Lists
Your team can fill the following built-in lists with information and customize the lists if desired. You can also create a new list that is either based on a built-in list or custom-designed. If you have a Windows SharePoint Services-compatible spreadsheet program, such as Microsoft Excel 2002, and Microsoft Internet Explorer 5 or later installed, you can create lists that are based on spreadsheets.
- Announcements The announcements list is a place to post information for the team. By default, a view of the announcements list appears on the home page.
- Contacts The contacts list stores information such as name, telephone number, e-mail address, and street address for people who work with your team. By default, a hyperlink to the contacts list appears on the Quick Launch bar.
- Events The events list is a place to post important dates. By default, a view of the events list appears on the home page.
- Links The links list displays hyperlinks to Web pages of interest to team members. By default, a view of the links list appears on the home page.
- Tasks The tasks list provides a to-do list for team members. By default, a hyperlink to the tasks list appears on the Quick Launch bar.
Libraries
Document, picture, and form libraries are collections of files that you share with team members. A library appears on a page that lists each file and its properties, as well as a hyperlink to the file. You can set up a template for a document library so that all files created in a library share common features. By default, your site comes with a built-in document library named Shared Documents, which is listed on the Quick Launch bar as well as on the Document Libraries page.
Discussion boards
Discussion boards provide a forum for conversing about topics that interest your team. Team members can post comments and reply to others' comments, reducing the need for widely distributed e-mail threads.
Surveys
Surveys provide a way of polling team members. All you need to do is specify the questions and define how team members will enter their answers.
