Moving an image file consists of moving it from its existing location to a new location and deleting it from its original location. Copying an image file creates a copy of it in a new location, but does not delete the original file.
To move an image of an eSlide or specimen, do the following:
Go to the list page for the image you want to move.
Select one or more items by clicking the check box beside them.
From the command bar at the top of the item list, click Move.
On the Move Image page, click Browse to navigate to the destination folder to which you wish to move the image.
Click Move to proceed or Cancel if you do not want to move the image.
To copy an image of an eSlide or specimen, do the following:
Go to the list page for the image you want to move.
Select one or more images by clicking the check box beside them, then click Copy.
If you are copying an eSlide, a drop-down selection box will appear beside the command link, prompting you to select either Image Files Only or Data and Images.
Select Copy, and the Copy Images page appears.
Click Browse to navigate to the folder you wish to copy the image to.
Click Copy to copy the image or Cancel to abandon the operation.
You can also clone an image file or other Aperio eSlide Manager data to parent data (for example, cloning a specimen to a case). The Clone To command makes a copy of the child data and assigns it to a new or existing parent data whether or not it is assigned to parent data. Using the Cloned To command allows you to share data between data hierarchies or between data groups. The cloned child data is treated as a separate entity. For example, annotations made on a cloned eSlide that is part of a project are not visible in the same image in a case.
The Clone To command is available on all list pages that contain the Assign To command. For more information on cloning data, see Cloning Child Data.
