The Compliance Tracker 365 application can be deployed to either a Tenant App Catalog or a Site Collection App Catalog. The following sections will help you decide which option is best for you.
Tenant App Catalog
The Tenant App Catalog is a central location for administrators to manage and deploy custom apps. There is only one Tenant App Catalog per tenant. Apps deployed to the Tenant App Catalog are available to all sites in the tenant.
If you are a SharePoint Administrator, you can deploy the app directly to the Tenant App Catalog by following the steps below:
- Open or navigate to SharePoint admin centre > More Features
- Click the Open button under the Apps heading.
- Open the SharePoint Store
- Search for Compliance Tracker and select Compliance Tracker 365
- Click Add to Apps site and click Add to confirm data access requirements. SharePoint API’s will next need to be approved by an Administrator.
Alternate tenant deployment steps are to deploy via App Source.
Site Collection App Catalog
Rather than deploying to the Tenant App Catalog, a SharePoint Administrator can create an App Catalog for an individual site collection. Once created, users with full control access to that site collection can add and remove apps for that site collection.
This option is useful if you want to limit the availability of the Compliance Tracker 365 application to a specific site collection.
