There are a number of prerequisites for using Smart Folders.
- Smart Folders are provided as part of the standard installation with Alfresco Content Services.
-
Change the Smart Folders property setting in the <tomcat>/shared/classes/alfresco-global.properties file to true:
smart.folders.enabled=true
Note: By default, the smart.folders.enabled=false property setting is at the end of the alfresco-global.properties file. Set this property to true to enable Smart Folders, rather than adding a new smart.folders.enabled=true property setting to the file, which will cause the Smart Folder example not to work. - To define a query for a Smart Folder, Alfresco Full Text Search (AFTS) must be used.
- Ensure that your system administrator has configured Alfresco Content Services to use either Solr 4 or Alfresco Search Services with Solr 6 as a search service. The Alfresco Full Text Search should also be configured to either Always use Database or Use Database if possible.
