Lists are like editable, Web-based tables.
List templates can be used to generate a new list with a static set of default columns. There are 21 built-in, default list templates: Agenda, Announcements, Calendar, Contacts, Custom List, Custom List in Datasheet View, Decisions, Discussion Board, Document Library, Form Library, Import Spreadsheet, Issue Tracking, Links, Objectives, Picture Library, Project Tasks, Survey, Tasks, Text Box, Things To Bring, and Wiki Page Library.
Create lists in Windows SharePoint Services by using descriptive, easy to remember, consistent names.
One or more documents can optionally be attached to a list item.
Windows SharePoint Services allows you to add, edit, and delete the columns in any list.
List views define how list items in the list are displayed. Lists can be sorted and filtered manually or through the use of named list views.
Public list views can be viewed by anyone, whereas Personal list views can only be viewed by their creator.
Some lists and libraries can be configured to receive e-mail.
Deleting a list moves it and all of its list items to the site Recycle Bin.
