K2 Workflow Designer - Favorites

This content applies to legacy design tools (such as K2 Studio, K2 for Visual Studio, or the Silverlight-based K2 workflow design tool). If you have upgraded from K2 blackpearl 4.7 to K2 Five, these tools may still be available in your environment. These legacy tools may not be available in new installations of K2 Five. These legacy tools may also not be available, supported, or behave as described, in future updates or versions of K2. Please see the legacy component support policy for more information about support for these components.

The Favorites menu is a list of Active Directory users / groups that can be assigned as participants in the workflow steps. The list can be updated with new users as required. The Favorites menu is accessible from the K2 Workflow Designer design page.
