→‎Dynamic Forms vs Microsoft Forms – Which one should I choose?

=MCLA Supported Form Platforms=

~~==Description==~~If your department is looking to create a form to collect information, its helpful to understand which MCLA supported options are available to you. This brief description will help to illustrate what those supported options are and can be used as a guide to help find the right platform to suit your needs.

~~The Tech Help Desk~~ =='''Microsoft Forms through Office 365'''==Microsoft Forms is now available through Office 365. This option enables users to create and distribute their own forms using their own accounts. Designing a form with Microsoft Forms is very simple but has limited options. Distribution is restricted to internal users only. Since the forms and collected data from that form is ~~located~~ stored on individual accounts, the ~~first floor~~ retention of ~~Murdock Hall, provides technical support for the campus community. In addition, it~~ that information is also limited. This option would be recommended for short one-time surveys or polls but should not be used as a ~~full service repair center for all Dell laptops~~ departmental form that ~~were purchased through [http~~requires long term availability. For an overview on how to use Microsoft Forms, please visit https://~~www~~support.~~mcla~~office.~~edu~~com/~~laptop MCLA's Laptop Initiative] program. It is always the first point of effective contact for students, faculty, and staff experiencing technical issues or with any computer~~en-~~related questions. The HelpDesk also provides the support and maintenance for the Murdock [[Academic Computing Labs - Murdock Hall|Academic Computing Lab]].~~us/forms

==~~Contacting the Tech HelpDesk~~'''Event Sign Ups through Microsoft Teams'''==If your organizing an event and would like attendees to sign up and reserve their seat, you may consider looking at creating a Microsoft Teams event with the attendee registration. This feature uses both MS Teams and Forms together so you can customize a registration form so you can gather whatever information in need from an attendee in advance. For information on how to setup a Teams meeting with attendee registration, please visit Schedule a meeting with registration in Microsoft Teams - Microsoft SupportDynamic FormsMCLA has adopted Dynamic Forms as its official paperless workflow solution. Dynamic Forms is a fully hosted, powerful web application which also allows non-technical users to take any paper-based form and quickly build a sophisticated interactive form that can be published to the internet. Dynamic Forms provides single and multiple electronic signature functionality along with a basic workflow feature to enable document processing.

If your need has a more official nature to it where it’s part of a ‘business process’ its important to consider Dynamic Forms. The form is stored in a dynamic forms ‘organization’ that can be administered centrally. We also have a toolset that enables data to be captured and automatically stored in a Banner record. DF is really good for forms that require a workflow, custom email notifications, and/or digital signatures (internal and external users). IT will also help with the form design where you can submit your design via this [https://nextgensso.com/sp/startSSO.ping?PartnerIdpId=http://sts.mcla.edu/adfs/services/trust&TargetResource=https%3a%2f%2fdynamicforms.ngwebsolutions.com%2fSubmit%2fStart%2f7a3655a7-c008-43a5-9761-4fc0fbef045d form]:
