Function New-SPRList { <# .SYNOPSIS Creates a new SharePoint list. .DESCRIPTION Creates a new SharePoint list. .PARAMETER Site The address to the site collection. You can also pass a hostname and it'll figure it out. Don't want to specify the Site or Credential every time? Use Connect-SPRSite to create a reusable connection. See Get-Help Connect-SPRsite for more information. .PARAMETER Credential Provide alternative credentials to the site collection. Otherwise, it will use default credentials. .PARAMETER Title The human readable list name. So 'My List' as opposed to 'MyList', unless you named it MyList. .PARAMETER Description The description for the list .PARAMETER Template The SharePoint list template that is used to build the new list. By default, SharePoint "GenericList". This parameter auto-completes for your convenience. .PARAMETER OnQuickLaunch Adds list to Quick Launch .PARAMETER InputObject Allows piping from Connect-SPRSite .PARAMETER WhatIf If this switch is enabled, no actions are performed but informational messages will be displayed that explain what would happen if the command were to run. .PARAMETER Confirm If this switch is enabled, you will be prompted for confirmation before executing any operations that change state. .PARAMETER EnableException By default, when something goes wrong we try to catch it, interpret it and give you a friendly warning message. This avoids overwhelming you with "sea of red" exceptions, but is inconvenient because it basically disables advanced scripting. Using this switch turns this "nice by default" feature off and enables you to catch exceptions with your own try/catch. .EXAMPLE New-SPRList -Site intranet.ad.local -List List1 Creates a list called List1 on intranet.ad.local. Use Add-SPRColumn to add more columns. .EXAMPLE $null = Connect-Site -Site intranet.ad.local New-SPRList -List 'My Announcements' -Template Announcements Creates a resuable connection to intranet.ad.local then uses that to create a new list called My Announcements using the Announcements. Use Get-SPRListTemplate to find out all templates or just tab through the options. .EXAMPLE New-SPRList -Site intranet.ad.local -List 'My List' -Credential ad\user -OnQuickLaunch Creates a list called List1 on intranet.ad.local and logs into the webapp as ad\user.
