Moving folders

You can move folders by changing the parent folder path. For example, you may want to move an existing folder if the folder hierarchy changes or change the path if you selected the wrong parent for a new folder.

You can also drag folders to other folders in the Folders list.

Keep the following in mind:

  • You cannot move a public folder to a different parent folder if you do not have permission to modify the parent folder. You also cannot move a folder to a locked folder, which is indicated by a lock icon. See Managing access to folders.
  • Test case suite folders can only contain other test suite folders, and test run suites can only contain other test run suite folders. You can add test case and test run suite folders to other folder types.

1. Click Move Folder next to the folder path in the folder details when you are adding or editing a folder.

The Select Parent Folder dialog box opens.

2. Select the folder to add or move the folder to. You can also search for a folder or click the Filter button to filter the list by folder type.

Click the Expand All button to expand all folders or the Collapse All button to collapse expanded folders.

Tip:  You can add and pin folders in this dialog box. To add a new folder, click the Add button next to the folder to add it to. To pin a folder to only display it and its subfolders, click Pin Button.

3. Click Set As Parent.

The folder path is updated.

Note:  If the folder you are moving is shared with specific security groups and the destination folder has different access settings, you are prompted about moving the folder without sharing it with the groups. Click Move Folder to move it without applying the access settings. After moving the folder, you can change the access for it. See Editing folder details.

4. Click Save to save the changes.

The folder is added or moved to the selected parent folder.
