Creating Custom Lists


The list templates provided by SharePoint are extremely useful and cover a wide range of uses. There may be times, however, when the templates provided do not give you all the functionality you require from a list. Luckily, SharePoint makes it extremely straightforward to create custom lists that you can tweak to include data and columns specific to your site. To get started learning how to create custom lists, first create one yourself with the following procedure:

1.

From the home page of the site, click Create from the top menu bar.

2.

Under the Custom Lists section, choose Custom List.

3.

Enter a name and a description for the custom list. In addition, choose whether you want the list to appear on the Quick Launch bar that shows on the left side of the home page.

4.

Click Create to finalize the creation of the list.

After the list has been created, you are now ready to proceed forward and modify it by adding custom columns to the list.
