Workflows and Automation

With the release of K2 Nintex Automation 5.8, it is now only supported if you upgrade from version 5.6 or 5.7. So if you are upgrading from an earlier release like 4.7 or 5.3, you will have to upgrade to 5.6 or 5.7 first.  I.e. 4.7 -> 5.7 -> 5.8

You've been using K2 for SharePoint smoothly, but recently started encountering "401 Unauthorized" errors with SharePoint SmartObjects and even during the Registration Wizard's final "Application" step. This could be caused by an expired K2 OAuth High Trust certificate. To renew the certificate, follow the steps here: https://community.nintex.com/k2-blackpearl-66/when-trying-to-add-the-url-on-appdeployment-exe-an-error-appears-3002?tid=3002&fid=66

When a user incidentally browse to any K2 pages/resources, they will be allocated a license; even though they were not meant to have access to K2. To prevent this, you can enable the 'Assignment required?' option on your K2 for Office 365 Enterprise application. Make sure to Save the change. Then users or groups who should have access to K2 can be added via 'Users and groups'. Users who were not allowed via 'Users and groups' will see the following page, preventing them from logging in and so a K2 license won't be allocated.

When working with Hyperlink or Picture columns in SharePoint, SmartObjects will only have a single field. To directly display the URL in SharePoint, simply enter it into the field. For a more user-friendly display, enter the URL followed by a comma and the desired display text. This will replace the link with the specified text while maintaining the underlying URL.
