Moving objects

Moving an object does not change its Objective ID or history and any aliases to the object remain valid.

You can only move objects:

  • you have ‘Delete' privilege on the objects you are moving, and
  • the object type is one of the following:
    • document
    • folder
    • file
    • alias
    • electronic object
    • saved search
    • workflow
    • report
    • internet Link
    • repository
    • physical document
    • physical object.

An object requires you to have ‘Create’ privileges in the container you are moving the object to.

  1. Go to the folder that contains the objects you wish to move.

  2. Tick the checkbox next to each object in the Content pane that you wish to move.

    To select all objects, tick the checkbox on the left of the page’s Summary section.

  3. Select Create alias, move or copy object on the toolbar.

    The Create aliases to objects dialog box is displayed.

  4. Choose the location where you wish to move the object to from Recent, Handy, Home, Global or use Find to search for a location.

  5. Select Move to move the objects to the selected location.

    The object(s) is added to the top of the list on the Content pane.

    An error message is displayed if you have insufficient permission to move the selected objects into the target location.

  6. Refresh your list by selecting Refresh on the toolbar to reorder the newly added objects in the sort order you have chosen for the list.

Alternatively, you can also select and drag-and-drop the object card into a location and then select Move to confirm.
