| Copy | A copy of the object is placed in the destination location. | Control |
| Link | A reference is placed in the destination location which refers to the object in its source location. | Control and Shift |
When you drag and drop an object, the mouse pointer indicates the type of information in the object. This is known as the drag source. Table A-13 describes the mouse pointer icons.
| Icon | Object |
|---|---|
| An Event List Configuration Object. |
This object appears in the Conductor and indicates a drag and drop operation of an Event List configuration within the Conductor. | |
| A Filter Object. |
This object can appear when you drag and drop a filter. This can occur between the Filter Builder, Conductor, Event List, or Objective View. | |
| A View Object. |
This object can appear when you drag and drop a view. This can occur between the View Builder, Conductor, Event List, or Objective View. | |
| A Map Object. |
This object appears in the Conductor and indicates a configuration (also known as a map) of an Objective View. | |
| A user. |
This object appears in the User Administration tool to show that a user is being added or removed by a drag and drop operation. | |
| A View Column. |
This object appears in the View Builder and indicates drag and drop of a column between the column display and the available field list. | |

You can only drop objects on valid drop sites. When you drag the pointer, a status image shows whether or not the drop site is valid.
Table A-14 describes the icons that appear for each status.
| Status Image | Pointer Color | Status |
| Green | The pointer is over a valid drop site that can accept the object. Dropping the object with this status causes the drag and drop operation to complete. |
| Red | The pointer is over a valid drop site, however, the site cannot accept the type of object. Dropping the object with this status causes the drag and drop operation to abort. |
| Black | The pointer is not over a drop site and the object cannot be dropped. Dropping the object with this status causes the drag and drop operation to abort. |
