InfoPath 2013 strange behavior

Question

Hello Friends,

I have an InfoPath form which 5 page views each dedicated for specific functionality. I also have a workflow that will trigger based on certain fields in the form. When I click on Submit button, the form saves some information in the list and a workflow will trigger based on the data submitted.

Of recently, I have noticed a strange behavior with the form. When I click the button, the form is waiting for a while before it submits the data and I'm not sure why it's happening so.

Can someone please help me with this. I can answer any queries and follow suggestions.

Answer 1

Hi Chandra- do you have any additional data connections? Is this happening with any other forms, standard or InfoPath? Also, do you have a lot of rules? Have you checked the rule inspector? Any other calculations or functionality?

Hi,

I suggest you monitor what happened after you clicked the submit button.

Fiddler is a tool that helps you debug web applications by capturing network traffic between the Internet and test computers. The tool enables you to inspect incoming and outgoing data to monitor and modify requests and responses before the browser receives them.

While Microsoft supports and encourages open-source software development, it does not provide technical support for the software from third parties, nor does it guarantee that the software will work as described.

Thanks,

Answer 3

Hi Cameron,

Thank you for the reply. I have only one data connection for submitting the data to the list. Yes, I do have some rules but not a lot of them and certainly only 2 rules ( for submitting data and switching views) when submitting the form.

As Dean suggested in the below email, how can use the Fiddler to check the time for data submission?

Answer 4

Hi Candra,

The timeline in Fiddler shows the start time and duration of each selected session – get to know at a glance how your app is using the network. You can view between 1 and 250 selected sessions as a “waterfall” diagram, which is useful both for performance analysis and to understand how requests relate to one another.

Thanks,

Dean Wang
