In the event that you have a set of documents that you
cannot classify by using one of the existing SharePoint content types,
you can create your own content type.
-
On the Site Content Types page, click Create. -
On the New Site Content Type page, enter the name and description of the content type. -
Select a parent content type (you can first select a filtered list from which to choose). -
Click to choose either a new or existing group in which to place
this content type. If you select Existing Group, in the list box,
select the group. -
Click OK.
Caution
Use care if you’re making changes to content types within a site.
Sometimes, you might inadvertently find yourself editing the content
types on the parent site or changing a content type that is used by
another user or group for a critical business function.
-
Click the Add From Existing Site Columns link. -
In the Select Columns From list box, filter the list of columns. In
the Available Columns section, select one or many columns to associate
with the content type. Click Add to associate these columns. -
Click OK.
Tip
Enter relevant names, description text, and groups for your new content types to help drive reuse within your site.
Tip
For content types that will be associated with file
contents (such as Microsoft Office documents), choose to inherit from
an existing parent content type such as the “Document” content type.
