Is your organization using SharePoint as the platform for data management and collaboration? While out-of-the-box functionalities are robust, tailoring user experiences to specific organizational needs often requires a more customized approach. Enter SharePoint Framework (SPFx). With SPFx we can create a custom solution within our organizations SharePoint environment that creates a better user experience, facilitates better business processes, and helps to drive adoption. This developer session is dedicated to exploring the art and science of creating custom-designed SharePoint list forms using SharePoint Framework. Attendees will learn how to use SPFx, leveraging its capabilities to design intuitive, visually appealing, and highly functional list forms that elevate user productivity and satisfaction. We will explore some key design principles to think about when building forms, and some community tools to help make that design easier.

In SharePoint classic, we could edit list forms using SharePoint Designer or through the SharePoint user interface and content editor web parts. As we transitioned into modern, there were little to no options to enhance the user experience for List and Library forms. Now we can use out of the box list forms with custom JSON formatting, create PowerApp list forms, and most recently, create SPFx custom lists forms. In this session we will see examples of each approach, discuss pros and cons, and review additional resources for each option. You will leave with an understanding of the different approaches for list form customizations and what to use when based on your needs.

We will cover Copilot Studio agents, SharePoint agents, declarative agents, and custom engine agents. Attendees will leave with an understanding of specific use cases for each type of agent, learn practical steps for implementing them successfully, and leave with resources for further learning. Join us for an in-depth exploration of these agents and how they can enhance your Microsoft 365 experience.
