I can't find anywhere how SharePoint's Content Organizer treats submitted documents that have a content type that is a child of the Rule's selected content type.

Does the rule work hierarchically, i.e. will it fire the rule for any document with a content type that is part of the selected content type's hierarchy?

I ask this question because we are building an app for large insurance company where the rule and send to destination are created automatically when a new document is uploaded. We are expecting large document volumes to be passing through the intermediate sites so having a user create a send to destination + rule is impossible, hence the automation.

But we have about 8 different content types which all derive from the same base type. I was hoping to create just 1 rule bound to the base type only..
