Getting Started with Custom Lists in SharePoint 2013 (SharePoint 2013 End-User Series)

SharePoint is based on lists behind the scenes. Creating custom lists to enter items and keep track of things is very common practice in SharePoint sites. However, to the end-user community it may not be common knowledge. SharePoint 2013 enhances the capabilities and functionality in creating, modifying, and enhancing custom lists. This can be very daunting for new users to SharePoint.

Therefore this guide was created to step users through the process of creating custom lists, adding items, creating views, etc. in an easy screenshot-based walkthrough fashion. Using the guide, users will understand various aspects of custom lists:
• Creating a custom list
• Adding, renaming, and removing columns from a list
• Adding, editing, and deleting items from a list
• Creating and modifying list views
• Sorting and Filtering lists (in-place)
• Using Quick Edit mode
• Adding lists to site pages

NOTE: This guide was created and formatted for Kindle distribution but is being made available in paperback form to provide organizations and IT departments a way of educating their SharePoint user community.
