Settings question

Hello BkkBound ,

That is a great question! 

The "Used in" is referring to a content type.

Within a site, you have a lot of columns/fields by default. When you create a document library, list or even a news article, you will notice that a lot of fields show up by default. This is because SharePoint in the "back-end" tells the specific content area that a certain content type is applied. A content type is like a set group of columns. 

So, if you create your own custom content type: "BkkBound task management". You will then be able to insert any column within. Let say that you have the following:

1. Initative - text field
2. Deadline - date field
3. Project leader - user field
4. Milestones - choice field

Now, whenever you create a new SharePoint list. Instead of adding all the fields manually. You just add the content type, and the fields will be applied by default. 

I hope this made sense, if not, I can try to explain it better😅

If this was helpful, please mark as best reply 🙂

Yours sincerely,
Aref Halmstrand
