Lightning Tools Forms Studio is an advanced solution designed to elevate SharePoint list-based solutions by transforming simple lists into dynamic forms with built-in automation, triggered actions, and scheduled actions. It builds upon the capabilities of Lightning Forms, Lightning List Actions, and Document Generator, offering further enhancements for a seamless SharePoint experience. Ideal for organizations leveraging SharePoint lists for data management, Forms Studio enables users to build, package, and deploy sophisticated form solutions across SharePoint sites seamlessly within their Microsoft 365 tenant, ensuring all data remains secure and under full control. The studio incorporates Lightning Forms as its core design engine, providing an intuitive, centralized environment for designing and refining forms at the user's own pace. This setup allows for easy switching between different forms and views, streamlining the design process. Once perfected, forms can be published to SharePoint sites with complete control over timing and flow. Beyond design, Forms Studio integrates powerful automation features, including Lightning Tools Actions, Triggered Actions, and Scheduled Actions, allowing for effortless task and workflow automation based on user interactions, list item events, or specified intervals. Furthermore, Lightning Tools Forms Studio offers an extensive selection of actions, such as the Document Generator for automatically creating PDFs and Word documents from form data, permission and sharing management, and QR code generation. It also allows for the creation of custom pages with visualizations and insights using the Lightning Tools Data Viewer, and the inclusion of additional artifacts like images. The entire solution, including forms, pages, and supporting artifacts, can be packaged as a SharePoint Framework (SPFx) Package with customizable details and deployed directly to any SharePoint site within the Microsoft 365 environment, ensuring consistent functionality and controlled distribution across the organization.
