Submitting InfoPath form within folders

Hello Friends,
I have an InfoPath form library which I'm using it submit data. I have created two folders, Folder 1 and Folder 2. When I navigate to Folder 1 and click on "New Form Document" and submit the form, I want the it to be saved in Folder 1 instead of
the library
Is there a way to do it?
Do let me know if you need any further explanation

Is there any specific reason to use folders within forms library and submit requests in folders only. Folders are just virtual placeholders under library and you cannot differentiate default content type for folders unless you opt for complex coding.
I can only assume that you have single form for same type data collection and based on some category you're differentiating information.
Instead of creating folders to separate the requests based on some category I would suggest to use views based on metadata filters and you can give users a good navigation UI OR Create different form library to resolve the conflict. This is save you
from lot of custom code.

Creating a link to specific view in a submitted InfoPath form via C#

Hello,
I have an InfoPath form that is submitted by a user, then the c# executes logic on a button click which is to send approver a link to a approver view within the submitted form(my company is
not allowing use of Work flows).
I have a problem creating this link namely because SharePoint changes the patter of a string that is used in creating a form name(Username and now() function characters change
in URL).
Is there an easy way to reference an url to a view in Infopath form via C#
Thank you.

Does anyone have any clue??

Hi,
We had the same problem with InfoPath.
After analysis of servers,it turns out that
the anonymous user authentication has been enabled on
the web application server
via IIS and not via SharePoint
(unsupported configuration), causing
side-effects on some queries which
calls to forms.
We disabled anonymous access.This desactivation
causes the functioning of forms again.

Issues while submitting infopath form

hi, i am using sharepoint online version(office 365). i have created infopath form.published it to the shatrpoint list. while submitting the new form the previous data got deleted.help to solve this. thanks in adavance

Hi,
As I understand, when submitting the new form the previous data got deleted.
Can you give me the screenshots when you view and edit the item with InfoPath form in the list?
You could follow the troubleshooting steps below:
1. Check if there is custom code in the SharePoint list page.
2. You could change to the default SharePoint form and delete the InfoPath form.
Then republish the InfoPath form. Check if it can work.
3. You could edit data in another browser to check if the same situation will occur.
4. You could create another InfoPath form for the SharePoint list to check if it can work.

Submitting InfoPath form twice

Here's my problem:
I have an InfoPath form created. A user fills out the form, then selects the "Approver". They then hit submit and the form is sent via e-mail to the "Approver". Once the "Approver" reviews the form, they then hit submit - I want
it to then go to ANOTHER user (well - its a DL, but same thing). The way it is currently set up is once the "Approver" hits submit, it sends it back to him/herself.
Does anyone know some simple instructions / steps to get this accomplished?

You'll need to create some sort of form status and when the approver submits, switch that form status to the next stage.
This book walks through the entire process:

Submitting InfoPath form via Outlook Address book.

Hi there,
Is it possible to have an info path form used so that there is a submit button and the user is able to choose the email address of their choice to have the form sent? Right now I only see the option of configuring a data connection with a pre filled in email
address.
Example. I create a form. A user opens it and needs to submit it to one person in our organization, possibly from the Outlook address book.
I see a people picker but that does not allow you to submit.
Thank you.

Hi SarahShay,
You can use a people picker to store the people that you want to email, then create a submit button configured to send the form by e-mial to the people of the people picker.
More information, please refer to the link:

I hope this helps.

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.
Rgds,

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.

Infopath form Alert message

I wonder if it is possible to have initial InfoPath form open that has a warning and describes what the form is used for.
Than have either an OK or Continue button which would open the Request Form.
I already created a Request Form which is submitting the requests into the SharePoint List.
simam

Hi Simam,
Browser enabled InfoPath form does not support alerts (message box).
One work around is to create a new view within the Request form and make this new view as default view.
Inside the view you could add two buttons, one for continue and another one for close.
if the use clicks Continue, you can create a rule to show (Switch view) Request form and Close button with Close Rule.
One important thing is you should disable switch view while publishing your form.

How to create Infopath form that auto populate data from one list to be fill by another user?

hi. I would like to ask, how to create form that fill by User A, for example, and then the User A assigned task to User B to complete the form. Next, the form will be approved by approver. May I know how to do
that? and if possible, I do not want to use any programming code.
Azuaniza Ariffin

Hi,
If your SharePoint environment supports InfoPath Forms, then you can customize the form and add rules to make the list items as read only when user A submits the form.
you can then write a form load event to check the logged in user using username() function. This logic can be implemented in variety of ways, like setting a flag when User A submits the form, or storing user A username in a form variable etc., else comparing
User A and User B values within form Load event.
Another way of doing this is using Views or grouping all of the User A fields within a section etc.,
The above would take care of Form logic, and for the workflow, you can use SharePoint designer to create a custom workflow, where it will run on onItemCreate and onItemChange events.
The logic for workflow would be if the form Submitted for the first time, the workflow will start and send an email to User B, and when User B submits the Data then onItemChange change event will start the workflow to send an email to approver to approve
the data.
here are some links for your reference -

How to loop and read repeating table data of infoPath form in Visual studio workflow.

Hi,
I am trying to read info Path form repeating table data in Visual studio workflow.
could anyone elaborate me in brief how to loop through repeating table and read all rows value one by one in workflow.
any help would be more then welcome.
Thanks...

Hi Rohan,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to create a Visual Studio workflow to get data from info path repeating table.
I suggest you can submit Repeating Table to a SharePoint List and then you can create a .NET workflow to read data from the SharePoint List.
Here are some detailed articles for your reference:

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.

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:

InfoPath form opens in the browser instead of InfoPath Filler when a link is clicked from the Approval Task email

I have an admin approved InfoPath 2010 form that is web enabled. It is published to a SharePoint 2010 Forms library and an Approval Workflow is attached to it.
The form needs to open up in the InfoPath Filler with the Workflow Task bar at the top so users can approve the task from within the form and not go to Tasks list to do so.
Here's a problem I am experiencing: sometimes the form opens in InfoPath Filler and sometiems it opens in the browser when the link to approve the form is clicked form the email that is sent by the workflow.
Windows 7, IE 9, MS Office 2010:
The form opens up in InfoPath filler like it supposed to. The Workflow task bar is there for users to approve the form.
Surface Pro with Windows 8.1, IE 11 and MS Office 2013
The form opens up in the browser and there is no Workflow task bar at the top.
Things that I've already looked at and tried which didn't solve the issue:
- The forms library is exclusivly set to open documents/forms in the Client Application
- Set the browser compatibility mode in IE 11, that doesn't work too well, because you have to do it every time you open the browser.
- Setting browser compatility in IE 11 reintroduced another issue, of multiple login promts, which was fixed by entering the SharePoint site in question into the Trusted sites by a group policy. Adding the site to trusted sites made the forms open up in the
browser.
- Researched compatibility issues with InfoPath and Windows 8.1, cannot find anything.
- Researched compatibility issues with InfoPath 2010, Windows 8.1 and SharePoint 2010, also didn't find anything.
Can someone offer a suggestion on how to fix this problem, preferably with no code, because we are not allowed to put custom code on the server?
I need to force InfoPath form to open in InfoPath Filler when the link to the form is clicked from the Workflow email. Also the login prompts should not pop up. Need it to work on all the platforms: Windows 7, and Surface Pro Windows 8.1.
Thank you.
