Product Description
Microsoft InfoPath 2010 Retail Full Version
is a forms-creation and data-gathering tool that helps organizations
streamline business processes. InfoPath 2010 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 2010 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 2010, Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010, and SharePoint Designer 2010—using little or no code.
Product Features
Design faster with the Ribbon interface - Instead of traditional menus
and toolbars that might require several steps to complete a task, the
Ribbon displays the commands in a tab structure, organized by tasks that
are related to a certain activity, so you can create the forms you want
faster.
Publish forms with one click - Click an icon on the Ribbon Quick Access
toolbar to publish your form, or use the Microsoft Office Backstage
view. Backstage view gives you a single point of reference for
information that is essential to the task you are performing, such as
publishing.
Create forms for SharePoint lists - With InfoPath 2010, you can create
attractive forms with a click of a button based on SharePoint regular or
external lists. If you have data in SharePoint lists, you can quickly
and automatically generate a form with all of the SharePoint list
fields, and then customize it, reducing the time to create a form.
Provide offline form completion with Microsoft SharePoint Workspace
2010, formerly known as Microsoft Office Groove 2007 - People can fill
out forms online or offline with a native integration of forms with data
(stored in regular or external SharePoint lists) in the Office
SharePoint Workspace interface.
Enjoy richer Web forms - Many controls and functionality previously
available in the InfoPath client application, such as combo boxes,
filtering, and date and time controls, are available now in InfoPath
2010 browser forms. These can be used in Internet Explorer, Firefox, and
Safari.
