Using Smart Folders in this way helps you to manage your information for example, where you’ve a number of sources of information, in a variety of folders. The Smart Folders function is disabled by default, and can be enabled in your alfresco-global.properties file by specifying =true. Smart Folders are installed as a core part of Alfresco Content Services, so there is no separate AMP file to install or upgrade.
Files are also automatically classified when they are uploaded. Stored searches are shown in a folder tree, so that when a user opens a folder, a query is run and the results are displayed in a list. Smart Folders organize your content so that you can store files across your organization, but view them based on information requirement, not location.
