Data and lists
• A list is a collection of data stored in columns and rows,
similar to a spreadsheet.
• In many LCAD platforms, the data model often consists of
lists instead of database tables.
• The kind of data stored in each column is determined by you
and can be such things as text, numbers, multiple choice,
currency, dates and times, yes/no, calculated data, and others.
L3a.3 SEHS4701
What is a list in Microsoft 365?
• A list in Microsoft 365 is a collection of data that gives you and your co-
workers a flexible way to organize information. You can create lists in:
– Lists app in Microsoft 365
• Starting from the Lists app in Microsoft 365, you can quickly create a
list from scratch or get inspired by ready-made templates View your
recent and favorite lists no matter where they're stored.
– SharePoint
• Create a list in a SharePoint site. Unlike SharePoint document
libraries, lists are not created by default when you create a site. Add
them wherever you need to.
– Microsoft Teams
• lists are now available in Teams.
• This subject will focus on lists in SharePoint. The concepts and techniques
can be applied to the lists you created using the List application or in Teams.

page, select'+ New' > List.
• Then, select one of the following options:
– Blank list
– From Excel: Choose this option to create a list based on an Excel
spreadsheet.
– From existing list: create a new list based on the columns in another
list. Your new list will start with all the same columns, but without any
data from the original list.
– Templates: Select a template, for example Issue tracker. Then list will
contain the same columns and the same data.

your administrator's setting on lists or document libraries, or if you're using an
different version of SharePoint.

user interface.
