Alfresco and Rational Retention, a leading developer of document lifecycle management and e-discovery solutions, will demonstrate the integration of the Alfresco content repository and RR.

The solution provides customers with the ability to archive and maintain full control over a range of e-mails, documents and enterprise content which need to be captured, retained and made available for compliance and litigation purposes.

This webcast demonstrates the new solution using Alfresco’s implementations of the Common Interface File System (CIFS) and WebDav protocols allows customers to automatically capture and move e-mails, documents or metadata, user-by-user, based on auto-categorization policies relative to a company’s compliance or litigation obligations.

Join Jeff Potts, Content Management Practice Lead at Optaros,

as he shows you how to work the Alfresco content model, rules & actions.

This is part 2 of a 3-part series for Alfresco Developers.

Bob Acme: “My company has a bunch of digital assets. Ready for loading into Alfresco.  But if I stick them into the repository without tagging them properly, I’m just using Alfresco as a glorified file-system.”

You can get a lot more out of the Alfresco repository, if you start tagging content, and associating content with metadata.

Topics covered in this webcast include:

1. How do I model custom metadata?
2. What are actions?
   - Jeff explains these discrete units of work, and how they can be called from different places (UI, rules, java, javascript, or workflow steps)
3. Demo- Code review- Building actions and work flows- Building rules
