OTBI - Add confirmation challenge for object move (drag and drop) in Catalog

Chris Pfeifer

Organization Name (Required - If you are an Oracle Partner, please provide the organization you are logging the idea on behalf of):

University of California San Diego

Description (Required):

Frequently, we are finding that our authors (report developers) are accidentally moving Catalog objects into other folders without their knowledge, resulting in the "disappearance" of those objects from the known location. The drag and drop process for Catalog objects currently has no confirmation dialog box popping up to challenge the move. However, deleting or overwriting an existing object does have a confirmation challenge.

We would like to see a confirmation challenge dialog box appear for moving a Catalog object.

Use Case and Business Need (Required):

Adding a confirmation challenge dialog box for moving (dragging and dropping) a Catalog object into another location would prevent accidental disappearances of Catalog objects and increase the integrity/stability of the Catalog.

Enhancement Request / Service Request:

NA

It will be highly appreciated if Oracle implement such solution, i.e. option to enable/disable/confirmation when drag and drop report/folder. We definitely need that.

Hello, Oracle? I submitted this IDEA a year and a half ago. Are there ANY updates? Is ANYONE in Development looking at this? Seems like a quick & easy win for Dev and a great benefit to us customers.

FYI - I'm still seeing OTBI folders and objects "disappearing by accident" by users who did not realize they moved them.

Please fix this.
