Working with Lists

(This page may be slow loading)

You can make a list on your group of just about anything from web links to recipes. The key is to set up your list according to your needs, giving it a proper name, and checking your *security levels by choosing the appropriate permissions.

* I highly recommend that you set your permissions level before customizing your new list.

Go to Managers Tools > Add a Page > A List

It will take you here.

You need to decide what kind of list you'll need. Samples of optional lists are given.

For this tutorial we will use, 'Add a Book Recommendations List'.

Type a name for your list, and then click on "Create this List".

Once your List page is ready, click on the word 'More...'

Then click on 'Change the Settings'.

Your page should look like the large graphic below now.

Decide if you want your page to look like the 'List View' or Details View'.

Click in the circle for your preference.

Place a number in the box to show how many items you want listed on each page.

Default Sort Order, depends on whether or not you want your newly added items to go on the bottom of your list or the top.

*Editing Permissions -- This is very important! If you choose the wrong settings, other members can delete items in your list.

Item Names -- Find a name that coincides with your list.

You may edit these settings at any time.

To change the Columns, click on that instead of settings. Play with it until it suits your needs. If you need a better look at what you can do with your new list...add something to it, and see if it works.
