Wipe out SharePoint List forms limitations,
Real sophisticated Forms - in SharePoint!

 

Web form capabilities without the need for InfoPath! 

While SharePoint’s out-of-the-box permission settings allow administrators to hide and show entire lists, this is often not enough customization for more sophisticated implementations. When InfoPath is used in conjunction, SharePoint offers further levels of customization and permission settings, but this pairing is complicated to install and quite costly.  KWizCom’s SharePoint List Forms Extensions Feature offers the same customization abilities at a budget-friendly price and requires zero development. 

With SharePoint List Forms Extensions Feature, you can display, hide and disable fields based on specific users or values. For example, you can show fields conditionally based on a specific users response and then enable another field to appear. This allows you to not only provide a customizable experience, but you can also collect more relevant data.

 Want to make sure you only receive accurate information? With build-in field validation, SharePoint List Forms Extensions Feature ensures users input input accurate information. Email addresses, zip/postal codes, phone numbers, etc. will always be in the correct format!

SharePoint List Forms Extensions Feature allows you to create a custom user experience, collect relevant data, simplify your implementation and stay within budget!

SharePoint List Forms Extensions Feature includes the following exciting web forms features:

• Field level permissions
• Field level constraints
• Default values
• Field grouping
• View level permissions (Yes , permissions for list views!)
• Navigation

Field-Level Permissions

Now you can define the visibility of specific list form fields to specific users/groups!
We added a new "Field-Level Permissions" management page to every list. This enables the list owner to define the visible/active status for every field:

 

After the fields' permissions settings are saved, the form starts to behave differently for different users. In the following example - the "Due Date" field is disabled for all "KWizCom Members" group members:

 

When a manager edits the same task; the "Due Date" will be visible and active:

 

Field permissions enable user specific modification of forms - you can prevent users from seeing or updating specific fields and provide different forms for different employees/roles.

But wait…that's not all!

You can also define dynamic, field-based rules for hiding/disabling form fields; this turns the SharePoint list forms into full-featured forms with intrinsic field logic!

 

Now you can easily use simple SharePoint lists WITHOUT any additional development to handle scenarios such as:

• Help-Desk form submissions – the user and the technician  utilize different fields  – each sees what's relevant to their task
• Purchase order approval forms – the manager sees different fields than the employee
  
  
  

Field-Level Constraints

Easily define field-validation constraints to enforce input patterns according to required form logic: Email, field length, ID, equals etc.
You can also define any custom regular expression for any required field!

Default Values

You can define default values for field types that out of the box SharePoint does not enable (such as "Person" or "Lookup" fields). You can define different default values for different users/groups as well!

 

 

Field Grouping

Ever tried to create a SharePoint list with 20 fields/columns? You end up with an endless form with what could be called a large pile of fields, lacking any logical grouping/categorization. No More!
SharePoint List Forms Extensions feature enables division of list fields into logical groups/sections displayed in different tabs.

 

View Level Permissions

Yes... you can also define list views access permissions:
