InfoPath Form Auto generate Name

Here is the requirement:

Anonymous Users need to enter some info into InfoPath on line form.

They should not see the Save as and the file name prompted after they hit the Save.

Should I find a way to auto generate name for InfoPath / write some code for this?

I also need to create a workflow when a new form is created [send an email].

Can anyone help me on this?

Solution

  • Auto generate Name: I use a datetime and remove the fomatting. It works to a second it depends on on you application. It works for most cases for us.

    Here us a link to find an auto number: http://www.bizsupportonline.net/browserforms/autonumber-infopath-form-submitted-sharepoint-library.htm

    As for the work flow, you could just have an "alert me" on the document libray. Simple Is always best.
