Greetings,
I’m pretty new to SharePoint but very excited to learn as much as I can about the platform.
I’m currently looking to create a 4-part online application/form that will save the data to a file/database/list on my SharePoint site.
When I say 4-part application, I mean, for example:
Part 1 – personal info
Part 2 – References
Part 3 – Experience
Part 4 – Education
After one section is done, a “next section” button can be clicked. The sections would have to be linked by a common field (id perhaps).
Have 4 different sections is actually secondary. The important thing is to have an online form, accessible in the browser, where applicants can apply and the data gets saved to a file (.app, .xls, .csv, etc.) on the SharePoint site.
I appreciate any help or guidance.
Thanks in advance

If you go the infopath route, you can actually use rules to hide/show fields or sections based on conditions.
You use Infopath to create 4 different Views and 1 SP list. You can sort the list for the 4 parts using views
1.) with a survey, it would store them on the site and you could export them to excel
2.) This would also be able to be exported to excel and all of the data would just be stored in the list for viewing, reporting, etc
3.) The way that Forms7 stores the data is through JSON (I believe), so it’s not as easily exportable, but you can definitely manipulate it and create reports from it.
With the above mentioned form options, where would the data be stored, if not an xls or csv?
Thanks for replying Shawn.
The end result just needs to be a manageable database, for extracting or copying the data to other needed documents or platforms.
