This 1-day course teaches the advanced features and
functions of InfoPath 2013. Students will learn about
the forms-creation and data-gathering tool that helps
organizations streamline business processes. InfoPath
2013 is designed for both advanced business users and
developers, depending on the type of forms-based
solution an organization needs. Without writing code,
advanced business users can use InfoPath 2013 to design
sophisticated electronic forms to quickly and
cost-effectively gather information. Developers can
create advanced forms for departmental and enterprise
business processes, including composite applications and
workflow sequences, with InfoPath 2013, Microsoft
SharePoint Server 2013, and SharePoint Designer
2013—using little or no code.
