Messages and warnings
Warning: Search index not in sync. Continue with caution or refresh the page in a couple of minutes.
Compliance Tracker 365 leverages SharePoint inbuilt search indexes to retrieve data. For new sites, search may take up to 1 hour to start to index content. During this time, a message is displayed in the Management page.
You can continue to configure the Compliance Tracker 365 by adding a license, terms and profiles. Content can be tagged for reading BUT results will not show in My Reads until the message disappears.
Once the message disappears, results should be displayed correctly under Reports > Summary report details and Reports > Search index status.
User Profiles are still being indexed by search.
User profiles are returned by search. If the search index is not up to date, you will see a warning message. Click Skip search check to load profiles directly from the profiles list. This may take more time but it will ensure the most up to date profiles are used.
It looks like there was a small glitch. If you see this again, please contact the site owner.
This message is displayed if the reader does not have contribute access to their folder.
If the message continues, check the user has access to their log folder.
- Open the CT User Profile list from Site contents in the site that manages profiles. You can find the profile management site under the Management > Terms or Management > Profiles tab.
- To the top of the page in the CT User Profile list, search for the user name/email address of the person seeing the message.
- Open their profile entry and remove the text from the User Details. This will reapply permissions next scheduled run.
‘Site Pages’ can’t be found. Setup stopped.

General troubleshooting
Expected documents/pages not displayed in My Reads web part.
Check the following:
- Tracker type is not set to hidden. Confirm by looking at the Tracker Type value in the library.
- Make sure the document or page is published as a major version.
- Mandatory or Optional tags are set correctly for the reader. Confirm by looking at the Mandatory or Optional in the library.
- That the file has not already been read. Look for the file under Contents I’ve read.
- Make sure readers have access to content. User Profiles do not automatically grant permissions to content.
- Make sure content is indexed. Check the expected number of profiles and documents are displayed under Summary report details in Management > Report. If content is missing, you may need to wait, republish pages or raise a support ticket with Microsoft.
No terms available for selection under the Mandatory or Optional fields
Use Manage > Terms to configure and select the terms set.
Use Management > App > Reset to update Compliance Tracker 365 configuration
