NOTE: In order for Nintex Forms to be copied over successfully, you must first preconfigure Nintex forms on both the source and target, and must select Copy Forms in the Copy List/Library wizard, or the copy forms portion of the migration will not work.

4.Migrator will begin the process of copying the selected content and provide feedback via a status window. In the event that some type of error occurs during the operation, a report will be provided with a detailed description.

Copy, Move, and Tag SharePoint Content

SharePoint uses three primary methods for categorizing content:

·The hierarchy of sites, lists and folders (which is similar to how file systems store files in folders) and;

·Metadata (via content types and fields) to ‘tag’ or classify content for find-ability and filtering.

·AutoTagging (via fields) to automatically 'tag' or classify documents by their contents. For more information about AutoTag see Field Value Selection Screen.

info

NOTE: Auto Tagging is not available to Power User products.

Essentials has been designed to categorize content in bulk by leveraging one or all of the above mentioned methods. This section will walk you through the process of re-locating content to specific site collections, sites, lists and folders. You may also re-classify your content during the copy/move process. In combination, both processes significantly reduce the burden of organizing your content and making it easier to locate within the SharePoint environment.

1.In the navigator pane, locate the lists containing the content you wish to move or copy. Double-click on the list to load its contents into the Contents pane. If the site containing your content is not available in the navigator pane, follow the instructions for Connect to SharePoint.

2.From the list of items in the List/Library Contents pane, select all the items that you wish to transfer to a different location. Hold down the CTRL key to select multiple individual items or SHIFT key to select multiple consecutive items.
