How to move process model from one folder to another

FYI this is a very old thread. Designer is much more solidified and prevalent now than it was around the 17.x - 18.x switch over (back then there were still elements of the "old designer" in use).

Your instructions are correct (though duplicates of previous, if less detailed comments); the one thing I'd add to this for people not familiar with it already, is the "Move" button will be disabled if the process model is open for editing anywhere (and with no explanation). Once the model is closed, the button will be enabled again.

Interestingly, the pre-18.x functionality (using the "open process model" dialog from the modeller) still appears to work. In some cases this can actually be quite a bit less of a hassle, since normally it's a 5-or-10-click process to actually get to the process model folder a particular model is in. I kinda wish there were a way to directly access and/or edit the process model's parent folder from the Process Model Properties dialog - it seems like something that should be standard.

The most efficient and easiest way to move objects (including Process Models as well) is:

->Open your Application designer

-> Switch to Hierarchical View

-> Get into the folder where your object is currently stored in

-> Find your object(s) and select them

-> Click on the Move option popped up when you select the object(s)

-> Specify/Browse the destination Folder and click Move

Your task will be done in no time and you can do this with any object/folder you want!

In 17.4 and earlier, the advice left by in the first comment here is correct; there should be no need to manually override / save new versions etc.

Thanks for your reply. I am using 17.4. Had to manually save process models with different name in different folder.

Hi,
It depends which Appian version are you working with.
With 18.1, its easy to move, you just have to go to the process model folder from where you want to move the PMs, select the process models to be moved, click on the move action on the top pane, then mention the target folder.
Thats easy!

According to this , I created a new process model folder in the same existing application which already has an existing process model folder with all the processes in it .Now i traverse the existing process model folder ,select the processes which i need to move to the newly created folder and then when i select the destination folder and hit on move It is throwing me an error saying the folder doesn't exist or has been deleted.

Note: I have set the security of the newly created process model folder to editor access so that it doesn't create an issues while moving .But still it did

Please suggest.

Hi Vikrant ,

The only way to move a model is through the modeler. File -> Open. Select your model and you can move it from there.

Thanks
