When using the Employee Onboarding template, how do you associate a list to an individual new employee who you are onboarding? It looks like all the fields in the list are 'things that you do' for onboarding, but how can you identify, for three different employees, which list items are in what status for each of the three employees?

I like the Asset Tracker template. Two questions: 1. Are we able to use Microsoft Lists outside of Office 365? My new company doesnt use 365. 2. Are we able to create our own columns on the lists? Currently, I am sending Excel Tables with todo items back and forth with several employees :(

Hi! Great video! Would you know if there's a way an alert/e-mail could be sent to a user once a task is assigned to them?

Hi Team,
Any option to integrate Microsoft Lists with Outlook Calendar or just to get a calendar view of the lists/to-do items? Please can you respond. Thanks!

Very helpful video. Do you know if Microsoft has in development a dashboard similar to the board view that is now available in Outlook calendar but that would integrate lists, tasks, calendar, etc. into a dashboard-like view? I envision it as a landing page where I can keep sticky notes, lists, tasks, goals, etc. Thank you!

Do you know if you could create a task out of Microsoft Lists? I'd love to create a task from an "Assigned to" column for the work progress tracker, but it seems the only type of alert I can generate is an email or text in the "Add alert" option.

Missing a lot of what Airtable offers.

I wonder how onboarding works when you're onboarding multiple people at different periods in time. How to keep track of all of them.
