View video overview of moving Categories and Courses in OLM here >>

Within OLM, moving a Category from one place to another is easy.  You can just select the radio button that corresponds to the Category you wish to move, hit the move button, and then choose the location you'd like to move it to before applying your changes.

In contrast, moving a Course requires a few extra steps that may not be all that intuitive for new OLM Administrators.

Here's a quick overview on the steps it takes to move a Course from one Category to another within your Oracle Learning Management Catalog:

• First, make a mental note of the name of the Category you are going to move your Course to;
• From the main Catalog page, navigate to the Category that currently contains the Course you wish to move;
• Click the blue Details icon that corresponds to the Course that is going to move;
• Navigate to the Categories link on the left-hand navigation menu;
• Click the Add button;
• Type the name (or at least the partial name) of the Category that you wish to move the Course too and hit the Tab key on your keyboard;

Side Note: The entry in this field corresponds to a list of values (all of your Categories), so OLM must find the name in its list before you continue).  If OLM doesn't automatically recognize the title that you entered, it may pop open a search window.  You can use the % character as a wild card to find your Category.

• Click Apply;

Now your Course is listed in multiple Categories.  It will appear in the Primary Category (the name that has the target icon next to it), and any other Category that appears on the list (including the one you just added).

 If you truly want to move the Course and not have it show up in two places, continue on with the next steps:

• Click the Set Primary Category button;
• Enter the name of the Category you just added to the Course (see the Side Note paragraph above if you have any issues);
• Click the Apply button;
• Click the Remove icon for any Category that is listed that you do not wish to have your Course appear in.  Only the Category set as the Primary Category cannot be removed from the list;
• Click the Yes button to confirm that this is really what you want to do.
