Working with Microsoft Lists (webinar)

Microsoft Lists is your smart information tracking app in Microsoft 365.
Learn how to get started with Microsoft Lists from the Microsoft Lists engineers themselves. Start a list from a template, add your information, and then use conditional formatting, rules, and key collaboration features to make the list your own - to make it work across your team. We covered a lot of information with lots of demos.
This webinar was presented by Harini Saladi, Miceile Barrett, Chakkaradeep Chandran and Mark Kashman - all from Microsoft on Wednesday, August 5th, 2020.

Thank you, but I don't see available the option Grid View or Gallery View, and also it seems kind of odd to me that you never show how to add the 'Comments' into a list item! Why don't you just explain how it is supposed to be set up when you create a list and then explain that for certain zones the feature won't be able if that's the case? Thanks.

[@cybermonkeyusa]

What stops this from being a good product is SharePoint. It is slow and clunky. Tools like Airtable are built cloud first and you do not have to create rules, power apps, etc. Additionally, this shows a lack of collaboration with the other products that already exist; planner and ToDo.

[@minxychic]

How can I differentiate the use of Lists with Planner?

[@issiewizzie]

They should really add this new list to SharePoint

[@MicrosoftCommunityLearning]

Work in progress. It's the same technology in Microsoft Lists and in SharePoint Lists. Full alignment coming soon.

[@RayHenry100]

This feels like the MS App I've been waiting for. I've written a similar 'Issues Tracker' App in another App ( FM Pro), but this feels like the MS App I'll look use to migrate cross into the MS ecosystem . Great work!!

[@bill9131]

did you managed to create a summary of a column you want to see especially if the List is very long or too much data

[@JeffersonMartinSynfluent]

We still don't have the Lists app in our M365 user experience.

[@ivordavies1438]

Chakkaradeep Chardran - Are there any examples of the JSON code for customizing the list form (Header / Body / Footer)?

[@MicrosoftCommunityLearning]

Not yet - feature is coming soon and we'll share more guidance in docs and in video format when time is right.

[@leemobai762]

Very difficult to listen to when the first presenter (Herany?) keeps on say um, um, um...When someonedoes that it demonstrates a clear lack in confidence and competence.

[@michaelr1989]

Thank you for the video. Has there been a change in how the lists handle copy-pasting in information in bulk? At present, with SharePoint lists, I believe processing is row-by-row and it takes a minute. Any improvements here?

[@adzimmokhtar9482]

What happen to UI option to customise the form? Most of my business users are not familiar with JSON

[@karene7757]

Can you copy and paste from one Microsoft List to another Microsoft List? Or is it impossible to import directly from an existing Microsoft List? It seems possible from some videos but I haven't figured out how to do this within Microsoft List.

[@siva301in]

Can I get date in text box automatically when I put any comment/ description ?

[@victoryeungtw0106]

Hello i want to ask how to add the image / photo into the "device photo" area ?

[@christerrussberg3059]

Thanks for a great presentation. I hope I get the List option soon in my tenant.

[@MicrosoftCommunityLearning]

Glad it was helpful!

[@dannyzhu7256]

Can I use power query to pull data from MS lists?

[@prateepdasgupta]

Does this have anything to do with SharePoint lists?

[@zyloca]

how can I add automatic date and time once i add new item?

[@christinebalasabas]

Is there a way to add or import multiple list items from excel to microsoft list on the teams chat instead of adding it 1 by 1?

[@lizz.y02]

Yes you can

[@redmg02]

I'm really sorry to be negative but I found this to be really poorly presented. It was difficult to read the screens (they seemed to be slightly out of focus or, perhaps, too small) and I think the presenters should probably have rehearsed beforehand. This presentation doesn't compare with others like, for example, Kevin Stratvert who put the information across a lot better.

[@MicrosoftCommunityLearning]

Kevin is absolutely awesome and here's good video from him around How to use Microsoft Lists - kzbin.info/www/bejne/rny0fKqVnaikodE. This was slightly different kind of setup with Microsoft engineering, so the people who actually created the feature. It does not mean that they are specialists on presenting, but of course no harm on having more than one video from Kevin.

[@redmg02]

Is Lists going to be available to education 365 users? *fingers-crossed*

[@rsuryo]

Yes it is, it's avaliable now on my education tenant.

[@thearchibaldtuttle]

I it so great to see the faces behind the great products! The ability to use JSON to format a list is just brilliant!

[@joanreinhardt8204]

Does anyone know how to, or what global settings, I have to change to be able to duplicate lists across my work SharePoint sites and teams which I am the owner?

[@noeldecomarmond25]

How do you add a device photo in Asset Manager?

[@Jeffkoertzen]

Just click on the "Add Image" link, and it will open up a standard file dialog box to load your image. If you're talking about the column, it's just a standard sharepoint image column type.

[@espeolguin]

Hello, I just created a SharePoint list with lookup columns, but when I try to use it in the mobile version, the look up column was not available - read only. Is there a way to make it work? Now I am creating drop down columns to replace the lookup column, but I need the correct formula or JSON code to obtain the auto populate that the lookup column was doing before. I have 34 different values that need to used and the calculated column is limited to only 7 IF statements. Any help will be greatly appreciate it

[@PabloMoricz]

When will all this options be available, it's november but I don't see it on my tenant. I don't see Lists on my tenant. I can access it using the OneDrive workaround but when I use it, I don't get all these awesome features, I can just create normal lists and see none of what is shown in the video.

[@christophe7519]

Just curious, why have the Incidents template displayed in Teams only, not in the regular Microsoft Lists UI?

[@sgarcata]

How can I relate another list of, say, multiple items that belong to someone in another list?

[@lorcanharney8113]

Good grief - a super example of how PowerPoint is killing us, slide by slide. Tedious.

[@markjacobson9333]

Is it the intention that Lists will emulate Smartsheet with regard to dash boarding / graphing and custom report views. It looks like this is the way it is headed?

[@timpeng1269]

Can I create some statistics graphs from specific columns?

[@GPIduh]

How will a TR user know when the new feature will be installed in his tenant? Is there any way a user will be notified or see a running list of updates? Will like to know of a means of notifying users

[@shivaprasad498]

Do my tenant Admin need to activate this app? I cant see it All apps

[@christophe7519]

The video mentions that general availability will be between now and late October. Be patient... or use the "OneDrive" trick to get there ;-)

[@JamesBullough]

Christophe I must have missed it, what is the one drive trick?

[@christophe7519]

@@JamesBullough Go to your OneDrive, replace onedrive.aspx with lists.aspx in the URL. Just a trick to play with the feature before it is officially released.

How about multiple users doing list update at the same time? For example, if one user filters out the list, will other users see whole list or what was filtered out?

[@bill9131]

is there a way to see the summary you want to get if the Lists is too long? for instance overdue or critical items?

[@majid1stful]

Nice video Really thanks. Can I set a rule for comment column?

[@MrROOVII]

Few Features like "Create View" is missing in my tenant..I was trying using "Issue Tracker" template like in the demo. These features are still to be rolled out to the entire users?

Can we hide the row if status is marked closed instead of deletion?

This is an awesome video. I learned everything I need to know.

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@geechiisuede]

Can the issues be assigned a tracking number or tickets number?

[@MicrosoftCommunityLearning]

Absolutely - all lists templates are provided as a starting point and you can modify them based on your business requirements by adding different fields or any other settings.

Why I can not leave a comment on item?Dont have option...

the "commenting" Feature is still not available for all tenants. Card and Calendar views, Rules creator and commenting Features are rolling out in September.

Great Presentation. I would like to go deeper into Day Olds calculation.

[@Jeffkoertzen]

When you open up the details for the column, it's calculated with this formula: =IF(LEN([Date reported])=0,0,DATEDIF([Date reported],TODAY(),"d"))

Hi, is there a way I can convert the time? The “date reported” column I want as the today’s date but the outcome is not my time zone. I have tried a flow to convert but failed. 🤔
