SharePoint Basics: Create Your Own Glossary – Video 📽️

  • by

Sometimes, it’s great to get back to the basics, don’t you think?

Let’s talk about SharePoint lists. They’ve actually been around since the early versions of SharePoint, but they’re often overlooked. The beauty of these lists is that they work like mini spreadsheets, allowing for incredible flexibility, especially when you have tons of entries. Imagine having a long page that you can’t filter or sort versus a SharePoint list where you can do all of that and more!

In this tutorial, I’ll guide you through the process step by step.

First, we’ll learn how to navigate to the site content and create a new list. Then, we’ll dive into customising the columns. We’ll change the name of the default column and add a new one for explanations or meanings. We’ll even set it up as a multiple-line text, making it more convenient for you. Along the way, I’ll show you how to add entries to your glossary and format the view. By the time you finish watching this video, you’ll have your very own fully functional glossary in SharePoint.

All that in 7 minutes, that’s sometimes shorter than preparing a spreadsheet!
So .. Do you not think that SharePoint lists can still be useful ?
