Templating a spoke

You can designate a spoke workplace as a template to create new spokes using the same structure in the Networked Enterprise. Digital workplaces with structures you want to reuse for consistency are ideal templates.

Considerations

  • Hub workplaces: The hub workplace cannot be templated.
  • Template content: A template contains information about a workplace structure but does not include any content or users. The following is included:
    • All site structure
    • Groups
    • Sign in settings
    • Session timeout
    • Social media sites
    • Localization
    • Theming (public themes)
    • Headers & footers
    • Custom profile fields
    • Profile fields (component set)
    • Labels
    • Optional: channel content (excluding events and tasks)
    The following is not included:
    • Archive policies
    • Users
    • Public registration settings
    • Community bookmarks
    • Tasks & task comments

Who can do this?

  • Enterprise administrators
