Configure Service Templates

As an IT administrator, you may need to configure multiple services in AvePoint Cloud Governance to satisfy various requirements in your organization. You can export and import service templates to create services in bulk.

To configure service templates, click Profiles & templates > Service templates.

NOTE

For a successful import of a service template, AvePoint recommends that the languages in all of the following be the same:

  • The display language of the Cloud Governance admin center when you export a service template.

  • The display language of the Cloud Governance admin center when you import a service template.

  • The language of your Cloud Governance environment that was set when your tenant was initialized. You can refer to the built-in email template name to know the initialization language of your Cloud Governance. To view the built-in email template name, navigate to the classic Cloud Governance admin center > Settings > Email Templates.
