Moving Folders and Knowledge Entries

Marking Folders and Knowledge Entries for Movement (Defining Sources)

To get to the move mode, click on the Move button in the directory overview.

Selecting the Source Folders and Knowledge Entries to be Moved

As on the document main page, you will see a directory tree where you can select knowledge entries and folders that you want to move. Here you have check boxes that allow multiple selections rather than the option buttons that only allow a single selection. As needed, you can also mark individual knowledge entries or whole folders to be moved. If you want to move a folder with all the subdirectories and documents inside, then only mark that single folder. The entire contents of the marked folder are then automatically selected as well. The permission rules also apply to moving folders and documents, of course. You can only select folders that you are permitted to access. You can select these with the white check boxes. You cannot select folders and knowledge entries that you do not have access to; these are gray in color.

Defining the Destination

Once you have made your selection, click on the tab marked Destination (formerly Target). Now choose the option button in front of the directory where you want to move the selected knowledge entries and folders. Next, select a directory by marking the radio button of the desired destination folder.

Folders and Subfolders

If you try to move a folder into itself or into one of the subfolders contained within, the system will produce an error message.

Conducting the Move

Now confirm the move by clicking on the Move button. If you decide not to continue with this move at this point, you can leave the menu again by clicking on the Cancel button.
