Microsoft Forms updates March 2019.
Email Confirmation Receipt
Survey designers now have the option to allow respondents to receive an automatic email receipt with a copy of their responses right after submission. This will largely help to reduce the post-survey communication cost for form designers.
Deeper Forms Integration with Office Apps
Microsoft Forms, integrated with various Office apps, allows users to use Forms in places from which they are familiar. Users can now create a new form, find an existing form, or search for a form in the suite header of office.com.
Додатково, Formsnow providesa betterexperience withtheTeams bot.
With the new bot experience in Teams, a user can create a Quick Poll directly in a new thread. This ensures everyone in the channel can see the poll, which won’t collapse even after it gets a few replies.
We also added full-width symbol support for the Forms app, which means customers of full-width symbol languages, such as Chinese, no longer have to switch back and forth from English for input. Users can type a question and options in the format, “[Your question]? Option 1, Option 2,” using any language.
NewCapabilities forIT Admins
Forms have improved their experience of ownership transfer for disabled or unlicensed users. An admin can now transfer ownership to an employee whose account has been disabled or who left the organization (no longer than 30 днів).
Tenant admins can now control whether people in their organization can add an image via Bing search in Forms.An on/off toggle in O365 admin portalhas been addedfor admins доenforce the restriction as needed.
