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:
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.
K2 Five
You can use a supported web browser to access the K2 Management site in K2 Five. The URL for the management site would be something like: https://[YourK2EnvironmentName]/management, for example, https://k2.denallix.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 have K2 installed on your computer, or are working on the K2 server, you can launch the K2 Management site from the Windows start menu (Start > [All Programs] > K2 > K2 Management).
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.
