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

To apply a Solution Template:

  1. Navigate to the Management page within Compliance Tracker 365.
  2. Select the Solution Template section.
  3. Choose a template and initiate deployment.

Upon deployment, 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.

SharePoint Search can take from a couple of minutes to a couple of hours (in extreme cases) to index content. The template deployment dialogue indicates how many documents are indexed. If you see a few complete, you can skip the wait. Once the others are indexed, they will appear on the page.


It is recommended to select a template that closely aligns with your intended use case. Templates can be customised post-deployment with relevant content, profiles and terms.
