      Transfer an Item

      Move an Item from one Location to another.

      KaiNexus identifies the Location in which the work on an Item was done — the Responsible Location. If you want to change the item’s Responsible Location(s), you can transfer it.

      Two Line OfieOnly Items using the "Standard" Team Type can be transferred. To see what Team Type your Item uses, open the Item and hover the template icon next to its title.


      When an Item is transferred:

      • People who are normally notified of new Items in the new Location will receive a notification.
      • People who have asked to be notified about Items that are transferred into the new Location will be notified.

      Who can transfer an Item?

      • The Assigner.
      • Anyone with the "Assign" permission for Items in this Item's Location(s).

      Two Line OfieIf you have the right permissions but can't transfer an Item, the transfer capability may have been disabled for this Item's Template. Reach out to your Customer Success Manager to confirm.
