Been playing with both Lists and Forms this last two weeks to create a Helpdesk App in a corporate environment for internal "customers" and I am surprised to see I can't customise the graphics anymore to include corporate logos and colours like I used to be able to? On what you are saying - I agree the section 08:38 onwards - I'm personally debating which is the best approach - creating a central list file and then adding a form to that makes a better form and one that I can have specific columns included and then have a separate "form" for the Helpdesk admin with its own fields from that one List. I tried making a Power App originally but due to the limitation of our environment - I can't "see" or change the backend list. Frustrating - Microsoft Apps can be so near and yet so far from really REALLY useful at times.
Either option could capture data for a simple helpdesk application, however there are also lots of off the shelf options out there for this sort of application. Sometimes when the requirements exceed the basic tools it's a good indicator that it's time to step up to a more specialized product and the time cost of trying to manipulate unsuitable tools into doing what is needed ends up being greater than just buying a product where it's already built. This is an important considering when building anything either with Lists forms or with Microsoft Forms (and even Power Apps).
Hi Nick; enjoying your videos. This video seems to have the sound of a "mechanical clock" ticking (or chewing sound), off to one side of your desk (mic channel) and gets a bit more & more distracting after moving through the video. Just FYI. Again, nice videos and I enjoy your precise reviews and specifics on the various bullet points for the apps that you're discussing. Keep up the great work and inciteful topics.
The thoughts around 7:00 where you’re talking about the value of a file being added to the form generation is solid.
Thanks for your feedback

@@brightideasagency thank you so much for the explanation!
Shame there's no Copilot option in Copilot in forms in lists!
Yes, the disparity between the two experiences is a little confusing. Hopefully it'll come and be more unified.
Enjoyed your videos.. Starting to do a fair few with Copilot now too..

Thanks for watching. Not sure what that was you were hearing, but thanks for the feedback
Long winded
Thanks for your engagement.
