Migrating Infopath Forms to Microsoft 365 Power Apps

Migrating Infopath Forms to Microsoft 365 Power Apps
In preparation for what will ultimately become an unsupported platform, thoughts of “what to do next?” will be a prevailing theme for consumers of Microsoft InfoPath forms. To this effect, SharePoint 2019, though InfoPath is included, it is considered a deprecated feature by Microsoft.
The main difference between a deprecated feature and a removed feature is that Microsoft no longer continue investing in this feature and users are, in essence, discouraged from widespread utilization, as sustained backward compatibility will become an issue.
- Completed forms - What to do with the existing repository of completed forms
- Template itself - What to do going forward if InfoPath use is to continue
- We have a set of old forms (completed docs) but the form itself is no longer in use
- We are still using some InfoPath forms but about to end use of these forms
- We have a set of completed forms and need to continue to use this form in the future
- We need new forms and need to create something very soon
Of the scenarios above, option 4 would not include InfoPath per Microsoft’s product recommendation. Creation of new forms should be created in PowerApps, though there are still inherent issues/limitations. The real issue, however, centers on scenarios 1-3. This whitepaper aims to give some perspective on how to potentially address the complications of the migration from InfoPath to Power Apps. There are options and processes in place that can create positive outcomes for organizations looking to get a jump on migrating away from InfoPath to Microsoft 365 Power Apps Platform.
