There are a number of prerequisites for using Smart Folders in SkyVault.
SkyVault requirements
- Smart Folders are provided as part of the standard installation with SkyVault 2.0 5.1 (and later versions), and SkyVault Community Edition. Smart Folders are not available with SkyVault in the Cloud.
- Change the Smart Folders property setting in the
<tomcat>/shared/classes/alfresco-global.properties file to
true:
smart.folders.enabled=true
Note: By default, the smart.folders.enabled=false property setting is at the end of the SkyVault-global.properties file. Set this property to true to enable Smart Folders, rather than adding a new smart.folders.enabled=true property setting to the file, which will cause the Smart Folder example not to work. - To define a query for a Smart Folder, SkyVault Full Text Search (AFTS) must be used.
- Ensure that your system administrator has configured SkyVault to use Solr 4 as a search service and that SkyVault Full Text Search is configured to either Always use Database or Use Database if possible.
Ensure that your business analyst has considered the business case for enabling Smart Folders. See Planning and implementing Smart Folders for more information.
