Move items within a database

You can move groups, models, and objects within databases using drag and drop.

Warning

Please ensure that you do not unintentionally change access privileges for object definitions. If a user has access privileges for the source group, but not for the target group, this user can no longer access object definitions after objects have been moved. If you move only the models, that is, without the objects contained therein, the user can no longer open the models. In this case, however, the user can change the object definitions that were not moved and for which occurrences exist in the models that were moved.

Prerequisites

You need the Write access privilege for both groups you want to move items from and groups you want to move items to.

Procedure

  1. Click ARIS > Explorer Explorer. The Explorer tab opens.

  2. Click Navigation Navigation in the bar panel if the Navigation bar is not activated yet.

  3. Log in to the relevant database.

  4. Click Objects or Models in the detail view.

  5. Select one or more groups, objects, or models.

  6. Right-click the selection, hold down the mouse button, and move the mouse pointer to the target group in the Navigation bar.

  7. Release the mouse button and select Move here or Move here with objects to move the models as well as the object occurrences they contain.

The items are moved to the target group. When moving with objects, object definitions contained in the same group as the corresponding model are also moved. Object definitions are not moved if they are used in the model but located in other groups than the model.
