Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

Create and use Microsoft Lists within Microsoft Teams

Starting a list is easy. Create and manage lists from any browser by clicking Lists in the Microsoft 365 app launcher. Get going quickly with one of our ready-made templates for issue tracking, asset management, employee onboarding, and more. Review the Microsoft Lists âLook Bookâ to learn more about the ready-made templates.

Create a new list inside Teams with conversations side-by-side. The above shows using the Asset manager template.

For Microsoft Teams users, simply add a list to a channel or create a new list directly in Teams. The Teams mobile app also gets a Lists update so you can view any list you added a tab in Teams â even on the go. Available later this year on iOS, the new Lists mobile app enables customers to create, view, and manage all their Lists from their mobile devices.

Make lists smarter to get more done in Microsoft 365

Keeping track of information is part of everyday life. Writing things down or using spreadsheets works for simple things. But when youâre dealing with hundreds or thousands of items and need to coordinate with others on your team and mapped to recurring business processes, it can quickly get overwhelming. And as the global pandemic has made remote work the new normal for many of us, weâre also facing the added challenge of staying in sync while staying at home.

We built Lists to help you save time and reduce hassle. As simple to use as a spreadsheet, Lists helps you easily track any information, invite others to collaborate, and use rules to keep everyone in sync â in addition to being able to customize forms and flows with the Power Platform. Itâs a simple, smart, flexible way to track information and get more done.

Lists for every team and every situation

Millions of people use SharePoint lists and libraries every month in Microsoft 365 to track issues, manage inventory, report status, onboard new hires, build out event agendas, manage FAQs, and more. With flexible columns, forms, and views, you can build your own solution to meet your specific needs without knowing how to code.

For example, Lauren Taylor, the vice principal of Manitou Park Elementary School in Tacoma, Washington, created a custom list to track studentsâ reading abilities. Now teachers can quickly determine what each student needs without going through spreadsheets or reams of paper.

The Jim Henson Company created a list to track celebrity and production visitors at their Los Angeles studio. What used to be a manual process done on a clipboard, this new approach using lists has saved time, giving security guards a simple, mobile-friendly way to track current visitors, flag unexpected guests, and make decisions more quickly.

Read more how security guards improved onsite security with increased visitor tracking accuracy.

Avanade, a global professional services firm with 29,000 employees, now can rapidly prototype, iterate, and publish solutions that better connect employees with critical information, without expensive planning, development, and IT maintenance costs.

With corporate data available on their mobile devices, Avanade sellers are now more productive and better able to serve and attract clients.

Read more how Avanade uses lists with Power Apps to simplify â¦ everything.

Fully integrated with Microsoft 365, Lists works seamlessly with other apps, such as Excel, SharePoint, Power Apps (custom forms), Power Automate (customer flows) and Power BI, enabling our customers to build powerful information tracking solutions at a fraction of the time and effort it typically takes to create custom apps from scratch.

Example productivity app utilizing a list-item view form customized using Power Apps to bring in additional data from Power BI â all as a tab in Microsoft Teams.

Microsoft Kaizala rolls out to Office 365 and soon to Microsoft Teams

Today, we are pleased to announce that Microsoft Kaizala is rolling out to all eligible Microsoft 365 and Office 365 commercial customers worldwide, making it generally available in 40 languages across 180+ markets. We are also announcing plans to bring Kaizala capabilities into Microsoft Teams and several new capabilities in Kaizala.

Kaizala – a simple, secure work management and messaging app

Kaizala brings unique capabilities to Microsoft 365, with its ability to connect and engage people both inside and outside of an organization’s directory – including contract workers, vendors, partners, suppliers, customers, and citizens – using large and flexible group types. Kaizala enables phone number-based identity for easy onboarding, and a simple user experience for messaging and work management through the open directory. Kaizala Pro gives you the ability to create and manage organizational groups, gather rich analytics, build custom integrations and workflows, and offers enterprise-grade security and compliance.

Kaizala delivers on three key promises:

Connect with anyone using the Kaizala open directory, enabling people to sign up with just a phone number, and is scalable to millions of users

Secure work management integrated with messaging and video - Built-in action cards such as survey, poll, job, training, and location sharing enable you to coordinate work and securely collect information

Digitize business processes – Kaizala’s extensible platform enables you to build custom line-of-business action cards and gather business insights using in-built reporting and analytics

Since its initial launch in India in November 2017, and subsequent roll out to select markets, thousands of organizations are using Kaizala, including Philippines Airlines, Apollo Hospitals, M-Kopa Solar, McDonald’s Turkey, Narayana Health, UEM Edgenta, Government of Andhra Pradesh, and many more across multiple industries. Based on these success stories and feedback from customers, we are making Kaizala Pro available to all Office 365 customers globally.

Bringing together Kaizala and Microsoft Teams

The capabilities of Kaizala complement the robust communication and collaboration capabilities of Microsoft Teams, the hub for teamwork in Microsoft 365. Teams improves workplace collaboration by helping organizations move from an array of disparate apps to a single, secure hub that brings together what teams need, including chat, meetings, and calling, all with native integration to the Office 365 apps. More than 500,000 organizations use Teams to collaborate across locations, time zones, and languages. Many of our customers, including M-Kopa Solar and UEM Edgenta, use both Teams and Kaizala to empower and engage their internal workforce and the extended network outside their directory.

Enabling every member of an organization’s network with digital communication and collaboration tools – whether they are inside or outside of the company directory – can transform the way work gets done. We also believe that every organization should have the ability to own and manage their company data. Based on this vision, and on feedback from customers, we will be bringing Kaizala capabilities into Microsoft Teams as an integrated offering. We expect the integration to happen in phases over the next 12-18 months, and we will provide more details about the Kaizala and Teams integration roadmap later this quarter.

Additional new Microsoft Kaizala capabilities

Today, we are also announcing several new capabilities in Kaizala that have been top requests from current customers.

New features for Kaizala users:

@mentions enable you to tag individual members in a chat so you can call their attention to things that matter.

Delete messages: You can now delete a message in a 1:1 or group chat within an hour of sending it. If you are a group admin, you can delete any message at any point in time.

The Kaizala web app allows managers and admins to easily access and search chat conversations, send documents, action cards and more from a desktop (PC/laptop). It is now available in public preview and will be generally available to all Kaizala users later this quarter.

Kaizala web app is in public preview and lets you access chats, documents, action cards and more from the web

Image annotation provides a rich inking experience, so you can markup images before sharing in chat

Video calling enables you to connect face to face using rich 1:1 video calling.

The new Kaizala me feature is a private chat space just for you, where you can send yourself chat messages such as meeting notes or reminders, or try new action cards

Chat with yourself to keep your notes organized, and connect face to face using video calls

New group and data management capabilities

Updated Kaizala Management Portal: We have updated the Kaizala Management Portal so business users can manage their groups more effectively. The management portal now also supports a single sign-on experience for Office 365 users.

In-region data residency: For new customers, Kaizala will store customer data at rest within the customer’s region (US, APAC, India and EU). Customers will also benefit from a robust failover and disaster recovery support. Learn more.

What’s next?

We are excited about the Kaizala to Teams integration and the opportunity this provides our customers and partners, to securely connect users both inside and outside their organization. We are delighted about the momentum Kaizala is gaining, and are working on several additional capabilities that have been requested by customers to be released over the coming months, including:

Support for right-to-left languages such as Hebrew and Arabic

The ability to invite users using their email

The ability to sync your organization’s Azure Active Directory (AAD) within Kaizala

A new Kaizala admin role so you can assign dedicated admins to manage Kaizala policies

You can download Microsoft Kaizala today from the app stores and get started. Join the Kaizala Tech Community to give feedback, vote on feature requests, and engage with an awesome community.

Note: Microsoft Kaizala Pro is included in Office 365 F1, E1, E3, E5, Business Essentials and Business Premium, Office 365 Education A3 and A5 and Microsoft 365 F1, Business, E3, E5 and Microsoft 365 Education A3 and A5.
