Managing Versions, Items, and Paths › Move Item Process › Move an Item

Move an Item

You can logically move an item from the current path to another path.

Follow these steps:

1. Navigate to the item you want to move.
2. Right-click the item, and select move item process from the shortcut menu.

   The move item process dialog appears and displays the item name you selected.

   Note: The lowercase italic text indicates the process dialog name by the process type, since the process execution dialog names differ to each site.

3. Select a destination path for the item by clicking the button next to the Target Path field to open the Repository Path Selection dialog. Select a path, and click OK.

   The destination path is selected.

4. Specify a placement option:

   Trunk

   Creates a trunk version for refactoring changes.

   Note: This option is identical to the check-out for update process.

   Branch

   Creates a branch version for refactoring changes.

   Note: This option is identical to the check-out for concurrent update process.

5. Select a package from the Package drop-down list, or click the Package button and use the Select a Package dialog to select a package.

   The package is associated with the moved item.

6. (Optional) Click the tabs to enter and view information:

   Comment

   Specifies comments.

   Note

   Provides notes about the process.

   Click OK.

   The moved item is a new version and appears in the destination path and in the associated package's versions list.

Note: You can also move an item by selecting it in the data view and using drag-and-drop to place it on a destination view path.
