[Autogenerated] hi And this lesson, we're
gonna show you how to have a choice column
to a library. I also want to add that this
process would be the same in a SharePoint
list. We're gonna go to our resume library
and the resume library, like the name
suggests, contains resumes. And these
resumes have come in from outside the
organization, and we want to review them
and decide which departments to send them
to. So we're going to add a column that
will tell us where these need to go to
which departments these would be
appropriate for. So we're gonna click on
the ad column button and you see that we
have the option for choice. Now, I don't
want to do this because sometimes when you
choose one of these options in here, you
don't always get all of the options that
are available to you or all of the
information. So what I like to do instead
is come down here to the more button click
there, and it brings me here to the
settings create column page. Now, I can
also go ahead and get there another way.
I'm going to go back to my resume library.
I can go up here to the top, to the
settings gear. And when I click on
settings, I didn't go to library settings
and then here in library settings, I can
scroll all the way down and choose Create
column, and it brings me to the same
place. Now the first thing you want to do
is select the type of column that you want
to create. Because once you do that and we
want where is a choice? The page is going
to refresh so that you get all of the
appropriate options for that type of
column and you see those here? If you put
in the column name and then choose the
column, you're gonna lose the column name.
So now we're gonna go ahead and add the
column. Name it. All right. We can add a
description if we want, but we're gonna
pass on that. Do we want to require that
this column contains information we're
going to say no. Do we want to enforce and
unique values will say no. We have to type
each of our choices on a separate line.
You see, we have choices 12 and three, but
That's not exactly what we want is that we
have to add in what we want. So we're
going to say operations, finance,
marketing. But say sales and I t. How
about that now? The display choices using
what option do we want to use drop down
menu? That's exactly what it says. It's a
little menu, and you can pick which one
you want. Radio _______, Which, if you
don't know what radio _______, That's what
these are here, these little circles.
These are radio _______. Choose what
everyone you want or do you want check
boxes, which will allow for multiple
selections. It's the only one that will
allow for multiple selection. So that is
the one that I want. I'm gonna go ahead
and choose check boxes to allow multiple
selections. Do we want to allow fill and
choices yester? No, I'm going to say yes.
This will allow people to write in
something that's not on the list now. The
default value choices operations. Now I
wanted to be blank, but if you just do
this, it's gonna be operations again,
because that's the original one. What you
have to do is I'm gonna go up here before
operations and enter so that there is a
blank. No, and that will be the default
choice. No choice. All right, so we're
good to go. We're gonna click. Okay, let's
go back to our resume library. And now we
see our department column and you see
there's no choice there. But if we go
ahead, let's select this first document
will click on this show actions, and let's
go to details. Now, when we do this, the
information panel opens up over here on
the right, and you see, we have a preview
of the document. We don't get that in a
list because there are documents. It's
just list items. But if we come down here
and scroll down, we see all of our
properties. And when we come down to
department, it says select options because
we had that blank line. If I didn't, it
would say operations. Well, I click in
their in their are my choices. This my
check boxes. So let's go ahead. Let's say
that this one might be good for
operations, and if we want to add another
choice, we just click in here again. And
let's say operations and maybe finance.
Well, go ahead. We'll close the
information panel. You'll see that we can
click there and there's our choices,
operations and finance. Now let's go here
and let's select this 11 check that will
open up the information panel again.
There's a preview. And if we come down
department, let's say that we want to add
our own choice. Well, lookit. Here we have
our insertion tool here and ah, blank
road. That's where we can enter in our
choice that we want to enter in manually.
So let's go ahead. And let's say that this
is somebody who could be in the
development department and I click away.
See that department development? Close
that up, and there it is. So you can add
your own choices manually, select multiple
choices or just select a single choice.
Let's go ahead and let's just do that for
this one. Let's just say this one is good
for I T. And there you have it. So now you
know how to add a choice column to
library. Thanks for listening, and I'll see you next time
