Move Components

Point-and-Click Method

  1. In the Report Explorer, in the Outline pane, select the component that you want to move.

  2. Reposition the component in the setup hierarchy, using one of these approaches:

    • On the Report Explorer toolbar, use the move buttons.

    • From the Edit menu, use the move commands.

    • From the context menu of the component, use the move commands.

    Note

    The move buttons and commands are enabled only if they are valid in the context of the component to be moved. For example, if a component cannot move further to the right in the hierarchy, the Move Right button is disabled.

    The following table summarizes the available move buttons and commands.

    Move Command or ButtonEffect
    Move UpMoves a component ahead of the sibling that formerly preceded it in the hierarchy. If the component is the first child of its parent, the component becomes a sibling of its former parent.
    Move DownMoves a component after the sibling that formerly followed it in the hierarchy. If a component is the last sibling of its parent, it moves up one level in the hierarchy to become a sibling of its former parent.
    Move LeftMoves a component up one level in the hierarchy. The component becomes a sibling of its former parent.
    Move RightMoves a component down one level in the hierarchy. The component becomes the child of the sibling that formerly preceded it in the hierarchy.

Drag-and-Drop Method

  1. In the Report Explorer, in the Outline pane, select the component that you want to move.

  2. Drag the component and drop it on the component that you want to be its parent.
