Special Conditions
-
The software does not allow you to drag items to incompatible hierarchies. For example, you cannot drag a rack to device panel or a plug-and-socket junction box.
-
The software does not allow you to move an item that contains a child item that cannot be moved. For example, you cannot move a rack if it contains an I/O card that functions as a primary or secondary I/O card for an I/O termination.
-
In an owner operator domain, you cannot move items that have not been claimed for the current project.
