SharePoint : Lists module in Kentico
Hi,

I am searching for a module in Kentico 5.x which can work same as Lists in SharePoint 2010.

Anyone who knows functionalists of Lists in SharePoint please tell me is there any similar module in Kentico.

Hi,

We have a Custom tables module, which is similar to the Lists module in SharePoint.

The Custom tables module allows users to create their own tables in the system database and manage data in them via Kentico CMS user interface, without the need to use Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio or any other database management tool. This may come in handy in many scenarios, typically when you need to store a large number of structured data items, for which standard Kentico CMS documents are not efficient. Another typical scenario may be development of your custom modules, as you can store module data in custom tables and access them conveniently from your code using the provided API.

For more information about the Custom tables module please follow the link below:

Best regards,
Jan Hermann

Thanks Janh for the reply.

Do you want to say we can use custom tables module to create new table for list module and then develop custom list module according to our requirement?

Hi,

Exactly, you can design and create a data structure by using the custom table module, which will be represented as a table / tables in your database and then develop module or webpart, that will be able to store or get data from it through our API.

Best regards,
