Removing Title field from data entry menu from Lists
I've created a SharePoint list and added my columns that I need.
I don't need the Title column so I've made it non mandatory and removed it from the view.
However when I go to add data the Title field is still there?
How do I remove this? It's easy for me to ignore, however when I pass this task down I don't want someone getting confused.
Thank you
Louise
LouiseAspman I assume you mean it's still showing in the list form. To remove it click the New button in the top left, then in the form click the pen & paper icon at the top right, select Edit columns. The columns in your list will be shown and you can de-select the Title column then click Save. Then just click the x in the top right to close the panel. You can also re-order the columns and change the layout of the form.

Can you think of a reason why?
Kindly,

tpalongi You can make the Title column non-required by following the steps:
- Go to your SharePoint list
- Click on Settings (gear) icon from top right corner and select List settings
- From list settings page, scroll down to Columns section and click on Title column. It will open column settings page for Title column
- Set below option to No and click OK button at the bottom page to save the changes:
- Then you can hide the Title column from list form by following the steps given by Rob_Elliott in above responses.
