Site template JSON schema

  • Article

The site template is a list of actions. For more complex actions, such as creating a list, there are also subactions. Each action is specified by a "verb" value. Verb actions are run in the order they appear in the JSON script. Only the verb actions listed here can be used; otherwise, an "unable to handle action" error will be thrown when trying to upload a site script. More actions will be added over time.

The overall JSON structure is specified as follows:

{
  "$schema": "schema.json",
  "actions": [
    ...
    <one or more verb actions>
    ...
  ],
  "bindata": { },
  "version": 1
}

Tip

You can view - and reference - the latest schema here: https://developer.microsoft.com/json-schemas/sp/site-design-script-actions.schema.json

Note

Actions can be run more than once on a site. Rerunning actions on the same site with the same parameters will result in an update to the existing schema and not duplication of schema.

addContentTypesFromHub

Use the addContentTypesFromHub verb to sync content types from a content type hub to the site.

Note

Once addContentTypesFromHub is applied on a site, the addContentType subaction on a list will be able to add it to the list by name.

JSON value

  • ids: An array of the content type IDs that need to be synced.

Example

{
  "verb": "addContentTypesFromHub",
  "ids": ["0x01007CE30DD1206047728BAFD1C39A850120"]
}

Create a new SharePoint list

Use the createSPList verb to create a new SharePoint list.

Note

Once createSPList is applied on a site, running the createSPList with the same list name will act as an update to the existing list.

JSON values

  • listName: The name of the list.

  • templateType: Which template to apply to the list. Typically, you would use value 100. The full list of template type values is documented in SPListTemplateType enumeration - but the ones we currently support include:

    List Template Name Enum
    Generic List 100
    Document Library 101
    Survey 102
    Links 103
    Announcements 104
    Contacts 105
    Events 106
    Tasks 107
    Discussion Board 108
    PictureLibrary 109
    Site Pages 119
    Issue Tracking 1100

    If you use 101 or 119 and reference the default names ("Documents" or "Site Pages"), you can modify the library created with the template. See example below.

  • subactions: An array of actions that run in the order listed to create your list.

Example

{
  "verb": "createSPList",
  "listName": "Customer Tracking",
  "templateType": 100,
  "subactions": [
    {
      "verb": "setDescription",
      "description": "List of Customers and Orders"
    }
  ]
},
{
  "verb": "createSPList",
  "listName": "Documents",
  "templateType": 101,
  "subactions": [
    {
      "verb": "setDescription",
      "description": "This is a modified default document library"
    }
  ]
}

The subactions array provides additional actions to specify how to construct the list. Subactions are also specified using a verb value.

setDescription

Sets the description of the list.

JSON value

  • description: The description of the new list.

Example

{
  "verb": "setDescription",
  "description": "List of Customers and Orders"
}

addSPField

Adds a new field.

JSON values

  • fieldType: The field type can be set to Text, Note, Number, Boolean, User, or DateTime. For other data types, see the addSPFieldXml action.
  • displayName: The display name of the field.
  • id: An optional attribute. If provided, specifies the id of the field. It needs to be a unique, randomly generated GUID. Providing a value for this is recommended to ensure the field isn't added multiple times if the script is rerun.
  • internalName: An optional attribute. If provided, specifies the internal name of the field. If not provided, the internal name is based on the display name.
  • isRequired: True if this field is required to contain information; otherwise, False.
  • addToDefaultView: True if the field will be added to the default view; otherwise, False.
  • enforceUnique: An optional attribute that defaults to False. If True, all values for this field must be unique.

Example

{
  "verb": "addSPField",
  "fieldType": "Text",
  "displayName": "Customer Name",
  "isRequired": false,
  "id": "c532fcb9-cdb3-45c6-8247-c784dcd58e1a",
  "addToDefaultView": true
}

deleteSPField

Deletes a default field that was provided by the selected template type.

JSON value

  • displayName: The display name to identify the field to delete.

Example

{
  "verb": "deleteSPField",
  "displayName": "Modified"
}

addSPFieldXml

Enables defining fields and their elements using Collaborative Application Markup Language (CAML). For reference, see Field element (Field). Providing the ID attribute in the field schemaXml is important in order to prevent the field from being created multiple times if the script is run more than once.

Currently these field constructs can't be designated as site columns nor added to content types. To create site columns with Field XML, use the createSiteColumnXml action.

JSON value

  • schemaXml: The CAML block to define the field.
  • addToDefaultView: True if the field will be added to the default view; otherwise, False.

Example

{
  "verb": "addSPFieldXml",
  "schemaXml": "<Field ID=\"{596cbd92-36e3-40cc-a910-0f53468ce5e4}\" Type=\"Choice\" DisplayName=\"Project Category\" Required=\"FALSE\" Format=\"Dropdown\" StaticName=\"ProjectCategory\" Name=\"ProjectCategory\"><Default>Operations</Default><CHOICES><CHOICE>Operations</CHOICE><CHOICE>IT</CHOICE><CHOICE>Legal</CHOICE><CHOICE>Engineering</CHOICE></CHOICES></Field>"
}

addSPLookupFieldXml

Enables defining lookup fields and their dependent lists element using Collaborative Application Markup Language (CAML). For reference, see Field element (Field). Providing the ID attribute in the field schemaXml is important in order to prevent the field from being created multiple times if the script is run more than once.

JSON value

  • schemaXml: The CAML block to define the field.
  • targetListName: The name that identifies the list this lookup field is referencing. Provide either this or targetListUrl.
  • targetListUrl: A web-relative URL that identifies the list this lookup field is referencing. Provide either this or targetListName.
  • addToDefaultView: True if the field will be added to the default view; otherwise, False.

Example

{
  "verb": "addSPLookupFieldXml",
  "schemaXml": "<Field Type=\"Lookup\" DisplayName=\"Contoso Project Category\" Required=\"FALSE\" EnforceUniqueValues=\"FALSE\" ShowField=\"Title\" UnlimitedLengthInDocumentLibrary=\"FALSE\" RelationshipDeleteBehavior=\"None\" ID=\"{101f1f89-d667-4c7f-9ebc-76cb5831d0a2}\" StaticName=\"ContosoProjectCategory\" Name=\"ContosoProjectCategory\" />",
  "targetListName": "Contoso Project Master"
}

addSiteColumn

Subaction to add a previously defined site column directly to a list (existing or created through the site script).

JSON value

  • internalName: The internal name of the site column to add.
  • addToDefaultView: Optional attribute that defaults to False. If True, the newly added field will also be added to the default view.

Example

 {
  "verb": "addSiteColumn",
  "internalName": "siteColumnUser",
  "addToDefaultView": true
 }

addSPView

Defines and adds a view to the list. Use this action to specify the desired columns and how you want the list items displayed (using a CAML query). Action properties allow you to specify row limits, and whether the view is paged and recurses over items in nested folders. You can also designate your constructed view as the default.

JSON value

  • name: The name of the view.
  • viewFields: An array of the internal names of the fields in your view.
  • query: A CAML query string that contains the where clause for the view's query. See CAML schemas.
  • rowLimit: The row limit of the view.
  • isPaged: Specifies whether the view is paged.
  • makeDefault: If True, the view will be made the default for the list; otherwise, False.
  • scope: An optional setting to specify the scope of the view. For more information, see SPViewScope enumeration.
  • formatterJSON: An optional setting to specify the JSON formatting for the view.

Example

{
  "verb": "addSPView",
  "name": "Contoso Projects by Category",
  "viewFields":
  [
    "ID",
    "Title",
    "siteColumnUser",
    "ProjectCategory"
  ],
  "query": "<OrderBy><FieldRef Name=\"ProjectCategory\" /><FieldRef Name=\"siteColumnUser\" Ascending=\"FALSE\" /></OrderBy>",
  "rowLimit": 100,
  "isPaged": true,
  "makeDefault": true
}

      }
  ]
}

setTitle

Renames the list. To create a new list with a specific name, instead of using setTitle use the listName parameter in the CreateSPList action.

Note

Using setTitle will rename the list, preventing the list from updating if the site template is reapplied.

JSON value

  • title: The title of the new list.

Example

{
  "verb": "setTitle",
  "title": "Customers and Orders"
}

Define a new site column

Use the createSiteColumn verb to define a new site column that can then be associated to a list directly or by using the addContentType action.

JSON value

  • fieldType: The type of column to add. Supported values - like SPField - are Text, Note, Number, Boolean, User, and DateTime. For other data types, refer to the addSPFieldXml script action.
  • internalName: The internal name of the site column.
  • displayName: The display name of the site column.
  • isRequired: True if this field is required to contain information; otherwise, False.
  • id: An optional attribute. If provided, specifies the id of the field. It needs to be a unique, randomly generated GUID. Providing a value for this is recommended to ensure the field isn't added multiple times if the script is rerun.
  • group: An optional attribute to designate the column group.

}

Use the createSiteColumnXml verb to define a new site column for those complex data types not supported by createSiteColumn. These columns can then be associated to a list directly or by using the addContentType action. Providing the ID attribute in the field schemaXml is important in order to prevent the field from being created multiple times if the script is run more than once.

JSON value

  • schemaXml: The CAML block to define the field.
  • pushChanges: Indicates whether this change should be pushed to lists that already reference this field. Defaults to True.

Example

{
  "verb": "createSiteColumnXml",
  "schemaXml": "<Field ID=\"{82581bd1-356f-4206-8ff7-a3b6ad1f5553}\" Type=\"Choice\" DisplayName=\"Project Status\" Required=\"FALSE\" Format=\"Dropdown\" StaticName=\"ProjectStatus\" Name=\"ProjectStatus\"><Default>In Progress</Default><CHOICES><CHOICE>In Progress</CHOICE><CHOICE>In Review</CHOICE><CHOICE>Done</CHOICE><CHOICE>Has Issues</CHOICE></CHOICES></Field>"
}

Define a new content type

Use createContentType to define a new content type that can then be associated to a list by using the addContentType action.

JSON value

Note

When referencing the content type ID, only one of the three references are required - ID, parentName, or parentId.

  • name: The name of the content type to create.
  • description: The optional description of the content type.
  • parentName: Name of the parent content type.
  • parentId: ID of the parent content type.
  • id: ID of the content type.
  • hidden: Specifies whether the content type is visible or hidden.
  • group: Group of the content type.
  • subactions: Specifies subactions to run on the content type. These are used to designate the site columns to add.

Example

{
  "verb": "createContentType",
  "name": "Contoso Projects",
  "description": "custom list content type",
  "parentName": "Item",
  "hidden": false,
  "group": "Contoso",
  "subactions":
    [
      {
        "verb": "addSiteColumn",
        "internalName": "siteColumn1Text"
      },
      {
        "verb": "addSiteColumn",
        "internalName": "siteColumn2Number"

Use the addNavLink verb to add a new navigation link to the site QuickLaunch or Hub navigation.

JSON values

  • url: The URL of the link to add.
  • displayName: The display name of the link.
  • navComponent: The component where to add the link, QuickLaunch, Hub, or Footer. The default is QuickLaunch.
  • isWebRelative: True if the link is web relative; otherwise, False. The default is False.
  • parentDisplayName: An optional parameter. If provided, it makes this navigation link a child (sub link) of the navigation link with this displayName. If both this and parentUrl are provided, it searches for a link that matches both to be the parent.
  • parentUrl: An optional parameter. If provided, it makes this navigation link a child (sub link) of the navigation link with this URL. If both this and parentDisplayName are provided, it searches for a link that matches both to be the parent.
  • isParentUrlWebRelative: An optional parameter. True if the link is web relative; otherwise, False. The default value is False.

Example

Note

If you add a link to a nested site item such as a list, be sure to add the path reference from the root.

Use the removeNavLink verb to remove a navigation link from the site.

JSON values

  • url: The URL of the link to remove.
  • displayName: The display name of the link.
  • navComponent: The component where to remove the link from, QuickLaunch, Hub, or Footer. The default is QuickLaunch.
  • isWebRelative: True if the link is web relative; otherwise, False.

Use the installSolution action to install a deployed add-in or SharePoint Framework solution from the tenant App Catalog.

Example

Note

To get the solution ID, sign in to a site by using the Connect-PnPOnline cmdlet, and then run Get-PnPApp. This returns a list of your deployed solutions. For multi-geo tenants, use the Product ID after setting up the solution in each geo location. Obtain the Product ID by uplaoding the solution to the app catalog or in the solution's definition.

{
  "verb": "installSolution",
  "id": "d40e4edc-a6da-4cd8-b82d-bba970976803"
