Upload file does not have 'Choose Record Type' option

As we transition to the new Hyland Community, some post links may be temporarily disrupted as we finalize redirects. We apologize for the inconvenience and are working to resolve this as quickly as possible. Details.

I've got Alfresco community version 4.2c and RM working well.
BUT, the upload dialog does not have a "Choose Record Type" option.
You must go afterwards to specify that, which is not nice for the user - one extra thing to remember.
The document suggest it should be there:
Alfresco 3 Records Management by Dick Weisinger

Any help?

hi,

The documents uploaded in the records management site are of one type alone "cm:content". Eventually you can add custom record metadatas onto it and once the mandatory fields are supplied with relevant values… you can declare the document as a record. While uploading documents in the RM site, the different options which you see are not types but record metadatas (Web record, PDF record, etc… each provide record metadata associated with it). on the backend they get saved in a common type(cm:content).

The document type can be set in Alfresco share sites while collaboratively working on the document before being moved onto the records site.

Hope this helps.

Regards,
Vijay.
