Forms for E3 tenants!
- Feb 27, 2017
Thanks for the response Lana. I think there is a gap that forms could solve that could be used in E3 tenants. Unfortunately InfoPath has been removed from the Office 2016 suite, so I don't think InfoPath is a viable solution going forward. Powerapps might solve some use cases, but in my opinion it is geared towards power users and those who are technically minded. If you're wondering why Microsoft Forms is a success in the education sector, I think it is because it's dead simple to use. I think we have a lot of users in our organization that need that simple tool for simple purposes and I think many other companies have the need for a simple forms tool as well.
Also, even Microsoft has used Forms for non-education purposes. I've attached a screenshot of an example where Microsoft used Forms to gain feedback/sign up information from multiple companies interested in testing the new Yammer edit post feature.
So if Microsoft can see the clear need to use Microsoft forms for non-educational purposes, I hope you'll also see that there is a clear need for this tool for E3 tenants.
I'm seeing it live on my E3 tenant now, no registrations feature showing, and it isnt showing in applauncher yet..

Likewise, it's showing up for my E3 users but nothing in the applauncher yet. If I go to forms.office.com I get the following error: "Your account is not enabled for Microsoft Forms"
Watch this space I guess...

Same here, E3 with first release for my account. I show as being enabled within the E3 licensing for Forms but when I go to forms.office.com I just get the error about not being enabled.

Same here. Problem with new features in O365 is that you never know if it is then turned on by default, or turned off and you need to turn it on in the portal (or even PowerShell). A little more transparency and coherence from Microsoft would not be bad.
