Service Objects

The Account Management service exposes the following Service Objects:

SmartObjects

If an AD environment is configured during installation, K2 automatically generates SmartObjects for the Service Objects in the Service. SmartObjects can be automatically created by selecting the Generate SmartObjects for this Service Instance check box when creating a new Service Instance. Designers can use the SmartObject design tools to build advanced SmartObjects that leverage the Service Objects in this service. It is recommended to use the SmartObject design tools to create SmartObjects rather than generating SmartObjects, since this allows better control over the naming, behavior and design of the SmartObject and its methods and properties.
