Using Drag and Drop

You can move detail values and nodes using drag-and-drop functionality as a substitute for cut-and-paste.

When using drag-and-drop functionality with nodes, you can use either the Paste as Child or Paste as Sibling actions.

The following rules apply when using drag and drop:

• You can drop values onto the root node, but you cannot drag the root node onto another value.

• You can drag nodes and detail values to another location, but you cannot drop nodes onto detail values.

• You cannot drag and drop on:

  • Branched nodes.

  • View-only trees.

  • Dynamic detail leaves.

• Drag-and-drop functionality is available only for a single page that is opened in a browser.

  To move a node or a leaf between different pages, use cut-and-paste functionality instead.

• The drag-and-drop default action is set in the display options.

See Setting Display Options.
