Add Meeting Content Type to a List
A SharePoint Online tutorial by Peter Kalmström
 In
a series of articles Peter Kalmstrom, CEO and Systems Designer
of kalmstrom.com Business Solutions, is showing a way to
use SharePoint to automate taking meeting notes and handling
meetings and meeting decisions in general.
In an
earlier
demo Peter created a Meeting content type based on the Item content type and added the columns he
needed to it.
In the demo below Peter describes how to add this content
type to a list.
Peter has created his content type in the Content Type Hub.
When you do that, you don't need to create new content types
for each site collection. Today, content types can more
easily be created from the SharePoint Admin center >Content
Type Gallery, which is connected to the Content Type Hub.
Add a content type to a SharePoint list
- Create a new app based on the Custom template and
make your preferred changes to it. (Peter adds the list
to the Quick Launch and enables version history.)
- Allow management of content types under List Settings >Advanced
settings.
- In the new Content Type group in the list settings,
click on the link 'Add from existing site content types'.
- Add the Meeting content type.
- Remove the default content type, Item.
- Make any view changes you prefer. Peter also makes
the Department field default, as the list is used in
a team site for one department.
