💪 Check out my latest video on using Microsoft Lists with Power Automate!

[christopherstaal]

This is the clearest explanation yet on what distinguishes ToDo from Planner from Lists.

Hi and thank you for the video, it was really helpful. I would love to see how to build an employee onboarding / offboarding using Lists. It would be great if you could make a tutorial for this! :)

[omarbatuta]

Yes, yes, yes !!!

Please talk more about all the other MS Apps.

Your emphatic style is very absorbing.

Keep up the good job !

[cintakhutbah]

Thank you. More videos about MS List please.

Really great video. I think it is the first time I understood the "why" behind Lists. Thank you, Russell! It would be great to see how you would recommend using Lists to "work manage" a project, for example, but also to aggregate all of the work a team is engaged in. As a team manager, it would be great for me to see everything the team is working on, progress, etc. But, I want to keep that simple too.

So clear and comprehensive. Thank you for your effort. I would really like more details on how to create calculated columns. I experience challenges in calculating difference on dates in reference to today's date. *cheers

Good presentation I have to say. Very professional and one of the easier ones to try to get to grip with the various O365 apps out there. Much appreciated.

@russellSmith great video and very well explained!
When creating an item in Lists, which is assigned to someone (as a task), can that task be linked to the "To Do" and include that new task in the To Do list automatically?

[cybermonkeyusa]

To-Do is also task management for Teams. It was built into Wunderlist and works extremely well for teams.

A really nice and helpful video. I'm curios how did you made those effects 3D with buttons and so on...

[edwinhendricks]

Hi @RusselSmith thank you for this video - great content and really easy to follow and listen to. All the best with your work going forward.

Hi Russell, fantastic video as I'm new to 'Lists' clear and concise, just what I need.

I am looking into how 'Lists' can be used as an attendance register for recurring training courses which tracks the individuals progress by logging assessments passed vs failed and days attended. Any help on this would be greatly received.

I'm looking forward to your next videos.

Thanks, Chris.

Tqvm Russel . I just subscribe your channel.. Nice to meet you and your knowledge sharing

[chriscowally]

which app I should I use for assets management

[martinargimon]

Hi russell . i'm using MS lists to generate 'Taks Lists' for my staff. I have also created a Flow to ensure that each staff members gets an automatic email when a Task is assigned to them. I am battling though with Sharepoint permissions. Is NOT as simple as one would think, specifically bearing in mind that MS 365 Groups behave differently in Sharepoint . The permissions set up is quite a story . I was wondering if you could perhaps organise a video that deals with this. NOwadays ALL of us are using a cloud sercvice ( in my case ONeDrive) and all my folders are strored in the sharepoint site and hence i need to set up persmissions which are different for the different groups.
Thanks for yout videos
Regards
