Share via As a company we have been using InfoPath form libraries, opening the InfoPath form filler to create and edit InfoPath forms. With the end of life of Internet Explorer less than a year away, we need an option on how to open these forms in SPO. We do not need or want the form to open in the web browser, we simply want the browser to be smart enough to launch the form filler desktop application. This is currently not the behavior of Edge. Will Edge support this before IE EOL? If not what is the way forward with the thousands of forms my company has created over the years? PowerApps is not a robust enough solution to support the sophistication of the InfoPath forms we have built out. We simply just want to be able to continue to open the InfoPath form filler from our existing InfoPath form libraries in SharePoint Online. Thank you for any assistance you can provide.

Editor’s Note: As part of the update shared around the Evolution of SharePoint and the next SharePoint Server on-premises release, we are also updating the timelines for removal of InfoPath Forms Services components of SharePoint and SharePoint Online. Specifically, InfoPath Forms Services will be included in the next on-premises release of SharePoint Server 2016, as well as being fully supported in Editor’s Note:As part of the update shared around the Evolution of SharePoint and the next SharePoint Server on-premises release, we are also updating the timelines for removal of InfoPath Forms Services components of SharePoint and SharePoint Online. Specifically, InfoPath Forms Services will be included in the next on-premises release of SharePoint Server 2016, as well as being fully supported in Office 365 until further notice. Customers will be able to confidently migrate to SharePoint Server 2016 knowing that their InfoPath forms will continue to work in their on-premises environments, as well as in Office 365. The InfoPath 2013 application remains the last version to be released and will work with SharePoint Server 2016.______________Customers have been asking us about the future of InfoPath and SharePoint forms, and today we’re ready to share some information on the next generation of Office forms.Industry trends and feedback from our customers and partners make it clear that today’s businesses demand an intelligent, integrated forms experience that spans devices. We are looking to make investments that allow you to easily design, deploy, and use intelligent, integrated forms across Office clients, servers, and services—forms that everyone can use on their PC, tablet, or phone. Our goal is to deliver tools that are flexible and agile, so you can quickly connect to your data and processes in new and exciting ways.So how are we evolving our forms technology? In an effort to streamline our investments and deliver a more integrated Office forms user experience, we’re retiring InfoPath and investing in new forms technology across SharePoint, Access, and Word. This means that InfoPath 2013 is the last release of the desktop client, and InfoPath Forms Services in SharePoint Server 2013 is the last release of InfoPath Forms Services. The InfoPath Forms Services technology within Office 365 will be maintained and it will function until further notice.If you’re an InfoPath customer, we want to reassure you that we’re working on migration guidance in parallel as we’re building our next generation of forms technology. Until we have more detailed technology

Applies ToInfoPath 2010 InfoPath 2013 When you design your form template, you can choose to create a form template that can be opened or filled out in either InfoPath or a Web browser. If the form template can be opened and filled out by using a browser, then it is called a browser-compatible form template. This type of form template can then be browser-enabled when it is published to a server running InfoPath Forms Services. This article describes how to choose a compatibility setting for a form template, either when you first create the form template or after you have already created the form template. If you're not sure of the current compatibility setting for your form template, you can refer to the Compatibility area on the InfoPath status bar, which is located in the bottom right corner of the InfoPath window. In this article Overview of browser compatibility Specify a compatibility setting when you create a form template Change the compatibility settings for an existing form template Overview of browser compatibility All form templates are compatible with InfoPath — that is, users can open and edit the forms in InfoPath, provided that the users have InfoPath installed on their computers. If you have access to a server running InfoPath Forms Services, you can design a single form template that accommodates two kinds of users — those who have InfoPath installed on their computers and those who do not. In the latter case, users fill out forms in a supported Web browser, not in InfoPath. If your users have InfoPath installed, they can open the form in InfoPath and they can experience the full range of form features. Users filling out the form in a browser have access to a more limited set of features, but benefit from being able to use the form even though they do not have InfoPath installed on their computers. If you plan to publish your form template to a server running InfoPath Forms Services, you must keep these limitations in mind. The process for designing a browser-compatible form template includes specifying a compatibility setting,

SharePoint, Azure Functions, and Visual Studio (Part 2) “In old-school SharePoint, if you wanted to run some custom code in a web part, workflow, form, or event handler, you wrote either a sandboxed or a farm solution. Neither of these are supported in SharePoint Online. So what are developers supposed to do when they need to run some code somewhere other than the web browser? How can they run code in the background, elevate permissions, or fill gaps in the “out of the box” configuration options?” That paragraph opens a blog post series by Bob German entitled Calling SharePoint CSOM from Azure Functions.
