As the demand for incorporating SharePoint as a data source for building applications is rapidly increasing, it's time now to develop skills in this field. The article is a very basic introduction to SharePoint and focuses on creating tables.

Give the name to you List (These are the tables under your Site)

 

That's it !. You have your table ready. Now you can either use the predefined columns by SharePoint or create your own custom columns along with the data type of column and store the data.

 

Step 4 - Creating Columns

 

Once you click on Add Column, you will see options to create and customize your columns.

 

Step 5 - Customizing the view of your table

 

Click on the All Items and select Edit Current View

 

 

In the next page, you can see many options for editing the columns, where you can arrange the order of the columns, a number of items to display, etc.
