SharePoint List Forms Extensions Feature

Overview

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

Need web form capabilities?

Now you can have what you need, in SharePoint!

You no longer need to purchase additional Forms solutions, no need to purchase forms applications or custom develop them. With a little help from KWizCom you can enjoy real forms functionality using WSS/MOSS!

 KWizCom's SharePoint List Forms Extensions Feature bridges the gap between the SharePoint list forms you are familiar with (New/Edit/View forms) and standard form features, enhancing the current SharePoint form features with the missing features of the classical web form.

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:

List Forms Extensions : Field-Level Premissions: Tasks

 

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:

KWizCom SharePoint List Forms Extensions: The Due Date field is made to be not available for editing for certain users - the user cannot change his assigned task's Due Date field.

 

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

KWizCom SharePoint List Forms Extensions: The Due Date field is made to be editable only when the manager edits the task.

 

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!

KWizCom SharePoint List Forms Extensions: Create field-based criteria for applying the show/hide/disable field rules.

 

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!

KWizCom SharePoint List Forms Extensions: Example of how the Field-Level Constraints page may be used to set up conditions and input validation for different types of fields, including number, date and e-mail address fields.


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!

KWizCom SharePoint List Forms Extensions: The Default Values page allows you to specify default values for fields based on a user or a group.

 

 

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.

KWizCom SharePoint List Forms Extensions: Example of how to use Field Grouping to divide task fields into those you fill when you create a new task and those you change when you edit a task.
KWizCom SharePoint List Forms Extensions: The tab selection in the Task Item page, allowing you to switch between field groups defined in the Field Grouping page.

 

View Level Permissions

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

 

KWizCom SharePoint List Forms Extensions: Example of how to use the View-Level Permissions page to change list view rules and to define the message displayed to unauthorized users. The list view rules show a permission type of 'hidden' for everyone, except for a single user for which the permission is set to 'show'.

 

KWizCom SharePoint List Forms Extensions: Demonstrating how a view is not shown to users lacking appropriate permissions.
KWizCom SharePoint List Forms Extensions: Demonstrating a configurable error page displayed to unauthorized users try to directly browse the view page.

Navigation

Now you can also easily browse through list items by allowing the display of the navigation links on the ‘view item’ form:
