Hi All, Can we change the category of a deployed workflow from Management? I could move the workflow to new category in designer but while deploying it get deployed into old category in Management. Is there any way to change it?  As per the below thread, it is not possible but want to know if there is any workaround.  https://community.k2.com/t5/K2-Five/Changing-Workflow-categories-in-K2-Management-Screen/m-p/102758#M543 Regards,Madhu

Anyone else seen this issue? We have a workflow that's been around for about six months. It was created by User A. When I visit that workflow and look at its Last Modified Date and Last Modified By, it shows a date in the past, and User B--who was not even hired onto our team on the date K2 says the workflow was last modified. We do have a few workflows that need to be changed at the database level to switch their checkouts or locked-bys to different users, but we checked and this was not one of them. Any ideas why this is occurring?

We just upgraded our K2 environment from 4.6.11 to 4.7 to 5.2 with latest Fix Pack. We have a legacy workflow which was built in Visual Studio Pro 2013. After the upgrade to K2 Five 5.2, we tried to package and deploy this legacy workflow using K2 Studio and it throws following exception: Attached is the full text of this error. 

Hello,I am trying to generate notifications from a workflow dynamically. I can easily generate a message from SQL Procedure based on parameters. But where I am having issues is including Workflow variables in these messages. Is there a way to do this ? Is there a text representation of a variable? What I want to do is to write something along the lines of {Workflow.RequestID} and have it be replaced by the RequestID variable. Is this possible in K2 Five?  Thank you Tom 

Hi, I didn't find any topics on this, which surprised me as I can't imagine that I am the only person here with this issue.I have a listview with in it a column with numeric data. I want to sort this data on this column, where I would find an order of 1,2,3,...9, 10, 11 a logic one. But the result of the List view sort is an order of 1,10, 11, 2,3,4,... Does anyone know how to fix this?  

Hi AllCan i have some question regarding K2 Smartform.As a new developer i already make a literal button that can print smartform without the button showing.   I attach Test.xps that are the output of the print function  But did anyone of you have tried to download to a smartform to a file.

Hi All I thought this was possible but for some reason it doesnt work for me.I want to add some simple HTML formatting to the task reminder email which I'm generatingFor example <b>this text should be in BOLD<b> When I get the email the HTML is ignored and is just displayed as normal text with the tags I'm positive I've been able to do this before?  

I'm new to K2 5 so excuse my ignorance if this is a simple problem that has been solved before.I have 2 unbound rules on the form that are called from 2 more general "Save" and "Load" unbound rules that are called during form initialize depending on whether the FormID paramater is specified or not. Below the first two highlighted rules are the general Save and LOad rules. The bottown two rules are the attachment list save and get list rules. According to the Management Console the Save is apparently working. The underlying smart ofject is populated. The Get List load rule is not pulling in the list of attachments. The details of the 2 rules are shown below. What am I doing wrong?   

I have a workflow that requires me to have one of the task to be assigned to a Group. We need this to be only one task that all members can open and if someone has it open, they want to still see it on the task list.  I have this setup within the Task and I have the checkbox for "Resolve groups to individuals" unchecked. For the most part, this is working. I had built it into the workflow to have a "close" option that actually loops back to the task so that if they don't actually finish the task, it can then be picked up by another member of the group to complete - this avoids the one single task becoming stuck with the person who opened it (so if they take a half day out of the office, someone else can complete the task). This also works pretty darn well. In this particular workflow, this task can be assigned out to one of 8 groups. The issue is that the one group has a much larger count of members and members tend to open a task and just leave it open in a tab and don't get back to i

Hello,What is the best way to insert multiple records into a workflow email using a single smart object? I have a table that holds records for multiple transactions based on a single main transaction. When I insert the smartobject reference into the email it just inserts the records for each entry together e.g. TransactionNameVariable appears as 'Test1Test2Test3' in the email (3 records found for the main transaction) Any suggestions on a method to use to display them separately? Thankyou 

Hi All, I have a requirement where user would like to action a workitem through a hyperlink in their task email. For example, the email will have two hyperlink's Approve and Reject. On clicking Approve, user expects the task to be approved and on clicking Reject, the workitem should get rejected. Is it possible to implement this?  Regards,Madhu

Hi, We have a requirement to render the UI components, text box, labels, etc, based on an XML/JSON that a web service provides. Is there any way to use K2 Views to do this runtime loading? The view will not have any idea of the elementss present in the xml except the parent node. This is quite important for us as we are trying to create a dynamic workflow solution for our business and the content types used will need to be configurable. Regards,Deb

Hi,Anyone have idea to load K2 5 kprx into PersistableObject? I have try to get a PersistableOject using "Load" method of  SourceCode.Framework.SerializationInfoProvider  with memory Stream of K2 Five kprx.  see below source code.static void Main(string[] args){ byte[] x = GetProcessSource(@"C:Usersk2adminDocumentsK2 5 kprxKprxUpdateSubSiteByGetRefProcess_K2Five.kprx");using (var serializer = new SerializationInfoProvider()) using (var stream = new MemoryStream(x)) { if (stream != null) { PersistableObject pot =(PersistableObject)serializer.Load(stream); } }} public static byte[] GetProcessSource(string fileName) { try { // Read the file as byte byte[] kprxBytes = File.ReadAllBytes(fileName); // Return the KPRX bytes return kprxBytes; } c

I have 2 different smartobjects which I would like to use for emailing purposes. One for customer, and one for recipients, where the recipients smartobject has: RecipientID, RecipientName, EmailAddress and CustomerID (Foreign Key). Customer is CustomerID, CustomerName.In my smartform I'm using a multiselect on the Customer SmartObject which looks at the CustomerName and returns the CustomerID.I want this to then populate another multiselect to return all Recipients that are associated to the CustomerID's returned in the first multiselect.However, when doing this with more than one customer, I'm unable to populate the Recipient List as I get an error because of the ; delimited list selected in the first part is seen as an nvarchar and not an int. I'm currently using a work around which isn't best practice with relational databases, I'm using one large smartobject consisting of the CustomerID, CustomerName, Email Addresses. The email addresses field consists of a large list of all the re

Hi,I have been hitting a wall for few weeks now and would appreciate any idea of feasibility.I am building a high traffic workflow and would like to assign the day to day user management (high turn over)  to few end users. My current idea is to build a SharePoint list containing users and roles and add these roles/AD Group into the workflow. Is that possible My second issue is that I would like to circumvent the Approval process for users added to a specific list in the Step above. I suspect that I can just run an If Statement once I am able to identify membership of that specific group in the form and use that into the workflow.Thanks,P

Hi, Can K2 developers create reports with K2 5.3? I want to know if K2 has any built-in report designer for pulling information from smartobjects as i'me evaluating products to see which is best at pulling info from completed forms etc. Thanks

Can anyone help with how to upgrade K2 Exchange Services client so it is not using legacy authentication?When we started out with K2 we were using Blackpearl 4.7 with Exchange 2013. We have since upgraded K2 to 5.2 and are using Exchange Online in K2 (our Exchange environment is hybrid Exchange 2016 and Exchange Online). Microsoft is removing support for TLS1.0 and 1.1 and we need to move towards removing any connections that are still using these protocols. Our K2 email services are coming up on the reports for TLS1.0/1.1 usage, using ExchangeServicesClient/15.00.0913.015 and I'm not sure how to upgrade K2 to use TLS1.2.

Good Morning Everyone, I have a pretty complex workflow connected to sharepoint that I does not autosave and will crash after making changes. The close is grayed out but the save button is no longer flashing. If I click on the save button it flashes for a bit then stops. The close is still grayed out. When it crashes I lose all of my changes and the website just gives me an error that the page couldn't load. The server is not giving me any log files related to this. When I reload the page I have to wait an eternity for the workflow to load if it ever does. If I clear the cache it will load the page again. Any ideas what is causing this behavior?

Hi I Created this SO but when I try to run it I get this Error Message way ?

Hello, In our environment we use Azure Active Directory, but in our case, every AAD User has empty "Email" attribute as it is tied to Exchange Online license (which currently is out of reach). Due to this, control "Originator/Manager Email" from Context Browser in workflow designing stage returns no data and we are unable to use it. Moreover, "Task" step is unable to send email notification (email recipient is not customizable in this step). We can use "Alternate email" attribute from AAD to send emails via "Send Email" step, but "Task" step just doesn't use it by default. Two questions from my side:1. Is there any way I can force K2 Workflow Email control to return data not from "AAD Email" attribute, but from "AAD Alternate email attribute"?2. Is it even possible to customize email notification in "Task" step? Changing recipient to email address is not the solution, because then email notification is being sent, but the task is not being assigned to the user in Workspace. We need bot
