If you have Microsoft 365, there are a handful of useful apps available to you. One of the most useful may be Microsoft Lists. <\/p>\n

This is more than just writing down a simple list of items like you could do on Microsoft Word. The Lists app allows you to organize and prioritize for many personal and business tasks including recipe tracking, gift ideas, employee onboarding, work progress tracking, and more. Here\u2019s how to access it.<\/p>\n

How to track information with Microsoft Lists<\/strong><\/h2>\n
To open Microsoft Lists, click the Microsoft 365 icon or search for it on your computer and open it.<\/p>\n

Add columns by selecting the columns tab at the top and choosing the column type. Options include text, choice, date and time, multiple lines of text, person, number, yes\/no, hyperlink, image, and lookup.<\/p>\n
\n
$\"Add$ <\/figure>\n

Choose from one of the four view options to help organize your list.<\/p>\n
\n
$\"Choose$ <\/figure>\n
IDG \/ Alex Huebner<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
If you like the list in traditional list view and want to sort your information, click the \u201cTitle\u201d tab at the top left to see a dropdown of sorting options.<\/p>\n
\n
$\"If$ <\/figure>\n
IDG \/ Alex Huebner<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
If you\u2019d like to share this list with coworkers, volunteers, family, or anyone else, click the manage access button on the top right.<\/p>\n
\n
$\"If$ <\/figure>\n
IDG \/ Alex Huebner<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
This will open a manage access window where you will click the share button.<\/p>\n
\n
$\"This$ <\/figure>\n
IDG \/ Alex Huebner<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Another window will open that will allow you to enter the name or email address of the person you want to share with or copy the link to give to those who will need to access the list.<\/p>\n
\n
$\"Another$ <\/figure>\n
IDG \/ Alex Huebner<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Alternately, you can select the share option at the top of the page and it will open this window.<\/p>\n
