    Output Email submit

    Hello all,
    First off, thanks to everyone for all the knowledge shared on this forum. I've learned a lot!

    I'm still struggling with something i cant seem to fix or get an answer on. So i hope someone could help me out on this one as Ive been looking for weeks now on how to solve this.

    Here it is: I've made an infopath form with all kinds of fields etc. Once filled in, it will create and send an email with the form I've created. Everything up to this point works! Now, when i look at the email that was sent, it shows me the entire form.

    I need this email to be in plain text instead of seeing the actual form (We need this because we need to copy its contents in a other application as plain text).

    So i need the emails output to be similar like:

    Field1 : Answer1
    Field2: Answer 2
    etc ....

    I've read something about switching views? Can anyone advise if this is possible? And maybe also how to actually accomplish this?

    All the help is much appreciated! I've added the infopath file to this post!

    Thanks!

    Hi Joe,

    To create a new view in InfoPath 2013, proceed to the page design tab and click on the new view button:

    You could set the whole view to read only at the General Settings of the Page Setup, or change the answer fields to Calculated Value controls.

    At the button rule where the send email action happens, add a rule that switches to the email view before sending so that when the receiver opens the form, the current view will be the email view.

    Hope this helps.
