Moving a Task or Branch Using Drag-and-Drop
When you want to move a given task or branch, the simplest way is to use drag-and-drop. Using the mouse,
you can drag and drop tasks and branches only within a given process. To move tasks and branches
between different processes, see Cutting, Copying and Pasting Tasks and Branches.
When you move a task or branch using drag and drop, it typically moves from its original location to a
position immediately preceding the target onto which you dropped it. But if you drop an input task over an
unknown input task, the moved task will replace the unknown task. The same will happen if you drag an
output task over an unknown output task. Note that it is impossible to drag-and-drop any task over a
configured initial input or output task.
To move a task or branch using drag and drop:
1. In PReS Workflow Process area, click the icon of the task or branch you want to move.
2. While holding down the mouse button, drag the icon task or branch over another task or branch.
3. Release the mouse button to drop the dragged item. The dropped task or branch is moved above the
item over which it was dropped.
To duplicate a task or branch, the same method applies but with a slight difference:
1. In PReS Workflow Process area, click the icon of the task or branch you want to duplicate.
2. While holding down the mouse button, press and hold down the CTRLkey and drag the icon task or
branch over another task or branch.
3. Release the mouse button to drop the dragged item and release the CTRLkey. The dropped task or
branch is copied above the item over which it was dropped.
When you move a branch, all its tasks are also moved. When you move a conditional branch, all the tasks
appearing on the True side of the condition are also moved.
Note
You cannot drag a task or branch over an initial input task. Any input task that is dragged and dropped over an
unknown initial input task will replace it. The same is true of an output task that is dragged and dropped over an
unknown output task.
