SharePoint 2010 Content Organizer

The following is a very quick overview of the SP2010 Content Organizer feature.  Not just for records management!

• This is a web scoped feature you can enabled on any site
• It creates a Drop Off Document Library and adds new settings on the Site Settings interface

• You can then define rules for moving content about based the content type and meta-data associated with the content
  • This could involve dropping a document into a specified library or moving it to another site entirely

• Users can then upload a document to the Drop Off Library (you can change this name) and the document will be automatically routed to the correct location if a rule matches
  • This is awesome for helping maintain an IA
  • Makes life easy for the users as they don’t have to worry about which folder to drop a document into
  • You could even prevent users uploading documents to ANY other doc lib in your site so your rules handle the placement of everything
• If no rules are matched then the document remains in the Drop Off Library and an admin can manually move it
