How to use an infopath form field in the designer workflow

Hi,
I need to send an email to a person field from Infopath form. Can i access it in the workflow. If not, is there a way i can send an email on form submission from within the infopath form.
Please help. Thank you.

Hi Prajk,
There are three ways of achieving it, one i will say its pretty straightforward and covers the basic of Infopath Forms Development
1)Populate Fields From Infopath Form at the time of Publishing.
The moment you done with your form and to publish you click FIle>Publish>SharePoint Server >Enter the Url of Site> Then Click Next twice upto a point where wizard asks "The fields listed below will be available as SharePoint Columns" ,
Click Add, select the placeholder in myfields for Person Field , expand the "person" group field and choose "AccountId", give the name to column(this will be SharePoint List Column Name) and for function select "first" and then
click next and Finish.
And use this field in Designer Workflow to send email.
2)Second way is to write VSTA based C# code on click of your  Submit action on the form and upload and activate this form on form library via Central Admin.
3)Now other way of doing this is via Event Recievers.
Every infopath Form is an XmL File so on ItemAdded event you can extract its content and implement email sending c# code there:-

  • How to automatically update InfoPath Form fields(Design) when a new Column is created in SharePoint list?

    Hi All , 
    We have a scenario to automatically update the Infopath form(List Form) fields(Field Name and Control) when ever a new Column is created in the SharePoint list. Is it possible to do this? any options or suggestions?
    Thanks and Regards,
    Nandini

    Hi Nandini,
    I am not very sure will this be going to help you. Ideally, it's not so easy to communicate with infopath using object model. But still you can give it a try using below link :
    http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/forums/sharepoint/en-US/00125fdc-2115-47ea-8e8b-1ca9e5942f83/update-infopath-form-field-in-event-receiver
    I think the above solution is trying to update the field. Addition to that you can try creating a field and control.
    Let me know if it helps  !!

  • How to Validate a Portal Form field from the database

    I created a Portal Form based on a procedure, which requires three parameters. One of the parameters is Item Number. I need to check if the Item Number exists in database. I am trying to use pl/sql button event handler, where I try to use the select count(*) statement to verify. However, I don't know how to reference the form field in the where clause. Please advise. Or is it possible to achieve this by creating a javascript? If you go to 'Shared Component' provider and click on javascript, you will see some system validation scripts, which you can call in the form level validation. My doubts with javascipt is how I can talk to database in the script? Any input is appreciated.

    Hi,
    You cannot access the DB from the script. If you want to access the values of a field you should use session variables. Here is a sample to access the values of a form field.
    declare
    ticket_no varchar2(20);
    flight_no varchar2(20);
    blk varchar2(30) := 'DEFAULT';
    begin
    ticket_no := p_session.get_value_as_varchar2(
    p_block_name => blk,
    p_attribute_name => 'A_TICKET_NO');
    flight_no := p_session.get_value_as_varchar2(
    p_block_name => blk,
    p_attribute_name => 'A_FLIGHT_NO');
    end;
    Thanks,

  • How to populate a field in an Infopath form based on the people picker input - only OOTB approach

    Hello,
    I have 3 lists : Resource , Project, Contract
    In "Contract" list i have created a form with MS Infopath 2010. This form is used to collect data of a new resource joining a project . This form also takes the information about the resource's costs.
    Scenario :
    Project informations are already present in the "Project" list.
    Any new resource who will be joining a project will be added in the "Resource" list at first . This list has its own form to do so. While adding this resource the form asks for the project which should be assigned. This is dealt with.
    "Contract" list : In this lists form their is a people picker field where the resource email id(already inserted in "Resource" list earlier) will be typed by me. There is a field which will capture the project name.
    Issue in "Contract" list:
    When i type the resource email id and click on the people picker icon , the project field in the form should get auto populated with the corresponding project of the existing resource so that i donot have to type the project name again. This project info
    should be fetched from "Resource" list only.
    Please let me know how i can achieve this by OOTB approach .
    Regards,
    Guru

  • I paid for exportpdf and everytime i try to use tool on pdf, it asks me to subscribe. i have to log into website EVERY time. not acceptable.  how can i export only form fields that were filled in?

    i paid for exportpdf and every time i try to use tool on pdf, it asks me to subscribe. i have to log into website EVERY time. not acceptable. Some forms can't be saved so having to log in and only use webtool to upload a saved pdf won't work.
    as well, how can i export only form fields that were filled in if I can get pdf to save to computer?

    Hi kstine,
    I can see why that would be frustrating! Have you tried selecting Stayed Signed In underneath the Adobe ID and Password boxes when you try to log in?
    What did you use to create the PDF form? If you used FormsCentral, form data is saved to your online FormsCentral account. If you have Acrobat, you can export form data as described  here: Adobe Acrobat X Pro * Manage form data files
    Best,

  • How do I create a text box or form field on the top of every page of a pdf in XI Pro for titles?

    I generate pdf content from another program and then in Acrobat XI Pro I want to add titles to each page.
    I'm thinking I can use form fileds and duplicate across all pages but how do I make each form filed unique?
    Or could i add a form field to a background and then apply the background to every page in the pdf?
    thanks.

    This type of thing is probably best done with a script, either by adding a uniquely named field to each page or by spawing a template page that contains just the form field (like your last idea). There's not a built-in method for doing this. If you add a blank page to the beginning of the document, create the field in the location you want, and make the page a template, you can run the following script in the interactive JavaScript console (Ctrl+J):
    // Get a reference to the template
    var t = getTemplate("Field");
    // Spawn the template on each page, automatically renaming the fields
    for (var i = 1; i < numPages; i += 1) {
        t.spawn({nPage: i, bRename: true, bOverlay: true});
    To run the code, select it all in the console and press Ctrl+Enter, or Enter on the numeric keypad.
    To make a page a template in Acrobat 11, make sure you're on the page you want to make a template and select: Tools > Document Processing > Page Templates
    and enter a name. I used a name of "Field" in the example above, but you can use anything.
    To create a blank page, you can use the following script:
    newPage({nPage: 0, nWidth: 8.5 * 72, nHeight: 11 * 72});
    for an 8.5"x11" page. Adjust the numbers to match whatever your page size is. It will be added to the beginning of the document and you can then add the field and make it a template. Once the fields have been added, you can remove the template page.

  • How to store forms fields into the session ?

    Hi All,
    I have to store forms fields into the session.
    I have four forms (htm forms) in four jsps and there are total 25 fields.
    I am inserting all the fields into the database at once while user submit the last form.
    I want to use session to store forms fields.
    So please anybody tell me how to do that.
    Is the following code correct to store the forms fields into
    the sesstion........
    // creating a session
    HttpSession session=request.getSession(true);
    // retrieving form fields
    String name=request.getParameter("customer_name");
    String business=request.getParameter("business");
    String address=request.getParameter("address");
    and so on....
    // store form fields into the session
    session.setAttribute("name",name);
    session.setAttribute("business",business);
    session.setAttribute("address",address);
    and so on....
    and later on get the value as:
    session.getAttribute("name");
    session.getAttribute("business");
    session.getAttribute("address");
    and so on....
    OR
    is there another way to store form fields into the session.

  • How do I bring form fields to the front or back?

    I have a document with many form fields/push-buttons in order to create pup-up effects in an info graphic.
    So I use fields to create a mouse-over hot spot, and others that pop up. Now, of course, the hot spot must be in front (or on top), otherwise it gets distracted in it's mouse-over function by the popped-up object (image) that lays over it. (The result would look like a flashing effect, as you roll over the hot spot.)
    Now how do I arrange the fields?? Ich can arrange images and texts to come to the front or hide behind other objects. But in the form field editing mode there is no such option. Also it doesn't work to just cut and paste them, they re-appear in their former position, often behind the other fields.
    Please, help! Thanks, Peder

    Thanks, I will give it a try. To "recieve the focus" means being activated / hovered?

    The tab order effectively sets the z-order, but if a field is not read-only it will be set to the front if it receives the focus.

    I don't know what you mean by "terminal name". If you want to get the user's IP address, you can create a stored function (or create a package, and include the function there), that returns the USERENV sys_context variable. Here is how you create a function on the database:Create or replace Function IP_Address return varchar2 is begin
      Return sys_context('USERENV','IP_ADDRESS');

    /Now, you can use the function from a SQL select, another procedure, or a form. Here are several examples:
