Help creating simple application

[jt210]

Hi Everyone,

Thanks for taking the time to look at my problem - any constructive feedback is greatly appreciated.

Basically I have to, using SharePoint 2010, create an application that performs the following tasks -

1. Allows user to input some data into a form and submit. Two of these input values are Assigned To and also Status (which starts as pending).

2. Upon submit, this form is saved to a table (preferably on a different page). The person who the form was assigned to is sent an email asking them to review the form.

3. On this table, the user must be able to select the forms header, view its details and have the ability to update its Status field. The person who was emailed in step 3 must change this status and leave a comment.

4. After the user in step 3 submits, an email is sent to the person who first submitted the form telling them what changes have been made.

5. If a forms status has been set to Canceled or Completed the form must be moved to another table, where resolved forms are kept.

Please note I do not have access to SharePoint Designer or Server. I DO have InfoPath 2007 (no access to 2010). Once again any help would be incredible so thanks in advance.

InfoPath can do most of what you are asking.

There is no reason why the forms can't live in a single Form Library in SharePoint. Then use Views to show and hide the forms. Think of the Form Library like a table, but with more functionality, and Views are like a query.

This coming Monday, I should have more time to give you better examples on how to get this ball rolling.

Might try searching Google for: InfoPath Data Connections

Data Connections are how you are going to save the forms back to SharePoint, and to send emails.

Hi,

Thanks for your initial reply and sorry for my delayed reply.

Yes if possible I would appreciate your help on this. I have been off work sick for the last few days so have not yet had a chance to make any progress.

Yes please - thank you as well for your intial reply and apologies for my delay, I have been unwell the last week and not had a chance to continue development of the application.

I have been trying to use sharepoint lists and three state workflows to some success but not all the above functionality is achieved. Any more advice would be great.

Thanks

I suggest you start with a basic InfoPath tutorial, before diving into this.

You need to focus on creating a form, working with data connections, and publishing the form to SharePoint.
