Hi,

I have several infopath 2010 form template that I want to publish to a form library in SharePoint 2010 Server with enterprise CaL. All of this forms have a common part (a template part actually). Is it possible to define a common "parent" content type of this forms ?

In fact, I want :

  • Form content type (SP OOB)
    • My root form content type, with standard columns "requester", "process name", etc.
      • Form 1
      • Form 2
      • etc.
    • other unrelated form 1
    • other unrelated form 2

Instead of the standard behavior :

  • Form content type (SP OOB)
    • Form 1
    • Form 2
    • other unrelated form 1
    • other unrelated form 2
    • etc.

Behind this question I want to be able to create a dashboard of all form request using a content query web, by simply specifying the content type ...

One last word: the idea is to allow a customer (assuming its knowledge is limited to IP 2010 basic form design). So I can't accept answers like "extract files, use a text editor and hack the xsf file"...

thx in advance
