Open InfoPath form in Filler in SharePoint Server 2013/2016

To format a link to open an InfoPath 2013 form in filler form, you can use the following URL structure:

ms-infopath:nft|u|https://sharepoint-site-url/Path-to-form.xml

Here's what each part of the URL means:

  • ms-infopath is a protocol handler that tells the browser to open the InfoPath form in the client application.
  • nft is a parameter that specifies the form type. For InfoPath Filler forms, use nft=2.
  • u is a parameter that specifies the URL of the form.
  • https://sharepoint-site-url/Path-to-form.xml is the URL of the InfoPath form on the SharePoint site.

To create the link, replace the https://sharepoint-site-url/Path-to-form.xml portion with the URL of your InfoPath form on the SharePoint site, and wrap the entire link in an <a> tag.

For example, here's what the HTML code for the link might look like:

<a href="ms-infopath:nft|u|https://sharepoint-site-url/Path-to-form.xml">Open InfoPath form</a>

When the user clicks on this link, it should open the InfoPath form in the InfoPath Filler application, if it is installed on their computer.
