Hi,

Today we are announcing an exciting new feature that can help you drastically reduce the amount of time it takes to create new SharePoint lists and forms in Ultimate Forms. By leveraging a state-of-the-art AI engine, you create a new list/form combination by simply describing your requirements in simple human language. You are then presented with a list of suggested columns matching your requirements. You can then optionally perform additional adjustments, and afterwards, your list/form are generated automatically in just a few seconds.

Our goal was to create a tool that saves you valuable time by listing and then generating a large number of relevant columns automatically. Additionally, we help you leverage unique Ultimate Forms features not avaiable in regular SharePoint forms:

  • Repeating sections
  • Summary columns
  • Column permissions
  • Advanced validation rules
  • Dynamic rules and default value rules
  • Advanced modern forms

Let's create a new list together, so you can see how easy and straightforward the process is, while still allowing quick access to more advanced features, whenever required.

  1. Open Ultimate Forms by clicking on Design button on any list.
  2. Click on Generate with AI in the main toolbar
  3. Enter your list description and provide the number of desired columns. Tip: in most cases, it would be easier to request a larger number of columns and delete unnecessary ones afterwards.
  4. Click on Submit, after just a few seconds a list a suggested columns is presented.

    NOTE: the list of column is generated by AI and will most likely be different each time. For best results, it is advisable to provide the most detailed description possible. You can also click on Try again to adjust your description and re-generate the column list.
  5. For simpler lists, you might just accept the suggestions and go straight to the next stage, the actual creation of the list/form. In our case, as our form is quite complex, we will require some adjustments.
  6. First, let's promote some columns into a repeating section. First select the required colums, then click on Create repeating section.
  7. Next, let's add a new column to our repeating section to calculate the line total. I'm adding a new column of type Currency.
  8. Click on the gear button to open Advanced settings panel. Here we will add a calculation rule to automatically generate the column value. Line total is the multiplication of Unit price and Quantity. When Calculated value is entered, the column will be automatically set to read-only.
  9. Add the new column. Next we want to create a Subtotal column, of type Summary, that will automatically summarize the line totals of the repeating section. 
  10. Next, click on Advanced settings to specify which columns you want to summarize and how.
  11. Add the column and then drag it upwards, above the tax-related columns.
  12. Now, let's add a calculation formula for the Tax amount column, which will be the Subtotal multiplied by the Tax rate.
  13. And now let's set a formula for the Total, which is Subtotal plus the Tax amount.
  14. We can also optionally set specific column permissions, validations and dynamic rules. For example, we can add a validation rule for Customer email column to ensure the value entered is a valid email address.
  15. At this point, we are happy with the form and can click on the Create button.
  16. The process will take a few seconds after which the following screen is displayed.
  17. Here you can open the new form for data entry.

    Note how the calculated values are automatically generated.
  18. You can also click on Design to open the form configuration in Form Designer to tweak it even further.
  19. And we are done!

 

As you can see, the process is simple, yet extremely powerful. It minimizes the repetitive manual steps of columns creation and configuration, helping you generate advanced forms in just a few minutes!

I invite you to give it a try and see how much more productive you can become!
