The source application knows the type of document, alfresco has no way of discerning the type. I will have to replicate the function/knowledge that the source app has in Alfresco. I would rather find a way to tell alfresco while uploading the document type of the document.

Can you add a metadata bit where you will specify the document type? Is there anything that you can use to recognize one document from another? Like, a name, author meta tag, mimetype, file extension, whatever?

Hi

What do you mean by "upload" ? File system upload ?

One idea : have two "inbox" spaces, one for each document type, with an additional rule that moves them to a third space where they will actually reside together.

You can also detect the mimetype of the document, if this is relevant. If you say what you mean by different types of the documents, there could be other options too.
