Moving resources

You can use the VersionVault Navigator or VersionVault Details view to move resources under VersionVault source control. On Windows systems, you can also perform this operation from Windows Explorer. This operation affects resources (versions) in the local VersionVault view and elements in the VOB.

About this task

You can move an element that is under VersionVault source control, a version of an element or a view-private resource. If the resource is under source control, it must be moved to a location under VersionVault source control. If the target location is not under VersionVault control, you are prompted to add it. Moving a resource under VersionVault source control creates a new version of the directory that now contains the resource and a new version of the directory that no longer contains the resource.

Procedure

To move an element that is under VersionVault source control, a version of an element or a view-private resource, complete the following steps:
  1. Select the resource(s) to move, and open the Move dialog box by performing one of the following actions:
    • Right-click, and select Move in the context menu.
    • Select Actions > Move from the VersionVault menu.
    • Drag and drop the resources to the destination location in the VersionVault Navigator view, the Details view or Windows Explorer.
    The Move dialog box opens. If the Move dialog box opens as the result of a drag and drop operation, the destination field is populated with the location that the resource was dropped on.
  2. Specify the destination for the resource(s): enter or edit the location in the Destination field or click Browse to navigate to and select the location.
  3. Click OK.
