I am trying to set Alfresco up to automatically version Word and Excel files. I have set up my rule as follows:
Rule conditions:
Item has a mimetype of 'Microsoft Word 2007'
Item has a mimetype of 'Microsoft Excel 2007'
Name property matches '*.docx'
Name property matches '*.doc'
Name property matches '*.xls'
Name property matches '*.xlsx'
Item has a mimetype of 'Microsoft Word'
Item has a mimetype of 'Microsoft Excel'
Rule actions:
Add aspect 'Versionable'
Details:
Type: Items are created or enter this folder
Title: Auto document versioning
Description:
Other Options selected:
Apply rule to sub spaces
Run rule in background
Despite the above setup, if I upload a new file to any space, including the root space, the versioning aspect is not applied. I can manually enable it perfectly fine on a per-file basis, but the content rule is never applied.
The versioning aspect is not added whether I upload using CIFS, FTP or the web interface.
Running Alfresco Community 3.3 on Server 2008 R2.
