Lesson 3 – Working with Lists

LIST TYPE

DESCRIPTION

Stores and organizes typical contact information. Your SharePoint site might have multiple contact lists for internal contacts, partner contacts, vendor contacts, and customer contacts. Creates a threaded discussion board where people can post and reply to questions. Often used in corporate, departmental, team, and project sites to facilitate discussion on matters of interest. Stores URLs (hyperlinks). These links may be on internal intranet sites, or external sites on the Internet and are any links that people feel are useful. Links may be used to store a list of all the key internal websites for an organization, or websites of key partners when used in a project site. Tracks support tickets (also known as trouble tickets or support requests) for an organization. This list allows you to follow the progress of the issue until the issue is resolved and closed. This list is often used on help desk sites to track support issues. Used to take polls, this list records and tracks responses to a specific list of questions. Survey lists usually collect feedback in areas of long term interest to the organization, such as employee feedback on corporate policies, or customer feedback on help desk services. Stores task items. This list is often use to store tasks, action items, and due dates for departments, teams or projects. The task list can be synchronized with Microsoft® Outlook® to allow users to add and work with tasks through either interface. A list composed of columns, a default list view, and behaviors created by the site owner. Custom lists may be created for any number of reasons where the default lists available in SharePoint don't meet user needs. A list based on a data source outside of SharePoint. May be used any time the data exists outside of SharePoint to allow collaboration with that data from SharePoint. Lets you create a list by importing a spreadsheet. This may be used to avoid duplicating or re-entering data.
