InfoPath Dev

Hi there

i'm new on sharepoint and it can be a simple question, but I tried to solve it with goggling but couldnt find solution..

When you are working with lists, there is an option to customize form in the ribbon. but the option is not available for Document Library !!   so do I have to use code for customizing form of uploading documents in library or we still can do it with infopath?

thanks

Hello meysam,

The option to customize the form is only available with SharePoint list forms. For form libraries, you must first design your form in InfoPath, and then publish to an existing or new Form library. The reason for this is that a list form is essentially operating on top of the SharePoint list, and is considered flat data. InfoPath library forms are much more complex, and are not limited to the promoted properties (columns) of the library. If you want to make changes to a form that has been published to a library, the form can be downloaded form library settings > advanced settings, and then re-published to the library.

Hope that helps!
