Internal ordering/Shopping system
Hello all
I am looking at ways to build a platform/simple system where our IT team can list some items they want to get rid of for example laptops, monitors etc, and our internal staff can access this form and see what inventory there is and make a request/reservation for an item in the inventory.
Users should be restricted to reserving/requesting only one item.
On the IT teams end, we'd ideally like an email or some kind of output to show who's reserved/requested what.
Does anyone have any ideas on how I can build this in MS Forms?
Thank you for your help in advance!
kc1986 yes this is quite possible and we've done it at my company in the past. If you use Forms on its own all it can do is to log the request, it can't do anything else with it. So...you won't be able to build this with Forms on its own but will also need to use a SharePoint list and some flows in Power Automate to link it all up, check whether the requestor has already submitted a request and send confirmation email of the request/reservation to the requestor and finally send a response when IT have approved or rejected it. I've got a bit of time later today so will put together a simple demo for you.

Intranet, SharePoint and Power Platform Manager (and classic 1967 Morris Traveller driver)Hi RobElliott, that's fantastic thank you! I didn't think Forms could do it standalone, so was expecting some sort of integration with PowerApps/Power Automate/Sharepoint. I'm new to this and not done much with it so please forgive any silly questions
Looking forward to seeing your demo 🙂
Thanks again!Hi RobElliott, I have DM'd you re the simple demo 🙂 Please let me know if you're able to help. Thanks!
