Automatic Document Routing to the right Folder

[brightokona]

Hi All,

Please how do I configure Alfresco to automaticaly move documents into the right folder based on the content of the document. What I mean is that when I drop a document on the dropbox, I want the document to automatically be uploaded to the right folder based on the content of the document. I know I will have to defined what keywords will be used to determine the right folder for each type of document.


Please how do I achieve this using Alfresco.

There isn't a way to do this out-of-the-box that I know of. You'll need something that can extract keywords from the document content, and that is non-trivial. There is at least one open source add-on for Alfresco that does this, however. It is an integration between Alfresco and OpenCalais and it is available on the Forge. The project will automatically tag your documents based on their content.

Maybe you could use the OpenCalais integration to extract the tags, and then create a rule or a behavior that will move documents into the appropriate folder based on the tags that have been assigned?
