Moving a Node

You can move a node from one parent in a viewpoint to a different parent in the same viewpoint. You can perform the move either by dragging and dropping the node that you want to move or by using the Move Here menu option from the new parent to locate the node and move it.

Note:

You can move nodes in hierarchy viewpoints only.

To move a node using drag and drop:

  1. Open the viewpoint where you want to move a node.
  2. Open a draft request or create a new request.
  3. Select the node that you want to move, and then drag and drop it to a new parent.

Note:

If you have opened a viewpoint in a duplicate tab (see Using Duplicate Viewpoint Tabs):
  • If you drag and drop a node under a new parent within the same viewpoint tab, the node is moved.

  • If you drag and drop a node under a new parent from one tab to the other, the node is inserted.

To move a node using the Move Here menu option:

  1. Open the viewpoint where you want to move a node.
  2. Open a draft request or create a new request.
  3. Select a node which will be the target parent of the node to be moved, then click select ellipsis button to the right of the node name, and then select Move Here.
  4. In the node selector, select one or more nodes to move. Perform an action:

    • Type the name of a node that you want to move in the search bar and hit Enter to search for a node directly.
    • Click right arrow and drill to the node that you want to move.

    Nodes that you select are indicated by a check mark and added to the Selected tab. Click the X to remove a node from the Selected tab.

    Note:

    By default, the node description is displayed next to the node name in the node selector. Click Show Node Property show node property to select a different property to display in the node selector. The properties that you have configured to be displayed as columns in the viewpoint are available to select. See Configuring How a Viewpoint Displays Properties.

  5. When you have finished selecting nodes, click OK to close the node selector.
  6. Click Done.
