    Reporting based on InfoPath forms (published to SharePoint) (2 posts)

  • Avatar Image Previous Student said 2 years, 3 months ago:

    Trying to get my arms around how we might use InfoPath forms (published to SharePoint). What are the various methods for producing reports based on data entered and forms saved? Using the requisition form as a model, how can we report on who ordered what supplies using the form?

    I see the promoted fields option. Is this the key to reporting?

    Also, is there a way to guarantee a table (list) relationship? Meaning if a supply item is associated with a vendor and someone tries to delete the vendor from the vendor list, an error message will display and not allow this deletion until the supply items associated with this vendor are deleted? Otherwise we have orphan supply items not associated with a vendor.

    We talked about the fist paragraph in class today and how promoted properties work for reporting on non-repeating data. For repeating data, you'll need to submit your form to a web service that can store that data in a database for reporting. I'll try to demo submitting to a web service and storing in SQL on Friday.

    There isn't currently any way to reinforce referential integrity between data that is looked up between SharePoint lists. I know it's something that a lot of people want, so I'm hoping it will be in the next version.
