SharePoint Custom Forms

SharePoint
Custom Forms

 

SharePoint Custom Forms saves time and improves user experience, which
in turn increases user adoption.

Investing in custom forms can significantly enhance organisational efficiency and productivity by streamlining data collection, improving user experience, and facilitating better collaboration.

Traditional forms often lack the flexibility and adaptability required in today’s dynamic business environment. Custom forms are tailored to meet specific business needs, enabling organisations to design user-friendly interfaces that gather relevant data succinctly and effectively. These forms can automate workflows and processes, reducing manual errors and saving time.

Moreover, by integrating seamlessly with other SharePoint tools, custom forms allow for real-time data analysis and reporting, empowering decision-makers with timely insights. Custom forms can also ensure compliance with regulatory requirements by implementing data validation rules and enabling secure data storage. The ability to leverage mobile and cloud technologies means that data can be accessed and submitted from anywhere, enhancing workflow flexibility.

What’s more, investing in custom forms can lead to significant cost savings in the long run. By reducing reliance on paper-based processes and manual data entry, organisations can lower operational costs and minimise the risk of data loss or inaccuracies.

In a market that increasingly values digital transformation, establishing a robust system of custom forms can also improve communication across teams, ensuring that everyone is on the same page and that projects move forward smoothly.

Ultimately, the investment in custom forms positions organisations to adapt swiftly to changing demands and fosters a culture of innovation, making it a strategic decision for any business aiming to improve its processes and enhance overall performance.

Fully-integrated with SharePoint


Your forms aren’t simply embedded – they’re integrated seamlessly into the Modern SharePoint experience.


Data is drawn in from Office 365, and PerForm can connect to data sources like Dynamics 365 and Azure, too.

 

Custom forms with collaboration:


PerForm lets you share a form with as many people as your workflow requires, with progress being saved between sessions.

Role and stage-based permissions let you lock down fields depending on who’s editing the form, and what stage your process is at.

any device


PerForm is fully responsive and works on any modern web browser – on the desktop, on a tablet or on a smartphone.

Your forms will work, regardless of the device they’re being used on, making forms work for office-based and field workers alike.

 

No extra licensing


PerForm doesn’t require any additional licenses – your existing SharePoint licences will cover everything.

You can even let external users use and submit forms with no additional licensing requirement.

Interactive components to easily capture key data

are part of SharePoint.
