I want to create a simple web application with Sharepoint 2013. It is a home page that addresses several forms that each user can fill in all the forms and view the data you entered. Another superuser can view all completed forms by other users. Would he have to do with html + javascript + some database manager? Or could it be declaratively or unscheduled, with elements of SharePoint?
You can use InfoPath forms to allow user fill in data (all saved data stored in sharepoint list), and make custom view to present data stored in a list.
For creating custom view you can use Client Side Rendering (CSR), which just re-rending incoming data, or use Javascript Object Model (JSOM), which will connect to your sharepoint list and display it whatever you want.
If you don't know about these technologies you can read a lot:
Infopath: InfoPath-Forms-Part
CSR: SharePoint-Client-Side-Rendering-List-Views, Client-side-rendering-JS
JSOM: How to: Retrieve List Items Using JavaScript

I want an spfx made webpart that I've made be able to send an email (I'm using IEmailProperties at the moment) which provides a link to a modal form?
For example:
User clicks button in webpart, form loads.
User fills out form and submits it to SP list.
Form sends email on submission. Email has a link to the actual item created, so when the user clicks the provided email link, it opens up the modal form.
I would presume that the user would HAVE to be sent to the SP page where the webpart is unconditionally, but would it be possible to open up the modal corresponding to the SP list item?
Is this feature available in SharePoint framework, because if it isn't, compared to something like InfoPath 2013 or PowerApps it's quite a limitation.
I've researched this with several shallow Google searches and on gitHub for any premade stuff, but alas there is nothing that I've spotted.
I've been told IT IS possible:
"Yeah, they’d have to visit the page. Email clients don’t do JavaScript so you can’t really do interactive stuff there. If you want to take them directly to a page that then displays a modal, that’s plenty possible though. (e.g. display the modal based on if the URL contains a certain string)"
But wouldn't know how to do the above, can anyone start me on the right path?
Regards,

In the email, pass a query string containing the item ID/list ID etc of the item, then have the webpart read the See: How can I get query string values in JavaScript? If your values exist. If they do exist, then open the modal using some kind of framework like bootstrap or fluent UI. You can write your own form using PnPjs or use an iframe potentially to display the OOTB edit form.
Additionally, you can link to any page in SharePoint provided you use an extension instead of a webpart to host the modal. You can install extensions tenant wide, and have it listen for the query string.
What I want to make
Is this possible?
I'd like to create an output form that reads data from a Google Sheets spreadsheet. In the form, users would enter a few values (entering their name and some ID number, for example) and view the corresponding information in the connected spreadsheet but not any other information in the sheet. Something like an output form in Microsoft Access. I'm hoping there's a way to accomplish this in Google Sheets using existing tools and maybe some scripting.
More generally, though, any way to create this type of 'limited visibility' on a per-user basis for Google Sheets data would be useful. (The 'protect sheet' function in the menu doesn't accomplish this; see below.)
For reference, my specific use case at the moment is as a teacher and wanting a way for students to see specific information related to them from my student information spreadsheet but while not revealing other students' information. I would have a simple form where they enter a name and maybe some personalized code that I give them so they can see their attendance record or something else. For my purposes, I don't need the form to be extremely secure as none of the information is all that sensitive (although more secure is better), but I don't want to be just putting all the information there in front of them by giving them access to the entire sheet.
What I've tried so far
I made a new spreadsheet file with two sheets; one sheet was visible to function as a form, and the second sheet was not visible (which I accomplished via the 'protect' menu option). I used importrange() to read in the relevant data from my primary spreadsheet to the new spreadsheet's non-visible sheet. On the visible sheet, students entered their name from a drop-down and entered their student ID as validation. If the student's name and ID matched, the first sheet did a vlookup() to read in information from the protected sheet and some information from their student record.
Here's what I made, in case my description doesn't make sense: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1cHO2jzMh1mkXvlLh-M4eYqN7v11t95-GnfWqL5IwQ14&authuser=0
This had two problems, one small and one big.
The small problem was that every student could see the "form" sheet at the same time. If two students opened the spreadsheet at the same time they would see any information that the other student had entered. I handled this by writing a simple script to automatically reset the "form's" input cells after 20 seconds. Also, any time the form was opened by a new person, the "form's" output cells were erased. So, obviously not a brilliant solution, but for my purposes, this was mostly good enough.
The big problem was that Google's own preview viewer (built into Google Drive and the like) ignores protected ranges and sheets and displays the entire contents a spreadsheet. (Normally, protected sheets are not visible at all and don't appear in the list of sheets at the bottom of the screen unless the viewer has access to them.)
In my case this meant included the protected one that shouldn't have been visible at all, rendered as if it were a print preview, meaning the students were actually able to view all of the other students' data in one big table.
Are you familiar with Web Apps?
An Apps Script Web App allows you among others to output selected Google Document contents into a browser.
Hereby, you can use the method Session.getActiveUser() to obtain the email of the user and dynamically adjust the data the user is going to obtain in function of his email (BTW, you can also use Session.getActiveUser() in the spreadsheet, to detect the user automatically instead of asking him for his name).
Simple example workflow:
Replace in column A student names through student emails (the Gmail addresses with which the users authenticate their sessions and access Google Sheets)
Bind to the spreadsheet a script with a content similar to the following:
function doGet(){
var ss=SpreadsheetApp.getActive().getSheetByName('Data');
var range=ss.getDataRange();
var values=range.getValues();
var user=Session.getActiveUser();
var output="";
for(var i=1;i<ss.getLastRow();i++){
if(values[i][0]==user){
for(var j=1;j<ss.getLastColumn();j++){
output+=(values[i][j])+" ";
}
}
}
return ContentService.createTextOutput(JSON.stringify(output));
}
Make sure that you have a doGet() function and a return statement.
After running the script once manually to trigger authorization flow, deploy it as a Web App - executing it as User accessing the web app and giving access to Anyone (unless desired otherwise).
Copy the URL of your WebApp and forward it to your student.
When the student open the URL in their browser - they will obtain their results - provided their email is listed in the sheet.
Please note that the code provided is a simple sample, that retrieves
all data and outputs it as a string. Feel free to modify the script
e.g. retrieving only columns of interest and outputting the data as a
html table, rather than a simple string.
I'm not sure if it's possible to do what I'm hoping, but maybe I'll get lucky. It has to do with setting form fields in a SharePoint 2010 list, using InfoPath forms.
Basically, I have one list with requests from several vendors. Each vendors has their own requests page which is a Web Part Page with one web part: a list of submissions with a custom view applied that filters it only to them. This is a (clunky but functional) way to ensure each vendor only sees their own requests. To submit a new request, they click on the "Add Item" link at the bottom of the list web part. At this point, a customized InfoPath form pops up, and they add their request.
In the form, one of the fields is "Vendor". What I would like to achieve is to have the InfoPath form read something on the page which tells it which vendor's page it was called from and pre-select that vendor (I could then disable the control so they couldn't change it). I am happy to alter the calling page as needed, or to configure the InfoPath form (can you custom-configure GET or POST values or anything to define a field that way?).
Any help would be very appreciated.
I'm new to Jasper, I'm building a report and embedding it in my web application, which consist of List of names from my database, I want those names to be hyperlink so that if the user click on that name he must be able to view the details page about that person in my web application. Can some one please let me know is this feature possible ?
Yeah u have to create object id for each user and place that user with in html hyperlink tag then call function for showing the user page based on object id.
I have an HTML form that uses the Facebook registration plugin. I have a couple of custom text fields (the kind that are included in the iFrame itself).
Whether user prefills the form using Facebook. or enters the data himself, I am able to store all values in my database without.
At the end of my post method, I redirect to load the same page. At this point, I would like to populate the fields from the data in my database. By which I mean, if the user logs off Facebook, on this page, he should still see the data that he has submitted to my database.
How do I set values for the fields (both custom and regular fields) in the registration form?
Should I say document.getElementById('field_name').value = "hello"?
Well it depends which technology you are using to generate the pages. That would be good to know. You most likely would have the JSP/ASP/PHP prepopulate those fields with from the data as it sends the HTML to the user.
