System Smart Folders are best used when you want to see content (that is distributed across the repository) in context; for example, all my files, or all files that are tagged as confidential.

These are the key elements of System Smart Folders:

  • Best used to apply multiple taxonomies to find content in context
  • Loaded using the System Smart Folder (smf:systemConfigSmartFolder) aspect
  • Default template selected using the Smart Folder Template called smartFoldersExample.json
  • New templates can be added in Repository > Data Dictionary > Smart Folder Templates.

    Note: When you add a template to Repository > Data Dictionary > Smart Folder Templates, select Change Type and choose the Smart Folder Template type, to ensure that the new template is displayed in the list in Repository > Data Dictionary > Smart Folder Templates.

Advanced Smart Folders settings are provided in the <tomcat>/shared/classes/alfresco-global.properties.sample file.
