Types Of Column.
- Single Line of Text- A column that displays text in a single line—small amounts of differing information—for example, first names, last names, job title, etc.
- Multiple Line of Text- Collects and displays lengthier text on multiple lines. Best used when you need to add more information, such as a description or a comment related to an item. You can read the entire text when viewed in a list or library.
- Number- This is a column for your numerical values . These can be used for storing data for calculations.
- Currency- Similar to the Number column, Currency columns are used for numerical values, but these numbers do represent monetary worth. Choose this column for financial calculations, and calculations that require a high degree of accuracy.
- Yes/No- Like most column titles, this one is fairly straight forward. Here we have a column type to store true/false, yes/no, or other binary type information. Ex. ISActive, OpenNewTab etc.
- People and Group- This column type builds a searchable list of people and groups that users can choose when adding or editing an item in the site. This column is actually a lookup. you can also create own lookup column with column type Lookup.
