On the Home tab, click New and select a form from the list.

There are two types of forms you might see on the menu, depending on the design of the Lists tool:

• New, main (top-level) forms. A Lists tool must contain at least one main form.

• Response forms. These are forms used to create items that are hierarchically subordinate to another item. Not all Lists tools include this type of form. Response forms typically have a name such as "Response" or "Comment" to inform you about its form type.

  Note: External lists always have one form and provide only a New button.

Fill in the form fields.

Required fields are denoted by a red asterisk.

Save the item.
