Sharepoint tab linked to a list, a library or even a specific view
At present, when adding a SharePoint tab, you can only link to a site. Since sites may be shared among several teams, team members will still have to browse the site to find material relevant for the actual channel. It would be nice if a tab could pull up a specific custom list, library or even a specific view of a library. That would keep stuff on the site in context for that particular channel.

shared this idea
This item is still in the works.
Also, thank you for the additional feedback. I will circle back to the feature team and provide a new update soon.

I'll give an example: We have a "Proposals" SP library. But there are several levels of folders before one gets to the actual individual proposal folders (e.g., Proposals>T&M>CustomerA>2018>PrimeB>...stuff I want... . I want to set up a Team for a specific proposal and provide a tab that 'brings up" the folder for that specific proposal, rather than having to wade through the entire Proposals hierarchy or set up a separate library within the Team.

We use a lot of SharePoint lists. Teams is not useful to us without the ability to work with lists. We create custom views to display just the columns with specific column filtering. Basically, everything we can do in SharePoint to customize a list view would be needed in Teams. If there are specific feature questions, I am happy to answer.

We can already have a tab in a teams channel, that pulls up a SharePoint list. your list has to be in Modern UI though.
You can do it through the "web page" tab -

The ability to select specific view, allow filtering on the visible columns and even searching the document library or list would be a great addition to the SharePoint tab.

I want my team to stop using excel to share a list of things... Adding a tab to an existing list in teams would be a user friendly way to access a list. The Files tab opens the document library associated to the team , nothing can lead easily to a list or a sharepoint page at the moment.

Rather than training people in multiple tools, it seems more user friendly to offer one platform for collaboration. Planner is great for agile projects but doesnt fit well with waterfall projects which we have historically managed in MS-Project and Sharepoint via lists. Adding Lists to Teams would allow more groups to go utilize teams as a single platform for collaboration.

As a usability expert I say: please make lists and views on lists/libraries also available for tabs. This will make the transition from old way of working (different team sites and libraries) to this a lot easier. Respect for what you did with Teams already....focus on the user('s productivitiy)

This seems like such a bit MISS.... We too have just started using Teams and it is great, but we have stumbled on this particular issue. Created a list to track some basic project metrics in the underlying SharePoint site but can't share that list in the Teams experience. There is no easy or natural way to "jump" users from Teams to the SharePoint list.

Setting up a team our lists are the first things I wanted to connect. Shame this functionality is not there. Seems obvious. Hopefully will be fixed soon.

This is a very critical and useful function for us, that allows us to use teams to its fullest potential. Interacting with data all of cross the World depending on role in the Company.

We are switching to TEAMs for project site repositories and tracking. i was disappointed to find that there is not a list functionality as there is in SharePoint. The workarounds are not reliable, are messy and will hold up to executive scrutiny. Any idea if this will be incorporated into TEAMs?

Today, using the Web Site connector, wiewing list attached documents fails when using the Desktop App. (It works using Web App or iOs App :-s )

This is such a basic requirement - can't believe it's not there. I can only think that permissions is preventing it from being enabled.
Possibly to limit the Lists available to the SharePoint Team Site that is already associated with the Team would get past that hurdle. -

This is one of the first use cases I went looking for in teams, but ... oh, how disappointing.

We are just reviewing features to determine whether Teams will work in our environment. We us SharePoint lists extensively as well as different views of libraries and lists. I am disappointed to find that this functionality does not yet exist in Teams. That functionality would make Teams useable for us.

Is there any news on this feature for Microsoft Teams yet?

The most requested feature by our users: Lists on Tabs like Doc Libraries with access to views and Quick Edit.

This would be the biggest help for Teams. With this I can use teams as the collaboration layer to the intranet and use SharePoint as the Information layer.

And it is needed also to be able to access a document attached to the list item.
Actually, using the web Site connector with the Teams App it's impossible to view any attached document. -

Being able to add specific views of SharePoint lists on tabs in Microsoft Teams would be huge. Microsoft Flow is an awesome feature however it is really simple to create a filtered view of a list in SharePoint based on the value of a column versus moving or copying the content of a row into another SharePoint list.
