SharePoint form designer for better business processes
Create responsive, no-code SharePoint forms with intelligent layouts, conditional logic, validation and automation—without the complexity of rebuilding every process in Power Apps.
Turn standard SharePoint list forms into guided experiences
Lightning Forms helps site owners and business teams capture better data, reduce mistakes and move work forward with forms that respond to each user and each stage of a process.
No-code layout and styling
Arrange fields into clear, responsive layouts and apply your organisation’s styling without writing custom code.
Logic users can trust
Show the right questions, calculate values and validate entries so people can complete forms correctly first time.
Actions that keep work moving
Trigger emails, update items and connect form submissions to the next step in your SharePoint process.
Design SharePoint forms around the way people work
Replace long, one-column list forms with structured sections, tabs and columns that are easier to scan on desktop, tablet and mobile.
- Drag-and-drop fields into practical layouts
- Group related information into sections and tabs
- Keep the native SharePoint experience your users already know
Make every form respond intelligently
Use the visual Expression Builder to create dynamic forms that react to data, the current user and the state of your process.
- Show or hide fields based on previous answers
- Build calculations and populate values automatically
- Apply validation rules before data reaches your list
Move from data capture to action
Turn form events into useful next steps. The Action Builder lets business teams automate routine work from the same no-code experience.
- Send targeted email notifications
- Create or update SharePoint list items
- Call web services and extend processes with Lightning Tools Actions
Make every SharePoint form feel like yours
Apply colours, typography and field-level presentation so forms are clear, accessible and consistent with the rest of your intranet.
- Style forms without custom CSS
- Highlight guidance, warnings and required information
- Deliver a consistent experience across teams and sites
Give users the context they need
Help people make better decisions inside the form by surfacing related SharePoint and business data at the point of entry.
- Filter lookup choices and display related records
- Reduce duplicate entry by reusing trusted data
- Connect forms to broader Microsoft 365 business processes
Build business-friendly forms without Power Apps complexity
Use Lightning Forms wherever a SharePoint list needs a clearer, smarter front end—from simple data capture to governed, multi-stage processes.
Requests and approvals
Guide employees through service requests, access requests, purchase approvals and policy exceptions.
Operations and compliance
Standardise inspections, incident reports, onboarding checklists and regulated data capture.
Customer and project work
Create consistent project intake, account updates, case management and structured feedback forms.
Keep forms close to your data and your users
Lightning Forms extends modern SharePoint list forms instead of forcing teams to recreate straightforward processes in a separate app platform. That means faster delivery, simpler ownership and familiar permissions.
- No-code design for site owners and business teams

- Migration support for legacy InfoPath and Nintex forms with our Form Migrator

Lightning Forms questions, answered
What is Lightning Forms?
Lightning Forms is a no-code SharePoint form designer for customising modern SharePoint list forms. It lets you create responsive layouts, apply conditional logic and validation, style the experience and automate actions.
Can I use Lightning Forms without writing code?
Yes. Layouts, expressions, rules, styling and actions are configured through visual designers. Advanced teams can still connect Lightning Forms to wider services and processes when needed.
Which SharePoint versions are supported?
Lightning Forms supports SharePoint Online, SharePoint Server 2019 and SharePoint Server Subscription Edition.
How is Lightning Forms different from Power Apps?
Lightning Forms is purpose-built to extend SharePoint list forms. It is often faster to deploy and easier for SharePoint owners to maintain when the process should remain SharePoint-native. Power Apps is a broader application platform and may suit highly custom, cross-platform applications.
What automation can I build?
You can send notifications, update or create SharePoint items and trigger connected actions from form events. Lightning Tools Actions extends this further for broader process automation.
Can I reuse form designs across sites?
Yes. Form configurations can be reused so teams can standardise layouts, rules and styling across multiple SharePoint sites and lists.
How is Lightning Forms different from Forms Studio?
Lightning Forms enhances forms attached to SharePoint lists. Forms Studio is designed for richer, purpose-built form applications and more advanced data-driven experiences.
Can Lightning Tools help us migrate from InfoPath or Nintex Forms?
Yes. Our Form Migrator helps assess and migrate legacy InfoPath and Nintex forms into modern solutions, including Lightning Forms and Power Apps.
