[Autogenerated] Hi. In this lesson, we're
going to add site columns to a content
type. We're here on our sales team site,
and recently we created a new content type
that ultimately we will add to our sales
proposals Document library. Well, we wanna
edit that content type because right now,
our content type doesn't have really much
going for it. We're going to click on our
settings gear. We're gonna open up the
site information panel, scroll down to the
bottom and click on view all sites
settings takes us here to cite settings
and in the web designer galleries. We're
going to select site content types. We're
gonna click there, and we see all of the
content types that we have available to
us. Now. If we come up here to the upper
right, you see show Group and it's showing
me all the groups, I'm going to select the
drop-down and choose the group that we
created Pierce's content types and there's
my sales proposal content tight. Let's go
ahead. Let's click on that toe, edit IT
and it takes us here to that content type.
Now we're gonna scroll down and we see
that we have two columns in our content
type the name and the title. We always
have that title Don't UI. Now we can add
existing site columns to this content
type, and you may find the columns that
you want right there. But what we're gonna
do instead is we're going to create our
own site columns. So we're going to click
on add from new site columns and you see,
it's just like creating columns in a
SharePoint list. So our first column is
going to be customer, so we're going to
give it a name and it is single line of
text. So that's fine. We don't have to
change anything here, so we're just gonna
scroll down and click. OK, now, this is
very important. You see this pop up? This
column name that you entered is already in
use or reserve. Choose another name, so
that means that either somebody else
created a custom column with that name or
it's a system column that's already in
used. Either way, if you see that, you're
gonna have to give it another name. So
what we're going to do instead is named
this column customer name. That should be
okay. Let's go ahead and click. OK? And
perfect. If we scroll down, there's our
new column. Alright, let's add another
one. All right. Our next column is gonna
be called date submitted and that's gonna
be the date. We submit the proposal and we
will select date in time. In date only
Standard format is fine. We don't need any
of that. So that's OK. And now we see that
column. All right, let's go ahead and
let's add another column. This one is
gonna be decision due date and again, it's
gonna be another date column and
everything is fine. We'll click. OK, Our
content type is really filling out UI
got-to more we want to do this one is
going to be amount and we want that to be
currency. And again everything looks fine.
We-can change the currency format. I'm
based here in the United States, so I'm
gonna leave it at us dollars. But you see,
we have lots of other options. Click. OK,
now the last one is going to be the
decision. IT and this is going to be a
choice and our choices are going to be
undecided, accepted or declined. We wanted
to be a drop down menu. We don't want to
allow fill in choices, and the default
choice can be undecided. Click OK, and
there is our content type. We now have
several custom columns that we added to
this content type. Now we can go ahead and
add IT to our document library. But that's
another lesson for another day. That's it
for this lesson. Thanks for listening, and I'll see you next time.
