Expose infopath 2013 forms to internet

Hi
I am working with SharePoint 2013.
Have created a InfoPath form which has 15 fields and the data is published to SharePoint Form Library. Now I want this form to be accessible through internet.
Can anyone suggest what needs to be done from the server perspective. I have one server which has IIS, SharePoint 2013, SQL server 2012, Infopath 2013 client etc..
Currently I can access all the sharepoint site hosted in this server through intranet.
Please suggest how to expose this to internet? and able to access the infoPath form through internet.
Thanks.

Hi Sudhir,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to access InfoPath form from SharePoint form library via Internet.
Per my knowledge, you need to first ensure that you enable Anonymous Access for your web application. You'll then need to set up DNS for the domain you own to point to your web front end server (or virtual IP if it's load balanced). Then set up the appropraite
IIS bindings for the web application, and finally you'll need to extend your web application to an Internet Zone and give it the appropriate domain name.
There are some similar posts for your reference:

InfoPath 2013 form will not open in browser

Greetings All,
I have a scenario where I have created a InfoPath 2013 form and it will not open in the browser; it always opens it in the rich InfoPath client.
The only thing I have done differently here is to apply a content type, from the content type hub, to the form library. I am doing this because I was to reference the same content type in a records center; which would allow me to easily move instances
of the form data file to a records library.
When I exclude the whole custom content type thing, the form publishes and can be opened in the browser without issue.
Any suggestions?
Thank you in advance...

Hi Bob, at the risk of sounding too obvious, do you have your library set to open documents in the browser, and in the InfoPath settings?
cameron rautmann
Hi Cameron,
Yes, it is. What I have been able to determine is; there is something special about the Form content type. If I create my own content type, derived from From, it won't work. Very weird.

Infopath 2013 form load problems connecting to a SharePoint Library.

I have created an Infopath 2013 form. I am connecting to a SharePoint 2013 library. In the infopath form I have multilple views with rules. (Rule is: if title field is blank use default view). When I first open/create a new form in sharepoint
(using the web browser option) the default view is there. After submitting the form, I then try to add a new form and the second view is now the default view. Is there a setting I need to change. I have pretty much tried everything I can
think of to fix this. Your help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi,
According to your description, my understanding is that the second view became the default view when adding a form in SharePoint library.
By default, the default view will be loaded when opening the form.
How did you set the rules in the InfoPath form?
If the form loads with the second view when opening the form, I recommend to check if there is any Form Load rule to load the second view by default.
Could you please provide more details about the form for reproducing?
Best regards.
Thanks

How do I use infopath 2013 with visual studio 2013 to modify forms with code?

Dear all,
I am using sharepoint online and infopath 2013, I wonder how do I edit infopath 2013 forms with visual studio? When I try to edit form code it says I need visual studio 2012 and some other tools, I installed them and visual studio 2013, I wonder how
do I get rid of the message and start coding? Can someone provide a detailed procedure of doing so? I am having trouble with creating multiple items with single infopath form with repeating table on sharepoint online. Thanks.

Add button to SharePoint 2013 form with InfoPath and/or SharePoint designer

Since I am new to working with Sharepoint 2013, I have the following questions to ask you about Infopath 2013 and possibly SharePoint Desinger 2013:
1. Yesterday I created a custom list in my 'test area of SharePoint' and opened the list in Infopath 2013 to see what the form would look like. Now I have alot more columns and edits to add to the list. I am planning to add more columns to the list when
I am in my 'test area' and then make cosmetic changes to the form using Infopath 2013. I am thinking that if I continue this way, I may lose some ediut changes I have made using Infopath 2013. Thus can you tell me the best way to add more columns to the list
and/or modify the existing columns and not lose the edit changes that I made using Infopath 2013?
2. The infopath 2013 form does not contain any buttons to click. I need a button to show up for every user to click so that a workflow can be started. Do I need some kind of a task list(action)? Thus can you tell me how to add this type of a button to the
form?

Wendy, Please go through this video from
channel 9 (http://channel9.msdn.com/Blogs/NickDallett/InfoPath-2010-Customize-a-SharePoint-List-Form) which will uilding froom explain similar form building from scratch.
As per Peter's replay yes you can update form even after add columns in list and you can add extar control like button to your infopath form.
Workflows are usually started when creating or updating an item inside a SharePoint document library.
Open the workflow in SharePoint Designer and under "Start Options' on the workflow's home page, remove the check from "Start workflow manually...". Be sure the check either "Start on create..." or "Start on change...". In
your case I think you would use "Start on create...".
Hope these inputs will help

Office 365 Sharepoint Online and Infopath 2013

I'm looking create an InfoPath 2013 form where the view changes based on the current user. This is so different departments & managers get access to fields regular submitters don't see.
This is in SharePoint Online with Office 365. How can I manage this? I have tried connecting to SharePoint online via a data connection, but I get errors when it tries to make the data connection.
Are there any tutorials on how to do this, or at least something put point me in the right direction?

Infopath 2013/REST Web Service - XML Data format

I've created an Infopath 2013 form and connected it to an existing REST Web Service. The form connects successfully, but I can't get to the nodes that contain the actual data. The REST results look like this:
<wddxPacket version='1.0'>
<header/>
<data>
<struct>
<var name='MIDDLENAME'><string>S</string></var>
<var name='FIRSTNAME'><string>John</string></var>
<var name='UID'><string>jdoe</string></var>
<var name='EMAIL'><string>[email protected]</string></var>
<var name='DEPARTMENT'><string>IT ADMINISTRATION</string></var>
<var name='TITLE'><string>Director</string></var>
<var name='LASTNAME'><string>Doe</string></var>
</struct>
</data>
</wddxPacket>
When I connect to the web service in InfoPath, here is what I see:
Notice that when we expand the tree, it only shows the "struct" node. How do I get down to the actual data fields?
Thanks in advance.

Hi cflbasser ,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to query data using rest web service in InfoPath 2013.
For achieving your demand, please refer to the blog:

Infopath 2013 use rules to display validation error

In a new InfoPath 2013 form, I want to add rules that will display validation error messages on textboxes when a user enters invalid data. This would be like when no data is entered entered (left) blank.
I would like to display a unique error message under each textbox that is incorrect preferably. I would like the error to stand out and be unique with wording and colors being red.
Can you show me how to accomplish this task?
If this is not possible, can you show me other ways I can highlight the column and indicate somehow there is a problem and hopefully show what the problem is?

I think there is a misunderstanding. You don’t need any C# code to validate the data in the form. InfoPath form is there for non-developer. Simply use InfoPath Validation Rule to validate your data.
If necessary, you can add text box with validation message and set up Format Rule to show/hide.
You can also create View as your form review step. Click “Page Design” ribbon tab
à Click “New View”. Then, add a button to switch the view in the main form. When
user clicks the button it will navigate to review form which is another InfoPath View. I think I’m going too far. You may need to open a new thread since creating a new form (View) is different topic.

One Infopath 2013 custom list be access by 2 workflows

When accessing an InfoPath 2013 form that accesses a custom list, I have found that I need to split up an existing workflow 2013 into 2 workflows. This is due to the workflow 2013 does not contain some features that workflow 2010 contains.
Thus I have the following questions:
1. Can a workflow 2010 call a workflow 2013? If so, can you tell me how to make this call?
2. Can I have the custom list that is accessed and updated by both a workflow 2010 and workflow 2013? If so, can you tell me how to connect the same custom list to both a workflow 2010 and workflow 2013?

Hi Wendy,
You can click into the "parameters" and if there are any parameters need to be filled in the 2010 workflow selected , you need to give the values there; and if there is no parameters there, then you just need to click OK.
It depends on the steps in the 2010 workflow.
For "this item", I recommend to select Current Item as the 2010 workflow is created to be associated with the same list as the 2013 workflow.
You can refer to the links for more details about Start a list workflow:

InfoPath 2013 start a workflow

In a new InfoPath 2013 form that uses a custom list, I would like to add a custom button and/or something to click on for the user to eventually 'start a workflow when item changes'.
Right now since I am in the early phase of the process, and it would be fine to 'start the process manually' also. Basically I would like directions on what a user can click to they could start the workflow.
I found the following link and it shows how to start a workflow from the documents library:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=afttEV61kQI
I would like to know how to have this same process occur from an InfoPath 2013 form where the user clicks my 'button/item' and does not click on the 'auto generated' save button.

assuming that the workflow should not necessarily start ANY time ANY file changes (which is a default option, and requires no custom dev effort)... what I've seen a few times, is for the form to include a checkbox ("start workflow")... the workflow
starts, and checks for the condition... and stops if the checkbox is not checked.

Infopath 2013 want display of error messages easier to find for user than default

In an existing InfoPath 2013 form that I am working with, there are edits in the custom form that uses a custom list. Which is ok. The problem is it is hard to find all the errors if there are a lot of errors.
What I would like to do is have an error message display in red under every column where errors are located after the user hits the submit button.
Basically I would like to have some way of allowing the users to find all there error messages a lot easier after they hit the submit button.
Thus can you tell me if the above request is possible? If so can you tell me and/or point me to links that will have all the error message(s) easier for the user to find after they enter data in a column or they hit have save button.

I think you don’t like pop-up showing error message when you click the Save. It is automatically created by InfoPath form and user doesn’t have control over this behavior.
Best option would be not allowing user to submit the form if the form is not valid. How to do it is easy by using InfoPath rule.
1.
Disable InfoPath Ribbon.
2. Add custom submit button
3. Set up the rule to disable (or hide) the button if the form is not valid
You can enhance this form by display user friendly message in red next to each label or right above custom button.

InfoPath 2013 customized forms no longer working after linking Sharepoint 2010 list to MS Access 2013 database

Hello,
I am having trouble with my infopath form now that I have linked my Sharepoint list to an Access database.
Background: I created a simple SharePoint list and a few workflows to have users submit requests for changes to my organization's EMR system and have those requests be approved by the appropriate manager/department. I used
InfoPath to customize my form so that it would hide/show different portions depending on what the user selected. The form has 3 views: NewItem, EditItem, ViewItem.
Issue: The form and workflows were working great until I linked my SharePoint list to an access database so that I could run queries and reports using that information. Now when I click "Add New Item" on my Sharepoint site,
the correct form opens but the fields do not allow me to input any data and some of the formatting for the form has changed (ie: the text boxe fields are no longer centered. I opened the form in InfoPath and it displays perfectly fine in there but
not once it's published to the site) .
The only way that I've been able to input new data is using Datasheet view in SharePoint.
Is there a way to fix this issue? I really need to be able to have the customized forms for users to fill out the information since most users are not familiar enough with SharePoint to expect them to be able to use Datasheet view to submit their requests.
Again, I'm using InfoPath 2013, Access 2013 & SharePoint Server 2010
If the issue cannot be fixed, how can I disconnect or unlink my SharePoint list from the Access database because when I cliecked on "delete list" from inside Access, a warning popped up stating that it will also delete the list off of SharePoint
as well. If I can get the list back to the state it was in before linking to Access then I'll be happy enough to export it excel and then importh the excel file to Access as a work around for reporting purposes since I don't have to run the reports that
often.
Any insight would be very helpful!!

Hi Bostic,
I tested the same scenario per your post in my environment, however the InfoPath form was not affected if I used the list as external data in Access database.
The issue may be due to the browser you used.
I recommend to verify the things below:
Change another browser to see how it works.
Add the site to the trusted zone and add to compatibility settings in Internet Explorer.
Test with a new list to narrow down the issue scope.
As a workaround, you can save the list as a template including content, and then create a new list based on this template.

So this is new... InfoPath 2013 on SharePoint 2013: Create a New Custom List, Edit Form in InfoPath, Attempt to Publish and...

InfoPath blows up with an error message saying "Invalid form template"...
No, I do not have any added data connections in the form.
No, I have not added any fields or done any modifications of any kind to the form.
I am doing exactly these steps:
Open SPD
Create a New Custom List
Open List in SPD
Click "Design Forms in InfoPath" (Item)
Form opens in InfoPath 2013
Click Publish (or Quick Publish...doesn't matter)
See error message
This wasn't a problem in my environment liiike, a week ago..? The only thing that's different is that I installed some security patches on the servers this morning...

Hi ramz,
Also you can try to check if there are more useful ULS logs related to InfoPath issue according to the time of this error "Invalid form template" occured, it could help troubleshoot the issue.

Close Window.Open after InfoPath 2013 submit form

Hi,
I've made an InfoPath 2013 'new' form in SharePoint 2013, but when the form is committed, it should close. So I've made a button on the form to submit it. In the rules in InfoPath, I said that it should close after submitting.
I open this form from another internal application as a window.open() javascript. In IE, it opens the form, when I submit, it stays open and the SharePoint list where the data is added to is opened too. However, in Chrome, it opens
the list in the same window after submitting, which is already slightly better.
My InfoPath rule when I submit:
So the idea is that the internal application opens the form thru a link, user fills in the form, the form submits to the list and every window closes, so the user can continue in the application, without seeing anything the SharePoint is doing in the background.
Hope any1 can help me solve this issue.
Kind regards,
Nils

Hi,
Thanks for the reaction. I've just checked these links:
The first one: I don't have any rules set to change the view of the list, so this isn't the case.
The second: As you already see in the screenshot, I've set the submit to the right action.
So, I guess neither of them are a solution to my problem, but thanks already for answering!
Hope anyone else or you have/has other idea's.
Thanks in advance,
Nils

Create several forms in infopath 2013 for list item

Hi
I have a list
I would like to create SEVERAL view
in infopath 2013 each indepanate
view to another by URL
For exemple :
i have "list costumers",
And i have (
forms 1 = www.msdn.com/liste/form1
forms 2 = www.msdn.com/liste/form2
forms 3 = www.msdn.com/liste/form3
Said WAHID

Hi,
You can create the multiple views in the InfoPath form and switch the view based on the rule. In our scenario, you can switch the rule based on the list view.
Please refer to the following article.
