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 :

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 !!
Thanks

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 redirect from Infopath form from old sitecollection to new sitecollection

We have moved sharepoint infopath form to new site collection i.e. QA to Prod.
The link for infopath in email is pointing towards QA. Is there any way that when user open the link for infopath from email. It should redirect to production infopath item.
e.g.
The link in Email: https://qaserver/sitename/formlibrary/req1.xml. Could it be redirected to
https://prodserver/sitename/formlibrary/req2.xml
Any idea?

Hi fsd,
For troubleshotting your issue, let's verify the followings:
Where was the email from? Whether it was from the workflow approval email.
How did you move the SharePoint InfoPath form? Whether you use Export/Import to do it.
If the link was the link linked the item title in a workflow Approval email, please try to re-publish the workflow.
If the link was defined by yourself in a workflow email, you need to change the URL manually in the email action, then publish the workflow again.
If this issue still exists, please feel free to reply.

Wendy

How to automatically open date/time field (calendar) when end user tabs to that field

Have two calendar fields...calendar 1 and calendar two
Is there a way to have the calendars automatcally open when field is either clicked on or tabbed to?
thanks

You can try one work around:
Add another UDF time with plain text field.
Implement post-insert event handler to insert time value in this field. In the event handler you can write the code to put time in the format you want.

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

How to automatically update products and product categories?

Hi friends
How to automatically update products and product categories.Is it possible?
regards
venkat

Hi,
The delta load does not work for product categories but only products.So to bring in the new product categories into SRM you will need to start the load of the object DNL_CUST_PROD1 again.
The CRM middleware allows the following two methods for replication.
-Initial loads:
Launched manually (R3AS), the objects (customizing or business) are replicated between SRM and R/3, according to the filters you've put on the object (R3AC1 for Business objects like MATERIAL, R3AC3 for customizing objects like DNL_CUST_PROD0 and 1).
-Delta loads:
This option is only possible for Business objects, which is the case of MATERIAL.
With this option a daemon is launched between the 2 servers. Every modification made on an object on SRM or R/3 is transfered as soon as this object is contained in the filter retrictions (creation and/or modification). this is done through transaction R3AC4.
Also refer the foll thread:
Material group from R/3 to COMM_CATEGORY (SRM)

How to create an automatic email when a new announcement is created

Hi,
In Sharepoint 2013, how can I configure it to automatically send an email to all users when a new announcement is created?
Regards,
Stephen.

You have 2 options
#1 You can set Alerts at the announcement list level as shown below. In the send alerts to users you can add your user emails or distribution list email and choose email as delivery method. You can choose to
send Announcements on various actions that are there on the form. This is simple way. This send email the out of the box style. You cannot change that.
#2 The other option is to use SharePoint Designer and set a workflow on changes and send mail. You can customize the look and feel of it there.

Setting default value for form field assoc with a table column

On a "Create Record" situation I was trying to set the default values of some form fields using a page level "Process". These form fields have Source Type = Database Column. It wasn't working, I could only set non-db assoc form field values no matter when the "Process" was set to exec. From some other posts it seems that this is by design, ie. not being able to programatically set the initial values of form fields that are sourced to db columns. I was hoping to have just one "Process" that would exec to set these initial values in one place rather than scattered about for each field that needed a default value. These particular default values come from ref tables and may be different for each user.
So, it looks like I have to use a "Default Value" plsql chunk for each field on the form itself or else set their value on the calling form's Redirect in the "Set these Items" area.
Is this correct?

You could define a database function which accepts the name of the item and the user ID of the user running the application. Based on the item name and the user ID have the function return the appropriate initial value. Invoke this function in a "Default Value" PL/SQL block.
Does that help in centralizing your initial values? You could have one function per page or one function per application. I would do one function per application.

Symbol will automatically update in your (bb logo), when you broadcast this message.?

hey guys i have a quick question. (hopefully)
i recived a bbm message full of symbols (smileys and little logos) and at the bottom it said
Symbol will automatically update in your (bb logo), when you broadcast this message.
so my question is, if i broacast this message (which i have no clue how to do so if someone could tell me that would be very appreciated) will i get all these symbols in my symbol list?

hmmm sounds a bit fishy to me, I don't see how broadcasting this message to all of your contacts is going to magically unlock these symbols.
