Quick questions re moving to InfoPath forms
- by sweissman
Hi there:
I’ve been asked to look into how best to move forms into InfoPath and have a couple of basic questions about your experiences so I can get an insider’s lay of the land. Even some short, quick bullets would be really helpful -- thank you!
Are you starting from scratch in InfoPath, or are you converting from paper or a different e-format? (Jetform, PDF, etc.)
Are you trying to re-create the layout of a specific paper form, or is a regular online form OK? (trying to learn what the latest thinking is about this)
Do you need only simple fill and submit capabilities, or do you need programming for calculations, validation, database lookup/entry/reporting, etc. as well? (don’t know how much harder it is to do all this vs. not)
How long does each form take to finish? (I know it depends, but is there a rough guideline for planning purposes?)
Who’s doing the actual work? (by title or function)
What is especially straightforward or challenging about moving to InfoPath forms? (forewarned is forearmed!)
