Moving entities
In the Network section, you can safely and efficiently move entities between locations with the help of context-aware messages tailored to your selected destination.
To move entities:
Use the Move action:
From the Actions menu in the table area, move one or multiple entities.
From the contextual menu in the tree view, move a single entity.
A configuration page displays details about the destination and helps prevent accidental or unwanted relocation.
Use drag and drop:
Move one or multiple entities from the Network table to a location in the tree.
Move a single entity between locations within the tree.
A confirmation window helps prevent accidental or unwanted relocation.
Note
You cannot drag and drop entities within the Network table. The destination must be in the tree view panel.
