Move Project Command (File Menu)

See Also

Relocates a subproject from one parent project to another.

Access Rights

You must have the Add access right in the parent project being moved to, and the Destroy access right in the parent project being moved from, to use this command.

Remarks

The Move Project command redefines the path to a subproject. For instance, if the project TOOLMANAGER exists under $/JOE, and you move it to $/APPS, its new full name is $/APPS/TOOLMANAGER.

This command does not rename a project, and it does not change its contents or history. It does affect the histories of the old and new parent projects.

After you move a project, you cannot reconstruct an old version of its original parent project. In the preceding example, any attempt to use the Get Latest Version command recursively to retrieve a version of $/JOE that existed before you moved the TOOLMANAGER project generates a warning that TOOLMANAGER has been moved, and is unavailable.

Note   You cannot move individual files with the Move Project command. Instead, to move a file, share the file with the new parent project, and then delete or destroy the file in the original project. The history of the file is retained.
