This tutorial will show you how to create a new site collection on your SharePoint server (on-premises).

For your evaluation, MacroView recommend you create a new site collection to test Case and Matter. This allows you to test our pre-configured SharePoint design for capturing and displaying metadata in site columns, content types and views without impacting other users in your organisation.

Tip: You will need to have a farm administrator account on your SharePoint server to create a site collection and install server components.

To create a new site collection:

1. Log onto your SharePoint Server and open SharePoint Central Administration.
2. Under the heading Application Management, click Create site collections.

3. Fill in the following fields with your own values, however we recommend choosing the default Team Site template during your evaluation period:
   • Web Application: any
   • Title: any
   • Description: any
   • URL: any
   • Template selection: Team Site
   • Primary site collection administrator: any
   • Secondary site collection administrator: any

4. Click OK to begin creating your site collection

The site collection process normally takes a few minutes to complete. After it's finished you should be met with a confirmation screen.

Now that your new site collection has been created, the next step is to install the Case and Matter server components.
