MS Office Forum / General MS InfoPath Questions / February 2008InfoPath 2003 navigation
I have an inforpath form which needs to move to a different section depending on what option they select. Example I have a form with two buttons I want them to click on a button and have it bring them to a section of the form depending on what button they select. Hi Jennifer. You can either use seperate views, which can be changed via rules on open or with buttons. And/Or you can add the sections you need but then use conditional formatting to hide / not hide each section depending on the values they select. Do you need to identify the user who has opened the form and then by their department, group, role have the view/layout set automatically?

Hello; thank you so much for your respnse, I do not need to identify the user I need to have an option of Privacy, Security and CSIRT and depending on what option they select it will bring you to that form or a section of a form. Does that make sense? If you know of any way to do this I would really appreciate your assistance.

The I would have one form with what sounds like four views. The defualt view would be the selection view. It has text and three buttons. Button 1 takes them to the Privacy view Button to switches them to the Security view Button Three switches them to the CSIRT view Set up each of your views how you need it and whatever data is pertinent between the three can be shared between the views. Often it is nice to know who has opened the form from an audit standpoint. Or to save the user time. With an Active Directory web service you could enter their name, department, address etc. Or get their manager's name for workflow routing if needed. Otherwise they have to enter this and they have to enter it correctly. With electronic forms it is ideal to minimize the redundant data. Good Luck.

Thanks I will give it a try and I see what you mean about integrating with AD. This would make it cleaner for sure. Can you point me in the right direction for that as well? I will try what you just stated and see how I make out. > The I would have one form with what sounds like four views. > The defualt view would be the selection view.

I use it in almost all of my forms since there are so many uses for it. Here is a link for it. you can view the video and check out the documentation. http://www.qdabra.com/proddetail.asp?prod=QADWS I can show you a quick demo too if you want.
