Templates

Minimum SharePoint site permissions: Site Collection Administrator

Solution Templates deploy preconfigured example libraries that demonstrate the core functionality of Compliance Tracker 365.
They provide a streamlined way to deploy sample content and site configurations, enabling users to quickly evaluate features and adapt them to organisational requirements.

📌 Key Details

  • Each template targets content to all site visitors using personal profiles.
  • This makes content visible by default, but it should be tailored to your needs.
  • Configure terms and profiles to target content to specific roles or interests.

✅ Prerequisites

Before applying a Solution Template, ensure the following components are deployed to a new SharePoint Online site:

  • Compliance Tracker 365 🔗
  • PnP Modern Search and CT365 Search Extension 🔗

🚀 Applying a Solution Template

  1. Navigate to the Management page within Compliance Tracker 365.
  2. Select the Templates tab.
  3. Choose a template and click Apply to initiate deployment.
📂 Deployment Actions

When deployed, the template will:

  • Create a site collection term set.
  • Configure personal profiles.
  • Add sample files and pages to the site.
  • Set the template page as the site’s home page.

⏱️ Note: SharePoint Search indexing can take from a few minutes to several hours in extreme cases.
The deployment dialogue shows how many documents are indexed. If some are complete, you can skip the wait — the remaining documents will appear once indexed.

🎯 Recommendations

  • Select a template that closely aligns with your intended use case.
  • Templates can be customised post-deployment with relevant content, profiles, and terms.
