Creating Workflows in K2 Studio

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.

K2 Studio is a visual design environment which is targeted at more technical roles like SharePoint site owners, administrators and SharePoint developers, as well as business analysts and workflow developers. This design tool must be installed on the your computer, and allows you to assemble K2 workflows and create K2 SmartObjects.

K2 Studio can be used to create simple to advanced workflows using the full set of K2 wizards and integration points, as well as simple or advanced SmartObjects that integrate with external systems.

K2 Studio has a few more features than K2 Designer or K2 Designer for SharePoint, can be used to create processes that are not SharePoint-centric and can be used to create very complex and advanced processes. Designers can create free-form workflow layouts with features like multiple events per activity, multiple complex outcomes, complex task routing and repeating steps. K2 Studio allows you to create everything from simple to advanced workflow designs, using generated forms, existing SmartForms, and custom user interfaces. The only restriction in K2 Studio is that it is not possible to write custom .NET code: to do this, you need K2 for Visual Studio.
