Advice on Forms capabilities
darrenbrown, although Forms can do what you require and is simple to set up I would suggest you also consider having a SharePoint list with a customised PowerApps form (called a canvas app) which gets its fields from the columns in the SharePoint list. The link to create this is at the top of the list. That will allow you have a nicely-formatted form with checkboxes, dropdowns, toggles, text columns, photo fields, attachments, logo etc. And, when you save it the data is saved to the list. As an example, a large form that we are using (which I built) is shown below and as well as saving the data to the underlying SharePoint list it also triggers an approval workflow via Flow.
I hope your IT Manager has a re-think as the new tools in Office 365 are really good and can save huge amounts of time and increase productivity.

RobElliott Would you be willing to provide some more detail on how you created this document, this is exactly what I need to do. We are building a Quality Management System in SP.
Thanks,

RobElliott I'm wondering if there are any tutorials etc available on what you suggest? I too was looking for solutions for logging QHSE inspections via Microsoft forms. Thanks
darrenbrown Did it work out for you?
rcoural A very good source of tutorials are the videos on YouTube by Shane Young who covers Power Apps, Power Automate and SharePoint and is an excellent teacher.
