- [Instructor] We can also add entirely new applications
not just connections to other content
like Microsoft forums and Microsoft Stream, Power BI,
but also data that we want to store here in our site.
Simply click the Settings,
and choose Add an App,
and we're going to add a custom list
to this particular sale site.
You'll find it right here at the top,
but there are other apps you can add,
Document Libraries, Form Libraries.
If we take a look, for example, at Contacts and Calendar,
you'll find that these applications
will synchronize with Outlook and other compatible programs
which are really pretty cool.
And the Contacts List is close to what I want
for this particular application, but it's not exact.
But I'm going to choose a Custom List.
And this custom list is going to be for...
This is actually for new competing installs,
so as our sales folks are out and other people as well,
and they see a new installation that was done
by somebody, not us, this represents business that we lost,
some of which we may never have even known about.
So I'm going to go open up this new list
that I just created, and all it has in it right now
is a title and the ability to add some columns,
which we're going to do.
So, for the title, we're going to rename Title to Location.
We're going to add a column for a single line of text,
and this is going to be the street address of installation.
We'll tell it yes.
We'll add another column, a single line of text.
And this is going to be the city
and that's really all that we will need,
but we could add a state abbreviation too.
And the default value is going to be
C-A for California,
if California just takes care of that for us.
And then we have two other items that
we want to add.
We want to know what type of installation it is.
And our choices are
Commercial Solar, Commercial Wind,
Commercial Other, Residential Solar,
Residential Wind, Residential Other.
Now, we might've wanted to put this into two columns,
and it depends on how we want to use this information.
We might want to be able to sort purely by
Residential or Commercial,
but right now we think this is how we'd like it to work.
And the default value on this
is going to be the first value, Commercial Solar.
We'll save this choice.
And the last choice is,
who do we think actually did this business?
Competitor name,
if known,
of the installing firm.
There we go.
So we've just created a brand new list.
If someone wants to add an item to this,
they can click New and they can add whatever information
they wish right here, and then save it.
There's a place for Attachments
and that will work just fine for us.
Because they could take a picture,
and when they get back to the office;
they could attach it if they wish.
But we have an even better way to do that,
which would be to create a mobile application
that would support this list.
I'll see you in the next movie.
