As InfoPath approaches its end of life in July 2026, organizations must transition to modern form technologies like Microsoft Power Apps, Lightning Forms, Nintex, or Skybow. This guide walks you through migrating an InfoPath form to Nintex K2 SmartForms, using Lightning Tools Form Migrator.
Prerequisites
- InfoPath form design file (.XSN) or a published InfoPath form library in SharePoint
- Follow the steps in Lightning Tools — Form Migrator basics to Add, Read, and Analyze your InfoPath form.
- Access to Nintex K2 SmartForms
- Lightning Tools Form Migrator installed with either a trial or full license key
- Permission to create SharePoint lists and authenticate connections
Create the target SharePoint lists
Migrating to Nintex K2 SmartForms is a two-step process. First, the target SharePoint lists must be created and configured as SmartObjects, and then the actual form can be migrated.
Select your form in the tool, and click the blue Write button (you need to have either a Trial or Full “Form Template Conversion” license for this button to be visible).
Select SharePoint as the Writer (because first you are only creating the required SharePoint lists), select your target SharePoint Online site, and either accept the default list name (based on your form name) or create a new list from the site's treeview.
Click Go. The Migrator tool will create the primary list based on the fields in your InfoPath form, and if there are repeating sections in your form, the tool will create a child list for each repeater.
