Refresh InfoPath form without closing it

Hello, i'm trying to refresh a section in infopath list form without closing the form. I don't want users to close and open the form again to see the field data. how can i get this done????

Hi Fadnan,
I understand that you want to refresh the InfoPath form without closing it in SharePoint.
I recommend to edit the form and add a Update Form button which is used to refreshes all data in the form.
You can set the Update Form button action by adding a button control to the form, and then going to the
Properties for the button control. The Update Form button action is located in the
Action drop-down list box on the Button Properties dialog box.

Rich text box used in Infopath Form not displaying option to get images from Computer

Hello,
We have used "Rich text box" in Infopath Form which is not displaying option to get images from Computer.
Options available are : From Address, From SharePoint
But if we Rich text box in list, then it works fine with "From Computer" option.
can you please help me out to get this option.
Thanks in advance.
REgards,
Jayashri

Hi,
From your description, there is no “From Computer” option to get images with rich text box in InfoPath form.
Per my knowledge, by design there are “From Address” and “From SharePoint” options without “From Computer” option in rich text box in InfoPath form. As a workaround, you can develop a custom InfoPath Rich Text box to do it.
About developing a custom InfoPath control, I suggest you create a new thread on the forum “Visual Studio Tools for Office”, more experts will assist you with InfoPath development.

Some fields from InfoPath form not showing up in Sharepoint

I created an InfoPath form containing a checklist that sends data to an InfoPath document library in Sharepoint 2010.
Most of the fields that I have linked to the sharepoint transfer their data just fine, but 2 of the fields come out blank in SharePoint.
I have attempted the following fixes to no avail:
Created site column and linked to it
Deleted column and had Infopath create a column in the library
The fields are not identically formatted either. Both are single item drop down lists, one is populated by an external data source (sharepoint list) and the other has manual list values. Both fields have other fields in the form that are formatted
identically and work just fine.
help!

Do the choice items match up in the form to the options available in the list?

Infopath Forms Not Opening in Broweser - Problem not organization wide, just one user

I have a browser enabled, Infopath 2010 form that has been in production in Sharepoint for a couple of years now. The form is a browser enabled form but it keeps opening in the Infopath client when the forms are opened via Sharepoint. As far
as I know, there is only one user in our entire organization that is having the problem. The problem did not start until a new site master page was implemented a few weeks ago.
In addition to the form not opening in the browser, he does not get the sharepoint drop down arrow when hovering over a file name in this library. I was going to have him try selecting "edit in browser" but he does not get the menu.
I've seen dozens of posts on how to resolve this Infopath issue as an enterprise wide solution, but my problem is limited to one user.
The following has been confirmed:
Infopath Forms Services feature is active
The form was designed and published as a browser enabled form
The library advanced settings for "Opening Documents in the Browser" has the option selected for "Open in the browser".
The affected user is using IE 9 32-bit. I made sure he was not using 64-bit as I've seen a lot of other Sharepoint problems with that before.

Hi,
For a better troubleshooting, I suggest to do as follows:
1. Please check whether add the following code in the master page(<head/> tags).
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=8"/>
2. Check whether it works on the user colleague’s computer.
3. Try to use IE8 to check whether it workds.

SharePoint 2010 - InfoPath form not opening in browser but prompts to open or save the xml

I have 6 site collections for a web app. An InfoPath form has been deployed which is filled by users from each subsite under these site collections. Until recently the form is working fine but recently it stopped opening the form in browser on 4 out of
6 site collections. On the site collections it's not working, when users try to open the InfoPath form, they get the option to save or open the .xml file. This form hasn't been changed since Dec. Not sure what broke this. Can any one help?

Hi,
1.Check whether feature is activated for the infopath form on site collection level. if it is not activate and it will open form in browser.
2.You need to set Browser
File Handling to Permissive.
Open Central Administration -> Manage Web Applications
-> Select web application -> General Settings >>
Browser File Handling >> set to Permissive .

SharePoint list InfoPath form not showing updated column information

I am working with a SharePoint site where I am using custom site columns to update multiple lists. When I update the column information in Site Columns the modifications push to the lists and they update as expected, however, their InfoPath
forms do not and they still reflect old column information in the available Fields. Typically the form notifies upon opening that the list has been updated, and then updates the available form fields to match. Versioning is set to automatically update the
template and to automatically upgrade existing forms. Does anyone have any ideas as to why the form would not pull the updated list columns? Thanks for any guidance!

Hi,
List\library column in InfoPath is stored differently from site column. InfoPath stores the list of Fields that are published to SharePoint document libraries in a local manifest along with the columns which these fields are associated to. This is
accomplished by referencing the column ID in SharePoint (a unique GUID value) with the InfoPath Field. While the site column ID will not change.
You could refer the link below for the scenario related to this difference:

Approval Workflows with Browser-Based InfoPath Forms Not Opening In Browser

Hello,
I have an InfoPath forms document library with browser-based forms. Once a user submits a form, I have them utilize the built-in Approval workflow. The approval workflow emails the approver and provides a link to the document. When they click the link in the email, it trys to download the InfoPath XML form instead of opening in the browser.
How do I get it to open the form in the browser when I user clicks the link to it from the email or the approval task in the tasks list?
Thanks

Using jsp:include in showOneTab - main form not loaded on submit

I have a JSP page with JSF and ADF components. It is a large JSP containing some main details and then an af:showOneTab component to create a set of tabs. It works fine with JDK 1.5 and Tomcat 5.0 but when changed to Oracle Application Server 9.0.4 and JDK 1.3 We get the following error:
JspCompileException:.... code too large for try statement catch( Throwable e}....
Finding this to be caused by large size of JSP, we divided the page as follows - a main jsp containing the main form details and 1 jsp for each tab. Whenever one of the tabs is clicked the corresponding JSP is dynamically loaded using jsp:include tag as follows:
<af:showDetailItem text="Tab1" id="tab1" styleClass="menu">
          <f:subview id="viewTab1">
               <jsp:include page="Tab1.jsp" />
          </f:subview>
</af:showDetailItem>
There is a Submit button in the main jsp, when this is clicked the main jsp is reloaded.
But when the user navigates to any of the tabs and then clicks the Submit button in the main form, the main form is not reloaded - only the jsp for the currently selected tab is loaded.
(I am using f:view and h:form in the main form, and no form tag in the included jsps)
How to solve this problem?

The af:selectOneChoice components are in the test.jsp page included in main.jsp with jsp:include tag.
The code look like this:
               <af:selectOneChoice label="#{msg.team}"
id="soc1"
value="#{myBean.selectedTeamID}"
autoSubmit="true">
<f:selectItems id="si1" value="#{myBean.teamList}"/>
</af:selectOneChoice>
<af:selectOneChoice label="#{msg.subteam}"
id="soc2"
value="#{myBean.selectedSubteamID}"
partialTriggers="soc1"
rendered="#{myBean.selectedTeamID!=null}"
autoSubmit="true">
<f:selectItems id="si2" value="#{myBean.subteamList}"/>
</af:selectOneChoice>
the code works fine in the seperate page, but when I include the page the second selectOneChoice component doesnt get rendered.

Browser enabled InfoPath form not opening in browser from a link in a Task list

I have a browser enabled InfoPath deployed to SharePoint as a template in a Forms Library. The form opens in the browser when a user navigates to the Form library and clicks New.
There is an Approval workflow associated with this form which kicks in whenever a new Form is submitted. The workflow creates a task in a task list. The task list shows a Link column which provides the link to open the form. Now, when a user clicks on the
link (in the Task list), the form always open in InfoPath instead of opening in a browser.
I see that the URL for the form (http://<Server>/Training/Enrollment%20Forms/<FormName>.xml) is same in both the Forms Library and Task list link.
What am I doing wrong or what do I need to do to make the form open in browser from the Task list link.
Thanks
Rajat

This question is asked constantly - we just discussed this last week, I believe - so you can probably find a lot more discussion to help you out if yous earch within this form or browse through the topics. The reason for your issue is because of
what you just wrote - the URL is directly to the XML file, so it tries to invoke InfoPath. Browser forms are rendered by Forms Services, which has a much different URL. Go click on one of your existing forms, and notice how different the URL is.
To get forms to open in the browser when invoked from a different location, you must use this full Forms Services URL. Built-in workflows only generate a link to the XML file, and since the task in a different list than the form, then it has no idea
how to open the form in the browser. Only users who don't have InfoPath installed will see it in the browser automatically. This is why I generate my own URLs dynamically with custom workflows and don't use OOTB workflows.SharePoint Architect || Microsoft MVP ||

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:

How to submit InfoPath form data to multiple SharePoint lists at one time?

Hi,
I'm looking for a way to submit certain data in InfoPath form to separate SharePoint lists at the same time. I have a form that has two views with many data in them. I want to keep these data in separate SharePoint list besides keeping them in the XML. I know that you can submit to a form library using SharePoint document library data connection, but I'm not sure if you can use several data connections for submitting data to multiple SharePoint lists. Is it only possible to do using code? If yes, can anyone show a sample. I have never coded in InfoPath, though I used C# a lot in .Net.
Thank you!Regards,
R.D.M.

This is an old thread but I tripped over a codeless method to do this with OOB InfoPath 2010 and SP 2010.
Assuming your main InfoPath form is published to a document library with the promoted fields that you want to see.
Publish your form to a new document library to capture the secondary data fields that you want separated out.
Using the Publishing Wizard do the following:
Go to – File then Publish
Select SharePoint Server “ Publish form to a SharePoint Library”
Enter location of your SharePoint or InfoPath Forms Services Site:
accept the default in this field from the first published event
Next screen, keep the default or change it, Form Library, Site Content Type or Admin Approved
Next screen, What do you want to do?
Create a new form library
Add new document library name and description
Next screen, Remove all promoted fields not applicable to the new library and add all of the ones you want to see data for.
Click Next and Publish
Come back into the form: If you don’t have buttons added directly to the form to submit or update, add them.
Create a new Action rule on the button
Label the rule to keep it straight
Condition, occurs when button clicked
Add action, Submit data
Use data connection to the second library created
Create a second new Action rule on the same button
Label the rule to keep it straight
Condition, occurs when button clicked
Add action, Submit data
Use original data connection to the library
Then you can add another action to close the form or do whatever you need.
Republish the form to both libraries to set the template for both.
File – Publish – SharePoint Server
Select Secondary library from drop down follow the rest of the prompts
Follow step 5a again, select Primary library from drop down, Add back in all of the promoted fields needed for the primary library and follow the prompts.
DOCUMENT YOUR FORM WELL FOR MAINTENANCE
Special considerations, your primary library needs a unique ID to reference in your secondary library.
Your secondary library will need a unique ID that is not related to the primary if you are going to store multiple records for a single primary library reference.
Example: One form, multiple updates.

InfoPath form load rule is not checking all the rows in form library

Hi,
Requirement:
We have a form library named "HR Annual Review". In the InfoPath form we have two buttons "Save" and "Submit". User is allowed to Save multiple times and only once using Submit button. The file name of form library "HR
Annual Review" will be stored in the format “<username>+<mm>+<dd>+<yy>.xml”. Say for example, an user named Mike Walt submitted a form then the file name will be as “MikeWalt012314.xml”. If the same user (Mike Walt)
submits the form and tries to open the form for subsequent edit, then we need to show a view which has an error info saying “The Appraisal is already submitted for the current appraisal cycle”.
Solution we tried:
To achieve the above requirement, we tried using InfoPath Form Load and add a rule to check whether the combination of current user name and the year already exists in the filename column of the form library. But the rule we applied is not checking all the
rows in the form library. The rule is always checking the first row of the form library.
What we need:
We need the validation using InfoPath rule or some other way/solution to check whether the combination of current login username and current year file already exists in the form library.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Srivignesh,
Submit button Uses the Main Data connection to submit the data to the list. This is what you are using and naming the file in the format. You can create secondary data submit that will update the exiting item in the list. With this, you don't have to create
any rules to check all the rows which is also not possible in OOB InfoPath.
Once you have the two data connection, hide the toolbar from the form and display these two on the button. For The Submit button, apply the rule to hide the button if created by is not empty. For Save button, apply the rule to hide the button if Created
By is empty. This way, when a new form is created, you will see the Submit button, and when the user have to update the form, they will see Save button. Hope it help.s
