Forms
are often used in SharePoint lists, and in a series of articles
we will take a closer look at what an administrator can
do with them.
In the demo below Peter Kalmstrom, CEO and Systems Designer
of kalmstrom.com Business Solutions, shows how to make list
forms open in a dialog, like in SharePoint 2010.
Click on the List Settings button under the LIST
tab in the ribbon.
Click on the Advanced Settings link.
At the bottom, select the Yes radio button for 'Launch
forms in a dialog'.
Click OK.
Peter continues with an overview over various methods to
customize a form. These methods will also be described in
separate articles.
An additional way to create a form is to use a
workflow that opens a form. This kind of workflow is
suitable for a simple form that feeds into a more detailed
form, and it is described in an article in our SharePoint
Workflows section.
It is also possible to
customize a SharePoint list form with PowerApps. Just
select that option in a list with the modern interface,
and the list form will open in the PowerApps Studio. This
is described in our Office 365 from Scratch series.
