Submit Forms to SharePoint Document Libraries
Formotus now offers an alternative to InfoPath for creating forms that submit to SharePoint libraries.
If you’re familiar with submitting InfoPath forms to SharePoint libraries as XML files and promoting form fields as library columns, then you’ll feel right at home with Formotus forms.
Formotus has always supported using InfoPath to create mobile forms with data connections to SharePoint lists and document libraries. Now we’re introducing similar online capabilities creating SharePoint forms without InfoPath.
