FormsViewer: The Future of Forms, an InfoPath Alternative

Microsoft shipped the last version of InfoPath in SharePoint 2016 and Office Online has discontinued the feature. Qdabra’s FormsViewer is the only app that preserves and extends your existing InfoPath investment.

Why FormsViewer?

• Migrate your forms in place, i.e. “as is” – no change to templates or data (you can keep InfoPath as an edit option)
• Enter data more quickly, forms run faster in the browser because we’ve removed the “sending data to server” for form logic
• Speed up your design process, no more “Publish” required; just drag and drop your templates to SharePoint for rapid testing and deployment
• Add missing functionality – we’ve included the most popular qRules extensions without requiring the sandbox code service (nor qRules)
• Reduces SharePoint license fees – works with SharePoint Foundation and supports external user access for O365 sites
• Protect your process from sudden InfoPath changes – FormsViewer installs side-by-side alongside InfoPath so you can use both options until InfoPath breaks
• Responsive Mobile Design - make existing forms look great on mobile devices
• Available now - take control of your form's future; Qdabra has your back

What is FormsViewer?

• Provider-hosted SharePoint app – follows best practice design for SharePoint
• Public Azure service - Qdabra Form Services (QFS) is hosted on Microsoft Azure
• Scalable - QFS is a multi-region, load-balanced and highly available service
• Secure - QFS does not store form data; only template files (XSNs) for performance caching are stored on the server
• Maintained - Qdabra updates QFS once per quarter to bring you the latest improvements and features
• No client-side install required - add the FormsViewer app to your site and enable your existing form libraries and Web parts
• On-Premise versions available - contact us

Future-proof your Forms - End the InfoPath Uncertainty

• Insurance - FormsViewer protects your form if InfoPath suddenly breaks
• Zero Impact - FormsViewer installs alongside InfoPath and you can continue using both; no impact to existing process
• Save SharePoint Licensing Fees - FormsViewer provides external access to your forms on Office Online and even works with SharePoint Foundation
• Full Kaizen - Qdabra continually improves FormsViewer with quarterly releases

Get Started
