Move Rules

From the user interface, the following move rules apply:

• On the GUI, the only option shown on the drop-down is to move an item to a lower hierarchy.
• For the core application and the Overbuild tool:
  • LDAP device models can be moved to a hierarchy that is at or below the hierarchy where the device is located, regardless of the Network Device List Reference (NDLR).
  • Non-LDAP device models can be moved to a hierarchy where the device is located.
  • Non-LDAP device models can be moved to a hierarchy where the NDLR references the associated device.
  • Other instances at a hierarchy node can only be moved to a hierarchy that is below their current hierarchy.

Once the resource is moved, metadata of all the resources at the moved hierarchy and below is updated to indicate the latest changes in the hierarchy path.

Note

For User Management local administrators and users, where the language is derived from the default hierarchy language, the default language is recalculated based on the new hierarchy tree location.
