New Lists app in Teams
Hello,
Since its release this month, we've been exploring the possibilities with the Lists app within Teams, and so far it's not as cool as we'd hoped. I am finding that it only allows creation and use of lists within the Teams channel's private group/SharePoint site that gets created when a Team is created (i.e., when we created the "IT" team, it created https://xxxx.sharepoint.com/sites/IT37). I notice that when attempting to link a list outside of that private group/SP site, the tab remains blank.
e.g., the "TAA Requests" list below is one that exists in our organization's main SharePoint site, which is OUTSIDE of the "IT" team private group/SP site -
While on the otherhand, this list was created on the "IT" team private group/SP site and it displays the list's data -
Is this by design?
Thank you in advance,
M
- Not by design, I'm not experiencing the issue and can add any list to the tab and it is rendering fine. I did use the URL method to add my list copying the list form another site.
You might try signing out of Teams and back in after checking for updates to see if there might be something cache related causing it, but I can vouch that it def. works with other lists not in the same Private attached Team Site.Hi ChrisWebbTech -
Thank you for the quick response! I checked for Teams updates and it said "You've got the latest updates. Enjoy!" I then signed out and quit Teams, installed Windows updates and restarted PC but when I attempted to add the list again, the tab is still blank. It populates the list name, but the list doesn't render.
When you say you used the URL method, are you just copying the URL for the list you want from the address bar and pasting into the "Enter link here" field here? -
Thank you,
M
- Yup exactly. I'm wondering what your Permissions look like on the list you are trying to add? The list I add is from our main org facing hub site where there is an "Everyone except external users" has read access to the site and it's lists. Wondering if it's possible it's a security thing that is a requirement somehow for it to show.
I'll try a list that others don't have access too and see.
