K2 Designer for SharePoint

K2 Designer for SharePoint is surfaced in Microsoft Office SharePoint Server (MOSS) 2007 and Microsoft SharePoint 2010 and provides the tools to build, modify and share processes in document, list and form libraries. The K2 Designer for SharePoint is hosted inside a browser. Everything that happens inside the browser for a particular process is maintained in the same project structure as a project designed in K2 Studio.

The major advantage to hosting the process designer within the browser is a broad reach to users in an organization. This allows users who do not want or need K2 Studio to participate in K2 process design. However, the browser experience is not the same as a traditional Windows-based development environment. There are many differences between the process environments, but the core features are supported in all environments.

The K2 Designer for SharePoint is only available from within a SharePoint Library, List or Form. To take advantage of this functionality, the user (or a SharePoint administrator) must activate this and the supporting features by using the K2 Administration page in SharePoint Central Administration.
