Overview 
.........

Automate allows you to move number inventory instances to a selected hierarchy.
It is particularly useful to *bulk load* number inventory instances that need to be moved.

The feature is available as a view, ``view/move_data_ini``, which can be added manually as a menu item on an 
administrator menu layout if needed.

.. note::

   Access profile permissions have already been added for all administrator levels to create, read, and export a 
   bulk load template of this view.


Move a number on the view
...........................

To use move a number on the view:  

1. Select the **Internal Number**.
2. Select the **Move To Hierarchy** to move the number to.
3. Click **Save** to carry out the move operation.

Bulk load
.........

More typically, the view can be used in a bulk load sheet.
After exporting the view as a bulk load sheet, the exported sheet
header row will be similar to the following:

::

   entity: view/move_data_ini; 
   hierarchy: sys; 
   parallel: False; 
   parallel_transaction_limit: ; 
   template: ; 
   meta_prefix: $; 
   evaluate_macros: False

Columns are then available for:

* **Comment**: to comment an entry if needed
* **Hierarchy Node** (``$hierarchy``): for the source hierarchy
* **Action** (``$action``): value is always ``add`` 
* **Internal Number** (``$internal_number``): for the number to move
* **Move To Hierarchy** (``move_to_hn``): for the target hierarchy
