Detaching a branch

You can detach a room and all of its children from the room tree without deleting any rooms. After you detach the branch of rooms, you can find it in Detached Rooms and reattach it to the same or another parent room. Detached rooms cannot be found in the rooms tree and they cannot be found in searches.

Only a system administrator can detach a branch. If you do not have the administrative privileges to perform this task, talk with your library's administrator for additional help.

Changes you make to the room tree structure or to room content will not be available to patrons until you run the SD_CONTENT_EXTRACTOR task. For more information, see Scheduled Tasks.
