What is the status of Outlook Forms? Organization Forms Library replacement?
I'm questioning any continue investment in Outlook Forms since MS has not provided a modern replacement of the Public Folder dependent Organizational Forms Library. I attempted to remove legacy PF's from our Office 365 Tenant and the Organizational Forms Library was the blocker.
I am getting a new request for additional Outlook Forms and since I have not seen news or continued investment in the technology I would like to get MS current recommendation? Is MS now recommending other MS form solutions instead?
- You can use a Shared mailbox to store the forms, just make sure it's permissioned to all the relevant people (they need to access it in cached mode).
- StuartS_EFECopper ContributorThanks Vasil. That seems like a reasonable approach where instead of an Org wide forms library I could create and deploy forms librarys at the dept level. Is MS starting to push any of the other new forms solutions as preferred to Outlook Forms?
- They are pushing PowerApps and such... not really a replacement for Outlook forms currently. Depends on your use case I suppose.
