Site
A site is a group of related Web pages where you can work on projects, conduct meetings, and share information.
All SharePoint sites have common elements that you should know about to get started: lists, libraries, Web
Parts, and views.
Lists
A list is a Web site component where your organization can store, share, and manage information. For
example, you can create a task list to track work assignments or track team events on a calendar. You can also
conduct a survey or host discussions on a discussion board.
Libraries
A library is a special type of list that stores files as well as information about files. You can control how files are
viewed, tracked, managed, and created in libraries.

Views
You can use views to see the items in a list or library that are most important to you or that best fit a purpose. For
example, you can create a view of all the items in a list that apply to a specific department, or to highlight particular
documents in a library. You can create multiple views of a list or library that people can select from. You can also
use a Web Part to display a view of a list or library on a separate page of your site.
Web Parts
A Web Part is a modular unit of information that forms a basic building block of most pages on a site. If you have
permission to edit pages on your site, you can use Web Parts to customize your site to display pictures and
charts, portions of other Web pages, lists of documents, customized views of business data, and more.
Content Type
A content type is a reusable collection of settings for a category of items or documents in a Share Point list or
document library. Content types enable you to manage the settings for a category of information in a
centralized, reusable way.
