    Open new forms from existing forms

    Hi,

      We have a requirement, where user should be able to presented multiple addresses when clicked on a link/button on the infopath form. The user must be able to edit any of these addresses if necessary.

      Preference is to present the user a new form consisting addresses when clicked on the "edit customer addresses" link/button.  Kindly, suggest a simple way to do this. Is it possible to open new forms by clicking a link/button from the exiting form ? OR if there is completely different way of accomplishing this task, please share your ideas.

     

     Kindly suggest.

     

    Thank you

    Hi I P Dev and welcome,

    You need to just pass a parameter to the form so that it opens with the address. To pass a parameter to a form, you can create a link and then have the target read the input parameters on open to load the relevant data but that requires code or qRules. Another approach is to use a separate XML for the address and just refer to it in a link (i.e. no parameter required). We do both techniques all the time.

    Let us know if you need more info.

    Thanks!

    What QRules commands, "GetInputParameters"?  This works in a browser, too?

    Yes, GetInputParameters works in the browser - be sure to set your rule on the Qdabra Rules data source finishedLoading node (finishedLoading = true). Since rules run before code, you want to use the finishedLoading node for running qRules commands on form open.
