Lookbook Contracts Site not provisioning
StephenH830 this is a known issue and Microsoft is working on it. The template checks that the user has a syntex user license. I don’t have an ETA but probably a month or two
I'm glad I found out this information. I been over a week at trying to figure out what I was doing wrong. Just in case anyone isn't aware... If you set up a content site.. You can still use the contract template. And if you're wanting the other features that's offered with the syntex contract site. The teams cards walkthrough is available. Goes through setting up teams using json formatting.
- Funny you ask. I've done two so I'm not sure which it was I used the main resource addition. The one that says create a resource and also used app services resource
Finally figured this out.
- Ignore the Lookbook – no bueno
- Setup a Syntex Resource Group in portal.azure.com and attach a subscription.
- Go ahead and create a SharePoint Content Center –
- Go to SharePoint Admin.
- New Site
- More Options
- Site Template – Content Center
- Next, go to O365 Admin – admin.microsoft.com (Make sure you are on an elevated account that can do billing and admin.
- Go to Setup in the left menu.
- Scroll to the Header “Files and Content” and select “Use content AI with Microsoft Syntex”
- Choose “Manage Microsoft Syntex”
- A slide out menu will pop up on the right hand side.
- Select your content center.
- *** See above: If you have not created a content center, go to SharePoint admin and create a site collection. Select “More options” and then choose the template “Content Center” *****
- For the rest of the options – and this was the key – while you are creating the Contracts Template, turn each of the processors on for ALL SHAREPOINT sites. If you restrict it, Syntex blows up and says that there are no sites. This will allow you to create a blank site and then apply the Contracts Template.
- Next go and create your base site. Make sure it is a TEAMS site.
- Once its finished provisioning, go in and change the template – you will see Contracts:
- Hit it! It will take about 2 or 3 minutes.
- Once its finished provisioning, go back to the Admin Center (step 4) and navigate back to Syntex. Change each “Processing” model back to the Contracts Site (otherwise Syntex will show up in every document library and that could be a financial disaster with a crazy clicker – we all have them.
Hopefully that will work….. This wasn’t as straightforward as it should have been.
- Still getting the error message. Syntex has been provisioned per the Resources.
Pre-requirements not fulfilled!
The SharePoint Syntex Contract Managemant template is built on top of SharePoint Syntex and can only be installed if you as a user have a SharePoint Syntex license assigned.- Can't be done from lookbook. Has to be done from sharepoint admin
sbouldin Can you give me the steps to create the contracts template from the SharePoint admin portal? I can't seem to find anything that says contracts template site there.
