Infopath Forms and Search

Good Morning - just a quick question. Is an ifilter required in order for SharePoint 2010 to return .xsn files?  If so, where may someone find one of these ifilters.
Any information would be appreciated.
Kim

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you want to implement the IFilter for the .xsn file in SharePoint 2010.
Per the below technet article, it is not supported IFilter for .xsn file in SharePoint 2010.
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg405170(v=office.14).aspx
And I don’t find a dedicated IFilter for the .xsn files, however, we can customize a custom IFilter for the .xsn file programmatically.
There is an article about building an IFilter for SharePoint, you can refer to them.

  • I'm unable to clear my search history after many attempts with the firefox instructions as I'm unable to check the "Form and Search History" box for some reason

    I've tried several times to clear my search history without any success. I've been able to do so in the past, but this is the first time I've tried in a while and for some reason it will not let me check the box for "Form and Search History." Then sometimes it will let me check that box, but when I click "ok" to apply the clearing of the search history, nothing happens and it still remembers all my sites. At that point I try to clear it again and its back to not letting me check the "Form and Search history" box (I've gone through this cycle a few times). I tried looking through some of suggested articles that Firefox sent me too, but I don't know much about computers and just doing the things they seem talking about isn't working either. Please help, thanks!

    It seems to have worked itself out. Thanks anyway!

  • Incorrect Infopath content type update in form library after modifying Infopath form and publish it

    I have an admin approved InfoPath form. I added new fields to that form and mapped those new fields with site columns. After uploading updated published form through CA, I noticed InfoPath Site content type for that form got updated (with newly added fields)
    under Microsoft_Infopath group. This content type is also added in form library but somehow the new fields are updated incorrectly for this content type existing in form library (it doesn't show new fields, and shows one new field which is incorrectly
    mapped with other column this is happening only in library). 
    Things I tried:
    - Activate/Deactivate that content type feature
    - Deactivated feature, removed form from CA, re uploaded and activated feature
    - Removed those new fields and published and uploaded InfoPath form and then added those new fields and published and uploaded again.
    -Deleted those fields from InfoPath and readded new fields and published and uploaded form but still the problem persists.
    Any help will be appreciated.

    Hi Thanks for the response,
    But Update all content types inheriting from this type is already checked.
    That form library has multiple content types associated with it , different infopath forms get submitted there. What I noticed is that when I change the form and publish it, its corresponding site content type gets updated but the same content type used
    in form library doesn't get updated properly. I went to form library and checked that erroneous content type, there were some columns missing and one column was mapped incorrectly. When I clicked on "Parent" content type, it was showing all the new Infopath
    fields(updated content type). So I figured that Infopath site content type was getting updated correctly but it was not able to propagate those updates (in a correct way) to the form library. I also tried to edit that content type and tried adding existing
    site columns which were missing but surprisingly it was not showing those site columns either, which were mapped from Infopath publishing.
    The cause for this behavior is : changes/updates to the Infopath content type are not getting propagated to the form library and this is happening for only one infopath content type but other Infopath content types are getting updated.
    I had to delete all the forms using that erroneous content type and then had to delete that content type from the library and then re-added that Infopath content type to the library and this time it was having correct content type (updated columns).
    This is not a perfect solution for the production environment, sounds like it is a bug.

  • Form and search history is disabled- can you tell me why this is and give me some simple steps to fixing it?I've tried reading forums and support to no avail :(

    For some reason, when I try and click on form and search history under the clear history tab it's greyed out (all of the other options for clearing history are available)
    I don't seem to be able to find any answers to WHY this is (which I would like to know) and also I've tried to follow instructions (factory reset firefox, restart computer etc) but for some reason it doesn't make any difference and I really don't know what to do. I'm not particularly tech savvy so any help would be really really appreciated

    This happens if there is no form history to clear (you probably already cleared it).
    Is saving form history enabled?
    *Firefox > Preferences > Privacy > Firefox will: "Use custom settings for history": "Remember search and form history"
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Form+autocomplete
    Firefox won't save new form data if you are in Private Browsing mode.

  • InfoPath Forms and Workflows

    Hi
    I have a question regarding InfoPath Form and associated Workflows. This is a timesheet application form where employee fills time sheets and send it to his manager for approval. 
    I have completed the InfoPath Form with 2 views: (1) Employee completes the timesheet per week. (2) The time sheet part is grayed out and there is a comments section for his manager.
    I have deployed this to sharepoint to a form library and started a Simple Approval based workflow at the Form Library Settings. So far so good.
    But in the Approval workflow; can i code logic to identify the staff's manager ? It seems that I have to define a single account from SP Groups to where the workflow will be always routed to. 
    Secondly how do I associate the View 2 to the manager for comments and approval.
    Any pointers on the above will be very useful in my implementation.
    Thanks 
    Best Regards
    Santosh

    Hi Santosh,
    If you would like to send approval email to account’s manager in SharePoint 2010 Designer workflow, there is an action in Relational Actions group named Lookup Manager of a User:

    Alternatively, here is an article which contains about how to get manager in workflow:

  • Deleting Forms and Search History is Dictating my freedom

    Is this a trick? I used to be able to freely delete my forms and search history. Now the checkbox on the delete everything dialog box is disabled, and unchecked! When I ask to delete everything, I mean everything, please. I should be able to make the decision myself, not have it made for me by Google, the government, or some script kiddie. Please give our freedom back, and make the delete forms and search history accessible.
    Furthermore, please, please, delete everything and shred it, if that is what the user wants (Unlike Microsoft with Pending Deletes, and Google with its Autocratic Internet takeover policies. And what is with all the google and chrome junk in the about:config anyway?)
    I used to love Firefox because it seemed like a Freedom Fighter, but now I have deleted it from all Windows systems and all but one Linux system, because it seems like it is selling out. On the sales pitch page, Firefox purports to be working for greater Internet freedom, but the closer you look, it seems two-faced.
    I will watch the status of Firefox on that one system, and if it improves, I might allow it back on the other systems. Otherwise, I might just fork it like IceWeasel or even find something else, eventually.

    No it's not a trick. You should be able to check-mark Form and Search History in Clear Recent History. Any chance that "Remember search and form" history is not selected in the Privacy tab of Options?
    I have also seen reports from some users that their security suite on Windows PC "took over" many of the Clear Recent History items and locked out users from changing the status of any item in Clear Recent History, but I can't see something occurring with Linux versions of Firefox.

  • Search form and search results page

    Hi! I really need some help with my search and search results page. I'm a newbie and am trying to get my site built. My search page will be the most important page and is quite complex. It will have 11 drop down boxes and 8 radio buttons. I have my form set up on the search page. When I try to run it now it returns all results. Because I have so many fields I didn't want to post it all but, here's what my code looks like for my first drop down box:

    As I said, I'm a newbie. Any help or guidance would be very much appreciated. THanks in advance!

    Thanks for that example, but that is the design based on different technology than mine (ADF BC, and I am using ADF, EJB3/JPA). The link I provided above nowhere presents <methodIterator> nor <methodAction> and these are generated automatically in the page definition file by JDev when you drag-drop collections onto the page. So obviously that manual (online help) does not reflect the internals of current JDev 10.1.3.2 operation. As the matter of fact complete XML schema format seems to be different (although similar to certain extent) than the schema format created by JDev 10.1.3.2

  • Interactive Adobe Form and Search Helps

    Does anyone know how to implement a Search Help in an Interactive Adobe Form?  I have a requirement to fill a field with a manager and I have 17500 of them to choose from!  Tried a Dropdown list, but it is not really appropriate, unless theres a way of entering a wildcard in the input field and using it to limit the dropdown list.

  • 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".
    Here are some similar posts for your reference:

  • Upload Excel data to Sharepoint list VIA infopath form

    Hi,
    I'll try to explain the process of what I want to do first.
    1. In Excel
    I have an exceldocument (XLS, XLSX or XLSM) with 4 named columns and a named worksheet saved locally on my computer.
    I want to upload this data into preferably a custom list in sharepoint but it needs to run via a infopath template first.
    2. In Infopath
    The Infopath template will prompt the user to specify values in 2 additional fields.
    After giving input to these fields user may browse for the locally stored excel document and upload the document.
    In the same infopath template a dynamic array should be visible containing 6 columns (4 from excel + 2 from headerlevel of template) and the amount of rows based on the number of rows from excelsheet.
    At the end of template a submit button is found for uploading the entire array into sharepoint custom list.
    Is this possible to do at all?
    NOTE! End user should not have to save the excelsheet as XML file nor do a XML mapping.
    Infopath should, perhaps with help of VBA read excelsheet and transfer data to correct destination in sharepoint on it self.
    Looking forward to your reply

    Hi Jonas,
    You can attach your Excel doucment into InfoPath form and send InfoPath form to a custom web service. Then you can parse the Excel data and combine the Excel data and additional fields into SharePoint list in the customized  web service.
    For more information, you can have a look at the thread:

  • Updating a secondary datasource to a Sharepoint list via infopath form rules

    Using SharePoint 2010 and InfoPath 2010 I created a form that prior to submission it gets an integer value from a separate SharePoint list via a secondary datasource.  Just before the rule that submits the form to a document folder via the
    main datasource I increment the integer value and try to write it back to the secondary datasource I got it from.  I know that I have the correct value.  That is, it is reading from the data source the correct integer information and it is incrementing
    it in the form but when it writes the value back to the same column in the same secondary datasource it doesn't give any indication that it didn't work.  But when I look at the list of the secondary data source I see that the integer value is
    not updated.

    Hi Jonas,
    You can attach your Excel doucment into InfoPath form and send InfoPath form to a custom web service. Then you can parse the Excel data and combine the Excel data and additional fields into SharePoint list in the customized  web service.
    For more information, you can have a look at the thread:
