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. 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. 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 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.
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.
