In
the previous
article we added a content type for rental agreements to
a list and made some other changes to the list and view
settings.
Now, when we have a good list for rental agreements, we
can create a template from it. It will show up among the
other SharePoint app templates, and with such a template
it is easy to create new lists for other kinds of rental
agreements.
You can of course have all the rental agreements in one
list also, but if you have multiple lists you can set different
permissions on them, and users will not be burdened by many
items in one list.
In the demo below Peter Kalmström, CEO and Systems Designer
of kalmstrom.com Business Solutions, shows how to save the
rental agreements list he created in the previous demo as
a list template. The same can of course be done with any
kind of list.
Save a list as a template
Open the list and click on the List settings button
under the LIST tab.
Click on the link 'Save list as a template' in the
Permissions and Management group.
Enter a file name and a template name and click
OK.
Now the template will be saved in the List Templates Gallery.
To create a new list from the template, Add and app and
select the template.
