Forms Governance
Is there any plan to improve Forms governance for administrators and users at large organizations? It feels like several of the back-end underpinnings of Forms are still living in the "consumer product" governance model, versus an "enterprise product" one.
Such as:
- Giving admins more than 30 days to recover an orphaned form from a terminated employee before it's gone. Currently after this time period the best-effort approach seems to be to do an e-discovery hoping to find the results file so at least previous answers and a roadmap for re-creation of the form questions can be provided.
- Actually https://feedbackportal.microsoft.com/feedback/idea/8f957a1e-7bbd-ed11-83ff-000d3a1ab7d1 users during the Form creation process to make a form group-owned if it's intended for something more than personal use cases.
- Allowing the https://feedbackportal.microsoft.com/feedback/idea/7516877b-4abe-ed11-83ff-000d3a1f8608.
- https://feedbackportal.microsoft.com/feedback/idea/7ae16276-4abe-ed11-83ff-000d3a1ab5c3, prompt user when they're approaching the limit, and give users a bulk way to delete old forms/quizzes/polls to get back under the ceiling.
- Allowing https://feedbackportal.microsoft.com/feedback/idea/6c9cc40a-7bbd-ed11-83ff-002248273995.
- Improving the types of survey questions and integration into Powerpoint to come closer to the capabilities of 3rd party products like Slido.
Many of these capabilities/features/management tools have been being asked for for years. Quite frankly, we administrators are much more interested in these kinds of nuts and bolts core functions than integrating animated backgrounds/sounds and other window-dressing bells and whistles.
Would love to hear others' perspectives and hopefully this will catch the eye of someone with the product group. Thanks!
