Distribute Office templates to the whole farm or tenant
Users will only see the templates they have access to
Most
organizations use templates for different kinds of documents,
to ge consistent branding and document standards. Templates
Manager ensures that users can easily find and use the
correct templates, while administrators control access and
distribution across the entire farm or tenant.
Templates Manager solves two common problems
The difficulty for users to find the correct template
for each occasion.
The difficulty to distribute templates across the
farm or tenant, so that each user gets the templates
he or she needs but nothing more.
Templates
Manager adds a button in all SharePoint document libraries
in the site where Templates Manager is installed.
The SPFx edition adds a floating "avatar" button, while
the WSP edition adds the button to the command bar or ribbon.
When a user clicks on the button, the user will
see all templates that he or she has access to – from the
whole farm or tenant, not only from the current site.
Office files
Templates Manager supports templates for Word, Excel
and PowerPoint documents. These can be either template files
or standard .docx, .xlsx or .pptx files.
Kay features
Templates Manager builds on standard SharePoint features
like SharePoint document libraries, the SharePoint search
crawler and SharePoint permissions.
Centralized template access: Adds a Templates
Manager button to all document libraries in sites
where it is installed.
Displays all templates a user has permission to
access, regardless of storage site.
Works with Word, Excel, and PowerPoint templates
or standard files (.docx, .xlsx, .pptx).
Permission-based distribution: Uses SharePoint libraries
and permissions to control template visibility. Individual
template permissions supported.
Search integration: Leverages SharePoint search
to quickly find templates.
Permissions
The templates are uploaded to document libraries, and by
using different libraries with different permissions, you
can easily direct relevant templates to all users. You can
also set individual permissions of templates in the same
templates library.
The search feature in SharePoint
makes sure that people who have access to a templates library
will get the templates stored there when they click on the
Templates Manager button.
Languages
The language of Templates Manager is automatically
set to the same as the SharePoint site language.
The supported languages are: Arabic, Danish, Dutch,
English, French, German, Italian, Norwegian, Portuguese,
Spanish and Swedish. When the SharePoint site has another
language, Templates Manager will be in English.
The templates may of course be in any language.
The language support limitation is only for the example
data and a few Templates Manager details.
