SharePoint InfoPath Forms
SharePoint InfoPath Forms
InfoPath forms can be a powerful tool for collecting organising, processing and submitting data of various types. Data Connections allow an infoPath Form to pull data from multiple data sources, including sharePoint. SharePoint InfoPath Forms can provide a rich interface and additional functionality when manipulating data in SharePoint lists and libraries than when using OOB browser forms.
When using InfoPath to open and complete forms, complex priocessing can be performed without impacting on performance of the SharePoint server as the procing is done by the client. Using SharePoint InfoPath Forms as an Interface to control workflow can provide greater functionality and control over the workflow process. Using an infoPath form to submit data to SharePoint lists can allows data from multiple lists to be updated once processed.
