Customizing Departments on the Intranet Portal site

Question

A client is requesting that we change the default sections for a department website. I've created a department site with the appropriate sections and created a copy named "Template". My hope was when an administrator creates a new department site, it would generate all of the pages from the template. This is not the case and it looks like I need to modify the "Department Sections Manager" in the Department document but I'm not sure how to do this, or if this is the correct course of action.

Answer 1

It looks like you have to create the Template as just a regular page and not a Department. After I created the Template page I added all of the sub pages and everything is working now.
