Accessing Site Columns in SharePoint Designer

Every site in a SharePoint site collection has access to Site Columns, also referred to as the Site Columns Gallery, which you access from the left-hand navigation menu, as shown in Figure 9.27. By default, when SharePoint is installed, a number of default site columns are populated within each site collection. SharePoint Server 2010 includes additional site columns compared to SharePoint Foundation 2010 server, including ratings, records management, publishing and page layout columns, managed metadata, and business intelligence columns.
