of some sort? Is this possible to do? 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.

Hi,    Im trying to store data from a workflow directly into a smartobject using the smartobject method (create method). I have an "ID" number field that needs to be auto incremented. Is it possible to create an auto increment in workflows or are there any functions available for this?

I have made the following method i a 5.2 invironment. In the first method call I check if the user is a member of a particular role using the IsUserMemberOfRole method.I use the output from IsUserMemberOfRole as input to the next methow call which throws an exception if the input is not true.This will stop the execution of the method if the user is not the member of the role I am checking since the method is set to stop the transactionon a fail, but allow the last call if the user is a member of the role I a checking since no exception will be thrown. This works fine as long as the user has been added directly to the role, but if the user is a member of the role via an AD-group added to the role, the method IsUserMemberOfRole returns false and the user is prevented from making the last method call - the read.Is there a way to make a call that returns true if the user is a member of the role EITHER directly OR via an AD-group?

Hi Guys, Two quick queries related to the From Address which K2 uses when sending email notifications. Question#1 - Changing the From AddressAm I right in thinking that all I need to do is:1. Open K2 Management2. Navigate to Environment Library > Amend the From Address entry 3. Navigate to String Table > Amend the From Address entryAs this is K2, is there anything else I need to do? Like restart the server or update a DB table? Question#2 - Multiple From AddressesIs it possible to have Multiple From Addresses on a single K2 server? This way the From Address could vary, based on the type of workflow?  Thanks!

Hi, Is it possible to have a text box with entry restricted to the following: A Fixed Letter and 9 Numbers only So the first letter must show as P (cannot be altered and be set for the user), then the user can enter any combination of 9 numbers (can't be any less than or more than 9 numbers) Thanks 

Hi, I know you can do multiple file attachments to an EMAIL using K2 Studio, but is this possible with K2 Designer? I have a form which saves multiple files to a Smartobject, and i want to attach those files to a an EMAIL Action in the form. The files are also saved with a GroupID, so i can use that GroupID as the INPUT on a Get List Method, but there is no RETURN all RESULTS option in Designer to attach the files. Any ideas how i can do this? I don't want to use a Workflow, i want to try and do this within the form?

Has anyone migrated from the Worklist.sdk to the REST API ? We use the Worklist.sdk in Javascipt within a form. We have upgraded from K2 4.7 to 5.2 and can no longer use the Worklist.sdk. I have looked at the K2 documentation and I can not understand how to use the REST API in my JS. Any help or examples greatly appreciated. My existing JS code is shown below Thanks Kevin We use the following JS to get a list of tasks, and then iterate through our list views, using folio value, so the rows with associated tasks go pink containing hyperlinks to the task. < script >var worklistProcessed = false;function callWorklistService() {if (worklistProcessed) {return;}var environmentCode = document.domain.substr(0, 2);var URL = "https://" + environmentCode + "-k2runtime.northumbria.ac.uk/Runtime/Runtime/Form/My+Documents/Worklist.sdk?" + Date.now();jQuery.ajax({type: "GET",url: URL,dataType: "xml",contentType: "application/xml; charset=utf-8",success: function(data) {var xmlDoc;if ($(data).fi

Dear all, My name is Adhitya and I'm new in this K2 Five.I desperately need some guidances, advices, or suggestions about the K2 issue implemented in the company I worked for.I'm currently experience issue cannot open or access the K2 SmartForms, it keeps loading and finally timeout.This also happens when opening the K2 Management as well as K2 Designer, so basicallay the K2 is completely inaccessible.When I check the event viewer, I got a plenty of messages saying "61012 Exception from message source *personal details removed*: System.Net.WebException: The operation has timed out" under application log and another messages saying "Exception: System.Web.HttpException (0x80004005): Request timed out." under Application and Services Log -> K2 logBtw, *personal details removed* is the service account we use to run the K2 services, and it is a domain account, not local server account.I believe this relates to the service account used by the K2 services, but it was working fine until end

Thought this might be useful for someone... We're moving to K2 Cloud and I have a SmartObject that needs to be updated. K2 will tell you which views are built on a SmartObject but not the SmartObjects that are used in the rules.  This SQL will return the usages to you but if you change the last line to a guid like a View or Form GUID, it will show the usages of those objects as well. SELECT [ContextID], [VIEW].NAME [View], Form.Name Form, A.DisplayValue, ValueFROM(SELECT [ContextID], prop.query('data(Value)') as Value, prop.query('data(DisplayValue)') as DisplayValueFROM [Form].[ActionItem] ACROSS APPLY Properties.nodes('Property') as x(prop)) ALEFT JOIN [Form].[View] ON [View].ID=A.ContextIDLEFT JOIN [Form].[Form] Form ON [Form].ID=A.ContextIDWHERE CONVERT(VARCHAR(MAX),A.VALUE)= (SELECT TOP 1 CONVERT(VARCHAR(38),SmartObjectGUID) FROM SmartBroker.SmartObject WHERE DisplayName_XML LIKE 'MySmartObjectName' ORDER BY Version DESC)If you need to search checked out items, change FROM [

We are doing an invoicing process where we auto assign tasks to end users. We have an escalation process, however we need certain admin roles to be able to search the current tasks (which we have) and pluck certain invoice tasks redirect them to themselves to work. However when they choose to redirect a task not assigned to them they can redirect to everyone but themselves. Any ideas?

Over the years we learn that Sharepoint, K2 and other systems save their configurations in Databases. however sometimes perform a change in the Configuration Database is not as easy as we would imagine. Mutliple components from a complex solution got buried in multiple places, especially when a cluster or multi-farm server solution gets involved. For those cases I would said is a "Best Practice" the usage of SQL Alias in the servers that will connect to the Database. allowing always reference to the main Database Instance via the SQL Alias. The main benefit start with the simple DB upgrade which changes would just mean change the SQL Alias entry from the original DB to the new upgraded Database Instance or sometimes even moving Databases to a new hardware without have to go to all the trouble of affecting the configuration of our software. Our case is basically 3 K2 Servers, [ DEV ] , [ TEST ] and [ PROD ]. each one has his own SQL Alias to their respective Database [ K2DEVDB ], [ K2TE
