#Move Objects to a New Location

AvePoint Opus supports moving physical boxes/folders/records to a destination location.

To move physical boxes/folders, complete the following steps:

1. Navigate to Physical records > Explorer.

2. Select the physical boxes/folders that you want to move to a new location.

3. Click Move.

4. In the Move window, select a destination location from the tree.

5. Select a conflict resolution if a box/folder with the same name already exists in the destination. Note that the relationship among related records will be removed if you choose to overwrite the destination file.

   • Skip and keep the destination object

   • Overwrite the destination object

   • Add a suffix to the file when moved to the destination

6. Click Save to save the configurations.

The following scenarios will occur:

• If source folders are already on hold, but the destination box is not on hold, the folders will remain on hold in the destination after being moved.

• If source folders are not on hold, but the destination box is already on hold, the folders will be placed on hold using the hold in the destination after being moved.

• If both source folders and the destination box are already on hold, a Conflict resolution window appears. Select an option to prevent the conflict:

  • Use the destination hold – Use the hold defined on the box to hold the box and all of the contained folders.

  • Use the hold with longer duration – Compare the hold duration time and use the longest one to hold the box and all of the contained folders.

To move physical records to a new physical folder, complete the following steps:

2. Select the physical records that you want to move to a new folder.

3. Click Move.

4. In the Move window, select a destination folder from the tree.

5. Click Save to save the configurations.

   • If the record's template does not already exist in the destination folder, it will be added automatically.

   • When Enforce column inheritance is enabled in the folder template, the record’s property values are automatically updated to match those of the destination folder.
