What is Lightning Tools Form Migrator?
The SharePoint Form Migrator is offered through a strategic partnership with Kudzu. Using a specific version of the Kudzu Form Migrator, Lightning Tools offers a form migrator that generates modern SharePoint List Forms within SharePoint Online and SharePoint On-Premises from legacy forms such as InfoPath, Excel, PDF, Word, and Images. Kudzu can read the legacy form design, and generate modern SharePoint Lists with the customized form with the original layout and business logic.
The first step with the Kudzu form migrator, is to upload the form to convert. Kudzu will read the layout, style, elements, schema, rules, images, and data. The Kudzu Reader will read the the form design, and provide a preview of the form for perusal. The Reader will also analyze the predicted success rate of migrating the form. Once ready to convert to a Lightning Forms SharePoint List Form, the user can continue to the Lightning Forms writer.
Once the legacy form has been uploaded, the legacy form design can be previewed. Previewing the legacy form design provides the confidence that the layout, style, elements, images, and schema have been read successfully, whether it is a PDF, InfoPath, Word, Image, or Excel form.
When creating SharePoint lists, a connection is created to the SharePoint Online or SharePoint On-Premises site that will be used to publish the SharePoint lists to. Options are available to specify where to store images such as logos from the legacy form, along with an overwrite list option. Then, lists will be generated along with the custom form design.
Once the lists and forms have been published to Modern SharePoint Lists, and custom list forms using Lightning Forms, form design can be further customized.
