How to Setup Your Infopath Form to Publish to Sharepoint Form Directory

1. Under Tools click on Submit Options.

• Check Allow users to submit form.
• Choose SharePoint Document Library.
• Click on Add.
• Input the destination (SharePoint library) that you received from TLT for storing your data.

• If you are pasting in a SharePoint address you need to delete the Forms/AllItems.aspx at the end of the address.

• Under File Name click on the FX button>Insert Function>choose CONCAT under Text>Fill in CONCAT fields with the desired data fields.

NOTE: It is good to use the @now configuration in one of the fields which would be displayed as now()) in one of the concat fields.

• Enter a name for data connection – can leave default or create our own name.
• Click on Finish.
• Click on Advanced.

• Use custom message:
• Type in the “on success” message.
• Type in the “on failure” message.
• After submit – close form.
• Click on OK.

2. Under Tools click on Form Options.

• Go through all options to be sure they are setup as you wish.

• For instance generally we do not want people to have the ability to SAVE or SAVE AS.
• Click on OK after you have made your choices.

3. Add a submit button somewhere on the form – usually on the bottom.

• Click on Design Tasks>Controls
• Drag the BUTTON control over to desired location
