### 5.6.3. Specifying File Extension Preferences

During uploads, EKM determines the default type to assign to an object based on its extension. If the same extension is used by more than one type, EKM tries to automatically infer the type by reading a part of the file. If EKM is unable to make the type determination it uses the preferred extension you have specified in your global preferences as the default.

To set file extension preferences:

1. Click the user profile drop box on the title bar and select Settings.

2. In the Settings dialog box, select the Preferences tab.

3. In the navigation pane, select File Extensions.

4. Select a file type for each for each file extension.

5. Click OK.

Note: File extension preferences are not available if the workspace has been configured to display a job-only view, as this view restricts access to repository objects.
