Hi All,
I thought it might be helpful to compile a running list of design changes big and small from 4.7 to Five (including 5.1). I will be updating this and adding more features as I go along, but for now thought I would start out with stuff that has come up with customers and info that can be found in the K2 Five Release Notes (http://help.k2.com/kb002044 if you would like to take a look yourself). Please feel free to add on to this list in the comments as well.
- If you need to use the concatenate function in the Workflow designer, go to Operators > Text and use "Join". The function is still labeled as "concatenate" when configuring expressions in the Views/Forms designer.
- Process Overview Report and User Overview Report are available through vanity URLS ([Server]/Report/ProcessOverview and [Server]/Report/UserOverview respectively). All other reports can be found in Management > Workflow Server > Workflows > Workflow >Process Details > Reports.
- In the Rich Text Control you can now provide URLS as hyperlinks as well as preview the hyperlinks. You can also upload and copy/paste images with this control.
- The Start Event wizard and User Task wizards are now separate and have different options. When you create a workflow based off a form, workflow rules are added to the form immediately upon completing the start event wizard. For more detail on this, head here: https://help.k2.com/kb001855
- The "Save document to file location" method available in SharePoint 2013 document library SmartObjects has been deprecated.To accomplish this in Five, store the file in a SmartBox SmartObject.
- Expressions for View/Form controls are now configured in the Layout step of the Designer.
- In 5.1 you can now export information from standard reports in Management to Excel.
- You can create your own variable for reference using the context browser in the K2 Five workflow designer. Simply expand the context browser, click "add a variable", choose data type and assign an initial value if necessary.
