Move collections

In order to move an object to a specific collection, you need the local "Add collection" permission for the target collection. Additionally, you need the local "Move collection" permission for the source collection.

  1. Select a single collection in the tree.

  2. Use the "Move to" action in either the context menu or the magic menu. A new dialog opens.

  3. Choose a target collection for the collection in the dialog.

    If a collection is grayed out, it means you may not move the collection to it. A tool-tip explains the reasons for this.

  4. Click "Move to" to confirm the dialog and move the collection to the selected new parent collection.

    Impact on asset metadata

    Referencing drop-down fields in CELUM Content use specific collections as their "root", as configured by an administrator. All child collections of the specified "root" can be chosen as values for a referencing drop-down field.

    If the Linking Feature is enabled for your CELUM Content server and the moved collection is also a value of a referencing drop-down field for an asset, then that value will be removed from the associated field when the collection or its parent structure is moved out of the field's "root". If the new parent collection is the "root" for a different referencing drop-down field for an asset, the moved collection will be added as a value to the assets' other field.

Moving collections to the root level

Power users with super-administrator permissions can move collections to the "root collection" of the current collection type. For this type of user, this root collection is shown in the collection picker dialog and they can select it. It is not visible in the dialog for users without super-admin permissions.
