How to create a SharePoint List.

In this pot, I would you like to give a systematic procedure for create a list in SharePoint site.

What is List.

The SharePoint list is like data table / excel sheet. We can store the data based on the columns. Example, if we need to store the student details in excel. Create an excel sheet and add columns and feed the data. Similar we will create a SharePoint list, columns, and feed data. The information is stored in SharePoint and very easy to share with other users.

Step 1: login to your SharePoint portal and click settings icon near to your name and click “Add an App” or click “Sit Content” and click “add an app” both will redirect to “Your Apps” page.

 

  

Step 2:  The “Your apps” page will display different templates. In this article will focus to the Custom list.

Step 3: Click the “Custom list” and it will open the “Adding Custom list” pop up window. If you want to give a description of this List click the “Advance options” link, it will redirect to the New list page and enter the List name (in my example I entered “Students Info”) and description then click create button.

Advance option

Step 4: After creating a list it will redirect to the “Site content” page and your list name will display with “new” icon.

Step 5: Click the “Student Info” list and it will open the list All Items page. By default, the custom list contains below columns.

Step 6: You can click the “Create Column” under list tab to create a new column. This example I have created below columns with “Single Line of text” (I will explain the column type in next article).

1. Student ID
2. Class Room
3. Major Subject

Step 7: After creating columns the list will look like below screen. The next action is time to feed the data.

Step 8: Click the “new item” icon in list, it will open the new Student Info page. Enter the student details and click “Save” button.

Step 9: The new student info added in the list.
