How to create a list in Microsoft 365 and make a dynamic QR code

If you need to organize information for yourself or others, the Microsoft Lists tool in the web version of the Microsoft 365 software suite is useful. It is convenient to create lists for completely different tasks. For example, you can compile a shopping list, outline key tasks for organizing a corporate event, or plan your schedule for the week, etc. Additionally, sharing these lists becomes effortless by adding the list's link to a QR code.

How to make a QR code for Microsoft Lists? First, you need to prepare the document itself by organizing all necessary information in columns and rows. Once the list is ready, copy its URL from the official Microsoft website and use a QR code generator to create the code for a list.

Advantages of lists in Microsoft 365

Microsoft Lists is specifically designed for organizing information into structured lists. Unlike Microsoft Excel, which is primarily used for data analysis and calculations, Microsoft Lists is tailored for task optimization. This tool is perfect for creating lists of goals, projects, inventory items, contractors, and more. It's ideal for task planning, tracking current task statuses, and managing workflows.

Since several users can collaborate on a list simultaneously, they will be more productive in completing assigned tasks. Thus, each participant can see the list of their tasks, upload attachments, and add notes or comments. At the same time, the document updates in real time and automatically saves to OneDrive.

As a result, each list has a unique URL. Converting this URL into a QR code allows the list creator and any users with access to it to easily scan the code with mobile devices and view the list's contents.
