When moving reason codes on the same server, the operation is a move. The reason code is added to the new location and removed from the previous parent reason code.
When dragging reason codes from one Data Archive server to another, the selected reason code and any child reason codes are copied. A reason code with the same title and description is created on the target server, but not removed from the source server.
To reverse this behavior, hold down the Shift key while dragging and dropping the reason code. This is the same behavior exhibited in Windows Explorer when dragging files between folders on different drives.
During the drag procedure, the mouse cursor updates to reflect whether a copy or a move operation would occur on drop. A move mouse cursor is an arrow with a small rectangle. The copy cursor is similar except uses a plus-sign.
