Accessing K2 Sites

There are different ways you can launch K2 sites, depending on the product or environment you are working with. This topic explains how to access K2 sites from various environments.

Start by identifying the K2 site that you want to access from the list below:

• K2 Management
• K2 Designer
• K2 Workspace
• K2 for SharePoint

For K2 for SharePoint, expand K2 for SharePoint, then select the K2 site you wish to access.

In the K2 Management or K2 Workspace site, you can also access other K2 sites in the same environment by clicking on the K2 logo in the top left-hand corner, and selecting the site you want to go to:

K2 Management

You would typically use the K2 Management site to administer your K2 environment and perform tasks like managing workflows and worklist items, creating and managing integration and SmartObjects, administering security settings, and more.

You can use a supported web browser to access the K2 Management site in K2 Cloud. The URL for the management site would be something like: https://[YourK2EnvironmentId]/management, for example, https://k2demo.onk2.com/management. If you do not know the URL of your K2 environment, contact your K2 administrator (most likely someone in IT) for the K2 Management site's URL.

If you received an introduction email from K2 describing your K2 Cloud environment, you can click the Management link found in the email.

K2 Designer

You would typically use the K2 Designer site to create, edit, and publish K2 applications and application elements, such as views, forms, SmartObjects, and workflows.

You can use a supported web browser to access the K2 Designer site in K2 Cloud. The URL for the designer site would be something like: https://[YourK2EnvironmentId]/designer, for example, https://k2demo.onk2.com/designer. If you do not know the URL of your K2 environment, contact your K2 administrator (most likely someone in IT) for the K2 Designer site's URL.

If you received an introduction email from K2 describing your K2 Cloud environment, you can click the Designer link found in the email.

K2 Workspace

You would typically use the K2 Workspace site to manage your workflow tasks, generate and install applications, access other K2 workspaces, and view reports.

You can use a supported web browser to access the K2 Workspace site in K2 Cloud. The URL for the workspace site would be something like: https://[YourK2EnvironmentId]/workspace, for example, https://k2demo.onk2.com/workspace. If you do not know the URL of your K2 environment, contact your K2 administrator (most likely someone in IT) for the K2 Workspace site's URL.

If you received an introduction email from K2 describing your K2 Cloud environment, you can click the Workspace link found in the email.

K2 for SharePoint

To use K2 with SharePoint, you must first install, register, deploy, and activate the K2 for SharePoint App. (Contact your K2 administrator if necessary to confirm the app is activated.) Once the app is activated, you can access the K2 application page from Site Contents. This page is accessible via the Site Contents for any site or subsite where the K2 app is activated.
