Creating a SharePoint Object

You can create new SharePoint site collections, sites, folders, and lists via the Content Matrix Console.

Creating a SharePoint Site

You can create a new SharePoint site via Content Matrix under an existing site collection or site except for Database connections and the new site can use any site template that is installed on the SharePoint environment.

To create a new SharePoint site:

1.In the Explorer View, select the site collection or site under which you want to create the new site.

2.Right-click and choose Create Site.

The Create Site dialog displays, prompting you to enter the Site Title, Site URL Name, Description, and Template for the new site.

NOTE:  For Site URL Name, it is only necessary to enter the name of the site as you want it to appear in the URL, not the entire URL path.

Note that if you are migrating to SharePoint Online or SharePoint 2019, the default template is (modern) Team Site (no Microsoft 365 group).  For SharePoint Online, Content Matrix does not support connections to tenant-level groups.

3.When you have completed the fields on the Create Site dialog, click [OK].

The new site will now display in Explorer View.

Create SharePoint Site Collection

You can create new site collections on a target SharePoint environment for any SharePoint connection type, except for database and site connections.

To create a new SharePoint site collection:

1.In the Explorer View navigate to the SharePoint Farm/ Web Application (on premises) or Tenant (SharePoint Online) where the new site collection should be created.

2.Right-click and choose Create Site Collection.

3.Complete the fields on the Create Site Collection dialog for the selected Mode as you would if you were creating a site collection from within SharePoint.

NOTE:  In addition, you have the option to create a host named site collection using the Host Header option.  Refer to the Microsoft TechNet article details about host-named site collections.

Note that if you are migrating to SharePoint Online or SharePoint 2019, the default template is (modern) Team Site (no Microsoft 365 group) (STS#3). For SharePoint Online, Content Matrix does not support connections to tenant-level groups.

4.After completing the dialog, click [OK].

The new site collection now displays in the Explorer View.
