When it comes to creating SharePoint Solutions, it always begins with forms
Every process starts when a user fills out a form. Whether it is a simple process or a multi-stage approval, it all begins with the form. At Infowise we understand that an excellent form building tool is essential. Our Form Designer Tool has received hundreds of improvements to make it easy to use and powerful.
New Ultimate Forms users begin with our free trial software and Kickstart Training which shows how to get started in Form Designer for the first time.
From there, users can tap into more and more functionality including dynamic form building features like rules for permissions, default values, validation, styling and more.
Nintex is a Workflow Software with Forms Added On
When evaluating Nintex software, it becomes obvious that they care about Workflow much more than anything else. While workflow is important, generally this is the realm of developers and usually requires custom code.
Where Nintex focuses on workflows, Infowise Ultimate Forms perfects what matters most - powerful, dynamic forms that live natively inside SharePoint.
When you start thinking about your SharePoint solution, what would you want to build first? Your form, of course!
SharePoint's Biggest Problem is No Custom Form Building
The biggest issue in SharePoint isn't lack of workflow. That can be done by using Ultimate Forms Actions or by using Microsoft Power Automate. The problem is that we are unable to build custom forms. Microsoft provides Power Apps, but this is heavily developer oriented and time consuming form development requiring lots of custom programming to build dynamic forms. On the other end of the spectrum is Microsoft Forms which is a far too basic form building tool which works only for one-time form submissions.
No Code vs Low Code
Nintex requires custom programming. Ultimate Forms requires no coding. Nintex describe their software as "low code", which means that their product is best suited to SharePoint developers. SharePoint related programming doesn't come easily. This requires extensive training of IT workers who can dedicate themselves to deep technical documentation. Infowise has from the start adopted a strategy to allow our users to create solutions with no custom programming. This means all configuration takes place in dropdown pickers, checkboxes and other selectors. With Ultimate Forms, you don't have to be a SharePoint wizard and you never have to do any programming.
The Majority of SharePoint Solution Development is done in Forms
When it comes to fulfilling business requirements and building out work processes in SharePoint, the majority of building is done in forms. With Ultimate Forms, you can build out custom functionality including dynamic form sections, custom buttons and multi stage processes all within the form building tool. In fact, in many situations updates can be incorporated into the form which would otherwise be handled in workflow. Ultimate Forms allows you to eliminate complex workflow steps by incorporating updates into the form building tool. A great example is history tracking. Using our tools, you can set up a custom button to build a history log at the bottom of the form without needing to create any custom workflow at all.
Form Styling is Made Easiest of All
When it comes to making your form look nice, it couldn't get any easier. We include style tools and default themes to speed up the process. Pick your colors and go. What you see is what you get. No more messing around with complicated CSS code or configuration. Just use a color picker for options on background color, borders and font color. It's super fast.
Setting Up Repeating Tables is Easy
Another awesome feature of Ultimate Forms is the ability to connect two SharePoint lists so that you can have a repeating table. This situation comes up often. If you want to have line items on a timesheet, purchase order or invoice then you need a repeating table. Ultimate Forms includes the Associated Items Field to solve this problem. You can create the field on the fly and immediately have a repeating table with summary totals.
