What is Microsoft Lists?

Lists is an information tracking app in Microsoft 365 that enables users to work with anyone, anywhere. Users can configure lists to better organize events, issues, and assets.

Categories & Use Cases

One of the best ways to hold, view and work with lists of data. Love it!

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We track a range of different things, from staff information, onboarding, compliance tracking, project management and more

Pros

  • great for capturing loads of data
  • great for manipulating and viewing the data many ways
  • strong integration with other M365 products and Power Automate

Cons

  • It's definitely getting better but for the average user, there is still a fairly big learning curve if you want to do anything beyond the basics
  • It would be cool to get Microsoft List addons that could further enhance the capabilities within Lists itself

Most Important Features

  • Being able to pull data from any staff in the org into the list
  • being able to have workflows for approvals
  • being able to trigger automation based on dates or actions in the list that greatly simplify the user experience

Return on Investment
