Session Abstract

The options for customizing forms and data collection has changed dramatically from anything goes in SharePoint classic to nothing in the original modern interface to today where we have many different options. From out-of-the-box list forms with custom JSON formatting, Power Apps, List and Library forms, Microsoft Forms, and SharePoint Framework. On top of all of it, agents can also interact with users to gather information using natural language. With all of these options it can be confusing on what tool to use for what job. In this session we'll walk through + real examples built with each approach + compare the pros, cons of each approach and why you would choose one solution over another + how agents fit into this landscape and if they help or are just noise You'll leave with a practical decision framework for choosing the right form option in M365 for your scenario and a set of resources to go deeper on whichever one you pick.
