Microsoft Lists for your Master Lists
Rating: 10 out of 10
IncentivizedUse Cases and Deployment Scope
I use Microsoft Lists as a place where all the registration forms from multiple Forms are hosted. In short, it is the master list we have for all our programs and even registrations. Also, Microsoft Lists allows us to export our data to other Microsoft apps like Power BI, so the data visualization for our reports becomes seamless.
Pros
- Hosting data from multiple sources
- Filtering items that are only needed for a specific query
- Exporting just the data needed
- Search for participants or event participation
Cons
- Unlike Excel, you need to go to Edit mode for you to make changes in the entries
- You cannot just copy paste like Excel
Likelihood to Recommend
Organizations with institutional subscriptions should consider maximizing the use of Microsoft Lists in their operations because it has the feature of seamlessly working with all the other Microsoft Apps. You can have a master file of multiple projects that are going on, and you don't have to manually do the updating. However, it is important to note that to maximize the Microsoft List experience, the team should have basic knowledge about integration and automation.
