SharePoint lists provide three different types of forms to interact with items within the list – view item, edit item and new item. InfoPath by default only lets you customize the edit item form. However, there is an easy way to customize each type of form seaparately. Watch this video to see how it’s done.

SharePoint Server Enterprise ships with a web part called InfoPath Form web part. This web part has the capability to show any InfoPath form – list form or library form. This video shows how you can place an InfoPath Form web part below a list and make a connection between the two. The end result is to show the details of the list item, when it’s clicked, in the InfoPath Form web part.

If you are running SharePoint Server 2010 Enterprise, you can use InfoPath 2010 to modify SharePoint list forms. You can take advantage of all that InfoPath has to offer (conditional formatting, validation, etc.) when customizing the list form. This video shows how you can modify the out of the box Tasks list in SharePoint using InfoPath.
