    Is it possible to create multiple lists in a sharepoint library from one infopath submission?

    I am a newbie in this area and trying to understand if what I am trying to do is possible using deafult features or coding on Visual Studio or Sharepoint Designer (Preferrably Visual Studio)

    Explanation:
    I am thinking about creating a timesheet submission form using infopath and publishing it on sharepoint. I want to submit the hours for multiple people on the same infopath form using a repeating table and when the form is submitted I would like to see the information of each employee as individul lists.

    For instance, Madara and Sasuke works for me, and I have entered their hours for the past month in the published infopath form. When I click submit I want to see two lists created on sharepoint,

    1. Madara- 10 hrs   (Approve/Reject)

    2. Sasuke- 7 hrs     (Approve/Reject)

    Now, If I click on Madara or Sasuke I can see the detail of them individually, but not together (unlike how I entered data on infopath form)

     

    Lemmi know if what I am trying to do is possible to do. I have the infopath form, but do not know if sharepoint can do what I want to do.

    Yes, here is a good example of how this can be done using the qRules product from Qdabra, http://www.infopathdev.com/blogs/hilary/archive/2012/05/30/qrules-submittosharepointlist-walkthrough-for-v4-2.aspx. you can also do this without qRules, but it will be a LOT more work

    Thank you.

    That is really cool, but being new I was hoping to do it the hard way so that I may understand how it all works.

    Do you think you can kindly direct me to a useful approach that will help me conceptualize this issue.

    Thanks again.

    Thank you Hilary. I actually have learnt a lot from the those walkthroughs this past week. They were really helpful. I was still hoping there would be something almost exactly similar to what I am trying to test out now. Thanks again.
