Missing the Person/Group Picker control

I am using SharePoint 2013 with InfoPath 2010. I have a SharePoint list that is set as a Data Connection in an InfoPath form (it is being used as a Document Information Panel for a Word document but that really shouldn't matter). That SharePoint list
includes three different People Picker custom Site Columns.
BUT when I try to add those People Picker columns to my InfoPath form the "Person/Group Picker" option is nowhere to be found. Instead, I only get the options to add the field as a Section or Section with Controls. It doesn't appear
in the Ribbon either.
If I open InfoPath directly and create a new form using the same SharePoint List, the three People Picker fields appear as Person/Group fields in my form.
Can someone please tell me what is going on and how I can fix this? Thanks. Carol.

Hi Carol,
By my test, the created document information panel has no "Person/Group Picker" control, no matter I create it on document information panel settings of library content type or on infopath new document information panel template.
It is by design that we can not add Person/Group Control on Document Information Panel manually. And as far as I know, there is no workaround to get over it.

SharePoint - Person Group Picker - Problem 'JSON' is undefined

Hi,
I have the following problem:
If I click on " Person Group Picker " control in the form by web I get warning:
This problem exist on IE 11. In Chrome in OK.
What is wrong?

Hi stockDevelopers,
Is your
“Person/Group Picker " control a custom InfoPath form control?
For my test, I customize a list form using InfoPath and add a “Person/Group Picker " control. Then I test it in my IE 11, but all work fine.
Is the form having embed code?
Also two settings you can have a try:
1.Open your “Person/Group Picker " control in IE 11, and then press F12, and click Browser Mode, choose IE 10.
2.If your issue persists, press ALT, and then click Tools in the Menu bar, click Compatibility View Settings, turn OFF compatibility mode for intranet sites.
A thread you can have a look:

InfoPath 2010 - Person/Group Picker Properties - Relative Path?

Hello,
How, if it is possible, do you specify a relative path in the Person/Group Picker Properties?
This is for InfoPath 2010.
Thanks,
John

Hi John,
Do you mean that specify a SharePoint site to query for people and groups?
If so , you can take steps as below:
Add a Person/Group Picker control in your InfoPath form.
Right click the control and select Person/Group Picker Properties.
Click SharePoint Server tag, you can input the SharePoint site URL for specifying a SharePoint site to query for people and groups.

Can you set default values for person/group picker fields? To current user?

Two-part question/issue . . .
Part 1:
In InfoPath 2013 in use with SharePoint 2013, how do you set a Default Value for Person/Group Picker fields? Other field types like Text Boxes have a Default Value section in the Data tab of Properties. There doesn't appear to be any equivalent for
the Person/Group Picker field type in Properties. I'd like to set a default person for a few fields in a form I've created. Is this possible?
Part 2:
The default user I want to set for one of those Person/Group fields is the "current user." I want a user to log into our SharePoint 2013 intranet, load a new form for edit/creation, and have one of the Person/Group fields in that form to
automatically populate this particular user. Is this possible?

Hi Stephen,
You can auto populate your InfoPath farm with current user Name and all other property that you have in your User profile, you have couple of options.
First you can make a secondary connection in your InfoPath form with user profile and can use the UserProfileService.asmx and call the GetUserProfileByName method. Here is the steps you can follow.
http://blogs.technet.com/b/anneste/archive/2011/11/02/how-to-create-an-infopath-form-to-auto-populate-data-in-sharepoint-2010.aspx
Secondly you can use JQuery and SPServices ,
$().SPServices.SPGetCurrentUser function to populate the values with script to achieve the same in this case you no need to use InfoPath form just create simple text type column in SharePoint
list and auto populate it with getting the current user Name from User Profile here is the scripts
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript" src="../../jQuery%20Libraries/jquery-1.4.2.min.js"></script>
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript" src="../../jQuery%20Libraries/jquery.SPServices-0.5.4.min.js"></script>
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
var userCurrentName = $().SPServices.SPGetCurrentUser({
fieldName: "CurrentUser"
$("input[Title='CurrentUser']").val(userCurrentName);
var userPhone = $().SPServices.SPGetCurrentUser({
fieldName: "WorkPhone"
$("input[Title='Phone']").val(userPhone);
</script>

Default Person Group Picker

Having a problem with Person Group Picker. I add a PGP control to the form and then drag it’s DisplayName and AccountID there also to view/reference.
If I manually enter a name, say John Doe, into the control and check it, the DisplayName shows “John Doe” and the AccountID shows “i:0#.f|membership|[email protected]” like I’d expect.
However what I really want to do is default the control to the current users name. I’ve found posts that explain to set the default value for both DisplayName and AccountID to UserName(). That works,
except that the DisplayName remains set to “i:0#.f|membership|[email protected]”. Does not seem to update it even when form is submitted or saved.
I tried leaving the DisplayName default unset. But then DisplayName just remains blank.
Is there a way to trigger and update of this field?
Background: I’m using InfoPath 2013 published to a SharePoint/Office 365 site.
Jim Brown

Hi Jim,
I understand that the error occured when you opened the form in browser.
Error 5566 with InfoPath can be a result of different cases, you can take a look at the thread below for troubleshooting:

Did the web application use claim based authentication?
If yes, please follow the steps in the links below to auto populate User Information in InfoPath with Claims Based Authentication in SharePoint:

Change the person to pick a order in stor

Hi, i have an order orden waiting in a store to ne picked up, the person who i expect to pick is out of the city.
Can i change the person to pick my order?
How can i procede to do that? My order is abou to be cancelled....

Hi SMRM,
As long as you provided a Friends & Family pickup option at the time of checkout, then it should be possible to update the person listed -- this option cannot be added anytime after the order has been placed. I'd be glad to see what can be done to assist you, so please make sure to check your private messages when you can.
To check your PMs, simply sign into the forum and then click on the letter icon in the upper right-hand corner of the page.

Jez lost my i5S which is TouchID and password protected. Tried using Find My Iphone app but device is offline. Can the person who picked it up find a way to unlock it?

thx for replyg Chris. Do u mean even if the "thief" tries to send it in to an Apple store to "restore as new", it cant be done and the device is rendered useless to the "thief"?

I have an iPhone 5s (2months old) and when I dial out I hear no answering ring tone but when the person dialled picks up, I can converse normally. Frustrating not knowing if being connected or not. Using speaker doesn't help.

I have an iPhone 5s (2months old) and have started to encounter problem. If dialling out I sometimes receive no answering tone and am unaware if connecting or not. This doesn't change if I use speaker. However, if the call is answered I can converse normally. It's very frustrating. Any ideas?

Try resetting the phone. Hold both buttons until the apple logo appears and then let both go and wait for phone to restart

How do you get Personal Groups into iphone 5s?

I have a few personal groups on my outlook account that i use quite often. Is there a way i can import the personal groups i have from my outlook account to my iphone 5s? That way when i sent an e-mail, I can just send it to groups instead of typing them individually?
If not, is there a work around or suggestions??
Thanks.

When you ask a question, please include the version of Mac OS X on your computer. iOS is not a Mac operating system.
Assuming you are running OS 10.9.1:
Open Contacts. Click File in the menu bar and select New Group. Enter the name of the group in Contacts on the left.
Go back to All Contacts (on the left) then drag and drop the names you want in that group on to the folder you just named.
Repeat as necessary for other groups.
Note that the names remain, as they should, in All Contacts, even after you have added them to a group.. You can delete a group if you want. The names will still remain in All Contacts.

Help...people picker control does not recognize outlook formated bulk users

Hello,
Currently out of the box people picker control provides a textbox, User validity icon and a find user book. If there are bulk of users from outlook and paste it, the SharePoint control does not recognize user and cant find bulk
users in the find book directory all at once(need to find user details one at a time) , so I was told to hide the user directory icon and link. Will you please suggest me to on how to hide directory icon? is there a way using JavaScript or Jquery to hide?
Otherwise if there is a way to directly transfer bulk of users from outlook into SharePoint people control works great.
multiple users allowed in sharepoint people picker control however it does not support outlook format in SharePoint people picker.. such as
'abc, xyz <a href="mailto:[email protected]>' ; efg, pqr <">[email protected]>' ; efg, pqr <[email protected]>
Can anyone suggest me to hide the finder link & image? also to add bulk of users directly from outlook?
Thanks

Nobody has anwered. I have solution and done myself to hide and manage controls on SharePoint list. Key thing here is to map the jquery library correctly and specific version.
Hope this helps at least others and can overcome difficulties I have undergone
Here is the Javascript:
<script type="text/javascript" src=".../jquery-1.3.2.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){$('a').each(function(){if($(this).attr('title') == "Check Names")$(this).hide();});});
</script>

I just purchased an Iphone and love it except I'm surprised and annoyed that there is no way to create a group within contacts. I coach a youth basketball team and routinely want to fire off a mass email or text to the same group. Am I missing something?

When I click on my contacts icon on my phone there is a Groups choice in the upper left hand corner. Make sure you are in All Contacts and not a specific person.

My iphone4 disconnecting calls after 3 rings and show these calls as "missed calls" while the person who calls me still hear a dial ring. this started to happend after i upgraded to ios 7.0.4 please advise

my iphone4 disconnecting calls after 3 rings and show these calls as "missed calls" while the person who calls me still hear a dial ring. this started to happend after i upgraded to ios 7.0.4 please advise
this is really frustrating since i cant pick up calls with only 3 rings and i always miss them
i tried to restore like 3-4 times, didnt help
even tried to set the iphone as a "new iphone" on itunes and it didnt help

Generally, when going out of the country and using a foreign SIM, carrier files can be changed. Go to Settings>General>About>and look at Carrier? What does it say? You may have to perform a restore. You can try a restore from a backup, that would reinstall the iOS, and would provide the latest AT&T carrier file as well. See if this will fix the problem.
