Move a single asset from an asset page

How asset assignments change when moving assets between domains

The domains to which you can move an asset depend on the domain types assigned to the asset type through global and scoped assignments. When you move an asset, the list of target domains includes only those whose domain types are assigned to the asset type of the asset.

When you move an asset from one domain to another, the target domain's domain type determines which assignment applies to the asset. If the target domain's domain type has a different scope (for example, scoped instead of global), the asset's characteristics will change to reflect the assignment for that scope.

Consider the following example:

• Domain1 with DomainType1 that is added to an asset type's global assignment.
• Domain2 with DomainType2 that is added to the same asset type's scoped assignment.

When you move an asset from Domain1 to Domain2, the asset no longer follows the global assignment, but follows the scoped assignment of DomainType2.
