InfoPath 2013 Cookbook

More about the book

InfoPath is easy... really! Almost every InfoPath form solution consists of five core components: form template, views, controls, rules, and data sources/connections. However, beginners often struggle to combine these elements effectively. This book teaches you to do just that, step-by-step, from the ground up. Specifically designed for beginners, it starts slowly and picks up pace after the basics are covered in the first six chapters. In chapters 7, 8, and 9, you’ll learn techniques applicable to various InfoPath solutions, along with practical guidance for creating functional forms for your business. With 121 recipes, each includes a short description of the goal, a step-by-step outline, and a discussion section that clarifies the logic behind your actions. Some recipes offer exercises to deepen your understanding, with answers found in the Appendix, which also contains a table of InfoPath functions used throughout. While this book is not about SharePoint, many techniques can be applied to SharePoint forms. Importantly, all solutions are codeless, making it accessible even if you’re not a programmer. This book serves beginners by teaching the basics and providing over 70 guided solutions for popular form controls. If you prefer to devise solutions independently or already know how to use InfoPath, this book may not be for you.
