Saving the List As a Template

Part of the beauty of SharePoint is that you can easily reuse your work. In the case of the Problem Reports list, this means you can save the list as a template, and then use that template to create new lists that include your unassigned and alert views, and any other customizations. Saving a list as a template is very similar to saving a site as a template.

To see how this works:

  1. On the list toolbar click Settings → List Settings, and then click "Save list as template" under the Permissions and Management heading. SharePoint displays the Save as Template page.

  2. Enter the settings in Table 4-5 and click OK. SharePoint saves the list as a template and adds it to the site collection's list template gallery.

  3. Click Site Actions → Create, and then click Problem Report Sample 1.0 beneath the Tracking heading to create a test list based on the template.

  4. Add items to the list to verify that it works.
