Moving or Copying a Folder

You can move and copy folders with their contents in the Asset Management Workspace by using drag and drop. You can move and copy several folders from the Browse app’s Results area. Within the directory tree, you can copy or move one folder at the same time. If there is already a folder with the same name in the target folder, a message opens and the folder is not moved or pasted.

Your ability to move or copy a folder depends on Asset Management rules. The folder permissions in Asset Management Workspace must allow moving the selected folder and adding it to the target folder.

You can move and copy folders from the Browse app’s Results area to the following targets:

• A folder in the directory of the same or another Browse app instance

• A sub-folder of the folder currently being open in the Results area in the same Browse app instance

• The Results area of a folder in another Browse app instance

During the drag and drop operation, a number appears in the upper-left corner of the drag window that indicates the number of items that are being affected.

To copy a folder to another folder:

1. Select one or more folders in the Results area.

2. Drag the selection to the target folder.

   The target folder is highlighted.

3. Release the mouse button.

   The folder including its contents is pasted.

To move a folder to another folder:

1. Select one or more folders.

2. Start dragging the selection.

3. Press the Shift key. You can directly release the Shift key because a Shift locker operation is enabled for this drag and drop operation.

4. Drop the selection to the target folder.

   The folder including its contents is moved.
