Packaging list to be deployed at client

Question

I have developed a custom list on our sharepoint 2007 site.

I have finished a webpart that will be using this list. I need to be able to package the list as a template, with the specified columns and views with NO data. I am going to deploy a SSIS package that will be updating the list based on some files, so no preset data is necessary.

How do i export my dev-list as a model for the clients production-list?

Answer 1

List Settings > Save list as template > Uncheck "Include Content"
