Moving Nodes

To move a node using cut and paste:

1. Select Tree Manager, and then Tree Manager.

2. Search for an existing tree or create a new one.

3. In the Tree Manager page, highlight the node and click the Cut icon.

4. Select the destination node and click the Paste as Sibling or Paste as Child icon.

   The node is pasted into the position that you specified. Remember that you cannot insert a child node into a branch node, insert a sibling node into a root node, or insert a parent node into its child.

   PeopleSoft Tree Manager moves the entire part of the tree starting at the selected node. If the moved node has nodes or detail values reporting to it, they also move to the new position.

Note:

You cannot move branched nodes.

Levels Behavior When Nodes are Moved

The following are general rules used for levels when nodes are moved:

• Tree with strictly enforced levels: The parent node must always be at a higher level than its children.

• Tree with loosely enforced levels: No rules are enforced; therefore, levels of the descendant nodes should be manually adjusted by using the switch level function on the pasted node.

The following table shows the basic behavior of levels when cutting and pasting nodes.

Action	Strictly Enforced Levels	Loosely Enforced Levels
Moving node to a higher level.	Levels of the pasted node and its children are not automatically adjusted. The pasted node appears as a skipped node. (Node image changes to a skipped node image).	Levels of the pasted node and its children are not automatically adjusted. The pasted node appears as a regular node.
Moving node to a lower level.	To ensure that the parent node is always at a higher level than its children, PeopleSoft Tree Manager automatically adjusts the level of the node and its children.	The levels of the pasted node and its children are not adjusted.

Note:

New tree levels are not automatically created in non-root branches when a tree node is moved or a new tree node is added.
