=='''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 stored on individual accounts, the retention of that information is also limited. This option would be recommended for short one-time surveys or polls but should not be used as a departmental form that requires long term availability. For an overview on how to use Microsoft Forms, please visit https://support.office.com/en-us/forms

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.
