Re: New user reating a server build form in Infopath

So - you could have all the server info in one list (even decommission info) and then show / hide sections in the form based on their first selection. All the controls for New Server could go in a section that is formatted to hide unless New Server is selected. All the controls for Decommissioned Server go in their own section and are hidden unless they choose decommission, etc. Then you can just set up list views to show data accordingly - the Decommissioned view only has the columns that apply to Decommissioned servers, etc. Make sense?

New user reating a server build form in Infopath

Hi Folks

I am a new user to InfoPath so please be kind :-) Hopefully this is a simple question.

I am currently introducing some best practise at my work place, there so many of us engineers building servers and I am looking to introduce a Sharepoint list using Microsoft InfoPath as the form filler mechanism.

I have created my main form which works great but this form I only want to be used when building new servers, for when we decommission a server we also want to keep a record of that of what server was decommissioned, what day, by who etc.

What I want to happen is depending on whether the user selects new server or decommission server, if the user clicks 'decommission' then I want it to go to another form?

I know there are many of different ways (non infopath) that this could be done, but because of the compatibility with Sharepoint lists, I think the only option is really using InfoPath to build the form, building the form through Sharepoint won't provide as much functionality.

I attach a screenshot of what I mean.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks
