Content Types, Introduction
A SharePoint Online tutorial by Peter Kalmström
 The
best way to make sure that a SharePoint document library
will contain the desired content and be managed in a consistent
way, is to use a content type – a reusable collection
of metadata columns and settings that describe the shared
attributes and behaviors for a specific kind of content.
Such content types can be defined for any item type, including
documents, list items, media files, and folders.
The image shows a document created in a library connected
to a Quotes content type. This content type uses a Word
template with a table where metadata can be easily selected.
When you create a new document in this library, the metadata
columns will be visible. When you print the finished document
they will also be included.
In the following demos Peter Kalmström, CEO and Systems
Designer of kalmstrom.com Business Solutions, will explain
how a content type can be used with a Quotes library.
He first creates a new content type, and connects it to
a SharePoint document library. Then he creates a Word template
(with the table shown in the image above) and adds it to
the same library.
