Migrate infopath forms to sharepoint online:

Migrate infopath forms to sharepoint online:

How do I migrate InfoPath to SharePoint Online?



InfoPath enables developers to build custom forms, customize List/Library forms, customize workflow association, and task forms. 
InfoPath forms (XSN files) can be migrated, but some forms may not function without remediation. 
SharePoint Online classic sites support InfoPath forms but not modern sites. 

Migration Limitation:

  1. Modern site templates do not support InfoPath forms. The browser based forms would be displayed as XML.
  2. InfoPath forms are currently not supported on the Modern experience list, it can only work in the classic experience list.
  3. InfoPath forms with SOAP calls and Managed code are not supported in SharePoint Online.
  4. InfoPath forms that leverage people picker fields need to be updated with the new user's identity post-migration.
  5. After migration, the User or site owner needs to re-publish all the forms into a new list or library. 
  6. Users must implement required changes to make it work in SharePoint Online.

Recommendation:

Site Owners need to ensure the InfoPath forms function correctly post-migration.

How do I migrate SharePoint User Alerts to sharepoint Online

How do I migrate SharePoint User Alerts to sharepoint Online:



Alerts are created on items, lists, and libraries to notify a user of when content is changed. 

In SharePoint Online, users would be able to create alerts on items, lists, and libraries but most of the migration tools do not migrate alerts form SharePoint on-prem. 

Migration Limitation:
  1. ShareGate supports alert migration. However, it will trigger emails to users who registered for alerts during migration.
  2. Communicate this to users about the alerts limitation
  3. Once the signoff is received post UAT, alerts will be migrated during delta/incremental migration. 
  4. Migration time will increase as Alerts need to be copied separately after content migration.
I hope the above information will help you to resolve the issue, in case of any queries/questions regarding the above mentioned information then please let me know. I would be more than happy to help you as well as resolves your issues, Thank you.

sharepoint custom permission levels Migration

sharepoint custom permission levels Migration:

Does ShareGate migrate custom permission level?



In SharePoint, it is possible to create a custom permission level and then assign a custom permission level to users and groups. 

SharePoint Online supports custom permission levels. 

Migration Limitation:


Some tools do not migrate custom permission levels. However, ShareGate migrates custom permission level

Recommendation:


Understand the current custom permission levels and determine the plan to move forward. Either move the users to default groups or create a plan (script or manual) for recreating permission levels in SharePoint online.

Site Owners need to validate the permission levels post-migration.

I hope the above information will help you to resolve the issue, in case of any queries/questions regarding the above mentioned information then please let me know. I would be more than happy to help you as well as resolves your issues, Thank you.
