There are two types of lists: standard, out-of-the-box SharePoint lists, and custom lists. The process of creating these lists is similar, but when creating custom lists, you must define the specific columns. Before you create any type of list, make sure you have the appropriate permissions to do so. By default, if you have the permissions required to create a SharePoint site (as you did in Chapter 2), you should have the permissions required to create lists.
Here are the basic steps to create a SharePoint list:
From an existing SharePoint site, click Site Actions?More Options.
Select List from the “Filter By:” types list in the left sidebar, and then select the type of list you would like to create (for example, Announcements, Calendar, Contacts, or Custom). If you select Custom, you will need to click the More Options button to configure your custom list.
