Chapter 9. Managing Views

Views in InfoPath provide the ability to organize and present data in your forms. Where other applications use multiple forms for managing information, views accomplish the same tasks in single InfoPath forms. With traditional applications, you generally have a main switchboard and then switch between forms that refer to specific areas of data.

InfoPath provides the ability to switch between views by either using the built-in menus or creating custom task panes. This chapter explains how to work with views. In this chapter you will:

  • See an overview of using views in InfoPath forms.

  • Take a look at the various view properties.

  • Learn about multiple views.

  • Design a print view.

  • Learn about custom task panes.
