List and Library?

Features
Libraries
Same as Lists but for documents
Lists & Library Templates
It DOES matter
which one you
pick.
!
Each Template
comes with it’s
little functionality
Need to know
Try to apply permissions at the List/Library level
and not on every folder or files
!
Stay away from folders as much as possible, tag!
!
Watch out with free for all versioning
!
Metadata Navigation
!
Save your list/library as template with or without
the content
What’s a
SharePoint
COLUMN
Column Types
When you create a column it is
stored in the list/library where
you create it
!
Every type of column has it’s use
Know when to use the right one
!
Views will be created based on
the columns
Workflows can be created,
triggered by the right column
information
!
SharePoint allows for Column
Validation
Centralize & Reuse!
If you create columns from your lists/libraries they are stored in them.
And thus, are not reusable.
!
I recommend using “Site Columns” whenever possible to be able to
reuse them.
!
Site Columns are available to subsites – best to create at the root
What’s a
SharePoint
PAGE
PAGE
Difference between SITE and Page?
!
Difference between .aspx and .docx?
Used to show information to
the visitor
Where do documents go in SharePoint?
Wiki Page
“Wiki”= Quick
Used to quickly create and link content
Use [[
!
Publishing Page
Uses predefined Page Layouts for design
Allows Metadata (Columns) in the layout
!
Web Part Page
Only allows for Web Parts on the page
Removes the Quicklaunch for a full width
page
Think about it!
Pages & Views to
show different
perspectives
