InfoPath Dev

 Hello, I am creating an InfoPath 2010 form.  The form user chooses someone from a people picker field who will be the delegate for a particular process.  The aim once the selection is made, is to auto populate fields such as phone, email, department with data from the AD.

I am using  the getuserprofilebyname data connection - this works well for pre-populating fields for the form's current user, but unsure how to have the fields populate based on the person selected in the people picker field.

Can anyone tell me how to do this?

Thank you.

Hi brice235i,

I'm attaching a sample form that queries all the information based on the selected person. Please check the action rules I've implemented on the query button.

Action 1: Set the AccountName of the GetUserProfileByName using the the AccountId of the people picker group.

Action 2: Query the GetUserProfileByName data connection.

You can test this form by changing the URL of the data connection and setting the server address of the people picker group. Hope this helps.

Thanks Don, but I can't open the form due to domain permission level requirement. 

 Save the form locally by right clicking the link. Right click the locally saved file and select Design to open in design mode.

Thanks Hilary.

Don, thank you very much, this is working well :)

I'm glad to know it worked :)

Great!

How I can do to copy only the email address to a new created field?

Hi,

If you only need to extract the email of the account being queried, you would need to set the new field to the value node and add a filter where Name = "WorkEmail". I have attached an update sample form for you.

 Thank you so much!
