- Faster interface
- Quick and easy publishing of forms
- Enhanced web forms
Faster interface
Earlier, it took a much longer time to complete a single task. However, with the new Ribbon interface in Microsoft InfoPath 2010, the time required to complete a task has gone down considerably. With the new Ribbon interface, commands are displayed in a tab structure, with related tasks and activities placed in an organized manner. With this much organized interface, it is easier for the users to create forms.
Quick and easy publishing of forms
Microsoft® InfoPath® 2010 not only reduces the time to complete a task in comparison to other traditional menus and toolbars, but it also enables the users to publish the forms which they have created in a faster and efficient manner. The users have to click an icon on the ‘Ribbon Quick Access’ toolbar to publish their forms, or they can also alternatively use the Microsoft Office Backstage view. The function provides the users with a single point to access information or tasks that they need to perform.
Enhanced web forms
Microsoft® InfoPath® 2010 also provides its users with a number of controls and functions which were made available in the InfoPath® client application, like time controls, date controls, combo boxes, and filtering. Microsoft® has made available all these features and tools in the Microsoft® InfoPath® 2010 browser form as well, thus enabling the users to use them with Internet Explorer®, Mozilla Firefox®, and Safari®.
