InfoPath is a great tool which allows for quick customization of a lists’ look and feel. To date, I have found there are several options available, and the form platform you choose is going to depend upon your environment, requirements, and application lifecycle.
The reality is, that even though InfoPath is at its end of life for new development, it will continue to be supported for at least the next few versions of SharePoint in its current form.
In addition, Microsoft is researching new technologies which will replace the current form technologies so they can provide a device independent platform.īut the question many of us have is “How do I choose the right tool” to create web based forms using technologies available right now? Do we abandon InfoPath, and if so, what do we choose?įor the past few months I have been trying out all the InfoPath alternatives to nail down a definitive answer, and I have come to realize the answer is not quite as simple and it is the inevitable “.it depends”. The InfoPath Forms Services technology within Office 365 will be maintained and it will function until further notice.” according to this blog post by the Microsoft Office Team. We have known for quite some time Microsoft isn’t putting a large effort into InfoPath and in fact “… InfoPath 2013 is the last release of the desktop client, and InfoPath Forms Services in SharePoint Server 2013 is the last release of InfoPath Forms Services.
