SharePoint site creation tool

Introducing Verasti

If you are ever in the position of having to create and recreate customised SharePoint sites with specific folder structures for different uses then I have designed and developed a tool to do this.

I call it Verasti and you can purchase licences from Verelogic IT Solutions 

at: https://verelogic.com

Verasti lets you create customised SharePoint sites.  All the customisation data stored in an Excel workbook (no database needed).

The Verasti engine looks at the Excel workbook and uses the metadata to create or configure a SharePonit site.

The workbook as a series of worksheets that control the creation process.

Assuming you have the correct permissions on the SharePoint tenant, you can deploy the same configuration as many times as you wish just by modifiying some metadata in the workbook.

Verasti features

Verasti can do the following.

• Create SharePoint sites (Modern and Classic)
• Deploy "Apps" from the central "SharePoint" catalogue
• Activate a SharePoint Theme
• Enable and disable SharePoint Features
• Create new SharePoint Roles (Permission Levels) for the site
• Create custom SharePoint Groups
• Add members to the SharePoint groups (SharePoint users, Azure groups)
• Create Lists and Libraries with full customisation (e.g. version count, compliance tags)
• Add Fields to Lists (text, number, datetime, lookup etc)
• Add Folder hierarchies to Libraries (or lists)
• Create Views on Lists and Libraries
• Upload files into Libraries (whilst maintaining original meta data such as date created and date modified)
• Create List items 
• Deploy Site Content Types into Lists and Libraries
• Create Site Pages
• Create Section layouts on Site pages
• Add Web Parts to Section Layours with customised properties of the Web Parts
• Create Sharepoint "Shares"
• Break Inheritance at Library/List Level
• Assign Permissions at Library/List/Item/Page/File level
• Create QuickLaunch and Top Navigation entries
• Modify Branding of the site (The "chrome")
• Generate Reports on Lists/pages/Libraries

I have designed the tool to deal with time consuming SharePoint configuration.  No need to write or support your own PowerShell any more!

It can save many many hours of tedious repetition and can be integrated in with other systems.
