Moving Items in Highlight
Overview
If the Network Explorer tree structure needs to be changed or a user or watch needs to be moved, follow the procedures shown below.
Note: moves are recorded in the Highlight Audit Log.
Move notes
Containers and test templates cannot be moved.
Discovered watches (for example, classes) will move automatically with their parent bearer except WAPs which can move independently from their controller
Moving a User
On the Admin Browse page, either open the containing folder or search for the user name to be moved.
Position the cursor over the user to be moved then drag and drop it into the target folder or location. Highlight will ask for confirmation - click Yes to confirm.
Moving a Watch
On the Admin Browse page, either open the containing location or search for the watch to be moved.
Position the cursor over the watch to be moved then drag and drop it into the target location (watches can only move to another location). Highlight will ask for confirmation - click Yes to confirm.
Note: Discovered watches (for example, classes) will move automatically with their parent bearer. This does not apply to Wireless Access Points (WAPs), see below.
See watches moving in the Edit watches video using drag and drop or clipboard methods
Moving a Controller Device
On the Admin Controllers page, open the folder or location containing the device to be moved.
Position the cursor over the device to be moved then drag and drop it into the target location (devices can only move to another location which has been manually created not auto-generated). Highlight will ask for confirmation - click Yes to confirm.
Note: All associated watches (including pending watches) will move automatically with their parent device. The number of non-pending watches moving with the device is shown on drag and in the confirmation message.
Controller devices can also be moved via the clipboard - see below.
Once a controller device has been moved out of its auto-generated location, it cannot be moved back to its original location
Moving WiFi Access Points and Controllers
It is possible to move Wireless Access Points (WAPs) away from their controller, unless the controller was created in Highlight using the legacy bearer method. Note: WAPs can only be moved to locations below the controller's folder in the tree structure.
On the Admin Browse page, either open the containing location or search for the item to be moved.
Position the cursor over the item to be moved then drag and drop it into the target location (WAPs and controllers can only move to another location). Highlight will ask for confirmation - click Yes to confirm.
This icon is shown if a Wireless Access Point (WAP) is now in a location separate from its controller.
To view the full path to the location of the controller, hover on the controller name.
From the WAP, you can click the controller to edit it
Moving a legacy controller will also move its associated WAPs.
Moving a Location
On the Admin Browse page, either open the containing folder or search for the location name to be moved.
Position the cursor over the location to be moved then drag and drop it into the target folder. Highlight will ask for confirmation - click Yes to confirm.
See locations moving in the Manage locations video using drag and drop or clipboard methods
Moving a Folder
On the Admin Browse page, either open the containing folder or search for the folder name to be moved.
Position the cursor on the folder to be moved then drag and drop it into the target folder. Highlight will ask for confirmation - click Yes to confirm.
See folders moving in the Manage folders video using drag and drop or clipboard methods
Moving via the Clipboard
Move to clipboard: As an alternative to drag and drop, you can move an item or multiple items to another folder or location by clicking the clipboard on the right to temporarily store the item. Any number of items can be selected before moving them. Then use Network Explorer to navigate to the new folder or location and click on the item in the clipboard to complete the move. Repeat if needed.
See an example of moving multiple items using the clipboard in the Edit watches video
Move notes
Containers and test templates cannot be moved.
Discovered watches (for example, classes) will move automatically with their parent bearer except WAPs which can move independently from their controller
Remove from clipboard: When an item is removed from the clipboard, it does not affect the original Highlight entry. You can remove items from the clipboard by clicking on the bin icon to the right of each item or close the clipboard using the X and click for this message:
