Benefits of using Lists

“

- [Instructor] How many lists do you use to keep track of your life? There's never a shortage of lists for work. Things I need to do today, Potential future clients, emails I need to send, and more. In this lesson, I'm going to show you how to identify the benefits of using Microsoft Lists so that you can start thinking of ways to use it. First off, Microsoft Lists is a great tool for staying organized. You can easily arrange your tasks and to-do lists into a structured order. I'll start from office.com. Select the app launcher in the upper left corner and open Lists. For example, I make Weekly ToDo lists to keep track of all the different items I need to complete. If I get assigned a new task this week, I'll simply open my ToDo list, select add a new item, and then add the title. Another benefit of Microsoft Lists, is availability. You could access your list from your desktop, your phone, on the web, and even from Teams. And finally, Microsoft Lists seamlessly integrates with Microsoft 365 apps. Because Microsoft Lists runs in the Cloud, you can feed data to other apps without uploading or downloading. From my ToDo list, I'll select integrate in the top menu and see all the Microsoft 365 apps I can feed data into. With Power Apps, you can create an app using your list data. Power Automate, allows you to automate your routine using your list. And Power BI, will let you create a visualization using your list data. Organization, availability, and seamless integration Make Microsoft Lists a powerful tool to keep you organized and moving forward. So the next time you move to write down a list, I encourage you to give Microsoft Lists a try.
