Submit / Approve / Reject Infopath Forms from within Outlook Email

Hi,
I have a requirement where I am building workflows for a client in SP2013. I am using Infopath and Nintex.  The client has a specific requirement that all end-user actions need to be handled from within the outlook email body context i.e. the Infopath
form will be embedded within the email body from where each user within the worklfow will access the form and interact based on their actions.
So my query is,
1) How to control the Views for each user within the Infopath form if its to be embedded within the Outlook email.
2) How to control the actions for the user interaction (submit, approve, reject, etc.) so as to ensure the workflow proceeds with its process cycle as expected.
In the whole scenario, the end-user wont access the inofpath form in the web browser or the infopath client application. It will be accessed from within the Outlook email.

Hi,
When we use SharePoint approval workflow to assign tasks for users, then the tasks will be sent together with the email, users can click Open this task button in Outlook to view the task form.

When you submit an InfoPath form as a email, then users can click Open Form button to open the forms from Outlook which needs to have InfoPath installed.

  • No values when the approver rejects the form ( HCM forms)

    Hi All ,
    When i am filling the form with the data from the BAdi and sending it to the approval for  the final approval  . 
    Problem : The approver rejects the form  . The forms comes into the workspace of the Initiator * where are the values are getting  washed off  .*
    Done : I am  attaching all the fields to special fields .Even i have created a operation for this purpose .
    Do i have to check the processing type . As of now its the initialize .
    Please provide your input  and let me know what all things i have to take care in this case .
    Thanks ,
    Om

    All "reject" does is send a process code. Your workflow then determines how to handle it based on that code. As for your fields getting "washed out", are you sure you are handing them off correctly? For example, if you are going from one form scenario to another, you have to "map" that passing of fields. If within the same form scenario, I would say either (1) your workflow is set up wrong and you are losing integrity of your process object or (2) your not seeing what you think you are seeing. You can check this in CASE Mgmt and see what is happening all along your process. and as Kevin said...I would not go making all of your fields "special".....that is used for something quite different...I rarely, if ever, need or even try to make any fields "special".....it's just extra work that buys you nothing much usually overall. Hope this helps.

  • Can we move InfoPath forms from development site to production site?

    From the question I mean only the form, not the site itself.
    Is there any way to move a InfoPath form from SharePoint development site to production site?
    Thanks,

    just publish it to production site
    http://office.microsoft.com/en-in/infopath-help/move-a-published-form-template-to-a-new-sharepoint-library-HP010102446.aspx
    Step 1: Publish the form template to the new document library
    Open the working copy of the form template in design mode.
    On the File menu, click Publish.
    In the Publishing Wizard, click To a SharePoint server with or without InfoPath Forms Services, and then click
    Next.
    In the Enter the location of your SharePoint or InfoPath Forms Services site box, type the location of the SharePoint site that contains the new document library that you want to move your form template to, and then click
    Next.
    On the next page of the wizard, click Document Library, and then click
    Next.
    Click Create a new document library, and then click

  • How to call a Oracle Form from within the APEX

    Hi,
    I have a requirment where need to call a oracle form from within the Oracle APEX application?
    I will appriciate if can someone help me out.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    are you working with Forms 6i or 10g?
    If you want to call a forms 10g page. Just use a button with javascript:
    - Target type: URL
    - URL Target: javascript:window.open ('http://<server>:<port>/forms/frmservlet?config=<conf>','Forms window');
    With Forms 6i you can open the directory where your forms file is inside (works just with IE):
    <script type="text/javascript">
    function fnc_window()  {w = open('C:\\FormsFiles', "winLov","scrollbars=yes,resizable=no,width=600,height=400");
    if (w.opener == null)
    w.opener = self;
    </script>Or execute the forms file with vbscript (IE only):
    <script language = "vbscript">
    sub fnc_forms()
    dim progName
    progName = "c:\FormsFiles\myForm.exe"
    set oShell = createobject("wscript.shell") 'create a shell
    '***use the line below to call your app, defined above with the "progName" variable:
    oShell.run(progName)
    end sub
    </script>

  • I can't open a jpg file directly from an Outlook email attachment into Photoshop CC.

    When I try to open a jpg file directly from an Outlook email attachment into Photoshop CC I get this error message " Photyoshop CC.exe - Entry Point not found" with this string:

    I don't think I have ever been able to open an image directly from Outlook into Photoshop.  What you can do, is drag from outlook to desktop, and then from desktop into Photoshop.  Or, if seeing the windows at the same time is a problem, drag onto desktop, then minimise everything, and drag onto the Photoshop icon (if you have a Photoshop shortcut on your desktop).

  • HT5858 I have had difficulty launching sites from within my email messages.  So, in trying to revert to the default settings on my iPad I went into "Settings" and reset everything.  Now, I have a black screen with a white apple and a white line!  What do

    For the last severl weeks I have had difficulty launching sites from within my email messages.  Thinking that I may have gone into "Settings" and set something wrong, I decided to reset to the default settings.  So, in "Settings" I chose reset everything.  Now, when I turn my iPad on all I get is a black screen with the picture of a white apple and a white line below it.  Nothing else works.  What can I do?  Do I need to send this back to Apple to be restored?

    You will hopefully be able to restore it yourself. It sounds like you erased all constant and settings rather than resetting all settings. But I'm basing my theory on the fact that you are seeing the Apple logo with the white progress bar (the white line) on the screen. That's what you would see if the software was being reinstalled and then it stopped on you. If that is what happened, you need to restore again and most likely need to use recovery mode.
    You can read about recovery mode here.
    Recovery mode - Apple
    However ...... If you are seeing the white line when you turn the iPad, let it go for twenty minutes or so, before you try restoring again. There is possibility that the software is still be installed and it can take a while before you see that white line move at all indicating that progress is being made.
    Frankly, I don't think that the software is still being installed, but since you didn't say specifically how long the iPad has been like this, it could just be that the software hasn't finished installing yet. If you know better - meaning that it's been like this for hours or longer, then you do need to restore the device.

  • I'm operating OS X 10.8.5, Mail 6.6, and I can't seem to extract jpgs or pdfs from within an email thread.  Any suggestions as to how I can retrieve these files?

    I"m operating OS X 10.8.5,  Mail 6.6 and have discovered I can not extract jpgs from within an email thread.  If I catch it upon arrival, everything's fine, but if I reply and continue the thread, the file is no longer extractable.  Any advice?
    Thank you,
    April Snow

    Thanks Eric,
    I would try that if I could see the jpeg file.  The problem is that once the original email has been responded to, and the thread continued, the jpg files disappear from the body of the original email.  Hmmm.  They must be there somewhere, but I can not locate them.

  • Why cant I send emails, or open folders, from my Outlook email when using ipad. My Outlook is functioning normally when accessed from laptop.

    Why am I unable to send emails or open folders from my Outlook email when using my iPad?  My Outlook is functioning normally when accessed from my laptop.  This problem has been going on for three days now - everything was functioning normally before. I have looked at the standard troubleshooting suggestions provided by Apple, but they do not appear to cover this eventuality.  I should be most grateful for any help.

  • Prevent Text Boxes to shrink as big as the text in it - move existing InfoPath form from SharePoint 2007 to SP2013

    Hello Together,
    we have some simple InfoPath forms in place. With SharePint 2007 they are working well. Now we will move to SharePoint 2013.
    It was easy to re-publish them on a SharePoint 2013 Site and to work with, but i have an optical / technical error and i don't find the solution.
    We use Text Boxes to collect the data from the user. After the user has filled the form we will submit them via mail.
    I will you show you the problem.
    on SharePoint 2007 --> it looks okay
    on SharePoint 2013 --> not okay - the Text Box is shrinked to the text Size and the design is defect
    How can i prevent this?
    Thanks in advance
    Sebastian
    I can provide Screenshots, bit at the moment my account is not verfied...

    Can you please share screen shot.

  • 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.

  • When clicked on an icon in the infopath form, it will open another infopath form from another file. How do?

    When clicked on an icon in the infopath 2013 form, it will open another infopath 2013 form from another
    file. How do?

    Hello Eugene Astafiev!
    I need the following scenario: 
    I have a Sharepoint library with items created by Infopath (form A). 
    I developed another form (form B) that will query items created by form A. 
    The form B will be in a static "webpart" page navigation (Sharepoint). One of these fields returned by the query library that manages the items created is the URL responsible to load the item data . I would like to parameterize the URL into form B.
    So that when the user clicks on it, the form A with their respective data in a modal is returned (which may be a native modal Sharepoint)
