Chapter 9. Collecting and managing data by integrating with InfoPath
In the last chapter we began our discussion of composite sites and how to build powerful applications using SharePoint Designer. We’ll continue our discussion of composite sites in this chapter. The tool we’ll focus on is InfoPath. The scenario that you’re going to implement, following a step-by-step process, is for automating the review process of employees at the end of a project. To begin, we’ll discuss the scenario you’ve been given and how you’ll attain the solution utilizing SharePoint.
This section consists of three parts: situation, business priorities, and solution. The first part, situation, provides a detailed explanation of the request that you’ve received. The next part, business priorities, extracts a list of requirements based on priority to accomplish your goals. The third part gives you an overview of the solution that we’ll spend the rest of the chapter walking through and building.
