SETTING, ACTION, OR ASSOCIATION

DESCRIPTION

Columns

These are columns associated with the content type. For example, the document content type has a single column associated with it, the Title column, which is an optional piece of metadata. The Task list content type has Task Name, Start Date, Due Date, Assigned to, and many other columns associated with it. You can add or remove columns from a content type. When doing so, you can add from existing site columns or create custom columns.

S COPING C ONTENT T YPES When thinking about the types of content types your users may need, think beyond the scope of your division or department, think organizationally. Content types are designed to define common items used by an organization, and be reusable. Focus on how your organization thinks and acts. A project-focused organization might have project names, project managers, stakeholders, and various customer data as custom content types. A nonprofit organization that operates based on grants and may have cost-center-based content types.
