FAQ SharePoint On-Premises Provisoning and Templates
A list of frequently asked questions concerning Templater and SharePoint On-Premises Provisioning.
Does Templater require SharePoint farm admin permissions for installation?
Initial setup requires farm admin rights, which is standard for on-premises service applications.
Can Templater be added to an existing SharePoint on-premises farm?
Templater integrates into existing farms via a service application and does not require structural changes.
Does Templater support classic and modern SharePoint sites?
Templater supports all major SharePoint on-premises versions — SharePoint 2013, 2016, 2019, and Subscription Edition (SE) — and works with both classic and modern site types.
Can workflows be included in SharePoint site templates?
Yes, Templater can include SharePoint workflows and Nintex workflows in templates. These workflows are applied automatically during provisioning and can be managed centrally.
Is Templater suitable for large SharePoint farms with many workspaces?
Templater integrates as a service application, supports automated provisioning and synchronization, and uses timer jobs for efficient updates — making it a good fit for large SharePoint farms.
When should we choose Templater instead of a cloud-based template solution?
Templater is the right choice if you:
– work in a high-security or regulated environment
– need to keep all data on your own servers
– use SharePoint On-Premises instead of SharePoint Online
– require full control over templates, permissions, metadata, and updates
Cloud-based template solutions can’t meet these on-premises or compliance requirements.
Can existing SharePoint workspaces be updated later through template changes?
Existing workspaces can be updated through template synchronization. Changes to navigation, metadata, lists, workflows or structure can be rolled out without manual work.
Does Templater help standardize site structures across departments?
Template-based provisioning, metadata and permission sets help you keep SharePoint structures consistent across teams, projects and business units.
Can Templater manage permissions centrally?
Yes, Templater supports role-based permissions, including granular settings down to list, library, folder, and item level. All defined directly in the template.
Does Templater reduce manual provisioning work?
Automated site and site collection creation replaces manual configuration tasks, saving significant time for IT teams and providing consistent, repeatable results.
Does Templater support metadata and structured hierarchies?
Yes, you can add custom metadata, define workspace relationships, and use webparts such as the Workspace Information or Sub-Workspace Navigation parts to build clear and structured SharePoint environments.
