This installment  features the SharePoint ShopTalk Panelist Spotlight - Tips and Tricks with SharePoint MVP Laura Rogers:

In your organization, forms are everywhere.  InfoPath is a program that lets you quickly and easily create forms for business users to fill out and submit.  InfoPath forms and SharePoint Designer workflows can be used in conjunction, in order to create a complete business process. In this session, Laura Rogers will discuss and compare different ways that forms can be submitted and streamlined, so that the life cycle of the form is efficient and logical.  This includes best practices around the form's data connections, buttons, rules, views, and workflow that sends the form through an approval process. All of this is done with no code needed, just making the most of the InfoPath and SharePoint Designer out-of-box functionalities.
