Give the templates users need – central distribution
to the whole organization
Most
organizations use templates for different kinds of documents.
When there are many templates, it may be difficult for users
to find the correct template for each occasion.
Another issue is 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 solves these problems. This kalmstrom.com
Solution adds a button to the command bar or ribbon in all
SharePoint document libraries in the site where Templates
Manager is installed.
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.
Standard SharePoint featurs
Templates Manager builds on SharePoint document libraries,
the SharePoint search crawler and SharePoint 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 a few Templates Manager
buttons.
