Adding Controls dynamically in the Infopath/Web form with dynamic controls

Hello,
The client requirement is to create SharePoint solution for the below image. A web form/Info-path form will be created where user can enter the details and data will be submitted. I am looking for a solution to implement the requirements in SharePoint .
if not possible then using customizations and SQL server.
User can enter the Title , Overview in the form , which we can make Single line and multiple line of Text. The problem is with third , fourth and fifth fields.
1) In third field , i.e. Qualification Summary , User can add/delete , dynamic text boxes..This can be achieved I think using repeating tables/sections in Infopath...How data will be saved in SharePoint columns as it is not fixed that how many
columns user can enter , how columns(static) will be created in the list ??
2) For fourth field , user will select one or many Project description title n descriptions which are there in the system..User will not write anything just select..But how many project descriptions they can select , again its not fixed..How
we can manage it in SharePoint List OR any custom solution  ?  
3) For fifth field , user will select one or many Awards which are there in the system.User will not write anything just select..But how many awards they can select , again its not fixed..How we can manage it in SharePoint List OR any custom
solution  ?

>Lets say , the data for user selection is stored in two separate lists
secondary data connection is only for one list so you can get data from only single list by creating list connection. Later you can drag & drop that connection as repeating table or bind with any control so display in form. If you have mulitiple list
then you may use lookup column or would need to create two seperate data connection.
>Do you think its a right approach ?
multi selection listbox is helpful if requirement is select multiple records or filter records. You can almost achieve most of the requirement but still depends on business need. Ofcource some limitation is also there.
>I'm planning to propose a custom .net form
Of course custom form is always better than OOTB in some cases but i always prefer OOTB solution if my requirement is being achieved by it.

  • InfoPath web forms from sharepoint 365 submission - question about copying senders on submit

    I have set up a few InfoPath web forms.  I tested including an email field when the submit is processed it will also send a copy to the email address entered in that field.  I am just seeing if there are any options available for the user to
    be able to open the file after the attachment is saved from the email if they don't have InfoPath on their machine? any way for them to save as a word doc, pdf etc?

    Hi,
    As I understand, you want to know the attachment sent with the InfoPath form email can be saved as other file types.
    The attachment sent with the InfoPath form email will stored as XML files.
    If there is no InfoPath installed, we can export the XML data to Excel, Access or PDF.
    The article is about importing and exporting form data and form templates for your reference:

  • Dynamically set the upper limit of a numerical control

    I want to dynamically setting the upper limit of a numerical control. The maximal value that is allowed to input is calculated by the code, so that if the value input by the user exceeds the upperlimit,  a warning comes out and the input value is automaticaly reset to zero.
    I wired the calculated upper-limit to the property node of the numerical control using ''Data Range > Maximum" property, but it does not work as I expected.
    Anyone has suggestion on this? Thanks a lot.

    Can you attach your code?

    I cannot read your mind. What do you expect? What to you see instead?
    Overall, you are in a catch22 scenario if I understand you right. If you set the max of the control to coerce to a certain value and you enter a larger value, it will be coerced to the upper limit and the code does not see the original out-of-range value and you cannot successfully test it with a comparison operation. Maybe you can set it to "ignore" instead of "coerce" or not even set an upper limit. Simply use "in range and coerce" and reset the value under the desired conditions (e.g. via  a local variable) before handing it to the rest of the code. You could even wrap this into an xcontrol.

  • Attribute dimension in the planning Web form

    Hi All,
    Is there any option to populate attribute dimension as a drop down in the Planning web form, I see option to show attribute dimension in the Other Properties page in the web form, But attribute dimension is not showing in the drop downs. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks in advance.
    KGP

    I don't think there's anything specific one does to make the attribute dimension show up on the form.
    When I look at the Member Selection Entity window on my form, in the upper left hand side I see a box labelled "Members in Entity".
    Directly below that is another box labelled "Attributes".
    Are you sure that you really have the attributes assigned?
    You can check in Classic Planning, by managing dimensions, selecting Entity, and then clicking on the Custom Attributes button. You should then see the attribute dimensions/members assigned to Entity.
    You can also check in EAS.
    I believe the association also appears in EPMA but it's been a while since I looked at it.

    we are using the G Web Server with LabVIEW on a WinNT 4 machine. Up to now these works fine. Therefore I would recommend you to choose a more stable OS.
    Maybe you can try to programmatically restart the server every 2 days. Within LabVIEW you would do this by running "HTTP Server Control.vi". Unfortunatly all connections will be closed, thus be aware of that!

  • How to use web services with Dynamic url behaviour

    Hi,
    IView created by me currently uses some web services whose url behavior is static but i want to give a dynamic url behavior. i.e. i want to use the url which user provides. So here are my questions
    1. How I shall assign the url supplied by the user to IView?
    2. If I want to set some config variables during runtimes how I shall do it?
    Thanks in advance,
    Vishvesh

    Hi,
    1. I'm guessing you mean the webservice's url the user provides is pointing to an identical webservice to what you used to create your proxy... otherwise I think it will be very hard to do (I can imagine creating the proxies using the wsdl tool in run time or using code dome.. but that can't be what you want, right?).
    So if what you wanted is to use the same web service with a different url, then the web service's proxy class you created has API for doing this in code! (it inherits it)
    2. you can't, simply since the portal application doesn't ever use the config file... it isn't even deployed to the portal... so dynamic properties are "out of the question" here, sorry... see 1 again

    There is a known issue that sounds like the problem you are experiencing

  • Is there a tool that exports and imports Planning Web Forms with securities

    Hi,
    Is there a tool that exports and imports Planning Web Forms with securities?
    Besides Planning FormDefUtil.cmd
    OS: Windows2003
    Planning Version: 921
    Thx

    I don't think there is any one utility that exports both forms AND security. In version 9.3.1, the ExportSecurity.cmd will export dimensional security and form security. However I seem to recall that earlier versions only gave you the dimensional security, and not the form security. Unfortunately, I don't recall at which version the change was made.
    Have you given the ExportSecurity.cmd utility a shot?
    Hope this helps,

  • Integration between InfoPath web forms (browser side), SharePoint 2010, and Word or Excel

    To begin with the end in mind, here's what I need to do:
    User A (employee) fills out infopath form in browser.
    User A saves infopath form, workflow runs, and sends a link to the manager
    User B (Manager) opens infopath form, clicks a button, and all the information from the saved infopath form magically appears in a excel document
    Here's how I did it, because I couldn't find an easier way to do it. This is an InfoPath no-code solution (uses web service and workflow I had to build) and this is working somewhat:
    In InfoPath Designer 2010, created the form from Blank 2007 form template.
    Published the form and promoted fields to Sharepoint 2007 as a new forms library.
    Created a view on forms library to show all fields (SQLExportView1).
    Created SSIS package to import data from SharePoint forms list using the view "SQLExportView1" into a new database and table in SQL Server (tblSQLExport1).
    Created SQL Agent job to run this package every 2 minutes.
    Created workflow to notify manager.
    Created excel document with an external data connection to SQL server.
    In SQL, created a stored proceedure ("spGetCurrentID") to truncate, then add a row to a table ("tblCurrentFormID").
    On InfoPath form, added a button that takes the current infopath form "ID" into a table in SQL server by calling the stored procedure via a web service.
    On Infopath form, added a hyperlink to the excel file which opens in the client.
    In excel, added a button on the workbook that queries the SQL database for the current form ID, and drops it into a cell.
    In excel, added a button on the workbook that queries the SQL database for the sharepoint list details that were exported via SSIS, returning only the row for the current form ID.
    In excel, created a button on the workbook that displays the fields I want in the location I want
    With over 25 users concurrently hitting the form library, there is a chance that when they open excel they will generate an excel document with bad data in it (data from someone else's current ID).
    I've since migrated to SharePoint 2010, and it works the exact same way in 2010.
    What I want to do is find a way to get the data that is already saved in the infopath form DIRECTLY to Excel by clicking a button without the web service, the stored procedure, the SSIS package, the SQL agent job, etc.  My problem has always been
    in getting the data from infopath into RAM/Clipboard/temp file(?) and imported into Excel by bypassing the SQL.
    Of course, I would like to do this without requiring an administrator approved template in InfoPath, and have it be much more simpler to maintain. There are a lot of moving parts.
    Please point me to any examples or make recommendations. The requirement is that users open the form, the data is filled out already, and with a click of a button, the data shows up in excel automatically in the right place for the item they're currently
    looking at in infopath.
    Now that I've got this working (kind of) for one excel document, management wants to add 25 other documents that this one infopath form can generate. 
    Therefore, once I get this to work better for one excel document, I can add other excel documents.
    I've considered passing a parameter to the excel document in Excel Web Services, as I believe that excel web services 2010 can support this. However, I believe that the macros that run in the excel client okay won't work in excel web services 2010.
    Users would prefer to open Excel in the client, though, so not sure I'm going to go down this path.

    Clayton,
    You rock - thank you for all your responses!
    The infopath form was built doing what it does long before the need to get the data into Excel.
    You are correct in that I could have modified the infopath code to save to SQL, but the fields in the form and on the forms library columns do change before and after the manager approves it.  As such, adding some code to submit the infopath data to
    SQL could have been used to write data into SQL server instead of leveraging SSIS/SQL Agent to do so. However the aformentioned workflow (see way up in the thread) does more than just send an email to the manager with a link. It also edits some fields in the
    forms library column on that particular list item. By using SSIS, every two minutes they get the latest stuff from sharepoint into SQL without having to add code in the workflow or - if possible - on the infopath code that does a table update where item=abc.
    It is common to get data from sharepoint into sql, regardless of whether or not it is a list or library (including infopath forms libraries). There is sample code on Codeplex that has been downloaded close to 40,000 times for this purpose which I'm sure
    you are familiar with:
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd365137(v=sql.100).aspx and
    http://sqlsrvintegrationsrv.codeplex.com/releases/view/17652
    I agree with you in so many ways on why they should not be using excel (or word) to present the information. Having InfoPath or a custom workflow magically convert the data presented on a specific view in a filled out InfoPath form to PDF and emailing it
    would be wonderful, but it simply is not a possible solution.
    Surely you're familiar with companies that have a word document that, say, a manager will email to someone as an attachment, then the employee prints out the word document, fills it out on paper and signs it with a pen (or fills out a fillable form, then
    prints it), they then either fax it back or scan it and email it back to the manager, who then prints it out and hands it to a VP for a signature, etc.  Yes, the process is very old-fashioned, but in health care, finance, and for legal compliance reasons,
    some places simply have to do their manual processes the way they are. I've suggested and shown examples of how it can all be done electronically with digital signatures, etc., but their legal compliance officers and board members do not agree to this methodology.
    As such, I work within the confines I am presented with, as I'm sure you've had to do as well.
    I myself have worked for several Fortune 100 firms for many years (Microsoft, T-Mobile, etc), know what is possible. However the place I am at now, many of those options simply are not possible.
    They use excel (and word) because that is the templates the legal department and third party companies they work with gives them to work with. 
    If you've used enterprise OCR systems (LaserFiche, OnBase, Hyperion, etc.) you would be familiar with the fact that in order to scan and index keywords from OCR cover pages, the document has to have fields in a certain location. While I have tried to
    get the InfoPath form to line up properly, I cannot print out headers or footers and page breaks where the OCR system requires and expects them to be. What's more: when you print a filled out infopath form that loads browser side, as you know you get the browser-related
    stuff with it. Although they're all on the same web browser (finally - IE8) and all on windows 7 and office 2010, I cannot control the fact that some users use large fonts and other accessability features to make their 21" screens run at 640x480 (exaggeration).
    When you do this, it changes the margins in the print area, and more.
    If I could take the data that is in infopath, merge it with an excel template, and export that to PDF, that could be an option. Not looking to buy some enterprise PDF generating product, though, and looking to do this as close to a no-code solution as possible.
    Why we're suggesting PDF, perhaps we should be considering XPS, since we are staying with the Microsoft technology stack here.
    Perhaps I should rephrase my original question like this:  "I have 25 different documents that all need to be filled out automatically. Each document has different text on it, but the fields that need to be filled out on the documents are almost all
    the same. I want to present one form for users to fill out, and once saved, to generate all 25 different documents. How would you do this?". While not entirely accurate, as not all 25 documents need to be created at once, only on demand with a click of a button
    for each document, perhaps that is a better way of stating the need.
    Thank you Clayton (and all you lurkers out there hoping to find out how we solve this).

  • Dynamically changing width of web form

    Folks,
    I'm sure someone must have come up with the same problem as me.
    We have a forms 6i system running on the intranet (IE5). The forms fill the whole of the browser window if the client PC has a resolution of 800 X 640, but for larger resolutions (like 1024 X 768), the form only occupies part of the browser window. Now, I know that this is dependent on the 'WIDTH=' and 'HEIGHT=' parameters on the formsweb.cfg file. Indeed, if I increase these values, and then run the system on PC's that have resolutions of 1024 X 768, then the forms now look OK. But of course, this now causes a problem where the PC's have lower resolutions! What I want to do, is to dynamically change the WIDTH and HEIGHT parameter values dependent on the users machine settings. I can use javascript to get the users' PC details - no problem. But when I try to code this into the BASEJINI.HTM file, then I cannot run the system at all. I don't think I can use javascript directly in the FORMSWEB.CFG file, as it isn't a 'html' file.
    Has anyone else had this problem ? - you must have if you develop forms on the web with different resolutions settings. And how did you guys get around it?
    Please help!

  • How do I use the vector web forms??

    I'm new to using vector graphics and need to know how to go about using these web forms using Illistrator to make it functional on a web site. I tried opening it with the Illustrator, Fireworks, but not sure how to get the white fields to actually work like a text field. Hotpot will only link to another page which I don't want. I want the user to be able to enter their email address or whatever info is required then be able  to submit. Please help!

    That graphic is for making a wireframe/design. It cannot offer any real form functionality.
    To create a form with that appearance, you will need to wrestle with HTML, CSS, and your choice of scripting languages to process the input.

  • How can I change the default web form names?

    I'm using the web forms in Business Catalyst, but our web site is in Norwegian, so I want the default FirstName and LastName values to be displayed in Norwegian in the error message when the field is not filled out.
    At the moment the user will get an error saying "Skriv inn First Name". "Skriv inn" is correctly translated from English to Norwegian, but the value "First Name" has to be changed. The same applies for "Cell Phone Number".
    Also, I don't really want two fields for the name, I want the form to have just one field that is called "Name" or "Navn" in Norwegian.
    I have tried deleting the name fields and replacing them by custom fields, but then I get an error message when the form is sent saying "ERROR: An error occurred. Your web form must capture customer name and email address. Please fix this issue and re-insert your web form on your web page."
    Also, why does some of the "-" before the error have a space, and some not? I want all the errors to be displayed with a space between the dash and the error.
    The e-mail error is automatically translated into Norwegian for some reason, but it should be a dash in there, so it says "e-postadresse" and not "epostadresse".
    Is there anywhere I can customize these error messages? Or at least change the values of the English fields to Norwegian so the error messages display the Norwegian field names, and not the English?

    That is very helpful! Thank you!
    But how can I change the dashes that are shown before the error? It really annoys me that they are shown inconsistently with different spaces like this:
    - Error 1
    -Error 2
    - Error 3
    -Error 4
    And is there any way to change the automatic translation from English to Norwegian?

    Problem:
    I want to add an iframe (using Page View Web Part for example) on all mysite users front page (person.aspx) with following address:
