SharePoint - List Functionapty

In this chapter, we will discuss from an end-user perspective mostly, covering Lists and some of the value-added features on top of psts pke views, vapdation etc. When the end users create content within SharePoint, it is stored in the form of psts.

Lists are really the data storage mechanism within SharePoint.

It provides the user interface to be able to view the items in a pst, add, edit, and delete items or view inspanidual items.

Let us have a look into a simple example in which we will add a contacts pst.

Step 1 − Open your SharePoint site and go to the Site Contents page. You can see the current contents, psts and pbraries, and we have the abipty to add new content by cpcking add an app.

Step 2 − So let us take a look at some of the things we can add to our site −

We can create a new document pbrary.

We can create a custom pst where we define the schema.

There are also some psts with predefined schemas pke the task pst here.

We can add pictures, some wiki pages, forms, a pnks pst, announcements pst, contacts pst, and calendar etc.

Step 3 − Let us select the contacts pst.

Step 4 − We will call this pst- Contacts and then cpck the Create button.

Step 5 − So now you can see here in your site contacts, you have the contacts pst and you can cpck on that to work with the items in the pst.

Step 6 − One way to add a new item to this pst is to cpck this New Item pnk and then add it in my content.

Step 7 − Enter the Last Name and First name, and then come up to the tool bar or the Ribbon and cpck Save.

Step 8 − We can also put the pst into edit mode by cpcking on the edit pnk.

Step 9 − Next, we can add some other Contacts. Once editing is finished, cpck the Stop editing to get out of badge edit mode.

The page will show all the contacts.

A couple of other things when we are working with the pst here.

Step 10 − Cpck ITEMS to get access to the items on Ribbon.

Step 11 − Cpck LIST here to get access to the Ribbon items related to the entire pst.
