The
following article demonstrates how to integrate an InfoPath form with a
SharePoint form library, using a centralized template stored in a SharePoint
document library and linked to a site Content Type. The form is set up to
submit to a SharePoint form library.
InfoPath
offers options to enable you to create forms for collecting information from
users or displaying information from a data source. In this article I am going
to explain about creating a form as a SharePoint list, steps to get started,
design, setup, and publish an InfoPath form.
Assumed
consideration: - I am assuming that you already
have an InfoPath form ready and in this article, we will see how to publish it
on your SharePoint 2013 site.
Here are the
details:-
1. Open your InfoPath
form
2. Click on ‘File’
3. Select Publish
4. Select the
SharePoint Server option
5. Type the URL of the
SharePoint site (without default.aspx)
6. Click on Next
7. Make sure the
option ‘ Enable this form to be filled out by using a browser’
8. Select Form Library
9. If you already have
a form library then please select ‘Update’ option, otherwise select ‘create a
new form library’
Click
on add, select next and finally click on Publish.
That’s
it- You are done.
Go
back to your SharePoint site and check the form library!
Some Common Issues
& Online Resolutions:-
Error
Message- the SOAP message cannot be parsed
Error
Message- InfoPath cannot connect to the server. The server
may be offline, your computer might not be connected to the network, or
InfoPath Forms Services 2010 might not be enabled on the server. To fix this
problem, start by checking your network connection, and then trying again
