IncentivizedUse Cases and Deployment Scope
We run our business on SharePoint online and Office 365. Creating forms and actions with the out-of-the-box SharePoint tools left a lot to be desired. After migrating all my InfoPath forms I needed a better solution. Lightning Tools List Actions allows us to carry out workflow at the list level rather than drilling down into each list item. We like the way the list actions can be tailored to only certain user groups and/or limited to one item or many. This is a very handy tool and we are always finding new ways to use this in our busy SharePoint environment. The folks at Lightning Tools are always very responsive to any support issues my team may have. I appreciate that these days.
Pros
- Allow for workflow actions to be executed at the view level.
- Has a full range of available tools. It's not just email for an approval.
- Super easy to use and configure.

We use SharePoint to manage over 100 legal litigation cases. We also use SharePoint for all of our internal billing and time keeping. There is great need for different SharePoint sites to be able to have access to other lists and data sources. List Actions provides an easy-to-use interface that we use to implement file copies between sites, workflow tracking of medical records through our medical collections department, send out medical record requests using the enhanced SendMail options. We have automated many tasks that used to take up considerable time and were error-prone. Having the logic of a workflow with all the steps carried out with a click of a button is great. Plus it is very fast.
