1
00:00:03,940 --> 00:00:05,160
[Autogenerated] high in this lesson. I'm

2
00:00:05,160 --> 00:00:07,740
gonna show you how to add a choice column

3
00:00:07,740 --> 00:00:09,890
to a list. And I also want to add that

4
00:00:09,890 --> 00:00:11,980
this process is the same with the

5
00:00:11,980 --> 00:00:14,440
SharePoint library. We're gonna go to our

6
00:00:14,440 --> 00:00:18,570
employees list and we're going to add that

7
00:00:18,570 --> 00:00:20,820
new column. The choice column and what

8
00:00:20,820 --> 00:00:23,710
we're going to do is create a column for

9
00:00:23,710 --> 00:00:27,030
the employment status of our employees

10
00:00:27,030 --> 00:00:30,150
were gonna go here to AD Column. We're

11
00:00:30,150 --> 00:00:32,950
gonna click on that and go down the list

12
00:00:32,950 --> 00:00:37,770
to we find choice. Once we open that, we

13
00:00:37,770 --> 00:00:39,890
get the panel, appear to create a column

14
00:00:39,890 --> 00:00:42,010
on the right, and we have to give our

15
00:00:42,010 --> 00:00:44,260
column a name. It is a required field.

16
00:00:44,260 --> 00:00:46,920
You'll see the little red asterisk there.

17
00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:50,270
So what we need to do is give it a name

18
00:00:50,270 --> 00:00:52,720
and we're going to Like I said, call it

19
00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:58,820
employment status. We can go ahead and

20
00:00:58,820 --> 00:01:01,300
give it a description if we want, and the

21
00:01:01,300 --> 00:01:03,620
type is choice. That's what we selected.

22
00:01:03,620 --> 00:01:07,390
Now we have to enter in the choices we

23
00:01:07,390 --> 00:01:10,310
don't have to do. Three. We can do 1 to 10

24
00:01:10,310 --> 00:01:12,240
whatever it is, but it's gonna create a

25
00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:15,110
drop down list Now we just so happen to

26
00:01:15,110 --> 00:01:18,110
Onley have three choices and they're going

27
00:01:18,110 --> 00:01:32,040
to be full time, part time and contract

28
00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:34,720
now. Do we want people to add values

29
00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:36,420
manually? Do we want to give them the

30
00:01:36,420 --> 00:01:38,880
opportunity to add in their own value? In

31
00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:40,840
this case, I'm going to say no. But it is

32
00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:44,040
there. Do we wanna have a default value?

33
00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:46,700
Well, we're gonna by default, say none,

34
00:01:46,700 --> 00:01:49,460
but we could choose to show one of these

35
00:01:49,460 --> 00:01:53,050
other ones by default. Now, we're also

36
00:01:53,050 --> 00:01:56,300
going to go ahead and click on more

37
00:01:56,300 --> 00:01:59,050
options so that we can see what other

38
00:01:59,050 --> 00:02:01,490
options that we have. We have the choice

39
00:02:01,490 --> 00:02:05,250
of a drop down menu or a radio button. Now

40
00:02:05,250 --> 00:02:07,030
I like the drop down menu. So that's what

41
00:02:07,030 --> 00:02:09,540
we're going to stick with. Do we want to

42
00:02:09,540 --> 00:02:11,640
allow multiple selections that we want

43
00:02:11,640 --> 00:02:14,640
people to be able to select Maur options?

44
00:02:14,640 --> 00:02:16,510
This would be great if you had the radio

45
00:02:16,510 --> 00:02:19,180
button, but we just want one. So we're

46
00:02:19,180 --> 00:02:20,790
gonna leave that off and do we want to

47
00:02:20,790 --> 00:02:23,200
require that this column contains

48
00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:27,240
information Yes or no? Well, we're going

49
00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:30,040
to say yes for this one, and then do we

50
00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:32,570
want to enforce unique values. No, no, no,

51
00:02:32,570 --> 00:02:35,010
no, no. Because there's gonna be a lot of

52
00:02:35,010 --> 00:02:37,510
people in each of these categories and we

53
00:02:37,510 --> 00:02:39,480
want to add this to all content types were

54
00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:44,940
going to say yes and we'll click, save.

55
00:02:44,940 --> 00:02:48,590
And there is our new column. Now, we don't

56
00:02:48,590 --> 00:02:51,220
have any information in it. And I know we

57
00:02:51,220 --> 00:02:54,010
said this was supposed to be a required

58
00:02:54,010 --> 00:02:55,770
column. Well, let's go ahead and see what

59
00:02:55,770 --> 00:02:59,610
happens when we refresh the page. Oh, boy,

60
00:02:59,610 --> 00:03:01,590
we got a yellow line here. That's an

61
00:03:01,590 --> 00:03:06,360
indicator. If we scroll over, we have this

62
00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:09,500
yellow informational box here that says

63
00:03:09,500 --> 00:03:13,740
this is required info. If we click on it,

64
00:03:13,740 --> 00:03:15,910
we see that this item is missing required

65
00:03:15,910 --> 00:03:18,980
information. And if we scroll down, we'll

66
00:03:18,980 --> 00:03:21,880
see here that the employment status is

67
00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:24,480
there, Select an option and we can click

68
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:28,040
on that. And Michael here, we know is full

69
00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:31,970
time. So we will turn that off and we see

70
00:03:31,970 --> 00:03:35,280
that it is there now, Now we have a lot of

71
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:37,050
these records that we have to do. But

72
00:03:37,050 --> 00:03:39,490
rather than open up each one of these

73
00:03:39,490 --> 00:03:43,410
individually and making that choice a

74
00:03:43,410 --> 00:03:46,980
really good thing, to do and let me get

75
00:03:46,980 --> 00:03:50,330
here so I can uncheck Michael is to use

76
00:03:50,330 --> 00:03:56,550
quick edit. And now I can just go down

77
00:03:56,550 --> 00:04:03,680
this way and select those individual

78
00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:08,120
values from the dropdown like this. And if

79
00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:13,970
we said I won't say here, let's get here.

80
00:04:13,970 --> 00:04:16,900
Let's say that this person is part time

81
00:04:16,900 --> 00:04:22,510
and the next four people are part time. I

82
00:04:22,510 --> 00:04:25,700
can grab that handle and Phil down just

83
00:04:25,700 --> 00:04:33,080
like a can with Excel. Let's exit quick

84
00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:38,940
edit and let's see what happens when we

85
00:04:38,940 --> 00:04:42,230
create a new item. We see that when we

86
00:04:42,230 --> 00:04:44,240
come down to the employment status, if we

87
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:46,720
click there, we have our drop down list

88
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:49,980
again and we can choose whichever one of

89
00:04:49,980 --> 00:04:54,040
those we want. So now you know how to add

90
00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:57,860
a choice column to a SharePoint list.

91
00:04:57,860 --> 00:05:06,000
Thanks for listening, and I'll see you next time
