The quick way for users to understand O365: The Periodic Table of Office 365
- Thanks for your continued contributions to the community, Matt! Great job; we have referred to this many times in the past few months.
Deleted has subsequently updated the graphic to include Forms. He keeps the graphic up to date at https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/everyday-intro-office-365-matt-wade. He also has an infographic about Office 365 Groups is at http://icansharepoint.com/everyday-guide-office-365-groups/.
The caption for Forms, "code free forms", I feel isn't very explanatory, especially to regular end users. I think a better caption for it would be "Surveys, Quizes, and Polls".
Michael Blumenthal Yeah, I've considered that and am still debating a change in the upcoming next version. To play devil's advocate, the product is called Microsoft Forms.
True, but "code free forms" equally well described PowerApps, does it not? The goal here is to highlight how each one is different.
I've considered that. It's a shame they named it Forms, eh? :) I've further addressed this https://www.reddit.com/r/sharepoint/comments/6ia2pz/periodic_table_of_office_365_welcomes_forms_xpost/dj5428v/ if you're interested. I agree that your concerns are valid, but I think they need to be pointed more at Redmond than anywhere else.
I will say that I've been using Forms for sign up and feedback uses (and, actually, only those use cases). I wouldn't call either of those a poll, a quiz, or a survey; I'd refer to them as "sign-up forms" and "feedback forms". Unfortunately, the vernacular 'form' does apply to this product, even if the IT/BPI 'form' definition (or, likely better phrased expectation) may not.
No perfect answer. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
