Hi,

I am new to SP Forms and need help.

Previously I don't have an issue to get user profile from Active Directory as I used InfoPath form. Now I'm stuck in customizing simple form to make my annual leave form as auto-fill with data such as Employee Name, Employee Number, Employed Date, Department etc...

Already googling but no solution found.

Any idea?

Hi,

You can retrieve user profile properties with the help of JSOM and populate fields by using our JS-framework:

If you need to retrieve properties that do not exist in the User Information List, you can synchronize a custom list with Active Directory with the help of simple console application that starts on schedule:

And then retrieve data from the list via JavaScript.
