Formotus Resources
There are a few unique things about using InfoPath with the Formotus platform. Start with these resources to get an overview:
- Visit our training page to watch instructive videos.
- Read our blog post about things to do and not to do in InfoPath.
- Follow our InfoPath Tips and Tricks on our blog.
- Use our InfoPath Starter Form to get a head start on creating your own mobile forms.
Microsoft Resources
- Microsoft resources page on InfoPath 2010 and 2013
- Introduction to form design - but disregard "Select a Template" and "Select the Visual Layout" sections. Always choose the template Blank Form (InfoPath Filler) and don't rely on custom page or table layouts and themes because they are not optimized for mobile.
- Working with views - Views are used in special ways by Formotus, so get to know them.
- Data connections overview - email and SharePoint are the most common
- Introduction to controls - make sure you understand the difference between controls and fields
Training Videos
