How to create site column in SharePoint
Hi every one, Today we are going to see how to create site column in SharePoint. Before going to implement we will see what site column ? How it is different from normal list column ?
Description:
Column : when ever you create a column inside our SharePoint list, that column is only available there. Therefore, if we need the same column in another list afterwards, you will have to create that column again.
Site Column: The Site Column helps you by providing a reusable column within your site and sub sites. Once you create a site column at our top level site , we can use that site column in the sub sites as well.
Step 1:
Go to the
Site Settings
Next Under ” Galleries” , click “
Site columns”
On this page that is displayed, a list with all existing site columns is displayed. Click “
Create” button to create a new site column.
Step 2:
- This is the Name and Type section, type the name which one you want in the Column name text box.
- Under The type of information in this column is, select the type that you want to appear in the column.
- Specify the site column group, here you can select exiting group or can create new group.
- Depends on the type of column what you selected, more options may appear in the Additional Column Settings section. Select the additional settings that you want.
- To add the column to the default view, which people on your site automatically see when they first open a list or library, click Add to default view.
- Click OK
