Create a List in SharePoint Designer 2013
A SharePoint Workflows tutorial by Peter Kalmström
 Instead
of creating new lists in the web browser interface you can
use SharePoint Designer 2013. It is quicker and saves you
some clicks and loading of new pages.
In the demo below Peter Kalmström, CEO and Systems Designer
of kalmstrom.com Business Solutions, shows how to create
a new Contacts list in SharePoint Designer 2013.
Create a list in SharePoint Designer
- In SharePoint Designer, click on 'Open Site'.
- Paste or write in the URL to the site where you
want to create a new list. Note that only the first
part of the URL you see when you open the site should
be entered.
- Click on 'Open'.
- Click on the SharePoint List button in the ribbon.
- Select the list type you want to use.
- Give the list a name (and a description) and click
OK.
Now the list options are shown on the SharePoint Designer
summary page, and you can customize your list more quickly
than in SharePoint. You can select settings options and
add, remove and edit columns.
When you have the list open in SharePoint Designer you can
preview the list in the browser by pressing F12 on the keyboard
or using the preview button above the ribbon.
