Guidelines for Working with Elements
When performing actions on one or more elements, keep the following points in mind:
You must have at least List access to view elements, Read access to select elements to move or copy, Write access to the location to which you want to move/copy elements, and Write access to elements you want to rename or delete. If you select multiple elements and you do not have the required access to one or more of them, you will not be able to perform the action. You must either ask your system administrator to give you the required access to the elements or select only elements for which you have the proper access.
Designer prompts you to save changes to an element before allowing you to perform an action on the element, close the element in the editor, close your session on the current server, or exit
Designer.
The actions you can perform on items depend on the type and combination of items you select. If an action is not allowed for one or more elements in a selection,
Designer makes the action unavailable for use. For example,
Designer disables the cut, copy, paste, and delete actions if you select a server.
Designer also prevents you from selecting multiple elements when doing so could cause confusion or undefined results. For example, you cannot select a server and any other element, a package and any other element, or a folder and one or more elements contained within that folder.
If you select multiple elements and
Designer encounters an error while performing the specified action on one or more of the elements,
Designer displays a dialog box listing the elements for which the action failed. You can obtain more information about why the action failed by clicking
Details.
The elements you want to move, copy, rename, save, or delete must be unlocked, or locked by you. If you configured
Integration Server to work with a version control system (VCS), you must first check out the element before editing it and then check it back in.
You cannot undo a move, copy, rename, or delete action using the
Edit > Undo command.
If you select a publishable document type that is associated with an adapter notification,
Designer handles actions performed on the document type as follows:
For
non-copy actions, you must also select the adapter notification before you can perform a non-copy action on the document type.
For
copy actions, you can select the publishable document type without selecting its associated adapter notification. However, the copied publishable document type loses its association with the adapter notification.
