Update existing form

We've created a form on FormsCentral, and it's working very well. We'd now like to add a reset button to the form. I know we can do this in Adobe Acrobat to the base form we created before bringing it into FormsCentral, but I don't want to lose the form information we already have for the existing form that FormsCentral is tracking.
Can we update the form we have without losing all the response information? I suppose I could re-import the information into FormsCentral from an excel sheet or other if the existing information isn't carried forward, but I'd like some feedback on this before I start making changes to the form and the information collected.

Hi;
It sounds like you are distributing your FormsCentral form in PDF and want to edit that PDF before continuing distributing adding a "Reset Form" button which you would do in Acrobat - is that correct? Assuming it is, you could do this by doing a "Save a Copy" in Acrobat which will remove the Ubiqutization (enabling rights in Reader), you could then edit the form adding the "Reset Form" button, re-do the Reader Enabling and then send the form out. We don't explicitly support editing the PDF but as long as you don't modify form in a way that breaks the submit you should be OK.
Regarding Importing your PDF back into FormsCentral and having to re-import your data into that new form, you would also lose the ability to edit your form further in FormsCentral and you would lose the URL to fill the form out in a web browser. The Import PDF Form feature is best for existing forms you do not want to re-create using our design tools, but they don't have a URL to fill out the form, and are not editable. You are going to get better results by editing the PDF in Acrobat and then re-ubiquitizing it.
Let me know if I understood correctly, hope this helps.
Thanks,
Johs

C# Example: Update existing form using XML

I am searching for an C# example to manipulate existing forms using XML. The result I want to achieve is to add a button on the Item form (10003).

It must be possible. Look for a discussing about this topic at Re: Update a system form with XML: empty screen when this is a target docum for example.
The main steps are:
1. Get XML system form
2. Replace UID
3. Update the system form using XML
4. Load 'new' form.
The problem is that I don't have a good example how to 'Get' and 'Load' the XML using C# in Visual Studio 2005. It is a little bit frustrating, because I can't get the whole picture...
Do you still think it is better to load a new form instead of changing the original?

Hi,
First upload the file into an internal table. If you are using a file that is on application server. Use open dataset and close dataset.
Then :
Loop at it.
*insert or modify as per your requirement.
Endloop.

Urgent Issue: Error Mapping Existing Forms to manually updated XML

Hi All,
We are working on pretty complex InfoPath form which contains 150+ fields. Based on new requirements, we added few sections containing
repeating tables with default data of multiple rows (using default values feature). To make sure that existing forms get these repeating table values correctly we wrote a PowerShell script to update the existing forms (xml files) directly.
This is done so that when an existing form is opened data should get properly mapped. But unfortunately only few repeating tables are showing the correct data and other repeating tables are showing only first record multiple times. This is working for new
forms exactly the way we expect.
We tried to download the xml file and updating the changed xml section from new form xml but it still does not work and shows the same issue. But when we open the existing
form, save it, download it and then change the xml with xml from new form, it works. Somehow when we open existing forms, the mapping is not correct.
Please guide me on this issue. Appreciate your help.
Please let me know if I need to provide more details.
Thanks,
Rahul Babar
ASP.NET, C# 4.0, Sharepoint 2007/2010, Infopath 2007/2010 Developer http://sharepoint247.wordpress.com/

Dear Rahul,
The problem is very well clear, but in order to suggest in your solution I recommend to post the code you used in PowerShell to update xml, any XSLT customization, custom code related to the repeating table you have implemented etc.
If you find this information as helpful please mark this as ANSWER or HELPFUL. Thanks

Is that possible there was the field ZDATE in your form interface/ context and now it is not? I guess some source has changed so the field in the form (binding to the not existing field) cannot be processed. Otto

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.
Dhaval Raval

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.

How to apply modified UI Defaults to existing forms and reports?

Hi all--
I've been struggling with UI defaults and after searching through posts in this forum, it doesn't look like I'm alone.
Is there a way to apply changes made to UI defaults to existing forms and reports? New forms and reports pick up the changes, but can they by applied retoactively?
Thanks in advance,
Dan Krautheim

Thanks for the update,
We have a develpment 10g AS environment setup made,
1) But we are really confused how to present the forms and reports.
We have around 250 forms and reports running on client/server architecture. All these forms/reports have been copied to a fileshare and access control is restricted by folder security.
2) How to deploy forms - entries within formsweb.cfg with Named Configuration sections.
3) How to deploy reports, as to were to copy the .rep files.

Can I update multiple forms with the same dropdown at the same time

I have 20+ forms that have a common dropdown. Each form has between 1 and 15 instances of this dropdown. The values in the dropdown are updated on a frequent basis.
Currently I have an identical Document JavaScript named 'UpdateDropdowns' in each form.
function update_dropdowns()
    var aList = [" ", "A", "B", "C"];
    //Add any other dropdown choices in the var aList in the format shown
    getField("TradeNameDropdown1").setItems(aList);
    getField("TradeNameDropdown2").setItems(aList);
    // Add any other dropdowns added to the form in the format shown
    // Open Log Console (Ctrl-J), enter update_dropdowns() (Ctrl-Enter)
There are over 30 choices in my present iteration of var aList, but for brevity I've only listed the 3 examples to illustrate my JavaScript.
Currently when I have to update the dropdown, I follow these steps
Open form
Open UpdateDropdowns Document JavaScript
Add the additional value(s)
Highlight and copy the updated var aList
Close the Document JavaScript
Update the form in the Log Console
Repeat process for all forms (pasting in the new var aList to ensure conformity)
Is there a way to update all of my forms at once without having to go through this form by form process?

That sounds fantastic try67. I have the most recent version of Acrobat Pro.
I'm unfamiliar with the process. Will 'Help' be able to walk me through it?
I'm not in the office anymore, so not in front of the program.

"Quicktime Buffer Overrun Detected" When Updating Existing Software

So the subject line basically says it all. Quicktime runs fine until I pull down the "help" menu and select "Update Existing Software" which immediately gives me a C++ error "Quicktime Buffer Overrun Detected." I've tried repairing Quicktime and it does the same thing still. I'm running v.1.3.7 and Windows XP.
An interesting side note: When Quicktime is running my desktop flashes as though windows is refreshing it. Any idea what that's about?

Bumped. A little help would be appreciated...

How to only update existing records when loading master data ?

Hello experts, I need your lights one more time.
Here is my need :
I have created an infoobject (IO) which is a very simple version of 0material, let's call it Znewmat --> Znewmat has material type and trademark as attributes, those two fields are available in 2 different datasources :
- 0MATERIAL_ATTR for material type (field MTART)
- 0MAT_SALES_ATTR for trademark (field MVGR2)
When loading my new IO from 0MATERIAL_ATTR I use a filter (at DTP level) to get only a few material types (I get something like 1000 records),
here is my issue : when I load from 0MAT_SALES_ATTR the field "material type" is not available to keep the same filter as for 0MATERIAL_ATTR and existing records are updated with the trademark, but I also get 5000 records I don't need, and my master data is "polluated" with useless lines.
*and my question : is there a way while performing the second loading to ONLY UPDATE EXISTING RECORDS AND NOT ADD ANY
NEW RECORDS ? (i didn't find anything in main options of my DTP)*
(I'd like to avoid the solution to update the 0MAT_SALES_ATTR datasource to add the missing field)
Thanks in advance for any help, points will be distributed.
Guillaume P.
Still no idea ?

in the start routine of transformation from 0MAT_SALES_ATTR to znewmat do the following:
select materials from /BIC/PZNEWMAT into i_mat
for all entries in source_package where material eq source_package-material.
loop at source_package.
p_ind = sy-tabix.
read table i_mat with key material = source_package-material.
if sy-subrc ne 0.
delete i_mat index p_ind.
endif.
this way you'll only update records that have previously been loaded by 0MATERIAL_ATTR DS
loading sequence:
first load ZNEWMAT from 0MATERIAL_ATTR. then activate ZNEWMAT. then load 0MAT_SALES_ATTR to ZNEWMAT.

Report not updating after Form saved in Workspace in Hyperion Planning

Whenever a form is changed in workspace and saved, it updates the form. I then go to the report to print, the report isn't showing the updated information. I have to go to Essbase to calcall for the report to be updated. How can I get my reports to update as soon as the form is saved. Thx

A few things I would suggest you do to determine where the problem lies.
1) Create an Essbase pull sheet in Excel that mimics the form and verify you see the data in Essbase -- you should see it just after your form is saved.
2) Compare the dimensions on your report with those on the Form. I would guess your report has an upper level member that is not dynamically calculated -- if this is true then if you really want the report to show the exact data as the form then update the report appropriately.
Good Luck,
-John
