K2 for SharePoint 2010

K2 provides several optional components that can be used with a SharePoint environment. Components are available for Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 (WSS), Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 (MOSS), SharePoint 2010 Foundation and SharePoint Server 2010. The K2 for SharePoint 2010 components provide a Web-based designer that is hosted within the SharePoint environment and a K2 Worklist Web part. SharePoint wizards allow documents, lists, users and sites to be used or created based on a process. The K2 for SharePoint 2010 components also provide integration with MOSS-specific functionality, such as Records management, Publishing, Business Data Catalogue, Search and InfoPath Forms Services.

The SharePoint Components are split into two separate versions.

Only one of the following components can be installed per server. The Setup Manager will look at the dependencies and will display the correct component.

MOSS Components: Components enabling SharePoint integration with Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 (Enterprise or Standard Edition), Microsoft Office Forms Server 2007

WSS Components: Components enabling Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 integration

SharePoint 2010: Components enabling Microsoft SharePoint 2010 integration

SharePoint 2010 Foundation: Components enabling Microsoft SharePoint 2010 Foundation integration

Installed on the SharePoint machine, the K2 for SharePoint 2010 components enable interaction and communication between the K2 Server and functions found in SharePoint including Microsoft InfoPath processes. The following integration features require Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 or SharePoint 2010:

• SmartObject and process data search
• Business Data Catalogue* (MOSS) or Business Connectivity Service (SharePoint 2010)
• InfoPath Forms Services*
• Publishing sites and pages
• Records management

The starred (*) features are only available in the Enterprise edition of MOSS 2007. InfoPath Forms Services integration, which provides browser-enabled InfoPath forms for user interaction, requires Microsoft Office Forms Server 2007 or the Enterprise edition of MOSS 2007. In SharePoint 2010, forms based on browser-compatible form templates (.xsn) can be opened in a Web browser from computers that do not have InfoPath 2010 installed, but will open in InfoPath 2010 when it is installed.

The remaining integration features are available on any edition of SharePoint, including Windows SharePoint Server v3:

• K2 Designer for SharePoint
• Workflow integration
• Site management
• User management
• List and library management
