How to add a user attribute to entire folder of documents?

you can select as many as you want (or have a search at the end of your overall import process to find all pdf files), and add your attribute to all of them at once. The same could be done with template. I don't think there is a way to assign a template automatically based on document type, it would be nice though.

Thanks quant.

I understand now that a template cannot be assigned based on file type, but is there a way to assign a template automatically for all files that are imported? E.g., if I import a folder filled with PDF files is there any way to do that and have UR add that new attribute? (I was thinking a template, but really anyway that the attribute is added is fine with me!).

If not, the search method is fine also. I didn't realize I could assign an attribute to search results! That will help especially with the files I already imported, and also if or when I create more attributes that I want to assign to files in this project.

Thanks!
