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

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?

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.

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.

Problem connecting to hosted sharepoint site using hotspot connection with Telstra 3G

I have problems connecting to a hosted sharepoint website using hotspot conection - either the page doesnt load (IE) or I get repeated sharepoint authentication prompts (Firefox). The problem is specific to this hosted site, we can successfully load other webpages, and can access another companes sharepoint extranet using iPhone hotsot connection. I have tried changing the cellular data APN settings on the iPhone from telstra.iph to telstra.internet but this did not solve the problem.

Look at the JSSE examples. You need to setup a key store, add the jsse jars to your classpath, yadda, yadda, yadda....

Hi,
Maybe there is a duplicate in UniqueID of the form so you have that problem. Please check the uniqueID.
You try using FormCreationParams object.
I am using FormCreationParams and i dont have any problem in loading the form..
here is a code(but im using c#)
                    oXML = new System.Xml.XmlDocument();
                    oXML.Load("load.srf");
                    innerxml = oXML.InnerXml;
                    creationPackage.XmlData = innerxml;
                    creationPackage.UniqueID = <FormUID>;
                    oForm = UI.SBO_Application.Forms.AddEx(creationPackage);
                    oForm.Visible = true;

Using custom control in Infopath 2013 to populate a Custom List in Sharepoint

Is there any way to add custom controls, such as InkCapture, to sharepoint list forms? My specific application requires me to use a sharepoint Custom List so I developed a form in Infopath to serve as the data entry point. Unfortunately there is no option
to add or use custom controls when editing my form in Infopath.
When I create a Form Library all my custom controls are available to use.
Any ideas?
Much Appreciated!

Hi,
InfoPath is only a forms editing tool and does not provide for grid editing or other expected features like adding any custom control, you can design a template
part to reuse in multiple form template here you can create your own custom control by using existing control in InfoPath and you have facility to write code to implement any business logic that’s called template part and you can add this template part in
your any InfoPath form over and over. Here is the link for creating the custom template part in InfoPath.

Here is the list of features that you can use in List form, InfoPath form and using SharePoint designer you can choose as per your nee.

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 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 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.

Strategic Data Systems - for all your SharePoint needs

An error occurred while trying to connect to a Web service, when InfoPath web enabled form loads.

Hi Everyone,
I am getting an error message: An error occurred while trying to connect to a web service, when my InfoPath form tries to load. The last few days, it only spits this error message in the morning and around 12pm-1pm it resolves itself and the form loads
fine the rest of the day, oddly enough.
A few things about my form:
1). It is web enabled
2). The form submits to a form library on the SP server
3). I use the UserProfileService data connection in the form to auto-populate a few fields
4). I use a udcx file with correct language stored in the root of the site collection in the data connection library
5). The form has been working fine until a few days ago
I noticed while in Central Administration, that the User Profile Service Synchronization is Stopped. Not sure if this is causing some or all of the problem. If I need to start it I will need to contact my farm administrator to do this, since I do not
have the service account information.
Also, I looked thru the log files on the SharePoint server and found the following by searching for the Correlation ID shown when the error comes up, I won't put in everything just the important messages.
Schema file was already loaded: BuiltInActiveXControls.xsd
FormServer Partial Trust - Proxy operation invoked in the SHIM process.
FormServer Partial Trust - Invoking proxy operation for Web service adapter failed with exception Operation is not valid due to the current state of the object. for Url=https://<SP URL>/_vti_bin/UserProfileService.asmx
Data adapter failed during OnLoad: The custom code in the form cannot be run. This functionality may be deactivated on the server. For more information, contact the server farm administrator.
The following query failed: GetUserProfileByName (User: , Form Name: Expense Report, IP: , Connection Target: <SP URL>/Data Connections/GetUserProfileByName.udcx, Request: , Form ID: urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:infopath:Expense-Report:-myXSD-2014-04-11T21-06-32
Type: DataAdapterException, Exception Message: The custom code in the form cannot be run. This functionality may be deactivated on the server.

Hi B.,
You are on the right track. I recommend that you first get the User Profile Synchronization Service started because that itself could be the root cause of the issue.
If that doesn't fix it then focus your attention on the GetUserprofileByName data connection. I always use my secure store ID for this connection. I add the ID by editing the udcx file and then publishing it again.
Hope this helps.
