Copying or moving documents
The Copy or Move function in FileHold allows you to make a copy of a document and/or move it to another location in the library.
In order to move or copy documents, Document Publishers and Publishers need to have ownership of the document. To move all versions of a document, they must be the owners of all versions. Users who are Organizers or higher permissions can move documents owned by anyone. Restrictions on where a document can be moved to will apply.
In the FileHold Desktop Application, documents can also be moved using the drag and drop feature. You can drag and drop one or more documents at a time. The Document Name Column must be selected in order to drag the documents to a new folder location. Documents can be moved via drag and drop from the folder view, search results view, virtual folders, document tray, document alerts, document reminders, recently accessed and recently added views to another folder in the library tree. You cannot drag and drop documents to the Recent Folders locations.
Documents cannot be copied or moved if:
- They are under a workflow
- They are checked out
- The user does not have proper permissions
