How do I set a default (preferred) data type in Paperless (Windows) 2.2?

In Paperless, it is possible to set a default (preferred) data type. This is a data type (such as Receipt, Document, or Contact) that new library items will be set to when they are imported to your library.

In Paperless 2.2, the default data type picker was moved to Library Configuration. It is now available under the Data Types section of Library Configuration.

To set a default (preferred) data type, follow these steps:

  1. From the View Menu, select Show Library Configuration.
  2. Under Library Configuration, navigate to the Data Types section.
  3. Under Default data type, select the data type you would like to make the default (or preferred) data type.
  4. Click Done to apply changes.

New library items should now be imported with the selected preferred data type.
