I have a Infopath form that add items to a database via a web service. (This part works fine).
I was wondering if it is possible to upload this form to sharepoint site (I know you can do this part), but also to be able to submit to the sharepoint library?
If so how would I go about submitting to a sharepoint library? Would I have to do it via my web service?
Thanks
James
In SharePoint you have a so called forms library. This library can have a form template, i.e. InfoPath template. This template could very well be your form which submits to this form library as well to some external database via a webservice.

I have a SharePoint 2010 list on an external site for contractors to submit their applications. Currently, it uses an Infopath form and sends applications through emails with a XML version of Infopath form as attachment. My coworker then copies and pastes the application fields to a separate SP list on our internal site (SP 2016), where we track progresses. This is a tedious/intensive process. So, we would like to automate the process where we want push new applications (SP list items) to the SP list on the internal site. How do I do that or do you have any alternative recommendations?
Here could be some useful information:
Custom code is not allowed as IT has locked it down
Form was created with Infopath
Workflows are not allowed on the external site
Both sites are in different site collections
REST/SOAP services are locked down
No access to SharePoint Designer
After we make changes to the internal SP list, we do not need to reflect the changes on our external site
XML version of the Infopath form is emailed to us (can we make use of the XML file?)
We are using Windows 7; external site is using SP 2010 and internal site is using SP 2016
Thank you everyone!
I believe in your existing infopath form which is hosted in external SharePoint 2010 has data connection - now you can change the data connection file URL which will point to your new SharePoint 2016 site - then your existing external form will continue to work without changing anything. We have implemented using the same approach it worked.
If the above does not work for you, you may convert that infopath form into Nintex live for external access as you have mentioned above - you have lot of limitation for other approaches.
I am new in SharePoint development. Right now I am working on a project for the Integrated Management System. We need to provide an easy navigation view for users where they can search and view the document in one place.
Is there any built-in web parts specifically for IMS available in SharePoint?
Or any web part available for document master-detail view, like a list of the document on the left side and selected document displays on the right side.
Or do I need to completely depend on the new SharePoint page development?
If you are using SharePoint 2016 on-premises and Office Online Server,
the users can find documents using SharePoint Search, and view into the documents using the hoverpanel.
Please see this blog post (the blog-post has a focus on SharePoint Online, but SharePoint 2016 and Office Online Server provide this feature on-premises as well)
I'm currently working on a registration form for a conference. I made a form for the SharePoint list using the PowerApps link in SharePoint (web). I published the form, and now I can't find it on the PowerApps site when I go to open applications for editing. I can edit the form using the edit link in my SharePoint list, but I'm unable to find it anywhere on the PowerApps website... Any ideas?
Did you use the "Customize forms" option or "Create an App"?
If you used the former, then your app will not be listed if you try accessing it through the Powerapps site or Mobile App.
There is a difference between these two. Customize form is specific to the list while create an app creates a new app for you on powerapps using the Sharepoint list as the datasource
I want to create a web application that uses a custom database with a web api where javascript calls the api from html pages to perform basic crud operations.
The end game though is to surface this through SharePoint 2013 as a provider hosted application.
Can anyone advise on how I might go about this? I am particularly wondering how making ajax api calls to the application via the html pages surfaced from within sharepoint 2013 will work and authenticate.
Is the application using SharePoint data or are you just using your custom database? If you are just using your custom database, you can use the page viewer web part to display the application: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint-foundation-help/display-a-web-page-on-a-sharepoint-page-by-adding-the-page-viewer-web-part-HA101857182.aspx
If you are consuming SharePoint data, that is a different beast and your best bet is reading the docs here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/fp142381(v=office.15).aspx
I have an InfoPath form that has custom code behind it that sends data to a SQL server DB. Is there a way I can publish the form to SharePoint 2007 without needing admin approval? If not, is there any alternative that will allow me to publish the form with custom code? Last question, how do I acquire a certificate that allows the form to be used by multiple users?
Thanks in advance.
Any form with code needs to go through admin approval to be deployed in SharePoint. Because you want to submit to a DB, I don't believe you can use InfoPath Form Services anyways (unless you're submitting to a web service), so you may consider installing your form onto users desktops.
Look for a code signing certificate. We've had good experience with Verisign.
