+ | ====== Move a sub-element to another Element ====== | ||
+ | In RIMMF, a "sub-element" is an element that has another non-root element as its immediate parent. | ||
+ | |||
+ | In the following snap | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{:howto:sub-elements.png|}} | ||
+ | |||
+ | * //Title proper// and //Other title information// are sub-elements of __Title__ | ||
+ | * //Place of publication//, //Publisher's name//, and //Date of publication// are sub-elements of __Publication statement__ | ||
+ | |||
+ | The indentations used in the RIMMF interface supply a visual indicator of whether something is a sub-element or not. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The collapse/expand indicator (to the left of __Title__ and __Publication statement__) indicates whether an element has sub-elements. (If there are no sub-elements, then there is nothing to collapse or expand, and that indicator will not appear). | ||
+ | |||
+ | By default, RIMMF places a constraint on sub-elements. This means, we can't grab the //Publisher's name//, for example, and move it into the __Title__ group. | ||
+ | |||
+ | But sometimes we need to be free of this constraint. To do this, go to the **Options** menu and select **Remove element constraints** | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{:howto:remove_constraints.png|}} | ||
+ | |||
+ | Once that's been done, we are free to move sub-elements as needed. |
