SmartSort for Alfresco. The Same Alfresco, only Smarter.
Manage common requests for automated folder creation, as well as document naming and filing WITHOUT customization!
SmartSort Configuration is Easy
Alfresco Content Services offers an extremely robust platform for tackling all of your document storage needs. Unfortunately, only a limited set of functionality is exposed as configuration within the UI. In order to set up the sort of automations that make the repository easy to use, a developer often needs to intervene to write scripts or other customizations. With SmartSort you can put these automations fully into the hands of your business analysts. And, you can add new rules or modify existing rules on the fly – no restart required!
Dynamic Folder Structure Generation
Let’s start with the simple act of creating a site and populating a folder structure. For ad-hoc use cases, manually creating folders is probably fine. But what about more structured use cases where all the data you need is already captured in a database? What if you could automatically create a consistent folder structure based on that data?
With SmartSort, you can!
