Dragging and Dropping Workspace Icons (Sun WorkShop TeamWare 2.1 User's Guide)

Dragging and Dropping Workspace Icons

You can accomplish two types of operations by directly manipulating icons on the Workspace Graph pane. You can drag and drop workspace icons to initiate both Bringover and Putback transactions and to reparent workspaces.

Interworkspace transactions--If you select and drag a workspace and drop it on top of another icon, Configuring initiates one of the following transactions: Bringover Create, Bringover Update, Putback. You determine which transaction is initiated by which icon you drag, and where you drag it; Table 6-1 summarizes these actions. For more information about interworkspace transactions, see Chapter 8, Copying Files between Workspaces."

Table 6-1 Workspace Drag and Drop Action


Drag:	To:	Action
Any workspace icon	Open area	Activate Bringover Create transaction window
Parent workspace icon	Child workspace icon	Activate Bringover Update transaction window
Child workspace icon	Parent workspace icon	Activate Putback transaction window
Any workspace icon	A nonrelated (not a parent or child) workspace icon	Activate pop-up notice to determine actions

Reparenting--To use the drag and drop facility to change a workspace's parent, press and hold the SHIFT key while you drag the workspace icon on top of its new parent's icon. If you drag the icon to an open area of the Workspace Graph pane, the workspace will be orphaned (have no parent). The display is automatically adjusted to reflect the new relationship. For more information about reparenting workspaces, see "Reparenting a Workspace".

Note -
You are prompted to confirm the reparent operation.
