When you click the create button,

00:00:07

5 tiles are offered,

00:00:09

allowing you to define the visual aspect of the list based on your needs.

00:00:13

Let us review what can be done after specifying a name and a storage location.

00:00:18

In this example,

00:00:19

I am creating a team project tracking list which I choose

00:00:22

to store in a collaborative space such as Teams or SharePoint

00:00:26

to make it easily accessible to my colleagues.

00:00:29

The enabled toggle will allow the list to appear as a direct access item

00:00:34

in the navigation menu of my SharePoint site

00:00:37

for all members.

00:00:39

As we can see here,

00:00:40

the list will be created,

00:00:41

and I will then need to configure the columns and their types.

00:00:46

The second tile,

00:00:47

Form is based on Microsoft forms to populate my list.

00:00:51

This provides certain advantages which will be discussed in another video.

00:00:57

The gallery list type is optimized for highlighting media,

00:01:00

such as a team directory displayed in card format.

00:01:05

If your list is focused on planning or organizing events,

00:01:08

the calendar type may be a good choice.

00:01:12

The board view is designed by default to help with categorization,

00:01:17

making it useful for organizing ideas,

00:01:19

for example.

00:01:20

Note that all these views are only starting points.

00:01:23

Everything is adaptable and customizable.

00:01:27

Thus,

00:01:27

a calendar template can be personalized by adding a

00:01:30

standard list view and switching between views as needed.
