Move microarray design/set

If you are a registered user, you can move a microarray design/set with any status to another folder, provided you own the design/set and have access privileges for the destination folder. However, you cannot move an individual microarray design that is part of a microarray set. You also cannot move eArray_XD microarray designs.

If your intent is to share a microarray design/set with other users in a new or existing collaboration, use the Share function, which is specifically designed to facilitate this process. It creates a new collaboration space, if needed. This is a good way to share your custom microarrays with others who are outside of your organization or workgroup, or who may not be current eArray users. See Share microarray design/set.

Search or browse for the desired microarray design or set.

eArray displays a list of microarray designs or sets.
Select the desired designs/sets. Use the following as a guide:
- To select a design/set, mark the check box next to its name. You can select more than one design/set.
- To select all designs/sets on a page of results, mark the check box in the column heading row.
- To navigate among multiple pages of results, use the Pages links. eArray remembers your selections as you go from one page to another.
- To sort the results based on the contents of any column (except Actions), click the desired column heading. To reverse the order of the items in the list, click the column heading again.
Click Move.

The Move Design(s) page appears in a new window. The name of each selected design/set appears in the Microarray Name column, and its current location appears in the From Folder column.
In the To Folder column, select a destination folder for each design/set. The lists contain the folders to which you have access.
In Probe Group Move Option, select one of the two options described below. eArray cannot move a microarray design/set if it contains a probe group used by another design/set. This option defines how eArray handles this situation, should it arise.
- Make copy if used in other designs – eArray makes a copy of the probe group, and moves this copy with your design/set.
- Cancel move if used in other designs – eArray cancels the move if your design/set contains a probe group that is used in another design/set.
Click Move.

eArray moves the selected designs/sets. The Move design(s) action details list appears, with a list of the designs/sets that eArray attempted to move, and the locations involved. If the move was successful, Successful appears in the Result column. If not, Failed appears, and eArray displays the reason in the Message column.
