But what exactly are Microsoft Lists?
Microsoft Lists helps you to find information and organize your work. The feature has actually always existed and could be described as a "online Excel sheet" or "a user-friendly mini-database". Listss are simple, smart and flexible and help you and your team to get a good overview of what is most important. You can manage, track and keep track on assets, procedures, contacts, inventory with customizable views, smart rules and notifications to keep everyone synchronized.
The most obvious changes in with the name change to Microsoft Lists is that there are ready-made templates to use and a better possibility to visualize the lists clearly for the users.
Examples of ready-made templates:
- Tracking progress at work by following development of different tasks
- Managing travel expenses
- Simple case management
- The asset manager to keep check when for example iequipment is lent out
- Onboarding for the best introduction to new employees
- Content planners for production and publishingof content
Useful for anyone who currently manages processes manually.
Anyone who works with documentation and lists can benefit from Microsoft Lists, and especially you who work with manual processes. It can be a receptionis who has a list in a binder where the borrowing and lending of equipment to employees is noted with an ink pen. The receptionist could could benefit from the templatea asset manager in Microsoft Lists. Bhe inventory of which inventory items have been lent to whom, what date they are expected to be returned is visualized. in a better way and it is also possible to link a reminder notification to anyone who happens to forget to return the office hole punch on time.

One example is holiday planning, where it is possible to give employees access to their own specific rows - without them seeing the rest of the organization's planning at the same time. For you as a manager, the overview becomes clear and you can filter on, for example, "how many people have vacation in January".
Staff in the field can use the mobile app tick boxes when they have completed a missionand the information will be directly into the relevant list. For more advanced users, it is also possible to create specific apps in Power Apps that are linked to the lists providing even more possibilities.
