How to show specific views depending on the current user group in a SharePoint list

May 13, 2014

There is a way to show and redirect users to specific views depending on their group, by modifying the "AllItems.aspx" page. Firstly, create library within your site called JqueryLibraries and put there the jquery-1.9.0.js and the jquery.SPServices-0.7.2.js libraries. You can download the jquery.SPServices-0.7.2.js from here: http://spservices.codeplex.com/releases/view/81401 (unzip the file and use the .js version) You can download the jquery-1.9.0.js from here: http://code.google.com/p/google-caja/source/browse/trunk/third_party/precajole/jquery/1.9.0/?r=5248 Create the views where you want the user to be redirected (i.e: Your1View.aspx and Your2View.aspx). Make a security copy of the "AllItems.aspx" page, delete everything in the original page and paste the following: <%@ Page Language="C#" %> <html dir="ltr"> <script language="javascript" src="/ SiteName / JqueryLibraries /jquery-1.9.0.js

Getting the group Name of the current user in Info path forms

April 08, 2014

Sometimes, it is useful to get the group name of the current user in order to create rules based on that group, i.e: if we want to manage the permissions within the form through views depending on groups. The following example shows how to get the group name of the current user . I have divided the steps in 4 main sections: Creating a web service connection : New web service connection need to be created to obtain the group name thought the GetGroupCollectionFormUser service. Exporting the form: The form needs to be exported as we will apply some changes in one of the exported files. Updating the XSD file : Edit the GetGroupCollectionFormUser1.xsd file. Creating rules to manage the permissions within the form : The form permissions will be managed through rules created in the Form Load. Users will see different form views depending on the groups they belong to. Creating a web service connection: Manage Data Connections -> Add -> Receive Data -> SOAP

How to access repeating table/section fields in Info Path Web Browser Forms

Do not forget to include in the condition when field is not blank, as blank values count as duplicates. Get the previous row value: ../ preceding-sibling:: my:RepeatingGroup [count(precedin
