How to I create a List web part on a SharePoint page

To create a searchable list of application connectors on a SharePoint modern page, use the built-in List web part and a SharePoint list as the data source.

1. Create or prepare the list
   1. Ensure a SharePoint list exists on the same site as the page (for example, a custom list with columns like Connector Name, System, Owner, Status). If needed, create one using the standard list creation process.
   2. (Optional) Create a custom view of the list that shows the columns and filters needed for the page. This view will be used by the web part.
2. Add the list to a modern page using the List web part
   1. Go to the SharePoint page where the list should appear.
   2. If the page is not already in edit mode, select Edit at the top right of the page.
   3. Hover above or below an existing web part until a line with a circled + appears, then select +.
   4. In the web part picker, scroll to the Documents, Lists, and Libraries section and select List.
   5. From the list of available lists, select the application connectors list.
   6. If satisfied, select Save as draft, then Publish to make the page available to others.
3. Configure the List web part
   1. With the page still in edit mode, select the List web part and choose Edit properties (web part settings).
   2. Set:
      • Title: e.g., “Application Connectors”.
      • List: confirm the correct list is selected.
      • View: choose the custom view created earlier (or the default view).
      • Size: adjust height/width as needed.
4. Enable search-like interaction (filtering, sorting, grouping)
   1. In SharePoint in Microsoft 365, users can interact with the list directly in the web part:
      • Select the down arrow on a column header to Sort, Filter, or Group items.
   2. Users can select See all to open the full list page, where they can use additional list filtering and search capabilities.
5. Maintain and extend the list
   1. To add new connectors, select + New at the top of the list.
   2. Use column formatting or attention views if needed to highlight important connectors or issues.

This approach uses the native List web part, providing a searchable, filterable list experience on a modern SharePoint page without custom code.
