When you move an entry, you remove it from the current folder and place it in another folder.
You may decide to move an entry if your folder becomes so full that it is difficult to locate particular entries. You can create a series of subfolders and move the entries to support your new folder hierarchy. For example, a folder containing weekly sales reports can be divided into sales reports by month or by author.
When you move an entry, the ID stays the same. References to the entry from other entries are not broken. However, shortcuts to the entry no longer work.
For example, a report has several report views associated with it. When you move the report to another location in Reporting Center, the references in the associated report views are not broken. However, shortcuts to the entry no longer work.
When you move an entry, if there is another entry of the same name in the target location, you are prompted to replace the existing entry with the moved entry. If you choose to replace the existing entry, the ID of the existing entry is kept. References to the moved entry are broken. Shortcuts to the entry no longer work.
If you want to use a generic entry as the underlying structure for additional entries, make a copy of the entry. If you want an entry to appear in more than one location, create a shortcut. If you want to run an existing agent or report with some minor changes, create an agent view or a report view. For example, to change the format, language, or delivery method of a report, create a report view.
You must have read permissions for the entry you are attempting to move. You must also have write and traverse permissions for the current folder and for the target folder.
In Reporting Center, select the check boxes next to the entry or entries you want to move.
Click the cut button on the toolbar.
Go to the desired location for the entry or entries and click the paste button on the toolbar.
If an entry name is the same as an entry name in the destination folder, choose whether you want to replace the existing entry with the one that you are copying:
To replace the existing entry, click Yes.
To cancel the copy, click No.
