Smart Folder

Use smart folders to group content items by a repository query. You can display items as if they were all stored in the smart folder, even if they reside in different parts of the repository.

Features

Smart folders do not contain actual child elements by themselves - they show virtual items instead collected on-the-fly by a content query stored in the Query field of the smart folder.

Parent type

Folder

Content handler

SenseNet.ContentRepository.SmartFolder

Special fields

Name	Type	Description
Query	`LongText`	Please give a query here that you want to use for collecting the children of this smart folder.
EnableAutofilters	`Choice`	If autofilters are enabled, system content will be filtered from the query.
EnableLifespanFilter	`Choice`	If lifespan filter is enabled, only valid content will be in the result.
