Hi.

I am using sharepoint 2013 and we have created a few sites to help with the day to day running of the business. I now need to share 4 lists that I have with all the other sites. Is this possible? As at the oment when I go to add a lookup column it will only let me lookup lists from within the current site, and wont let me access the list from the other site.

Is this possibe? Bearing in mind that I am an end user as we no longer have an IT department to support.

Thanks

You can create a list at site S, then use Site columns to access that list from subsites S1,S2… of site S.

Practically, you hierarchy will be like this:

Sharepoint server:
- http://sharepoint/
Parent site with ‘shared’ lists:
- http://sharepoint/sites/it_department
Sites that can access that lists:
- http://sharepoint/sites/it_department/projectgroup_1
- http://sharepoint/sites/it_department/teamblog
- http://sharepoint/sites/it_department/audit_2015
