Guestbook

Guestbooks maintained on paper or through informal comment cards give organizations feedback that cannot be aggregated, tracked over time, or acted on systematically. Responses are handwritten, inconsistently formatted, and physically separated from any digital record. Without a structured, searchable collection of visitor feedback, identifying patterns in what guests valued or what fell short requires manual effort that should not be necessary.

The Guestbook template for SharePoint, built with Infowise Ultimate Forms, provides a structured feedback form that captures the visitor's name, visit date, five rated satisfaction dimensions, and two open-ended comment fields. Every entry is stored as a consistent, comparable record in SharePoint.

How it works

Visitor details

The form captures the visitor's name and the start date of their visit. Linking each feedback entry to a specific visit date allows organizations to track satisfaction over time, correlate feedback with specific events or periods, and identify whether service quality is improving or declining across different timeframes.

Five-dimension visit rating

A dedicated rating section asks visitors to score five dimensions of their experience on a one-to-five scale: overall visit quality, service satisfaction, cleanliness and maintenance of the facilities, likelihood to recommend, and how well the visit met their expectations. Using a consistent scale across all five dimensions makes it straightforward to aggregate scores, compare results across time periods, and identify which specific aspects of the visitor experience require attention.

Open-ended comments

Two open-ended fields give visitors the space to describe their experience in their own words. The first invites them to share details of what they enjoyed about their visit. The second asks specifically how the experience could have been improved. Capturing both perspectives within the same record gives organizations both positive reinforcement to build on and specific, actionable feedback to address.

Built on standard SharePoint lists
