Hey all,
Until this point I've managed to avoid Infopath like a plague because it's never quite clicked with me. I'm now looking at making recommendations for our users and I'm trying to understand the appropriate logical workflow behind saving them to libraries and making good use of them. The scenario is a user from one dept will create and partially complete a form from template and save in the library. Someone else will then come by and complete/update it. By default (if it's configured as a web form) you can submit / save / save as. I only want users 'Submitting' forms back to the library, not on their desktop or anything so I went into 'Open and Save' options and disabled save and save as. Now I only get Submit, Close and Print which is good. I'm then a little puzzled as to why when filling the form out and hitting Submit followed by Close, it prompts me to save it (?). The right choice here is to hit 'no' because it's already submitted it to the library, but the intuitive choice for a user is to hit 'yes'. Ideally I'd like it not to display that prompt at all, because I configured it to display a dialogue on successful submission - "Your form has been successfully saved". Anyone know if there's a way to disable this specific save prompt? Another quirk I find here is that by giving users a chance to save it separately here, it allows them to name the file themselves, bypassing the default / correct naming standard configured for form submission. This would introduce the possibility of duplicate forms being recorded if they first hit Submit, then were prompted to save again (everybody loves 'Jan 2 temp.docx', right? ;). Ideally I'd have the form close by itself on successful submission - no need to hit Close. So it seems there is a difference between 'saving' and 'submitting' - what do you guys use? Submit, save, a combination? Advantages either way? Cheers, Chris
