TOPIC D: A DD C USTOM C ONTENT T YPES TO A L IBRARY Once you've created your custom content type and added columns, the final step is to add the content type for use somewhere in SharePoint. O PTIONS FOR U SING C USTOM C ONTENT T YPES IN S HARE P OINT Once you've created a custom content type, you need to add it to a list or library in SharePoint so that it can be used. Custom content types can be added to any list or library that is configured to allow multiple content types, such as the Asset Library. When you add any content type to a list or library, you are enabling that list or library to store those types of items. You can also create a custom list for your custom content type. For example, if you created an HR Employee Data content type, you might create a custom list named Employee Data and associate the HR Employee Data content type with the list. You could then configure list views and data entry requirements for the list, so that the list becomes the primary method for adding, updating, and reporting employee data. You could also add other site columns to the list as needed.
