Hello All, I am having a bit of an issue with K2 Five for SharePoint. I was able to successfully install K2. ut when I click on "Application" option in the ribbon of a simple sharepoint list, it surprisingly redirects me to developer.amazon.com. Does any one have the same issue ? or is it just me ? if so, why amazon, very weird? Any help, greatly appreciated. version: k2 Five for SharePoint  (k2 build version 5.0004.1000.1)SharePoint version: Sp2016 Feature pack 2 

Hi... We have this customer request to show all documents from 4 sharepoint library into smartform. These shp lists are same as structure goes - they have same attributes, same site collections etc(one content type). Now we want to show all files(one input parameter - guid - custom attribute) from these lists to one list view to. Associations dont work. We have tried advanced SO but no luck with that since it wants to add service method links but there are none. Basically we want to aggregate all documents from 4 libraries to one list view on smartform. Ofcourse there is a solution to have 4 list views but this solution was rejected. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Hi, After breaking a load of inheritance in Designer to get the right structure for a different team of K2 Designers, i created a specific Category which only they can see. When they try to create a Smartobject, they get the error Authorization Failed.I could go into Smartobject Security and add the team there, but if i give them Create, update and delete, could they potentially delete or mess with other SMOs??? Is there a way of giving them SMARTOBJECT rights only on their own Category?Likewise, can this also be done to give rights to WORKFLOW creation rights on their own Category? Thanks

Hi, Anyone done this or know if its possible? Currently have an AD Group with users from different departments in, which is used as a destination in a Client Activity.So for example, a User from Dept X submits a request, i then use a Filter on the AD Group to send the request to Approvers from the same Department as the submitting user. This works fine as it is now. One of the Departments however now want the Approver to be not only from the same Department, but also from the same TEAM as the submitter.The AD membership of users in Dept X are either in Team A or Team B AD Groups. How can i make the Destination Workflow send Approvals as normal to all departments, but then for Dept X, do an additional check to see if the Submitter is a member of which Team and then send the approval to ONLY the approvers for their team? All Team A and Team B approvers will be the same AD Group as the approvers for other departments. So just one AD group, but need ability to filter on Department and Team

Hello,In K2 Five, I can't seem to find where to configure the slot to allow only one among mulitiple destination users to open the task. Can you help please?Thanks,Seng

Hello, when editing or adding a row in an editable list my common "workflow" is to start in the first column, enter some information, press tab to go to the next column, enter again some information and so on.But when some columns are already filled, K2 does not select the content so that I can overwrite it easily. I have to select it either with my keyoard or with my mouse and then overwrite it... Is there a possibility to let it be selected as soon it gets focused? regars,Johann

Dear all If I'm using a field of data type "datefield" I can ajust the layout of the representation of the date. The default representation is the english format "m/d/yyyy". But I want to use the german format "d.m.yyyy". I can change this setting for every single field which is a bit anoying! So here are the questions:- In the "style builder" dialog there is the option to switch to "user settings". Where can I configure these user-settings?- Is there a possibility to configure this for all users in advance?- Is there a possibility to change the default setting for the date format?  P.S.: I allready found tipps regarding the web.config file. But the "executionCulture" is allready set to "de-DE" and the change of the "globalization culture" did not solve this "problem" RegardsViktor

Hi, i want to build a K2 Five Application. The application wil have a form and a driver (that will have the K2 Workspace Mobile App) will access a form and select "Start Job".The application should then track his GPS coordinates and log it to a SQL Server table every 5 minutes.The location services control has "Start Watching" and "Stop Watching" which seems like the things i want. But i am not sure to what i am limited to. Now what drawback does this have? Considerations:- The app should be able to still "watch" for location changes regardless of the driver's actions (closing the app, offline, etc)- Google Maps integration for retrieving estimated times- Google Maps integration for sending location coordinates and or address names at certain intervals If you have any suggestions, please dont hesitate to add it

A colleague left some time ago. I discovered he'd worked on a couple of workflows, which checked them out. I had his account restored today so I could log in with that account to undo the checkout but it had been archived and the name no longer matches. There were no changes I need to keep, I just want to cancel the checkouts. I worked out how to undo a form checkout with SQL but I'm not sure how to do this for a workflow. Does anyone know?

I have a SharePoint list with around 44 columns. From SPO I generated the smartobjects and smartforms which is working. However the auto generated view has all the columns set out vertically. I would like to update the view so that I have two columns of fields. What is the best way to do this? I checked out the view but cannot seem to edit it. That is move fields to the right of other fields. Any help would be greatly appreciated Thanks Vera

I'm having difficulty on something that should be extremely easy.  I have 3 drop downs -Region (Region ID - Feeds Group)Group (Group ID - Feeds Facility - Filtered by Region ID)Facility (Facility Key - Filtered by Group ID) Works great - initially!BUT when someone picks the empty value at the top -  the drop downs go into a 'Select All' Method and do not clear out as they should.. I've tried clear methods, transfer methods, disable methods.  Need some help! I have the drop downs linked on DataSource / Filtered in the Change Rule and still nothing.  Found some other articles /documentation on linking dropdowns - followed the steps and have this issue. Images included.

Hi, I'm currently designing a new website, but am having issues with the frontend layout of K2 Articles (using them in Joomla). They display well on a page, but when you open them, they open either on the same page as I already am (If I choose the menutype connected to the K2 - Category of the linked articles to be "K2" - "Categories" in Joomla) ; OR they open on a new site which is what I want (If I choose the menutype connected to the K2 - Category of the linked artciles to be "JA K2 Filter" - "Items List"), but in this case, the page displaying all the articles of the respective category display the text line "Search results" on top of the articles in the frontend, which I don't want. What I want is that a new K2 Article appears on a new page if somebody clicks on it, and that no "Search results" text line appears above the articles on the page where they're all displayed. Help??

As part of some requirements, I need to create an easy to remember alpha numeric id to assign to workflows to make it searchable. The agency does not want to use long/complicated GUIDs or generic/non-unique auto-incremented ID's.

We have several ASP.NET apps built with extensive 3rd party components like Telerik. They interact with K2 4.7 using K2 for Visual Studio and pass form data using XML data fields. I can see that K2 Five introduces a completely new paradigm and extends the Smartform front-end component with the new browser-based process designer as described here. Re-building our ASP.NET apps in SmartForms is not feasible, Smartforms just doesn't have all the capabilities. So given that K2 4.7 and legacy tooling like K2 for Visual Studio will be retired after 12/31/2019, how can our ASP.NET apps integrate with the new K2 Five process designer? In other words, how would the form data be passed to the process designer for use in line rules, tasks, actions, outcomes, etc. Any ideas appreciated. Thanks

Good Morning,  I have several SharePoint lists that utilize another list as a lookup for the names of individuals (hundreds). Those names may or may not be on the other lists but they are available from the lookup column. I am trying to create a form where the lookup column with the names exists on the page and when a name is selected the specific list they are looking at fills the data on that individual. I can populate the dropdown easy enough but trying to query the list by filtering on the user name is proving a bit more challenging. Has anyone worked through this process before and can give me some tips or ideas? Thanks,Ben

This may be a long shot but thought I'd check to see. Client wants a more complex export of data instead of just the data put into record rows. Example - Flipping columns headers vertical instead of horizontal. Additional Counts & Header Sections to group columns. I've not seen anything like this in a 3rd party conversion into Excel Export, outside of manipulating the data in Excel with this layout.  I personally have done this type of thing in an SSRS Report but not an option. I can create the Stored Procedures to populate the data into a list view but wasn't sure if there was anything else I could do.  ** Keep in Mind I can not modify the CSS and trying to keep things OOTB with some simple coding options See Image
