Description
Need to have alert/confirmation window pop when drag and dropping catalog items (e.g., folders, reports, projects, prompts...) from current location to another.
Use Case and Business Need
When you drag and drop a folder, for example, in the catalog, there should be a window that confirms you want to move the object to the new location.
This will prevent those with modify permissions (content authors) from accidentally moving folders, etc. into another location breaking user access to reporting.
More details
We've been using OBIEE/Oracle Analytics for 8 years, and with so many users managing content, folders have been mistakenly dragged into another folder numerous times over the years. If people aren't paying close attention, it's pretty easy to do this without even knowing it. All of that content now has a new path and breaks all current links people (or dashboards/analyses) have to those reports/dashboards, etc.
It's basically like the reporting was deleted (until the new location is found and it's moved back). I believe folder permissions are reset on doing this to inherit the new parent folder's permissions which introduces security concerns.
