Using InfoPath to make a form that filters multiple rows alphabetically into their according SharePoint Lists.

Hello,
I would like to create a form in InfoPath that looks similar to something you would see in excel, by that mean that I am able to enter multiple lines of data. After I submit the form, the data will be sorted/filtered by the first letter of the brand name
into their appropriate list in SharePoint.
JBL (InfoPath Form) -> (Sharepoint List) "J"
Bose (InfoPath Form) -> (SharePoint List) "B"
Lexicon (InfoPath Form) -> (SharePoint List) "L"
Etc...
I was wondering how I would achieve this? Workflow?
Thanks in advance,
Luke

1. kudos on having JBL be both the first record of sample data, and also the initials of all three records :)
2. within SP, you can create a calculated column for the first character in the string (LEFT(col,1))... you may need to promote the field from IP into the list.

    i guess what i am trying to make is a form that will automatically calculate the difference in my investment account each month... and sometimes it goes up and sometimes it goes down... but having the difference calculated for me (without the possibility of me making a mathematical mistake) and then also giving me the percentage would be what i am looking for....
    Numbers will do the calculations, but it doesn't read minds.
    The formulas shown in my previous post assume a table arranged like the example below:
    The results in the bottom three rows (Apr, May and Jun) are correct for the simple formulas given and for the data entered in the Amount column as the empty cells are evaluated as containing zero. In practice, you would want a formula that suppressed the calculation until something was entered in that row of the Amount column. That's easy enough to add, should you think doing so will be useful.
    But it won't make Numbers read your mind.

  • I have a form that has multiple fields but has 5 sections. I have used mail merge to insert information but I can't get Excel to recognize that I need different names and addresses for each section. Please help.

    I have a form that has multiple fields but has 5 sections. I have used mail merge to insert information but I can't get Excel to recognize that I need different names and addresses for each section. Please help.

    Thanks for your response. I do believe I have the information needed for each form on a separate line in Excel. There is a first name, middle name, last name, city, and zip column. And field is entered on a different line for all the information. I'm really stuck.

  • Creating a form that allows multiple Digital Signatures

    I am trying to make a PDF form that allows multiple users to sign different portions of a single form. I have created the form and inserted the Digital signature fields. Which if I use my Acrobat 8 Professional to open I am able to sign each different signature field independantly, but if the form is opened in just Reader 8 it will not allow singing of any digital signature field at all. Seems the security settings revert to a default of not allowing the form to be signed. Anyone able to help, if I have not provided enough information please let me know as I am pretty new to LiveCycle.

    The previous post is correct.  Reader will not allow you to sigh an form unless it has been reader extended to enable the signing functionality.  Acrobat pro or LiveCycle Reader Extensions can be used for this.

    Ed - by sequence of numbers, are you talking about the rectangle with the arrow that sorts by track number?  I've tried to follow your directions to Mona but my playlist still gets burned to CD in alpha order.  driving me crazy.  any other suggestions?   thanks, Chris
    Chris, The sequence number is the first column of numbers, to the left of the Name column.  It always goes 1, 2,3  etc.  It is not the same as the Track Number, which has its own column.
    As a precaution before burning, make sure that Shuffle is tunred off, and that you right-click the playlist name and choose 'Copy to Play Order"  (although technically they should not affect the burn).

  • Why no tab add-ins that enable multiple rows for Firefox 4???

    I geneally have lots of tabs open at any given time. I traditionally use TabKit, TabMix, and others that let me use multiple rows of tabs (among other options). I have not been able to find ANY add-ons that support multiple rows. There is sadness across the land.

    The mentioned "Multirow Bookmarks Toolbar Plus" add-on specifically addresses bookmarks, while the question is regarding the tabs.

  • How on earth can I just make a form that people can sign??

    What I am trying to do is create a contract that people can fill out by simply clicking on text boxes and then typing in their pertaining text then at the bottom there will be a signature box which they should be able to click and then have the option to draw their signature.  No digital id crap, no certificates.  just a simple drawn signature.
    So I started with a word document.  Coverted it to PDF.  I have acrobat 11, I used the form wizard and let adobe find specific fields.  Edited the fields to my likeing to include on signature box and then saved the document.  Took FOREVER to find out I had to go through a special process of saving to allow others to sign.  So I go to File- save as other...-  reader extended pdf...- enable more tools    <-- that allows me to allow them to sign it. 
    Now when I open my document with reader it has the draw your signature greyed out!!! WTH!! I need help to give that option cause this is going to old people and they can't understand the digital signature long process.
    Windows 7-64

    The behavior you're seeing with Reader 11 and an enabled document is normal.
    You say you also tried with a version that's a "regular Save", which I assume is a non-enabled version that has no digital signature fields. In this case you should be able to select any of the options except for "Use a certificate" when using Reader. I just tested Reader 11.0.5 on a Windows machine with a non-enabled form that didn't include any digital signature fields, and it behaved as I expected, allowing me to use a hand-drawn signature. What does this show (in Reader, not Acrobat) when you select: File > Properties > Security
    A screen shot would be nice.
    In case you weren't aware, when a form is e-signed this way, the form fields are flattened when the document is saved, so any forms you receive back from users won't contain form fields, making it difficult to extract the data if you need to.

  • Can I make a form that could be emailed filled out and returned

    I'd like to create a form that I can email my students and that they could fill out and return.
    Is there a site or video that could help me learn this?
    Perhaps create a template?

    Not in Pages, except to create the basic form itself.
    The best method is create a pdf form, using Acrobat Pro to fill in the data fields of the form.
    The students can use the free Acrobat Reader to fill in the fields, which you can have sent electronically back to you or whatever database you want, or as a simple dumb form that accepts their typing.
    To have a quiz style multiple choice document, that even corrects and sums up results use iBooks [free], very similar to Pages, or a dedicated application for this style of work.

  • How can I make one slide that contains multiple slides?

    Hi, I want to make slideshow for presentation. And I want to know how can I make this slide.
    For example in this picture, have 1 main slide and 6 sub slides. I want to make slide like this, and all slides should be in one slide. And I want to zoom in to sub slide when I click and then zoom out when I click one more. And then second slide should be zoom in when I click and zoom out when I click again. And then slide 3 etc.
    I want to know how can I do this.

    There are two ways to do this.
    1. Duplicate the main or first slide numerous times - as many as you'll need for the show, which looks like 6 including the first "overview slide".
    2. You know have two choices - either use the Magic Move transition between the first slide and the next, which has the main box centre screen and enlarged proportionally.
    3. Or enlarge the slides so that the main point is central, but use hyperlinks to move between the slides. This also gives you the liberty of changing the order spontaneously should the situation demand. Using the main first slide, place an invisible box around each element and use a link to move to that slide which is enlarged. Then you have to decide if you will come back each time to slide 1 (the overview) by having the whole slide hyperlinked to slide 1, or the whole slide linked to the next slide. That way you don't have to go looking for the hyperlink area.
    The Magic Move effect will give your presentation a "Prezi" like effect, while the hyperlinked version I've described will just use gentle dissolves between each slide.
    I will sometimes use 3 because I want to encourage audience participation and let them choose where to go next... e.g., the various elements of a 747 wing assembly, or the interior of a large cruise ship, showing state rooms, dining, pool area, ballroom, etc.

  • Can I DL IE8 for use on my Mac - Have sites that I have to sign into

    Can I Down Load IE8 for use on my Mac - I have sites that I have to sign into and neither Firefox nor Safari will allow sign in or even open site.
    Thanks
    GGB

    All other browsers have some means for changing the user agent string. This MAY be enough if the site is only checking for a specific browser for one of a host of reasons. If the site uses some kind of IE specific code, then a simple user agent string change won't help, and you're pretty much stuck.

  • Free alternatives to JTable that allow multiple rows in the header?

    My goal is to make a table with two or more rows in the column header. For instance, imagine I want to have the numbers of the days in the calendar as columns, then I want to have a row over them with the months, spanning over multiple days, then I want to have a row over that with the year, spanning over multiple months. I want these rows to be in the column header so they're always visible as you scroll down.
    Right now, I'm doing this with the first rows of the grid, out of the header, so they get out of view when the user scrolls down. Also, by being in the actual grid, they screw up sorting of the table.
    So I need 2 features. Multiple rows in the column header and the ability to merge multiple cells in the header.
    I've see some code to do this but it seemed too complicated so I want to see if I can find a component that does this out of the box first. I've seen 2 3rd party JTable-based components that do this but they're paid products and paying the full price of a component bundle for these features isn't a very attractive idea.
    So, does anyone know of a good table component that does this?

    Have a look at JXTable from the SwingX project. You should be able to find it via Google.

  • Can I use the wizards to build a form that submits multiple checkboxes as an array?

    I could do this by hand, but for maintenance ease would prefer that the toolkit understand all my forms. Has anyone else figured out how to do this?
    Here's the scenario:
    On page load, a query is used to get a recordset that builds a form representing every item in one table, each row represented by a checkbox. The checkboxes are all named with the same name, like "item[]", and the user needs to be able to check as many or as few of the checkboxes as necessary. Upon form submission, each item referenced in the array (representing an entry from that table) will be associated with the user as a new entry in a join table. It's a many-to-many relationship.
    My problem is that, in the wizard dialogs, there is no option for submitting checkboxes as an array. Checkboxes are only used as a boolean operator. Am I missing something?

    Hi,
    ADDT comes with a server behaviour called "Comma-separated Checkboxes" which lets you include comma-separated checkboxes in your form. Before applying it, there must be a recordset created in the Dreamweaver page, and also an input item added.
    This server behavior is accessible from the Application panel, Server Behaviors > + > Developer Toolbox > Form Controls > Comma-separated Checkboxes.
    The ADDT help file will tell you more about it, please see "Form Controls" -> "Comma Separated Checkboxes".
    >>
    Upon form submission, each item referenced in the array (representing an entry from that table) will be associated with the user as a new entry in a join table. It's a many-to-many relationship.
    >>
    This server behaviour uses a different "value storage & retrieval" method as explained in the help´s "View Comma-separated Checkboxes in browser" chapter, but maybe it will help you though

  • Using Professional to create fillable form that a Reader user can save

    New to Acrobat Professional. Used to create a performance appraisal with fillable areas and made available on our intranet.  All other employees just have the free Reader.  I assumed that they would be able to complete and save on their personal drive since they may not be able to complete at one sitting. Also, form requires supervisor to complete a section so was hoping that they could send to them to complete.  Is this not possible?

    As long as you are at a small company, the Reader Extensions would be acceptable with the license -- particularly if there is no submission involved. Just be aware there are license limitations to this feature and you should check that you are in compliance. It sounds like you are.

  • Is there a way to make a form that allows the user to select multiple answers from a dropdown?

    Hi,
    I work for a school that is building a form right now, and one thing we would like to do is have a list of teachers that can be selected from a drop down menu, effectively allowing the user to choose four or five from a list of twelve. Is there a way to do this? I see checkboxes, but that doesn't seem like a good answer for something that has twelve choices. I rolled through the other examples, and they all were single choice.
    Thanks,
    Lee

    Hi Ariel,
    Thanks for responding. I've added the list box, but I'm not sure how to select two options that aren't right on top of each other. Is it possible to add check boxes? I've also added a scroll bar to make it easier to browse. I've included a screenshot to show what it looks like. 
    Thanks for being patient. I'm new at this!
