Cascading update in Infopath form using XML data
We often come across with the requirement to do dynamic update. Since SharePoint is new. I worked a lot on finding this solution. Here we go simple steps for this….
Step one:
Create a XML file like in this format …
<?xml
version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Data>
<Country
value="India">
<State
value="Tamil Nadu"/>
<State
value="Andhra Pradesh"/>
<State
value="Kerala"/>
</Country>
<Country
value="Srilanka">
<State
value="Western Province"/>
<State value="Eastern
Province"/>
</Country>
</Data>
Step 2:
Open InfoPath form and create the Country and State dropdown list boxes.
Step 3:
Add the xml data which we created from the InfoPath form.
Step 4:
Give the xml data name and click finish …
Step 5:
Right click list box of country and go to properties
Step 6:
Select the xml data source and Select the Country as value.
Step 7:
Similarly go to state properties and click to add the xml data and filter data to country ….
Step 8:
And now click preview to see the changes…
