Managing Sites with Collections

SharePoint site collections, sites and lists can be grouped in collections.

Migrating large numbers of SharePoint site collections requires careful planing. The site collections could belong to different offices and geographical locations or sensitive departments. Organize the SharePoint site collections into logical groups called collections to make large SharePoint site collections more manageable. SharePoint sites, webs and lists can be grouped in collections.

Working with the Collection Dashboard

The Collection Dashboard shows the collection-specific summary, allows you to see SharePoint site collections added to it, create tasks for them, and monitor the progress of tasks.

  • To view the collection dashboard for an existing collection
    1. Log in to Quest On Demand and choose an organization if you have multiple organizations.
    2. From the navigation pane, click Migration to open the My Projects list.
    3. Create a new project or open an existing project.
    4. From the project dashboard, click Open in the SharePoint tile to open the SharePoint workspace.
    5. From the top-right corner of the workspace, click Select Collection and then select the collection to view. The collection Dashboard is displayed.
    6. Click the SharePoint Contents tab. You will see the list of SharePoint site collections that belong to the collection.
  • To see the tasks for collection-specific sites, use the corresponding tile on the collection Dashboard or open the Tasks tab.
  • To see the events related to the collection, use the corresponding widget on the collection Dashboard or open the Events tab.
  • To rename or delete the collection, click the corresponding buttons in the toolbar.
  • To return to the project dashboard, click the project name in the navigation bar.

Adding SharePoint site collections to Collections

  4. From the actions toolbar, click New Collection. The New Collection dialog opens.

  • Multiple collections can be created with the same CSV file.

Mapping Webs

Webs or sub-sites that have not been migrated can be renamed, mapped to a different parent, or promoted to a site in the target tenant. When these objects are migrated, they will be renamed, relocated to the new parent or promoted to a site. The web is retained in the source tenant but set as Relocated (ie., not migratable)

The conditions for mapping a web to another web are as follows:

  • Web has not been previously migrated.
  • Web is not a root web.

If a web is promoted to a site, then:

  • Site must have a new name.
  • A new site and member objects are cloned form the web's parent site.
  • Web is cloned as the root web of the new site.
  • Children of the web are re-parented under the cloned web.
  • Migrate the new site to complete the migration of the promoted web

Example: Consider the promotion of a web (\sites\HR\Benefits) to a site (\sites\HR-Benefits). When the task completes, the SharePoint Contents list will display the following:

Type Name Source URL Target URL
Site HR \sites\HR  
Web HR \sites\HR  
Site HR-Benefits \sites\HR \sites\HR-Benefit
Web HR-Benefits \sites\HR \sites\HR-Benefit

Limitations

  • Links from the source web may not be updated on target. For example, links to the old parent.
  • For webs with unique SP Groups the groups may be duplicated.

To map a web

  1. Open the SharePoint contents tab and locate the list. You can use the list filter Type = Web to narrow down your search.
  2. Select a web that has not been migrated. You can select only one web at a time. Then click Map Web from the list detail pane.

  3. The New Web Mapping Task wizard starts. Specify the information in the steps described below:

  4. Step 1: Map Settings
    1. Promote this web to a site collection - select this option to promote the web to a site. Webs with unsupported templates cannot have the template remapped and be promoted to site, so this setting will is displayed if the selected web has a supported template.
    2. Specify the new name and relative url
      • New Target Web Name - specify the new name of the target web if necessary, or retain the original name if you want to relocate the web.
      • New Target Url - Enter the new relative url of the web if you plan to relocate the web. This option is not available if the web is promoted to a site.
    3. Specify a supported target web template. This option is available if the selected site has an unsupported template.

      NOTE:

      To find webs with unsupported web templates, clear the filters in the search ribbon. Then set the following filters: Migration = Unsupported and Type = Web

      When you use a supported template, the original web features may not be provisioned. However, supported lists and list items can now be migrated to the target tenant.

      • New Target Web Template - choose Teams site (no Microsoft 365 group) from the dropdown.

    4. Click Next.
  5. Step 2: Summary
    1. Verify the task specifications as described below:
      • Name - name of the task. The default name is Map Single SharePoint Object Task. You can specify a custom name.
      • New Target Web Name - new name of the target web
      • New Target Url - relative url of the site or web in the target tenant.
    2. Click Back to revise or review a previous step or click Finish to complete the task wizard and start the task as scheduled.
  6. You can track the progress in the Tasks tab, monitor alerts and notifications in the Events tab and view the summary on the Dashboard.
