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

Hi All, we are developing an application for a client (CMS) and one of the requirements is to be able to send and receive emails through the K2 Application. Sending emails is not an issue. I am not sure how to go about receiving emails in the K2 App. My idea was to use the subject to put some identifier (case ID ) to be able to figure out the link between the email and the case. I am not sure how I can retrieve and how to work with the emails. I don't have much experience in such integration. If anyone can help maybe. Thanks 

Hello,I am currently working at creating a leave request application. As my baseline I used the leave request tutorials. What i am trying to solve now is the cancellability of approved LRs. So my solution was starting a workflow and keeping it in a task enabling a manager or a user to take a "Cancel" action. The task is set to expire on LR end. But expiration doesnt seem to work. Tasks will just not expire no matter what deadline I set up. Is there some special consideration about task expiration that I am not aware of? Currently task has a cancel action and expire action. Expire action is linked to deadline and so after the deadline the system should take a user decision step "Expire". But it doesnt.Enclosed you can find screenshot of a basic idea and task deadline setup Thank you for assistance

Hello, I'm trying to redirect mails to file system in a development environment, to be sure final user wont receive a mail from dev.  It was working fine on the old K2 versions when I update the K2HostServer.exe.config with the following config : <mailSettings><smtp deliveryMethod="SpecifiedPickupDirectory" from="system@k2.local"><specifiedPickupDirectory pickupDirectoryLocation="c:Mail" /></smtp></mailSettings> But in my new K2 Five environment, it don't works.Did you have any tips to block mail when you are in a development environment, which work in K2 Five ? Thanks,Pierre

Hi All,  How to fill in the dropdownlist from the SmartObject that has the condition?for example, SELECT * FROM table_user WHERE Role = 'admin';so all the dropdowns are users who have admin roles. Thanks,  

I have a workflow that allows users to "save" their work in case they need to look up information before submitting. This changes the Workflow Activity form "Complete Details" to "Pending". But both of these activities need to do the same actions once the Submit button is clicked. Is there a way to make the condition be "If current Workflow Activity is "Complete Details" OR if current Workflow Activity is "Pending"? When I placed two of these Conditions, it defaults to AND - which won't work for me.  I have eight Actions that occur after the Condition and I am hoping to avoid having to duplicate these all over again for the "Pending" Workflow activity. 

In the root of K2 Designer, there are lots of objects such as Boolean, Byte, Single, HttpHeader etc, how do i prevent a regular user from seeing these objects if they managed to access designer? At present a regular can edit, delete, save as and Generate views etc.I want to lock down all this so the Regular users only can execute forms, not access K2 designer and fiddle. I can add security to categories, but not items (SMOs) in the root of Designer. Is there not a simple way to prevent access to all, except administrators, but also allow everyone to execute only on forms. The documentation doesn't really explain this Thanks,   

I'm trying to create a SmartObject that will allow users to Release/Redirect their tasks from a custom dashboard. In the past, I would write a custom WCF service to handle this and wrap it in a SmartObject - I'm trying to avoid this by using some of the more out-of-box services instead. Using the "Task" SmartObject that exists under "SystemManagementUsersSmartObjects" requires that the current user be a Server Admin to release their tasks, so that is out of the question. Using the WCF services endpoint, the "Release" and "Redirect" functions there seem to try to open the work item before releasing it, and even though it is running under the context of the K2 service account it is unable to do so. I was hoping these would just administratively release the task (much like the K2 Management site does). So the question is if there is any out of the box hook that can be used to allow regular system users to release and/or redirect tasks without having to roll my own service to do so?

I am trying to apply a custom google font to specific elements on my form but so far I have had no luck.  Does anyone have any details on if and how this may be possible? My elements are set as DataLabels, so I'm unsure how to target these elements indivually without appling CSS to every DataLabel on the form.  

I need to find more information about a cancelled process, but i am not sure where to find it inside the K2 database.I have looked inside Server.ProcInst as well ServerLog.ProcInst and ServerLog.ProcInstAudit, but i simply could not find it. Can you suggest what should i do next?
