  • Description - optionally, enter rule description.

    • Select objects that will be moved
      • All objects - choose this option if this rule can move an object of any type.
      • Objects of types - choose object types this rule can move.

    • Select parent object(s) from which the objects will be moved
      • Anywhere - this rule can move objects from anywhere in the object tree.
      • Selected parent objects - select specific folders this rule can move objects from.
      • Parent objects of types - select specific type of parent objects this rule can move child object from.
  • To

    • Select where the objects will be moved

      • Parent object - select single folder object this rule will move object into.
      • Parent objects of type - select single type of parent object this rule will move object into.

    • Condition - enter a logical expression that must be true for and object to be moved. E.g., the expression [$Object.NodeCust.User$] = [$To.NodeCust.User$] moves objects that have a User property into parent objects whose User property has the same value.

      After the NodeCust, you can specify any object property by its database name (see Administration - Asset Management - Property definitions - Column table column).

      You can also use operators (AND, OR, ...) and functions (SUBSTRING, TRIM, LEN, ...) similar to MS SQL expressions in the condition expression.
