This is my review of microsoft forms builder used as a home inspection software.
As a home inspector, I was trying to use Microsoft forms builder as a gathering information tool through surveys as it is an essential part of understanding the needs and preferences of customers and employees, as well as property investors and homeowners.
There is evidence that customer satisfaction surveys increase customer engagement by differentiating your brand and showing that you care about yourself. Similarly, employee surveys are essential to measuring internal engagement within organizations. This underscores the need for robust tools that effectively report survey/survey responses in a measurable way so that results can facilitate decision-making. That's where MS Forms comes in. With an easy-to-use interface, Forms lets you create short surveys or develop surveys for free as part of the Office 365 suite of applications. While there are other third-party alternatives, such as SurveyMonkey, that have survey and query capabilities, Forms is free under the Office 365 subscription.
The advantage of Forms is that it offers more seamless integration with other Microsoft applications. In the past, Microsoft had InfoPath, which had the same goal but was more complex to design and start.
One of the features of Forms to note is Dynamic Customer Voice 365. It's a business feedback management application built into Forms that allows easy tracking of customer measurements by introducing real-time survey data into customer records. It comes with project management capabilities that allow you to gather multiple surveys with similar metrics to simplify analysis, so you can understand how customers see your services. Important: You'll need a paid license to access Dynamic 365 Customer Voice, but it's available for a free 30-day trial.
From a management perspective, Forms enables business leaders to understand the needs and productivity of employees quickly and effectively. For example, ITW's management team used forms to check with employees during the pandemic. It has been invaluable in providing information and measures on productivity, well-being and assessing employees' remote work needs (e.g., need for office equipment and stationery). This form builder allows any device to connect and contribute to a continuous live survey, with results dynamically visible on the backend, so employees can respond to surveys at a company-wide virtual meeting. The management team can then visualize these responses as they arrive and respond live, creating a more conversational feeling, even in a remote environment.
Engaged employees are 27% more likely to report "excellent" performance. (Source: Gallup) Microsoft Planner Productivity monitoring and task management are an integral part of inter-team organizational alignment; there is evidence that a work environment where employees feel connected when working on projects increases engagement and productivity. Microsoft Planner is a comprehensive task and work management solution that allows teams to stay connected throughout a project, manage their time and organize. The planner allows you to set up due date notifications so that team members receive reminders about the due date, which maintains connectivity and increases responsibility for tasks. In addition, one of the planner's new features allows you to announce tasks in Teams so users can discuss them in the Team channel.
Other apps I have reviewed like Monday.com or Smartsheet</a" may provide similar features, but being part of the Microsoft 365 suite, Planner can easily be integrated with other applications on the platform. And of course, the value you get from a free app in Planner far exceeds the cost of payment for any third-party application.
All in all, personally, I think I have wasted enough time on non specialized form builders until I stumbled upon nSpek. It truly changes the game of home inspections for a... home inspector :D

When you use the word ‘form’ in a Microsoft context, readers including myself may assume you are talking about Microsoft forms on https://forms.office.com. Source: 11 months ago
Make a Microsoft Forms that they have to fill out. Set it to email you when it's completed. Tell people that they have to fill it out properly or they can't have access to anything. The last thing they had before I got here was on PAPER... ISYN. Source: about 1 year ago
You can get to forms.office.com but when you open any form to edit it just constantly refreshes and then kicks you back to a login screen. Source: about 1 year ago
Or just use Microsoft Forms, available at https://forms.office.com. Source: about 1 year ago
Could you send out a forms link and then collate the data? Source: about 1 year ago
If you have MS Office Suite for work, use the MS form solution, you're likely paying for it! - https://forms.office.com/. Source: about 1 year ago
These are two different places, the latest features are only deployed on the forms.office.com site (like forms templates or pdf/word import). English is not my native language so I thought that when this feature would be deployed (and it is) https://www.microsoft.com/en-ww/microsoft-365/roadmap?filters=&searchterms=88946 the Forms icon on the office.com portal would redirect to forms.office.com , but this is...

Are you looking to create a form? Because you can just use Microsoft Forms for that. Source: about 2 years ago
I've gotten a few reports over the past few minutes of web pages being blocked for category not-resolved, but these are big name URLs that most definitely do have categories (I just verified at https://urlfiltering.paloaltonetworks.com/query/). Some examples were forms.office.com or docs.google.com. Source: about 2 years ago
As for licenses, my account (the Global Admin) has O365 and Power Automate which should do the trick, I do not see a specific license for MS Forms, but given that I can create new forms on the forms.office.com website, I think that I have sufficient privileges. I also created a new form directly from the forms website and then added it as a tab, which works just fine. Source: over 2 years ago
Now that I have the temperature value stored in a const, what would be a good way for me to fill out this form and submit it using javascript? All I have is the forms.office.com url where the 5 question form resides. Any tools I should use in particular? Thank you. Source: over 2 years ago
You should be able to build this form in either Forms (forms.office.com) or PowerApps (make.powerapps.com). The iteration aspect of your form can be accomplished using the bridging function built into Forms. Alternatively, PowerApps allows you to build a direct list edit Form, but the level of effort to make it work is higher. Source: over 2 years ago
Its a generic Microsoft Forms system. Anybody can create one that looks EXACTLY like this. MS Forms dumps the input results into an Excel file (not an encrypted database). I'm not saying this one isn't legit but its pretty fishy and I'd be very careful about the info I entered. http://forms.office.com/. Source: about 3 years ago
This sounds like something Forms can handle. Source: about 3 years ago
