Use
SharePoint to automate the distribution of phone messages
within an organization. This is the third article in a series,
and in the demo below Peter Kalmstrom, CEO and Systems Designer
of kalmstrom.com Business Solutions, creates new items in
the simple SharePoint list app for phone messages that he
created in the previous
demo.
Peter shows how to create new list items in three ways:
With the +new item link
With the New Item button under the ribbbon ITEMS
tab
In the Quick Edit/Datasheet view
After that Peter explains how to create a new view just
for entering new items. In this Entry view he uses the Datasheet
view type, and he hides the Returned column as no new items
have been responded yet.
Peter also filters the items so that only items with the
ID 0 are shown. As there are no such items, no existing
items will be shown in this view. It is only to be used
for entering new phone messages.
In the
next article we will create more useful views for the
Phone Messages list.
