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

There are multiple ways you could do this:
1.) A survey would allow you to have each part on its own “page” and click next to go to the next part.
2.) A custom list could be created. The list could have everything in it, but separating it into separate parts would be a little more difficult.
3.) Use something like Mark Rackley’s Forms7 solution that would allow you to not have to create custom columns for every field that you want.
I’m sure other people would come up with other ideas as well.
You mention wanting to save it as an xls or csv. That’s a whole other realm that I’m not real familiar with. What is your reason for needing that?
