Editor's Notes

  • #4 Will IF10 work with SP2007. Sure will do, if you still want to write code for functionality that should be available out of the box! If you don’t care about connecting your SharePoint List with your IF, and rather your IF look like IF… well then why even bother with IFT10 in that case. 
  • #7 Visual UpgradeOk, I don’t infere visual upgrade as in SharePoint 2007 migrated to SP2010. I mean the ribbon has arrived in IFT10!We can now have real picture buttons / tabs in IF2010! Secondly we now have Designer and Filler … SharePoint 2010 list or InfoPath 2010 – how does it matter?Matters! Exactly! Why? Well for starters, we will see how much time it takes for us to convert a SPT10 list into an InfoPath Form. Oh how about creating a SPT10 List from IFT10 DesignerWait, we will see how you can manage lists from IFT10!So that is three ways SP/IF work in tandem, so it doesn’t really matter 
  • #8 SharePoint 2010 list or InfoPath 2010 – how does it matter? – Now you can covert a SP List to IF. Wow! That’s is amazing! Creating IF with customizations without code, publishing all in matter of minutes! Create one from the other! – Create SP list from IF, Create IF from SP List, Create SP Columns from IF + Manage from IF… Ideal for online and offline scenarios – A lot of shortcomings with IF7 and browser based forms taken care of as we will see in the demos. Best of it, you can take your IF Offline! Whoa!Efficient and Effective – Quick Publish, Copy Rules, Layouts, Picture Buttons ….
