SharePoint Service Types
As a result of the differences between the APIs and services exposed by different versions of SharePoint, and because of how K2 integrates with SharePoint, your K2 environment may expose several Service Types that are used to integrate with Microsoft SharePoint. You can use the table below for a brief overview of the available Service Types, and click on the links to jump to more documentation about a particular Service Type.
For updated and additional information on integration and compatibility of versions of K2 with SharePoint, please refer to the Product Compatibility, Integration and Support Matrix.
