Nintex Automation K2

 Hi everyone. Today we are going to discuss integration between Skuid & K2!We are combining Skuid’s powerful front-end customization with K2’s robust process automation & data management capabilities together.To digest this information easier I wanted to create a 3 part video series on how you can achieve this integration. The first video I am releasing today describes how the integration works and provides a demonstration of the two platforms working together.Further videos will be released in the coming weeks, so make sure to check back here and subscribe to stay updated!I also want to give a HUGE shoutout to Andy Hayes, Chris Stern, Sam Alexander, and Jason Roberts for their help on this project.If you have any questions please feel free to reply to this topic or email me at connor.wells@nintex.comPart one: Part Two: Configuring SmartObject API: Skuid and K2 IntegrationFor part two we're diving into the configuration and integration of K2's SmartObjects with Skuid.

I have a document library in SharePoint and want to query documents metadata by a SmartObject event in a workflow. When using SmartObject Services Tester tool I am able to execute the “Get Documents Metadata” method and add a custom filter. This configuration returns the desired documents metadata.Now I want to configure this SmartObject call in Designer in a workflow event. But I really have no idea, how to apply the custom filter in Designer. Thank you.

Hello everyone, We are working on developing internal audit department’s process, this includes a whole system containing various documents to be a part of it, a user will save each document and after entering all record user will submit it to their Line managers.User will be entering data which will be multiple at steps and somewhere list view which will be editable.Kindly guide me if any approach that will be better for this.

We are currently facing a challenge in our project where we are trying to integrate our K2 environment with a RESTful API.The API requires authentication using the OAuth 2.0 client credentials flow. We have attempted to configure the system via the “Management/#Authentication/OAuth/Resources” pathway. However, we are consistently redirected to the login page.Our objective is to generate a token without user interaction, as this is a backend API. We would appreciate any guidance on this matter. Thank you.  

I'm trying to find out where in the SharePoint list settings the use of K2 Smartform for New/Edit/Display actions is stored. During the migration from SP on-prem to SP online, we are overwriting, resetting these settings.I've searched the list properties and tried using PowerShell, but couldn't find anything.Does anyone know?

Hello,We want to track SLA in a workflow we designed in K2. The aim is to calculate and show that the tasks are done within a specified time interval and how much time is left. And the important thing here is that these time calculations are made according to working time. For example, if this time does not run during the lunch break or Actions need to be taken, such as stopping a task when it returns. Has anyone worked on this issue? Working time makes things a little difficult. I would like to thank those who can give their ideas in advance.

Hi,Can anyone suggest a quick way of preventing access to K2 forms while I carry out an upgrade on it? Other than going into each form and directing to some landing page, is there a blanket quicker way off doing this?Thanks

I have a SmartObject with several columns, two of which are Multivalue types.  When I add these to an Editable List view, set the “Allow Multiple” property to yes, and set them to Picker controls with data sources as SmartObjects and run the view, I can select multiple values, but the selected values are not displayed when I save.  If I edit the row again, they are displayed in the controls, but disappear again when I save.  I have tried several different SmartObjects, including Active Directory and two different SQL tables.  I have also tried setting the “Save as XML” with no success.Saved row with “Akron; Ashland;” in the Locations Applied To columnEditing row after savingI have years of experience with Nintex but am new to K2 (Nintex Automation On-Prem).  How do I get the saved values to display?  Any suggestions would be appreciated.

 Hi, I’m trying to deploy a new process with roles to another environment. I remember earlier roles used to be included in package. But now I don’t see the roles added in the Additional Items in the bottom of the package. I have added the role to the Process→Process details->Roles with a refresh of 10 minutes. Also its used in the workflow. Is the a new update in K2 but I don’t see it mentioned in any latest updated user guides? Should the roles be created manually in the target environment? K2 Version: 1/19/2023 K2 Five (5.6) FP10 Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in Advance!

I want to use a field in Nintex Designer (currently trying with the number field) with the minimum of 11 numbers and a maximum of 11 numbers.  If the account number has 10 or less, I want to have leading ‘0’’s to get a total of 11.  I thought using a rule would do this, but didn’t see it, but not sure if going about it in the right way.  Any assistance would be appreciated.Example, if account number is:5555555I would like to add leading ‘0’’s so it would look like this:00005555555Thanks,Lois

Hello, I am interested how could one run any Powershell command using K2 Five Workflow? Please, if someone could write step by step installation/configuration process, that is necessary to execute Powershell commands. I found some old posts how to do this via K2 BlackPearl, but the instructions are not explicitly given for K2 Five version. Thanks.

new to K2 and just used Sharegate to migrate a SharePoint site between collections. Opening K2 Application on the new site it gives me this message:“This list is re-using an Application. To detach the Application from this list,” Nothing further.Any tips or fix for this?

Hi,Can anyone try this and possibly suggest code that does work?In v5.4 I have a form with Text Area controls which adds a new line as a user types and the text area grows. It was done with a Data Label (set to literal) and with the expression:<script>$("textarea").keyup(function(e) { while($(this).outerHeight() < this.scrollHeight + parseFloat($(this).css("borderTopWidth")) + parseFloat($(this).css("borderBottomWidth"))) { $(this).height($(this).height()+1); };});</script> But since upgrading to K2 v5.7, as soon as user types one letter of text in the text area, the whole form hangs for another 10 seconds, then makes the text area 10000x tall and then lets you continue typing.Is there a tweak that can done to the code so it works in v5.7 so that it grows as the user types (as it does in 5.4) Thanks
