The combination of Microsoft lists and

00:00:08

Microsoft forms now streamlines your workflow

00:00:11

and offers significantly richer customization options.

00:00:16

Before this integration,

00:00:17

you either shared the default list entry form.

00:00:21

Or built a custom form by editing Jason.

00:00:24

The latter required technical expertise

00:00:27

in a solid command of the Microsoft Lis interface.

00:00:31

Microsoft now allows you to create a form survey directly from a list.

00:00:36

This enhancement makes configuration far more intuitive

00:00:40

while opening the door to additional formatting

00:00:42

choices tailored to your specific needs.

00:00:46

From within the lists,

00:00:47

simply select create a form.

00:00:50

A side panel immediately displays each existing column.

00:00:54

You then choose the ones you wish to turn into questions.

00:00:58

If you need another field,

00:01:00

the add a field button instantly creates a new column at

00:01:03

the end of the list and adds it to the form.

00:01:06

For multiple choice questions,

00:01:08

the corresponding column is generated automatically and stores user selections.

00:01:14

Once the layout is finalized,

00:01:16

generate the share link.

00:01:18

Users complete the questionnaire,

00:01:21

submit their responses,

00:01:23

and those responses are written directly into the original list.

00:01:27

No further action is required.

00:01:29

After publication,

00:01:31

existing forms can be duplicated to create variants,

00:01:34

deleted when no longer needed,

00:01:36

or temporarily disabled without data loss.

00:01:39

This flexibility is especially valuable when several departments

00:01:43

or scenarios must coexist on the same list.

00:01:46

By integrating Microsoft forms,

00:01:49

Microsoft List makes data entry faster,

00:01:52

more accessible,

00:01:53

and fully customizable,

00:01:55

all without writing a single line of JSON.

00:01:59

In the next video,

00:02:00

we will explore situations

00:02:02

where having multiple forms on a single list

00:02:05

delivers real value.
