Email newsletters are a great way to highlight important events in your organization and spread good news. Utilizing Infowise Ultimate Forms, this process becomes much easier. Rather than relying on additional software outside of SharePoint, you can set up your own system that is flexible and reusable. In this article we'll go through the process...

A dynamic form is a form that changes its appearance or behavior in response to user input or other events: hiding or showing fields based on entered values, enabling actions based on the user's role, filtering one dropdown by another. In SharePoint, you can get limited dynamism from native list forms, and full dynamism from customization tools,...

SharePoint forms work on phones, and with Ultimate Forms they work well: the same form your desktop users fill in adapts automatically to a phone screen through responsive design, with no separate mobile version to build. The best way to use them is the one already in every pocket, the phone's browser, opened to your SharePoint URL and saved as a...

Four rules separate a SharePoint alert email that gets acted on from one that gets archived unread: put the key information in the subject line, keep the body to what happened and what happens next, end with a single next-step link, and format that link to look like a button. None of them require code or special tools, they are writing and...

All on-premises components of Ultimate Forms install through a single unified installer. One tool adds, removes, or upgrades any licensed component and performs the full set of deployment commands across the farm: retracting and deploying WSP solutions, restarting the right services in the right order, activating features, copying resources to...

You can run a Power Automate flow the moment something specific happens in a SharePoint form, and there are two reliable ways to do it. The first calls the flow directly: an Ultimate Forms action of type Call application or service posts to a flow built on the "When a HTTP request is received" trigger, passing field values as parameters. The second...

The best replacement for retired SharePoint alerts is a dedicated no-code alerting engine such as Ultimate Forms Alerts. It restores everything classic alerts did and adds conditional triggers, branded templates, scheduled digests, and reminders, configured in minutes without Power Automate. Microsoft retired classic SharePoint alerts in July 2026,...

You can build a complete social media post tracking system in SharePoint in about ten minutes, without code. We did exactly that at Infowise, using the AI-assisted Form Generator in Ultimate Forms to draft the list structure from a one-sentence prompt, then refining it with a repeating section for posts and summary columns that automatically count...

Ultimate Forms and Power Apps can both build SharePoint forms, but they differ sharply in effort: the same solution took 35 hours in Power Apps and remained unfinished, then took under 10 hours to complete in Ultimate Forms, with no formulas. Here is the full comparison, including two downloadable analysis documents. Two tools, two...

You can place column labels beside their fields in modern SharePoint forms, not just above them. In Ultimate Forms, it is a single toggle in Form Designer, under Styles, on the Style tab, with an adjustable label width to match your longest label. The setting applies to the whole form at once, needs no containers or workarounds, and stays fully...

You can fully design the emails your SharePoint alerts send. Ultimate Forms Alerts lets you define the email format in two ways: directly inside the alert itself, with no separate template to manage, or as reusable templates that administrators share across the organization for consistent branding. Either way, you control the layout, styling, and...

Ultimate Forms includes a built-in dark mode. One click in the user menu switches the entire interface to light text on a dark background, and your choice is remembered on your device, so every session opens the way you prefer. There is no functionality difference between the modes and no configuration involved; it is a personal display preference,...

You can filter a SharePoint lookup column by more than one parent column at once. The Connected Lookup column in Ultimate Forms builds cascading dropdowns where the available options narrow according to any number of parent columns in the form, and those parents can be Choice columns as well as lookups. Select a category, a region, and a quality...

The key to professional-looking Word print templates in Ultimate Forms is tables. You design an ordinary Word document, place your SharePoint fields in double square brackets like [[Field Name]], and use Word tables to control exactly where every piece of data lands on the page: columns for side-by-side content, merged cells for headers, and...

You can copy any rule from one element of a SharePoint form and paste it onto another. Form Designer in Ultimate Forms supports copy and paste for all four rule types, permission rules, validation rules, default value rules, and style rules. Check off the rules to copy, click the copy button in that rule section's header, click the target element,...

You can print a SharePoint item together with all of its related child records as a single PDF. The recipe in Ultimate Forms takes two Print List Items actions: the first prints each child record with its own Word template and attaches the resulting PDFs to the parent item, and the second prints the parent and appends those attachments as...
