How can I move a database?

Databases can be moved to folders (or to users) without affecting the operation of the database.

Procedure

  1. In Data, click View Data or Manage.
  2. Select the check box next to the database name.
  3. Click Move To.
  4. Choose Move to folder or Move to user.
  5. If you select Move to folder:, the Move Database dialog box opens. Do the following.
    • Select the database type.
    • Select a Shared or Private folder for the database.
    • Click OK.
    Note: Acoustic Campaign ONLY allows movement of objects from Private to Shared folders; not from Shared to Private folders. If you are working on a project in the Private folder, you are allowed to move it to the Shared folder where all users can view and use the object. However, once the project is in Shared, it cannot be taken from organizational public visibility and placed in the Private directory.
  6. If you select Move to user, the Move to User dialog box opens. Do the following.
    1. Select a user from the drop-down menu.
      Note: Only users within your organization appear in the drop-down menu.
    2. Click OK.

      The database name no longer appears in View Data.

    3. Enter a new unique name and click OK.

      The database appears in View Data in the new folder location and continues to appear in reports.
