Editable InfoPath Form In Outlook

Hi,
I have created an InfoPath 2013 Browser form which collects data from users and have created a SharePoint Designer 2013 Workflow for Form Approval which sends email to approvers with link to InfoPath Form. Everything is working as required.
Now the users require the infopath form to be edited and approved through outlook email instead of opening it in browser.
I hve created data connection to email InfoPath form to Approvers on Submit, however it just sends the read only view of the form and the Approve Reject buttons disappears in mail body.
Kindly suggest.

I believe this is the info you need:

  • Infopath form in Outlook

    Hi,
    Is there anyway to show infopath with submit button in outlook email?
    If user opens up email, they should see infopath form with submit button and if they click button they data should be stored back to sharepoint library.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks.
    AA.

    Even if this were possible, I still think you would have to provide some credentials to submit back to the library. Why not just include a link with the specific form needing submission? 
    The way you could do this would be to create a workflow in SP Designer on the library. Once a item is submitted, send email with a link like:
    http://yoursite.com/_layouts/FormServer.aspx?XmlLocation=/form/[%CurrentItem:Name%].xml&ClientInstalled=false&Source=http://yoursite/form/Forms.AllItems.aspx&DefaultItemOpen=1
    That way once they click the link they will be directed to the exact form needing to be submitted.
    Here is a full guide on how to do this.

  • Submitting InfoPath form via Outlook Address book.

    Hi there,
    Is it possible to have an info path form used so that there is a submit button and the user is able to choose the email address of their choice to have the form sent? Right now I only see the option of configuring a data connection with a pre filled in email
    address. 
    Example. I create a form. A user opens it and needs to submit it to one person in our organization, possibly from the Outlook address book. 
    I see a people picker but that does not allow you to submit.
    Thank you.

    Hi SarahShay,
    You can use a people picker to store the people that you want to email, then create a submit button configured to send the form by e-mial to the people of the people picker.  
    More information, please refer to the link:

  • Infopath form people picker not working in outlook 2010

    Hi,
    I have created custom task form which has reassign feature. If the form is opened in IE, people editor control is working but in outlook account names are not resolved and dictionary also not working. There should be some work around as OOTB  approval
    task form could able to do it.
    So, Question is, why people picker is not working in Outlook? and how to make it work? If I store user profile in InfoPath form, people editor in outlook is working. but how to make a dynamic soap connection ?
    Thanks.

    Don't mark your own post as an answer when you obviously didn't understand the question...
    Dharnima mentioned it is working in IE but not working in Outlook, so it's obviously not because the
    "Requested By" field is in read only otherwise it wouldn't work in IE either.
    Like Navid.R mentionned, the problem is indeed when going through the "Reassign Task" button, but coming from Outlook.
    I have the same problem where the people picker validator and the people directory button doesn't work, only when coming from Outlook. I do click on Reassign Task, but I am unable to valide or open the people directory with both people picker buttons, simply
    nothing happens.
    I tried adding a native SharePoint Approval workflow to my list, and this one works fine. I can click the "Open Task" button in Outlook, click "Reassign Task" and then the people picker works perfectly fine.
    However my custom workflow (that has default forms) does not work when prompted from Outlook.
    I even tried to delete both forms and republish my workflow, so SharePoint can regenerate the forms by itself, it did generate new forms, but no luck either.

  • Force Check Out For Infopath Form while editing in browser.

    Hi,
    Can Someone tell me How to Force Check Out for InfoPath form while editing in browser. 
    Any Help Would be more than Welcome.

    Rohan,
    Sorry but you have posted to a forum that deals exclusively with questions/issues about customizing and programming Microsoft Project, a planning and scheduling application. I suggest you delete this post and find a forum for InfoPath or the browser you
    are using.

    Hi,
    To hide/disable controls based on user group in an InfoPath form, a solution is that we can call User Profile Service to check the group of current user, then hide/disable
    specific controls by setting some rules in form.
    Here is a demo with steps in details would be helpful to you:

  • Submit / Approve / Reject Infopath Forms from within Outlook Email

    Hi,
    I have a requirement where I am building workflows for a client in SP2013. I am using Infopath and Nintex.  The client has a specific requirement that all end-user actions need to be handled from within the outlook email body context i.e. the Infopath
    form will be embedded within the email body from where each user within the worklfow will access the form and interact based on their actions.
    So my query is,
    1) How to control the Views for each user within the Infopath form if its to be embedded within the Outlook email.
    2) How to control the actions for the user interaction (submit, approve, reject, etc.) so as to ensure the workflow proceeds with its process cycle as expected.
    In the whole scenario, the end-user wont access the inofpath form in the web browser or the infopath client application. It will be accessed from within the Outlook email.

    Hi,
    When we use SharePoint approval workflow to assign tasks for users, then the tasks will be sent together with the email, users can click Open this task button in Outlook to view the task form.

    When you submit an InfoPath form as a email, then users can click Open Form button to open the forms from Outlook which needs to have InfoPath installed.

  • The trial period for this product has expired - When trying to edit an InfoPath Form (Edit in Browser)

    Hello,
    When I tried to Edit an already filled InfoPath Form using "Edit in Browser" I got the "The trial period for this product has expired" message, could anyone help me where to start checking what could be wrong?

    Hi,
    Have you got the error when doing other tasks in SharePoint site?
    The issue may be due to inconsistent permissions on the 12.0 hive in the HKLM_Software registry for the WSS_WPG and WSS_ADMIN_WPG groups. The OOB permission set
    should be: WSS_WPG has Read permission and WSS_ADMIN_WPG has Full Control permission. To resolve the issue, please try to rerun "psconfig.exe -cmd secureresources" on every server in the farm will reapply the necessary permissions
    on the registry. Or you can open up the registry editor and find the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office Server\12.0 collection. Provide read permissions for the WSS_WPG and Full permissions for WSS_ADMIN_WPG manually.
    Hope it helps.

  • Quick Edit Mode and InfoPath form

    I have a SharePoint list that has a InfoPath customized form.
    The InfoPath form has two drop down fields that have a Data Connection to a another support SharePoint list
    The connection allows the second drop down list to be filtered by what the user chooses in the first drop down list (cascading fields).
    The data in the support SharePoint list is updated.
    If a user edits an item using the InfoPath form all is good BUT if a user edits an item in the Quick edit mode the drop down list fields are not updated with the changes in the support list.
    I think this is because if InfoPath is not used the data connection is not invoked and the support list changes are not pushed down to the consuming SharePoint list.
    Is there anyway a user can edit an item directly in the SharePoint list and still get the data updated in support lists that use a data connection in the InfoPath form?

    Hi,
    Yes，it is by default that the Quick Edit feature cannot consume InfoPath data connection. Cascaded Lookup function is not supported on Quick Edit Mode in SharePoint 2013.
    As far as I know, there is no solution to enable cascaded lookup function on Quick Edit Mode.
    For more information, you can have a look at the blog:

  • Complete InfoPath form without InfoPath external customer

    I have installed and setup SharePoint 2013 Enterprise and have been using InfoPath form libraries without any issues
    I need to create a form that our customers will complete but not all of our customers will have InfoPath installed.
    I tried to use the email form but did not show the form in Outlook, instead it just displayed the xml code
    My question is what is the best type of from to create and how to allow external customers to view and complete the form
    Thanks

    Hi,
    According to your description, my understanding is that you want users to create and view an InfoPath form when the computer doesn't install InfoPath application. Is it right?
    You can design the form using InfoPath in your computer, then publish the form to a SharePoint site. And when you publish, make sure you select "Enable this form to be filled out by using browser". Then after you publish it, users can create or
    view or edit the form using browser.

    Hai ,
        i am unable to edit pdf forms . on clicking on the form text field error message comes as "font capture" message heading and content as
    "C:\Windows\system32/ATMLIB.dll is either not designed to run on Windows or it contains an error. Try installing the program again using the original installation media or contact your system administrator or the software vendor for support."
    if pressed ok . aplication get closed
    i reinstalled all aplication with old versions but sill have the same error .please give  a solution . thank you.

    thank you for the suggestion, but I do not have a "Send Email" or "Submit" button available in my version. I have "Attach to email" option which automatically opens a new message in MS outlook (which I did not set up, it just started doing so automatically) without any further dialogue boxes or options.
    Also, this is only for regular PDF files, not forms.

  • Cannot view InfoPath Form on SHarePoint 2013 since I removed SkyDrive for Business and installed OneDrive For Business

    I removed SkyDrive for Business and installed OneDrive for Business on my laptop. After that, I had problems opening a Word and Excel document in a SharePoint site (SP2013). After installing Service Pack2 from Office2010, this problem is solved. 
    But I still have the same problem with InfoPath. Whenever I click an InfoPath form (I have InfoPath 2010 on my laptop),...
    ... I get the error "cannot display web page".
    When I change the URL 
    ms-infopath:ofe|u|http://intranet.water-link.be/samenwerken/awwit/Autorisaties/Gebruikersbeheer/2015-02-25%20Aanvraag%20gebruikersbeheer%20voor%20Stephanie%20Geeraerts.xml

    I can open the InfoPath form and read it.
    Any ideas about how to fix this ? I already tried to restore the Office 2010 via Control Panel - Install Programs but without any success... 

    Hi Gert,
    As I understand, you can’t open InfoPath form in SharePoint 2013 unless you change the URL without “ms-infopath:ofe|u|”.
    There are some reasons which maybe cause this issue, and you can try to do things below:
    Access CA -> General Application Settings -> Configure InfoPath Form Service -> Check the two options in User Browser-enabled Form Templates.
    Go into the registry by typing regedit from the Run line and rename the SharePoint.OpenDocuments.5 key (ex. SharePoint.OpenDocuments.5.old) under HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT.
    In library settings, click "relink documents to this library".

  • Insert Print button on Infopath form for particular view

    Hello,
    I want to insert "Print" button on my InfoPath form, by clicking on it which can give print preview with print option.
    I am publishing my form through SharePoint Server into one form library.
    So unable to edit using site actions > Edit page.
    Could you please guide me how to it in simple way....not with customization.
    Thanking you in advance.
    Regards,
    Jayashri

    Hi Jayashri,
    I may not make myself clear. If we can get friendly print view of form, then we can use IE browser print option to print the form: IE gear settings > Print.
    If you need to seperate print button on form, you could edit form web parts > edit page then insert content editor web part with:
    <input onclick="window.print();" type="button" value="Print"/>

  • Infopath form for sharepoint 2013 lags when searching for person or group.

    Dear all,
    After implementing a infopath form on sharepoint, the search for person or group column lags when I search for someone the second time. (The first time won't lag). Is there a fix to this? And is there a way to modify the search for person or group function
    to sharepoint OOTB person or group search? I think the OOTB one is a lot better. Thanks all.

  • When opening an InfoPath form InfoPath states "list does not exist" in production, opens fine in test. NaN issue with Auto Increment

    Hello all. I have an InfoPath form that opens from the test server fine. However, when I try to open it in Production I receive the following SOAP response.
    "The SOAP response indicates that an error occurred on the server:
    Server was unable to process request. ---> List does not exist.
    The page you selected contains a list that does not exist.  It may have been deleted by another user. ---> List does not exist.
    The page you selected contains a list that does not exist.  It may have been deleted by another user."
    I am trying to fix an auto generated form field for the web part that runs the my Project Management list. In test the increment by 1 works fine. I.E. "LEAD-2015-5". In Prod the list is returning NaN ( Not a Number ) for each project
    id. I.E. "LEAD-2015-NaN"
    The list is in Standard View when I edit the web part/page.
    Any help is much appreciated. As a developer I despise SharePoint, but I have to do what I have to do! :)

    Hello,
    If you are trying to get max item id from list then it returns "NaN" if there is no item. If you have items in prod list then open your form in IP designer and check the data connection. Make sure that all data connection links are referring to
    prod links.
    Also make sure that user is having at least read permission to that list to access data so verify this also.
