Sharepoint Workflow->Infopath Add a data connection to check Workflow Status

bgr66 — Tue, 01 Jan 2013 05:57:37 GMT

Hi,

I am just now starting to work with Sharepoint and Infopath.

I have used the following information to establish the workflow in sharepoing (that is working perfectly) and I now what to establish different view scenarios within the Infopath form.

source: Design a form to respond to a workflow status

I have as to Step 1 Added an Approval workflow to my library. I have called the workflow "Status".

When I now go back to infopath and follow Step 2, I go through the whole process, Create a new connection->Receive data->SharePoint Library->type in the url->Select my document library->click on Next; I then get the list of fields which are in the library, but the "Status" field as indicated in the Source is not there. Nothing! When I am back in Sharepoint and I export the Document library to Excel, the column or field "Status" is shown.

Now to my question and I hope someone can help me out: What do I have to do,so that I am able to select the field Status within Infopath when I build up a second connection?

I have search here and also on google and I can find the example how to do it but it seems no one had this issue as I.

If any one can help, that would be very appreciated. Thank you!

Happy New year!

Best regards,

Robert
