Best Practices

  • Create a gallery containing sample lists created from the built-in list templates and any general-purpose custom list templates you create.

  • Use Lookup columns to link lists together and to provide drill-down.

  • Lookups link lists together. Site columns span site boundaries. You combine them to create master lists that cross site boundaries.

  • Use calculated columns to create alert dates within lists. You can then filter on those dates to create views that highlight items before they are overdue.

  • Create a style guide for creating list views. This will help views have a more consistent appearance across sites and save users a lot of time trying out different settings.

  • Avoid Lookup columns when creating lists for reuse as list templates.

  • Restrict permissions as you go deeper into the site hierarchy. Permissions should follow the physical structure.

  • Create a custom default view to display feedback to users after they submit new items.

  • Use a client-side web part to display a conditional message confirming new items.
