    • Custom Variables in MS Forms

      4 years ago – Dynamics 365 Customer Voice – New 

      I would greatly appreciate the ability to put variables in headers and/or questions. Some applications I want to use this for: When using Forms as a checkout system, the variable can be fed from Power Automate to give the current status of the number of licenses/items available. When using Forms to trigger Power Automate for filling out Word templates, have the ability to have "dynamic" questions based on the results of a responder's choices or their profile/position in the company. The sky's the limit here, please help me reach it. Thanks!
    • Populate variables without tying the values to contacts

      3 years ago – Dynamics 365 Customer Voice – New 

      I would like to be able to create variables that don't have to be tied to a contact list and have variables in answers.

      Instead, I would like it to be able to tie to a spreadsheet on SharePoint or similar.

      An example usage is that a person may be working on multiple projects and we use Forms to process project-related requests. Based on the user's signed-in credentials, a variable of relevant projects could populate a drop down list.

      Similarly, simply having the ability to choose an answer that's populated based on a previous answer. For example, once a person selects a project number, the question of what services one is requesting will be relevant to the project type.

      Basically, instead of tying variables to a contact list, I'd like the ability for variables to be tied to a custom database/spreadsheet.

      I started off on this journey creating Forms and desired the ability to add variables but now that I've gone through the effort of finding "Forms Pro/Dynamics 365 Voice" I'm disappointed at the narrow focus on the use of variables.
