Hello, i'm currently having problem to access k2 workflow rest api using an LDAP user account each time i tried to access it, it always ask for login information even after inputted the user account correctly.i've also check claims and server rights using management site, but there's nothing that indicate something is wrong.the only assumption i have is that the displayed username displays the email of the LDAP user in Workflow Server Rights causes user unable to login, but i can still access designer/workspace/management with LDAP. is there any solution for this?   

Hello, I've encountered a problem, when opening K2 Workspace on testing enviornment. I have been changing some elements on it and copying one custom workspace. But after that, everytime i go to https://....../Workspace, I get the following error (see attachment workspace_error). Even, if I change default workspace to other cutom or original workspaces, the error stays the same. I also tried to creating new workspace, but nothing helps.  If I refresh the page, when I get this error, everyting works okay - the issue is also solved when I switch from default workspace to another workspace, by clicking K2 logo on top of the page (see attachment changeWorkspace) . Anyone knows what could be the issue?

Trying to get text to format like below when pushing data to a Text Area in K2 Cloud The text should read likea. Easy to format b. Line breaks between the letters What i have found so far is a single line with no ability to add line breaks which is causing a considerable headache on my end.

Hello, I'm struggling with the PDF Converter while using inside a workflow. I had problems with some elements on my forms, that were heavily edited by CSS and JS. According to https://help.k2.com/kb001626 i changed the values of useWebkit and serializeResources to true. After this my PDFs are rendered perfectly.Is there a way to set these values while using the SmartObject inside a workflow?The reason for this is, that the user is supposed to select some values and starts the PDF generation process after that. The content of the selection form will be saved into one pdf and in addition to that other data items should also be saved into several pdfs which will be uploaded into a SharePoint library after this. The first PDF is generated with the Save As PDF control, but all additional PDFs are created in the background by a workflow and the useWebkit/serializeResources values are ignored. Thanks,Adrian

I have a list view based on the Activity Instance Destination reporting object. I want to conditionaly place activity name or text in the coulumn based on the Activity name. Can this be done if the field the coulumn is based on is Activity Name? If I select field = none then the field is always blank at initialization.

I have a descision step in my workflow. The paths are "Change" and "Continue" (screenshot wf1). The path is determined by the task result. But this is not behaving as expected. If I action "Change" both paths are followed (screenshot wf3) - I don't want that, I only want it to follow the "Change" path... If I choose "Continue" it follows the "Continue" path but then also has a fragment of the "Change" path taken (screenshot wf2). Any ideas what I'm doign wrong here?

Hi, So my set up is as follows:- Dev Environment- QA Environment- Both has Development Licence- Each has respective Admin User Accounts- Each SEEMS to be in the same respective roles- The same workflow that comes from the same source is deployed on each workflow server- The workflows are schedules and for extra testing ; triggered manually in Management rather than a Smart Form The problem:- The problem is that on Dev this process encounters an Error that states that my workflow step threshold is reached. i find this problematic since it is reached very early within the execution. But i carried on to change the threshold settings from 1000 steps in 60 seconds to 1000 steps in 1 minute and it worked . THIS SEEMS TO BE A QUICK AND DIRTY FIX to me and i dont trust it Because:On QA, when this workflow is executed, it does not receive an error. Both these workflows read their data from the same service instance being a Production database; synching the production data to the Dev and QA resp

Why does this expression write "false" in the datalable when the Activity Instance ID equals 20?

Hi All, I have a requirement where user want to approve a task through email in a single click. After some struggle, we implement a hyperlink inside the task email which will open a new email in browser as well as email client. The href sytax was given like below <ahref="mailto: <Address>?subject=<subbject>&body=Approve <SerialNo>">Approve</a> where <SerialNo> will be coming as SN=<number>. Link is working in Desktop browsr but it is not working in gmail client in iphone.  When we click on Approve hyperlink in iphone gmail client then it will open a new email and body will have content only till SN. I believe email client is not able to recognize the "=" symbol after SN as part of the body, instead it is looking for an attribute.  Due to this I am not able to approve the task from iphone. Any idea how to solve this  

Hi, A dedicated server has been installed for K2 Five development (since the current 4.7 server does not comply with the hardware requirements for 5.3). This is to prepare us from migrating 4.7 to 5.3.  Since you cannot deploy packages in 4.7 to 5.3, how can I create a new package using the 5.3 version? I am trying to add the server in the K2 Package and Deployment but it comes up with an error (please see attached screenshot). Thanks and Kind Regards,Joan

Hi, We use the the SharePoint "Site - Management - Group" Smartobject to verify if users are in this group when a form loads and it works fine if I have added myself to the SharePoint group as a direct entry against my AD account "Julie Bird". However, in our organisation we permission all of our sharepoint groups with a cooresponding AD group that has been created for each role (makes permissining maintanence free when people move between roles a lot). Therefore I would add the AD Role User ... ie "SP Coordintaor" to the Sharepoint group instead of myself directlty (of  which julie bird is a member of). However, I can't find a smart object method that will recognise me when I use the AD Role User, it will only recognise me if I add my 'Julie bird' AD role. Any help or suggestions? We really don't want to have to go back to adding individuals into all processes across SharePoint, Thanks, Julie :-)

I would like to upload multiple attachments for a sharepoint list, when the form is customized in K2. Please provide me the suggestions for ex: We have repeater control in infopath to attach/add multiple items/documents to upload/insert in the form, in the same way do we have a provision to upload multiple attachements.

Hi everyone, We have a K2 workflow(.kprx) which is quite complex and due to many changes over the years, it has become messy. I was wondering if there is a way to prettify/beautify it automatically so that the activities fall in some sort of a sequence making it a little more readable. Thanks,Aman

Hi all, I was trying to create a package using package and deploy tool and getting below error. My environment has a single standalone server. I have checked if ports 5555 and 5252 are being used by any other process and they are being used only by K2 Host service.

I have a workflow which has a functionality to send emails using a Email task . But tehe emails are dynamically constructed using string concatenations. I found that this email task (in teh workflow) is pretty un-forgiving and brutal .  What I found was that :1. if the email string has more than one semi colon it failsexample : *personal details removed*;;*personal details removed* - This string if passed in the CC of the workflow notification the email task will fail at run time2. if the email string end with semi colon (string has a semi-colon at teh end)  it failsexample : *personal details removed*;*personal details removed*;  - This string if passed in the CC of the workflow notification the email task will fail at run timeIs this the behaviour observed by anyone else? Is there any best practice to achive this instead of writing ridiculous experssions to handle these conditions? Any help is appreciated.

We are migrating workflows from 4.7 to 5 and have workflows that had "Escalation" configured in Smartforms client event. On migration, escaltion rules were converted to reminder mails.I have configured the reminder mails correctly but on deploying the workflow, the following error is displayed:"The escaltion has no rule configured"

Hi,I am trying to create a CRUD workflow using K2 and SAP. On SAP side we have exposed the functionality as OData service. I followed the video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sFjfS65CO1E and set up the OData Service broker as Service instance in K2. The SmartObject generated lists all the CRUD operations and the list function executes without any issues. The other operations create/update/delete fail with a message - CSRF token validation failed.As per the article - https://help.sap.com/saphelp_gateway20sp12/helpdata/en/e6/cae27d5e8d4996add4067280c8714e/frameset.htmthe list function which is a non-modifying request sends a request header property x-csrf-token=fetch and retrieves a CSRF token. This token should be then used as request header property for the modifying requests. How can I set this up ? I have not found much information on CRUD operations for K2 + SAP using OData so any help is much appreciated. 

Hi, We are upgrading K2 from 4.6.11 to 5.3. We successfully ugraded development and staging environment.Now, we are going to upgrade production environment. Before starting upgrade in production we need some clarifications. In production, we need to configure the same url for K2 components as per exiting server.Is it possible to have same URLs for two servers? If yes, please list the steps to achieve this scenario. Thanks in advance. Regards,Samy
