Licence limits for clients
You can limit the number of logged-in users for clients. In the book Administrator in Basic data (1st page) chapter you can set with whose clients are the users logging as.
The Import button is important for import of licence file into database. The button has the same importance as Licence import upon finishing program installation. In this form you can use this button for e.g. licence changing.
Button Set production is important for setting the K2 installation as production. The button has the same importance as Production upon program installation.
Picture: K2 installation settings
K2 installer and K2 application send on-line information about usage of licence into K2 atmitec company. Among these information is Name, version and K2 edition, server name, catalogue and client, number of users and identification of database platform.
These information is important for efficiency improvement for another plans of K2 development and for prevention of possible incompatibility. For differentiation if K2 installation is production, it is necessary to use the possibility of installation registration as production in K2 installer or right away in K2 application (Administration - System - Licence administration).
Non-production K2 are understood as testing, their function is limited. If K2 program is set as "Production", red line with "Test Test Test Test" text will be displayed on the main form. This text is displayed as watermark in reports as well. K2 icon will get grey in non-production state.
Picture: K2 Desktop - "Non-production" K2
Picture: Main Task-bar of Windows Operating System, icon shortcut "Non-production" K2
Administration of clients
There are two clients preset in the program, these are DEMO client and INIT client. In the DEMO client, there are introduced the demonstration data for individual K2 modules, where the user can practice the K2 functionality. The client INIT does not contain data, because it serves to create a new client. Administration of clients serves for creating new clients and for maintenance of the existing databases by means of K2.
The list of clients you can see on the page 0.
Picture: The Administration of clients form - book
The first page of the form is different for editing an existing client and another for creating a new client by using the Insert key. When editing the existing client, only the description can be changed (the abbreviation must remain the same, because the databases and directories are named by it).
Picture: The Administration of clients form - page 1 in Change mode
When inserting a new client, the check boxes are displayed on the form. They can be checked arbitrarily. Users who work and manage K2 only from K2 must check all fields.
Picture: Inserting a new client - Ins
Selected fields description:
Create directories |
If this checkbox is checked, a directory with the same name as it is specified in the Abbreviation field is created in the main K2 directory. |
Create SQL database |
If it is checked, the database is created on the server. A name of the database consists of the master database name and the client abbreviation. [Database K2 entered at installation] _ [Client abbreviation]. |
Import data from directory |
If it is checked, the data from the selected directory will be imported into the created database. All "*.des" and "*.hes" files of all data tables must exist in this directory. The files for creating INIT and DEMO databases are delivered with the K2. INIT serves for the creation of a new real company, DEMO can be used for testing on data which are prepared by the company "K2 atmitec s.r.o." All "*.des" a "*.hes" files has to be placed in one directory. The directory can be changed by using Change directory button. |
After pressing F2 key, the changes are saved and actions selected by the user are executed. The user is informed on currently running actions by means of dialogue boxes with the client creation progress. It is not possible to work in K2 during this time.
Clients - 2nd page
The buttons for presetting directories and databases of the given company are available on the 2nd page of the Clients form. This buttons are started when creating a new client.
Note: To work with this page it is necessary to set the right Administrator - Clients - Client, page 2.
Picture: The Administrator of clients form - 2nd page
This page is accessible in the Browse mode only. It can be used, for example, when you create a new client by means of Insert key, enter the Abbreviation and Name fields and save the changes. On the 2nd page in Browse mode you can set the required data, i.e. the first line of buttons (Directories, Databases and Data Import) has the same meaning as check boxes on the 1st page.
Buttons Description:
Directories |
After pressing the button, a subdirectory DATA, which is saved in the directory called "CLIENT ABBREVIATION", will be created. |
|
Database |
After pressing the button, the empty tables will be created on SQL server. After only creating the SQL database, the client is not working. |
|
|
If you want to import the data to a new client, a database must be firstly created by means of this button and then the import can be carried out. |
|
|
Note: To create the SQL database, the user logged onto Windows must have the rights of SQL administrator. |
|
Data import |
Data are imported from the set directory to the client, providing that the data exist in "*.DES" and "*.HES" files format. |
|
|
When creating a new client, it is recommended to use data from the INIT directory. If you need to change the set directory, use the Change directory button and select another data source. |
|
OLAP support |
The database called FIRM_DM will be created on SQL server. The database will serve as OLAP support. |
|
Add to login window |
After pressing the button, the client name will be added into the options of Client drop-down menu in the login window of K2 system. |
Procedure of data copying from one client to another:
- In the original client, enter into the Database Administration book in the Administrator module and indicate the files, which you want to copy, by means of asterisks (Shift+F2 keys indicate all the files).
- From the Database Administration module menu select the function Form - Bulk Actions - Database Export.
- The data are exported to the directory "CLIENT"/DATA in "*.DES" and "*.HES" format.
- In the Change client form, enter into the 2nd page of the new client and press the Data Import button. In the offered form select the path, which the files are to be copied from, and press OK button.
Other recommendations:
K2 IS presupposes rather that users are assigned to a client which they will work with. If one user is to work with data of more clients, it is recommended to enter the user with more names. The main advantage is that the different rights can be assigned to a user for each client.
It is important to prohibit users from Administration of Users right what prevents from changing users' rights, and Switch over the client right to prevent them from logging into a different client than that is preset for the users.
Note: If you have any ambiguities about the definition of the client, please, contact your consultant.
Task scheduler
Advantage is that the actions in Task scheduler run on application server and so the users can sign to it from any place and without K2 running. You can check the tasks from any K2.
Finance
Recalculations of cash register balances
Function Recalculation of cash register balances is closely described in documentation Finance - Cash register - Functions over cash register documents - Recalculation of cash register balances.
Recalculation of bank account balances
Function Recalculation of bank account balances is closely described in documentation Finance - Bank - Bank statements - Functions over bank statements - Recalculation of bank account balances.
Marketing

It will start ARES function, which adds or actualises data of a customer or a partner. It will run upon the selection of customers or partners defined in the filter.
Function will run with parameters, which has ARES function set in Administration/Parameters/ARES parameter.
Workflow
New processes
Batch creates new process from a procedure, which is defined in the field Procedure. Procedure does not have entered any user interface in the beginning event (definition of variables, filter of users).
Administration of objects
Function Administration of saved objects is determined mainly for work with Filters (Class TxFilter). The main purpose of this function is display of invalid filters and their editing. In addition to filters, other objects that can be deleted, edited, moved among levels and checked are also loaded here. The function is in tree menu Administrator - System - Administration of objects.
If a user has set the right Service actions (Administrator - General), all objects available for that user will be loaded and displayed here. In case a user does not have the right Service actions, program usually uses container for a current user upon default list of all objects loading. The buttons Invalid objects, Initialize and the functions Remove inconsistencies and Conversion rules under the Tools button are approachable just for the users who have the right Service actions.
After you run the function, the form Saved object manager, where (in dependence on set right Service actions) all accessible objects will be displayed.

After confirmation of filter conditions by means of OK all objects meeting the set conditions will be displayed.
The button Invalid objects
If there are invalid objects (e.g. selections),, their list will be displayed after pressing Invalid objects button. Invalid object can be deleted or edited in Saved object manager. Button is approachable just for those users who have the right Service actions.
Invalid "Factory" objects can be deleted in the case of:
1. The user has the right "Administrator / Access settings level / Global"
2. The object is marked as invalid, it is a part of a result " Invalid actions"
Picture: Saved object manager - button Invalid objects
The button My objects
Deals with special case of filtering, when the parameters are set in the way all objects are entered with a log-in user. The same result is also achieved by means of general filter.
Picture: Filter of objects of currently signed user "K2" - the button My objects
Button Initialization
The Initialize button runs the function Initialization, which is a part of required K2 initialization after re-installation. Function Initialization makes the control and automatic correction of invalid objects of some classes. The button is accessible to user with Service actions right.
After pressing Initialization button, the file AlterFields.unknown.xml will be created in user directory. Unknown fields as (OldFields) and their data modules (DataMClass) are placed here. This file can be re-named, copied into {MainPath} and used as a base for Conversion rules.
Tool button
There are 4 functions under the Tools button: Remove inconsistencies, Conversion rules, Export and Import.
Remove inconsistencies
After reinstallation to the higher version, it is possible, through the action Remove inconsistencies, to find and remove invalid records from the tables ObjRow, ObjStorage and ObjAssign, in which the configuration objects (eg. filters, columns) are stored.
When the action is complete, a log containing a log about the found problems is displayed. Each object, that is evaluated as an invalid or unnecessary object, is saved into a directory, which name is specified in the log, before deletion.
Picture: Remove inconsistencies - the log of found problems
Conversion rules
The Conversion rules button serves for editing the contents of {MainPath}\AlterFields.xml file. Conversion rules enables to define a couple of identifiers <old ProgName, new ProgName> for classes of data modules. File can be actualised either by Object manager editor in or by copying. These information can be used by Initialization function for an automatic correction of some invalid objects. The classes TxFilter/Selections and TxGridColumns/Columns as are supported.
Conversion rules enables to correct some objects automatically in case that it is really possible to replace one identifier by the other.
Picture: Conversion rules - AlterFields.xml file exists
AlterFields.xml factory file exists and contains the list of renamed and conversioned fields, which can be replaced freely. AlterFields.xml file contains serialised TxAlterFields collection. Each item of TxAlterField class contains these properties:
DataMClass: string - DM class, which concerns OldFields and NewFields fields. If it makes sense, even class of abstract ancestor (e.g. TDPrask) can be used.
OldFields: string - the original field, which has been renamed. Value can include one identifier or more separated from each other by means of semicolons.
NewFields: string - new field. Value can include one identifier or more separated from each other by means of semicolons. Value must define valid field, otherwise upon an attempt of replacement the exception will appear.
Example

Picture: Form Set Internet connection - proxy
Select communication protocol with proxy server into Type field: (You can find "HTTP", "SOCKS 4", "SOCKS 4A" or "SOCKS 5" definitions of particular types here on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SOCKS). Authentication field in proxy server enables to select if you use the name and password (value "name and password") for logging or no (value " without authentication").
SOCKS in any variant cannot be used for web services. Web services are: Creditcheck, Octopus, Reliability of VAT payer, PPL and other, for which you can use "THTTPRIO".
Reinstall manager
Reinstall manager is important to secure your K2 system re-installation. Manager is places in a tree menu in Administrator - folder System. For the work with Reinstall manager it is important a user has set the Service action right.
Picture: Administrator - Reinstall manager
Reinstall manager form will be displayed after its running.
Picture: Reinstall manager
Checked box Login prohibitedprevents users from signing in to K2 IS except for the user who has set a sign-in ban. It ensures that re-installation is not interrupted by any user from K2 IS. Login prohibited from field enables to set from what time the users cannot login. If login time is before prohibited time, the report that from that time is not able to log into K2 IS, is displayed. This report can be set in Login message field. The abbreviation of current login user, who makes the setting in Reinstall manager, will be added into the User field.
Picture: Login window K2 IS - Login prohibited checked field
Picture: Login window - after you fill the field Login prohibited from
The moment the field Login prohibited is checked, it is possible to make active even the field Reinstallation enabled. Thus the user confirms that reinstallation can run. To check the box, all users must be logged out of K2 and all compulsory initializations in the given version have been processed. If the check field is not checked, the installer does not allow to continue.
If the field is not checked, the reasons appear in the field Reasons for not checking field.
Picture: Reinstall manager
On the form Reinstall manager is then the checking field Apply actualization automatically. Checked field means that upon K2 installation available actualisations have been installed. Actualisations have been released after installed version release and the user cannot bother with them later on.
Picture: Reinstall manager
The button Check of structures makes the check, if database structures meet the K2 definitions. You can run the control at any time because it is not bound to the Login prohibited or Reinstallation allowed check boxes. The same control is processed in term of installer preparation for reinstallation as well.
Picture: Reinstall Manager - Structure control
If it is necessary before reinstallation from lower version to do some actions, extra button Ready for "particular version", which contains needed actualisations, will appear in Reinstall manager.
Attention: After re-installation is completed, the K2 still remains in reinstall mode and you cannot log in. The user who has made the setting in Reinstall Manager has to log into the K2 IS after the re-installation and clear the Login prohibited check box in the Reinstall Manager. Then it is possible to log into the K2 IS under any user.
Note: As long as the K2 is in the reinstall mode, the user, who has set the reinstall mode, is warned about this fact during closing the K2 by the message "K2 login is forbidden. Really finish?". If the user selects Yes, K2 will exit, if No, the user remains logged on.
Picture: K2 system message when closing K2
Modules
The Modules book is used for writing of all the inputs to the individual modules. The book displays the date of input, number of module, its name (description), number of licence, number of inputs to the module, (it records the presence of every user that takes longer than 1 minute) and in the Difference column the concrete value is displayed at the moment when the user enters the module for which he/she does not dispose of the licence. The records in the book can be sorted according to the date of entry or number of module.
Picture: Modules book
External Additional Fields
This function enables to add a new field to the heading of each module. Except for the table, it is possible to add field to any module page. Before adding the field to the module, it is necessary to define it in the book External Data Fields (activated from tree menu – selection menu Administrator – System)
The fields can be added to a random page of a module apart from 0th page. On the 0th page the field can be displayed by adding of a column with a program field name. In the field you can set a value or a text that can be inserted manually (it is not calculated field). It is recommended to consult this issues with a consultant of the K2 atmitec company before starting of work with data fields.
Creation of additional field
External additional fields are defined in the External additional fields book (the Administrator - System - External additional fields tree menu). Create a new record by pressing Ins key and fill the fields on the 1st page.

Picture: Adding of a column of a new data field on the 0th page
The inserted data field will be kept after re-installation too and it is not possible to delete it in the form. Because of this it is necessary to provide treatment of the work with external data fields by the rights in the Administrator - Users module (on the 5th page of the Users Administrator - General - External additional fields). Data fields are saved in the company directory in the Form_0 subdirectory. The one option, how to delete data fields, is just from this directory.
Application statistics
Application statistics enable you to monitor numbers of runs of monitoring actions. A monitoring action can be any transaction, computer action, script or a report. It is possible to monitor how intensive is the use of particular function or system customization. E.g. it is possible to hold all running scripts and reports and better to prepare for an actualisation for a new version. It can be statistically used for increasing the efficiency of investment into the system.
The you can see in evaluation by means of dashboards who and when the function was used.
By using the application statistics at the same time you agree with sending the particular sample of anonymously statistical data (without identification of users) into K2 atmitec company. In those data there are no specific or even delicate information, just statistical information about usage of particular functions. These data are then used for optimalization of K2 applications or services connected with them.
Administration of application statistics
The setting of the Application statistics module is defined in the Administration of application statistics. The function is added in Administrator - System - Application statistics - Administration of application statistics tree menu and is accessible just to users with Statistics settings (Administration - General).

Reinstallation
If text fields are changed or cancelled during conversions, the full-text key is automatically cancelled to avoid errors during the execution of conversion SQL queries. After the conversion is complete, the version initialization is run. The initialization tries to recover the cancelled full-text keys by definition in K2: Administrator - set fulltext keys, function 778.
Fulltext key recovery can be a time-consuming operation that is performed on the SQL Server background. Keys are therefore available for query only after the operation is over in the background.
If an error, that can be caused by missing fields in the fulltext or by changing the primary key of the table, occurs during the restoration, the error is written into the log in the SetupLogs\repairfulltext_(client).log. file. The mentioned incorrect fulltext keys need to be checked and corrected, see the chapter Fulltext keys setting.
