Microsoft Forms: A Simple Alternative to NextGen Dynamic Forms
To make creating and sharing forms easier and more accessible, we encourage employees to consider Microsoft Forms for simple data collection needs as an alternative to NextGen Dynamic Forms.
Microsoft Forms provides a fast, user-friendly way to create surveys, requests, registrations, feedback forms, questionnaires, and other basic forms without requiring IT assistance or custom development.
Why Use Microsoft Forms?
✅ Easy to Create
Microsoft Forms features an intuitive interface that allows anyone to build a form in minutes. No specialized technical knowledge or form-building experience is required.
✅ No IT Support Needed
For most straightforward business needs, users can create, publish, and manage their own forms without submitting requests to IT. This reduces turnaround times and enables departments to respond more quickly to their needs.
✅ Flexible and Versatile
Microsoft Forms supports a variety of use cases, including:
- Event registrations
- Employee surveys
- Training evaluations
- Service requests
- Information gathering
- Polls and feedback collection
- Sign-up forms
✅ Built into Microsoft 365
As part of Microsoft 365, Microsoft Forms integrates seamlessly with Teams, Outlook, SharePoint, and Excel, making it easy to share forms and manage responses.
✅ Real-Time Results
Responses are collected automatically and displayed through built-in analytics and charts. Data can also be exported to Excel for additional reporting and analysis.
When Should I Use Microsoft Forms?
Microsoft Forms is an excellent choice when you need a simple form that:
- Does not require complex workflows or advanced business logic
- Needs to be created quickly
- Can be managed directly by your department
