Part of the lesson is out of view of the window.

While creating the second workflow step “Change Request Status”, the lookup for Tasks does not show the field “Is Employee from Your Department”

I double checked, that field was created to the task in step 1 with “Collect Data from User” action

Please let me know why its hot showing up that field?

Am struck there. thank you and appreciate in advance for your feedback

Hi Asif,
Thank you for your reply.
Am the site collection admin to the top level site. So the permission might not be a problem otherwise let me know

Note: Your videos are awesome and extremely useful

SharePoint and InfoPath interaction could be complex depending on what security auth you are using and many other factors. I wish I had a clear answer for you on this, but the truth is that without seeing your environment, I have no idea what’s going on behind the scenes. Sorry.

ASif,

the example is awesome !. Very helpful.. I had lot of forms to automate and I will be using your example as reference to understand the steps. Great work !.

However, I have query.. for instance, I have a form which has multiple approvals (3 approvals for instance) and each approver will update his/her comments (it has been created in workflow using “Collect Data” method). In my Infopath Form, I have create the area for those 3 approvers comments and this can not be filled by userd upon form submittal (read only text fields.). Upon all the approvals, I need to update the form with all the approvers name and their comments and datge/time of approvals.. and this form will be printed out by notification user for his action. How this can be done ? Basically what I am trying to do .. all the approvers comments and their name to be populated to form upon each workflow action. How can I do this ? Kinldy help…if not possible, how business manage and justify the approvals as proof their action and attach certian documents which will have to show all the approers as justification for such a aciton…

Hope my question is clear.. otherwise pls let me know.

I had converted a word template into Infopath successfully
Published it to the Form library (newly created via InfoPath publishing process). Publihed template is used when I try to create a New Document in Form lirary
Next I updated the form fields and then try to publish it again, I am facing form open issue – opens in InfoPath Application but not in browser

Publishing Wizard: Selected To a Sharepoint Server….
Next
SharePoint Site URL is correct (where my Form Lirary exist)
Next
Selected: Enable this form to be filled out by using the a browser
Message says: An Administrator must approve this form template before it can be filled out using a browser
Checked: Administrator-Approved from template (advanced)

Not sure how to approve the form template – logged in as farm account and also using site owner account
Please can you help with the steps to republish and approve the template

Hi, new to sharepoint.

I’m having difficulty creating a connection to an external source (ie. sharepoint library). A simple example is i create a list, create a “choice” column that has 3 employees in it. however, when i try and tie it in with the infopath form field it doesn’t show the entries.

What am i doing wrong?

Anu,

You can use the Copy List Item to copy the item then Delete List Item to delete it. Unfortunately, there is no Move Item activity

You don’t have to use the date picker control for dates. You can use a text box and change the data type to Date.

For calculating date differences, there is no easy way in InfoPath 2007 to do this without code. Here is a ‘complex’ way of doing it (although I have not tried it yet):

Good luck!
