Hi All,

Currently, I am working on a project to migrate Nintex Workflow 2016 on SharePoint 2016 to K2 Five. Some existing workflows use the “Query User Profile” action to retrieve user information from the SharePoint User Profile.

Is there a feature in K2 Five that provides similar functionality to the “Query User Profile” action in Nintex Workflow?

 

Thanks,

Rizki

Hey Rizki,

It really depends on what you're trying to get out of the User Profile query. K2 handles this a bit differently compared to Nintex Workflow. Instead of a direct “Query User Profile” action, user data (from AD or SharePoint) is usually accessed through SmartObjects.

In your workflow, you'd typically call a SmartObject method to get that info. You can find the relevant SmartObject by going to the Toolbox > SmartObjects > SharePoint 2013 > [your site collection] > Management > User. Another option that might work depending on what you're after is the “SharePoint Users” SmartObject.

Let me know what specific data you're trying to retrieve, and I can help you figure out which SmartObject works best or how it compares to what you'd get in Nintex Workflow.

Thanks,
Tiaan
