How to Create Site Column in SharePoint 2013

Hi Friends,

Today i will describe  you about the site columns in SharePoint 2010,2013.


  Site Column :
  A Column which can  be created at root site level and can be accessible inside all the available child sites or Sub Site 's Lists or Document Libraries  under the root site .

Purpose :
   Some  times we get a situation where some columns inside lists or doc libraries needs to be created multiple times and  use them. So at that time  instead of creating a column inside of each and every list simply we can create a site Column at root site level .
Then we can use the site column just by adding to list .


Please find the below steps for creating Site Column using Out of feature .

select settings Icon --->Site Settings

Under Designer Galleries  --Click on Site Column


By Default we can see all the list of Site Columns provided by SharePoint . 
To Create a new site column . Click on Create


 Give Column Name and select  Data Type for the column



Here , If we want to create a new group we can also create new group or we can use existing group but for our understanding i have created a new gropName "NewSiteColumn"



Now you can see , newly created group (newSiteColumnGroup) along with Site Column.



Now we add the Site Column to  your list say (Student List created already ).

Select list -->Click on List Settings





Click on Add From exsiting  site columns  and click on OK

 
 Now go the  List and click on add new item .

You will  be seen the Site Column.as below .


This is how we create new  Site Columns in SharePoint 2010, 2013 .
