Copy Folders
[Rate this topic]

The Folders tab assists in selecting folders from the source to be copied into the Target draft. The page displays all folders in the source draft.  Folders display by their localized names and OID.

Copy Folders

  1. Search for a specific folder using the Search function or select from the list to copy to the Target.

 

 

Note: If a folder has a parent folder that exists in the Target, then the reference changes to point to the folder in the Target during the copy operation.

 

  1. To view the folder details, left-click on the folder name and click the expand arrow to the left of the folder name in the details section. The details section will appear.

 

An Object Status message will display in the bottom pane of the Object Details section together with a description of the availability of an object for copy.  If an object is not available for copy, the message will give a reason and also provide guidance on how to make that object available for selection.

 

 

 

  1. When your selection is complete, tab to another Object Type to continue copying to Target or click Next to confirm selections to finish copying. See Related Topics for other objects to copy.

 

Reference Objects

The folder that you select or available for copy has associated references that can be viewed in a Reference Details section on the Folder page.

 

  1. To view the details of the folder references, left-click on the folder name.  The reference details will appear on the right side of the screen as shown below.

  2. You can select or de-select any referenced objects or check box Select Cluster to select root objects to copy if you have not selected the object as yet. Select Cluster selects all objects contained in the cluster and not in the target, regardless of whether they are referenced by soft references, or whether they are unavailable because they have unselected references.

 

 

The following table describes the possible referenced objects and the Reference type for Folders.
