Rename and Move Files
Renaming Files
The Rename command allows the names of files and folders to be changed. To activate the dialog box, do one of the following:
• Click Rename from the File menu.
• Right-click on the selected file to bring up the File List Context Menu, select Rename.
• Select the F2 key.
A file cannot be renamed if it is currently checked out by anyone.
If a shared file is renamed, you cannot give it a name of any item (file or folder) that exists in any of the shared link’s parent folders. Changing only the case of the file name will work like any other file rename, including incrementing the version number.
If Auto-Commit has been selected (default), the files and folders will be renamed in the Vault repository immediately. If Auto-Commit has not selected, the files and folders will be renamed in the repository as part of the next check in transaction.
Please see Auto-Commit for more information.
Moving Files
The Move command allows you to move files from one folder to another. To activate the dialog box, click Move from the File menu.
Moving a file will lose any associations with working folders that currently exist. Inherited rights from parent folders do not move with the file.
If Auto-Commit has been selected (default), the files and folders will be moved in the Vault repository immediately. If Auto-Commit has not selected, the files and folders will be moved in the repository as part of the next check in transaction.
Please see Auto-Commit for more information.
