Moving Folders and Documents

Selecting Folders and Documents to be Moved (Defining Sources)

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

Figure 7.9. Selecting Source Folders and Documents to be Moved

Selecting Source Folders and Documents to be Moved

As on the document main page you will see a directory tree where you can select documents 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 documents 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 documents that you do not have access to; these are gray in color.

Defining the Destination

Once you have made your selection, click on the index card tab marked Destination. Now choose the option button in front of the directory you want to move the selected documents and folders into. 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.

Completing 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.
