Do you want to customize modern SharePoint forms and still open them in the list view? As you most likely know, default forms in modern SharePoint UI open in a panel. So, it looks like this:

It’s not looking bad, but unfortunately it’s not very customizable. And if you have a complex form with lots of fields, it does get cumbersome. More importantly for some, it’s very hard to add custom logic to it. But we’ve found a solution for you.

In the v.1.1.5 our Forms product has received a new functionality — an ability to open its custom and responsive forms in a panel, right in the List view. Not only that, but all the original functionality is preserved — including automatic routing, our custom JavaScript API and all the other options, including containers such as Tabs or Accordion.

Here’s what it looks like in SharePoint:

Now, configuration is very easy, it’s all done in just a couple of steps. You can also choose what size does the panel take. Find out more by reading the description on our site.
