We're updating some of our product names. K2 Five is now Nintex Automation. You may see both product names in our help pages while we make this change.

Application Form

You can turn a form into an application form to allow people easy access to the form in Workspace (Mobile) mobile applications and Workspace (Desktop) site. To do this, you must enable the Application Form property of the form. You can access application forms in the Forms section of Workspace (Mobile) on mobile devices, and in the My Forms section of the Workspace (Desktop) site. If you want to work with forms in offline mode on mobile devices, see the Offline Availability topic for more information. Also see the Nintex K2 Mobile product documentation for information on using forms in the Workspace app, settings you can configure, and more.

See the following resources for more information:

See How To: Enable the Application Form option on a Form for information about turning any form into an application form which makes the form available when using the Workspace app.
See How To: Configure Forms with Draft Functionality for information about configuring an Application Form to be saved as drafts on mobile devices for later completion.

Configuring an Application Form

Follow the steps below to create an application form in Designer:

Design a form.
On the Layout tab, expand the Advanced section of the form properties.
Enable the Application Form property to make this form available in Workspace (Mobile) apps and the Workspace (Desktop) site. You can also enable the Offline Availability property if you want to allow offline use of the form in Workspace apps. (These properties are not dependent on each other and a form can have one or both options checked. Typically, you may enable the Offline Availability property and disable the Application Form property for a workflow task form because you do not want the form available in the Forms folder in the Workspace app, but you still want to access the task form offline.)
- Application Form: Shows the form in the My Forms folder in Workspace (Desktop). When using Workspace (Mobile) apps, the form is downloaded to the device and shows in the Forms folder of the app.
- Offline Availability: Makes the form available for offline use in Workspace (Mobile) apps. See the Offline Availability topic for more information about using offline forms.
Finish the form.
You can now access the form from the Forms section on the menu bar of Workspace (Mobile) apps.

And in the My Forms section of Workspace (Desktop).

Deep Linking

You can use deep links in conjunction with the Workspace (Mobile) apps to link to specific locations (such as Tasks, Application Forms and login pages). When you click a deep link the Workspace (Mobile) apps will open that item directly, without requiring you to navigate to a specific form.

You can set up the following types of deep links:

Link to the Task Detail Card
Link to the Task Form
Link to the Application Form
Link to a Server Login page

You can send deep links to users via notification emails (for workflow steps), in a normal email, by text message, from a website, or other ways that links are typically shared. When you tap a deep link on a mobile device, the targeted detail card or form opens.

If the Workspace app is not running, the app opens and shows the login screen. However, the deep link context is lost in this case and you are not taken to the detail card or form. You must tap the deep link again (while the Workspace app is running) to open the detail card or form.

Building a deep link

Deep links have a unique prefix made up of 'K2://', the public-facing server address (the server you log into when using the Workspace app), and the target detail card or form. For example: K2://m1.denallix.com/task/[task serial number]will open the task detail card for the specified task serial number.

Target Type	Deep link example
Task	K2://[server]/task/[serial_number]
Task Form	K2://[server]/task/[serial_number]/form
Application Form	K2://[server]/form/[system name] The application form deep link uses the form's system name, not the display name. Deep Link URIs do not allow spaces - substitute spaces in the form's system name with the + (plus) character.
Login Page	K2://[server]/signIn When you tap a deep link that specifies a server and you are already logged in to the Workspace mobile app, you will be prompted whether to continue since you will be signed out. If there are outbox items or draft items present, data will be lost on sign out. If you choose to continue, you will be signed out and presented with the sign in screen for the specified server.

If you build the deep link as part of a customized email notification within a workflow, you need to manually type in the URI, but you can drag the task serial number for a task or application form from the context browser, as shown in the following image:

You may not use spaces in the form system name or the deep link URI breaks. You can manually enter the form system name substituting any spaces with the + (plus) character.
