How to create a list in SharePoint 2010

A List can be thought of as a collection of pieces of information — all of which (typically) have the same properties. For instance, you can have a list of links called "my links", where each item has a URL, a name, and a description.
Lists have many features such as workflows, item-level or list-level permission, version history tracking, multiple content-types, external data sources, and many more features. Some of these features depend on the version of SharePoint that is installed.

SharePoint 2010: Creating Lists

A custom list is the most basic type of list in SharePoint and provides a good introduction to using and managing SharePoint lists. There are multiple ways to create a custom list in SharePoint. The quickest way is to choose the Custom List option on your site’s Create page or window.

SharePoint’s list creation functionality is provided in two varieties depending on the availability of Microsoft Silverlight on your computer. Without Silverlight, you are presented with a Create page that contains links to various types of list organized into sections based on their functional usage. With Silverlight, you are shown a Create window allowing you to filter items you can create by Type and Category.

You will also notice an option on the Create page or window that will enable you to create a custom list using the Datasheet view rather than the standard view that the Custom List option uses.

To create a new custom list without Silverlight installed, follow these steps:

1. On the site’s home page, click the More Options… link in the Site Actions menu.
2. On the Create page, click the Custom List link in the Custom Lists section.
3. On the New page, enter a name and description for the list.
4. Select Yes under the Navigation options if you want to show a link to this list
on the Quick Launch area of the site.
5. Click the Create button.

To create a new custom list using the Silverlight Create window,follow these steps:

1. On the site’s home page, click the More Options… link in the Site Actions menu.
2. On the Create window, select the Custom List icon in the Installed Items section.
3. In the Custom List section, click the More Options button.
4. In the Name and Description section, enter a name and description for the list.
5. Select Yes under the Navigation options if you want to show a link to this list on the Quick Launch area of the site.
6. Click the Create button.

That's it-Done, The custom list has been successfully created.. If You have any queries or doubts regarding the above mentioned info then please let me know,Thanks..
