Two users filling out different sections of the same form

I want to use Forms to create a new employee onboarding form for account creation. It only has to be filled out by two people. Is there a way to "assign" each section of one form to be filled out by a specific person? 

 

The first section was created for HR to fill out: New user information, start date, position, company, etc.

 

The second section was created for their Supervisor to fill out: equipment needs, SharePoint access, Groups, Teams, Share Mailboxes/Calendars, etc.

 

If I can help it, I'd rather not have to create and keep track of two forms for one new user. :xd:

  • There is still no way to do this unless you save the data into a SharePoint list with a flow in Power Automate and then use a Power Apps customised form on the list for the manager to enter their information.

    Hi, 

    Yes would be good that an add-on complete the Forms solutions by multiple sections, and allow each section to a specific user (different users from section to other) in chronological way or in parallel depending on cases. 

    Regards.

    Did you ever come up with a solution for this? Sounds like we have the exact same workflow we're trying to automate.

        Rob is correct. I did not want to go that route hoping they would accommodate this issue. Just using two forms unfortunately.

    bfras130 there's no way to do this with Microsoft Forms, it's a very basic form submission app. You would be able to do this with an app in Power Apps but that is considerably more complex.

      Bummer. I figured assigning a section would be a pretty simple add-on.

       

      Thanks for the response.
