How To Series
In this series, we cover what exactly the Sintel Apps platform is and how you can use it to deliver forms and apps for your users. Each clip focuses on a specific set of features within Sintel Apps or Sintel BI.
1 Creating the Sintel Apps and Sintel BI pages
Learn how to add the Sintel Apps and Sintel BI full-page apps to your SharePoint site in a few minutes.
2 Designing the form layout
Design the form for an Employee Onboarding app: sections with icons, one to four columns, merged sections, tabs, choice options in columns, and tooltips.
3 Logic: show, hide and require fields
Hide a tab for remote employees and make a field required once the contract is signed. Steps are undone automatically when the conditions are no longer met.
4 Workflow: statuses and actions
Add an approval workflow: statuses with colours, actions with target statuses, manager-only actions, and a Buttons section with all workflow actions.
5 Logic and workflow together
Sections and tabs hidden by default, shown at the right workflow stage, and locked read-only once their stage is done.
6 Asking for data in actions
Ask for data right when a workflow action runs: a confirmation popup on Submit, and Ask for field values on Approve.
7 E-mail notifications
Send an e-mail to the manager when an item reaches a workflow status: recipient from a person field, subject and message with field tokens, and a link to the form.
8 Lookups and related lists
Connect a form to other lists: a lookup field to a list of offices, and a related list of onboarding tasks edited right inside the form.
9 External access
Share one specific form with a person outside your organization, without granting them any access to your tenant, and see them verify with a one-time code and submit.
