Modify the Default Forms

One of the great features of SharePoint is the ability to customize the existing SharePoint item forms. This is a hidden benefit for most users since they never venture on the button that allows for the change to occur.

Often, this is used when adding additional information to a form or when a user wants to connect lists together to filter the results from a web part using the item that is displayed in the form.  See below for the directions to edit the form and best part is they are WEB PART PAGES!  So if it can be done on a web part page, it can be done on a form.

1. Navigate to the list where you want to modify the form.
2. Click on the Modify Form button on the right side of the ribbon.

3. Click add a web part to add additional functionality.
