Names assigned to new lists should be descriptive to describe the contents of the list, but not too long, to control the length of URLs that point to the list.
Customized lists can be very powerful, and add greatly to the value of site collections and portal areas. Custom lists can be created in standard or datasheet view, and data can be imported from an Excel 2003 spreadsheet if the Import Spreadsheet option is chosen.
New lists may need to be added to the Home page public view. This requires List View Web Parts, and these can be added to the site home page by accessing the Modify Shared Page link, selecting Add Web Parts, and Browse for the list by name.
