InfoPath Dev

Hi Hilary, Sorry for not coming back to you earlier. Yes this is exactly what i need . its the calculated values that made it work. Great work & Thank you so much for you kind help. Have a wonderful day.

It would help me a lot if you could tell me what part of my instructions you don't understand. Do you know how to republish the form templates (xsn files) to the new libraries? Do you know how to update the data connections? In your screenshots, you have a lot of files (xml) in your libraries - once you have published your form templates to ...

 Thanks Hilary. That worked great!

You'd need to create another form in InfoPath - just open InfoPath designer and select New > Blank Form. Add a data connection to your list of materials. You could either use a multiple select bound to the main data source to allow them to select materials, or you can drag the repeating node from your data connection onto your form and ...

I have previously worked with InfoPath on simple forms. sharepoint 2010 and sharepoint 2016 are running on separate machines. infopath 2010 installed on sharepoint 2010. infopath 2013 installed on sharepoint 2016. I have prepared and published simple infopath forms before. I'm sharing my InfoPath forms and screenshots of sharepoint with ...

 Thanks Hilary, I will give this a try

The List does not need to get updated. I would just have the request emailed. I am not tracking you requests what. This List only holds the available routed materials.  I need a form that lists all the materials. I have a Yes/No field for them to indicate which materials they want. When I create an InfoPath form from the list, it's just ...

Hmmmm. So - does the request from need to update the list at all? I mean - I would think even that could be done via workflow, if there is a one-to-one relationship between requests and periodicals (i.e., user can only select a single periodical per request) - can you maybe provide a bit more info on what you need to build? :)

Well - you can't do this with a button out of the box, but you could go to the Insert tab, and insert a hyperlink (not a hyperlink control, but an actual hyperlink)... you can set the text to "Click here" or whatever, and the link to the URL. Is the email sent from the form? Or from SharePoint workflow?

No - I was thinking maybe create a calculated column in your library and then group by that? I'm not 100% on whether we can group by a calculated column in a SharePoint view, but it seems worth a try....
