SharePoint Syntex Setup

Admins can use the Microsoft 365 admin center to set up Microsoft SharePoint Syntex.

Consider the following before you start:

1. In which SharePoint sites will you enable form processing? All of them, some, or select sites?

2. What will you name your default content center?

You can change your settings after initial setup in the M365 admin center.

Prior to setup, plan for the best way to set up and configure content understanding in your environment. Decisions:

1. The SharePoint sites in which you want to enable form processing - all of them, some, or selected sites

2. The name and admins for your content center

Requirements

 Note: You must have Global admin or SharePoint admin permissions to be able to access the Microsoft 365 admin center and set up SharePoint Syntex.

As an admin, you can also make changes to your selected settings anytime after setup, and throughout the content understanding management settings in the Microsoft 365 admin center.

If you plan to use a custom Power Platform environment, you must install the AI Builder for Project Cortex app in this environment and allocate AI Builder credits to it before you can create form processing models.

Licensing

To use SharePoint Syntex, your organization must have a subscription to SharePoint Syntex, and each user must have the following licenses assigned:

1. SharePoint Syntex

2. SharePoint Syntex - SPO type

3. Common Data Service for SharePoint Syntex

To use form processing, you also need AI Builder credits. If you have 300 or more licensed users, an allocation of AI Builder credits is provided each month.
