Creating Lists
SharePoint lists are tables of data, much like Excel spreadsheets. In Chapter 2 I showed you how to create lists from spreadsheets. But lists can do a lot more than just store columns and rows of data -- in fact lists are like mini-applications in SharePoint.
I’ve organized this chapter to follow the steps I use when creating new list for someone else:
1. Create a list using one of the built-in templates.
2. Add columns to collect additional data and calculate values as required.
3. Create supporting lists for lookups and master lists.
4. Add views to display required reports.
5. Enable email, versioning, and item approval as required.
That’s similar to the process I showed for creating sites: start with what’s provided, customize, get approval, and deploy.
