In the library you can define folder rules to manage your content automatically. You can
come up with many creative solutions to make sure specific content processes are automated all
without you having to do the work yourself.
Rules dictate how content entering, leaving, or currently residing in a folder is managed.
There are three parts to a content rule:
- The event that triggers the rule
- The conditions the content has to meet
- The action performed on the content
The events that can trigger a rule are:
- A content item arrives in the folder
- A content item leaves the folder (it's moved or deleted)
- A content item in the folder is modified
Here are some examples of how you can use rules to automate repetitive tasks:
- All files placed in the Drafts folder are versioned
- All files placed in the Drafts folder become part of a simple workflow
- All files placed in the Completed folder that have the tag final will be moved to the folder Archived
- All GIF files placed in the Images folder will be transformed to PNG files
- All presentation documents placed in the Published folder will be transformed to Flash and copied to the Assets folder
