SharePoint Flex is a flexible relationship and information management system that can be further extended in a variety of ways.
With over 200 features and functions – most that can be switched on or off within our Advanced Flex Settings list and/or configured with the lists, forms and sub grids – SharePoint Flex can readily adapt and support many business requirements.
If your list is being used as a Read Only or Lookup list then your effort in creating the list will be limited compared to an Embedded list which interacts with other Flex items and requires therefore a number of additional steps to be taken.
Types of Custom Lists & Pages:
- Read/Display Only
- LookUp List
- Embedded Flex List
- Reporting Pages
- Private Pages
The following sections will identify the differences between a Display Only, LookUp or Embedded List type. Also covered in this section is SharePoint Web Part pages which can be used for Reporting Charts and Graphs and for Dashboard purposes.
