Forms in SharePoint Online
Good Day
We have use cases for creating a basic form taking the whole page with a button for submission. When it comes to creating a form covering the scenario mentioned what are recommended/supported paths? (a) the native list form brings up a small pane on the left to add new list records with a save button (b) InfoPath could help ensure the whole page is used and maybe have the submission button have other logic (i.e email someone) (c) PowerApps as the replacement for InfoPath (d) Microsoft Forms - although more of a survey or quiz tool could that be an option too? Thanks for any feedback
I would say it largely depends on your audience and the type of information you're collecting. I wouldn't build anything new in InfoPath though.
You can use the built in forms as the whole page by linking them to NewForm.aspx (unless you've customized your built in forms already). For instance: https://yoursite.sharepoint.com/Lists/ListName/NewForm.aspx
PowerApps will give you a lot of control over the form itself and is not too hard for a tech savvy person. You also have control over logic that you'd like performed on submission, but you can also achieve that by building a Flow attached to your list.
Microsoft Forms are useful if you only need basic data - the question types are limited. You can combine Forms and Flow to get information to a Sharepoint list, send emails, etc.
- thank you
