Starting Your Project
The first thing to do before you even open Lightning Forms is to get clear on the form that you are designing, and to create the list or lists that will be part of your solution. Lightning Forms is a tool that helps you to design your SharePoint List Form. The List has to exist first. So, below you will find some steps to help you with the list creation. If you are clear on that, jump to the next section “Launching the Design Experience” where you can begin customizing!
- How to create a SharePoint List (If you haven’t already) Create a list (microsoft.com)
- Decide if you need more than one list! For example, you may want a Customer Orders list embedded on the Customer Form. We cover how to do that in the “Arrange your form layout” series.
- Decide how your form will look. Envision your form! Once you are done with that, let’s get learning our way across Lightning Forms. If you are struggling with envisioning your form, reach out to us! We love helping remember! https://lightningtools.com/support-ticket
