(edit: oh great, now I see screenshots! Okay, judging by this, you are saying that this feature was available in the Java UI's "send to" but is missing in AWI, correct? Hm, Automic said they will duplicate all features of the Java UI to the AWI, but if something is missing people have still been refered to Ideation. Maybe a PM is reading this though and would comment).

Hi,
What client are you using? Isn't "sendTo" a feature of the old Java client? That ship has entirely departed and is gone beyond the horizon I'm afraid. The web client (AWI) appears to group both export and "Transport" under the "Transfer" menu.
In both cases, I honestly don't know about, nor do I think that this is a feature that simply needs to be enabled. Rationale: You can't really transport folders in Automic. The transport mechanism, afaik contains information about the source folder of a particular object, but does not contain mechanisms for transporting folders with all their content and sub-folders.
Of course, the workaround would be to go into the folders and multi-select all objects, and transfer them via the context menu. I seem to be able to select various object types for transporting at once with the AWI, as long as no folders are part of the selection.
Nevertheless, one could imagine that it might be possible for Automic to add such functionality to the AWI (not Java client), which would traverse the folder (and subfolders) and add all objects in it to the transport case. The way to request UI features is to create an entry in the Ideation (in the menu on top of these forums). Wouldn't hold my breath for a fast implementation though, experience shows that this is more of a gentle process.
Best regards,
Carsten

These contain very good advise on asking questions and describing supposed bugs (no, you do not need to go to StackExchange for Automic questions, but yes, the parts on asking detailed, useful questions ARE usually relevant):

Subject: Java UI features that are missing from AWI v12.2
Dear All,
We are using the feature "sendTo" / "senden an" in our transport mechanisms.
When right click on a folder, the "sendTo" option is not available. Is there any way to "enable" it, or is it a missing feature? On other objects this is available, but we would need it on the "Folder" object.
If it is missing, how can we get it implemented "quickly". We are planning to upgrade soon, but this is a feature that is heavily used and required by the customer.
Here the screenshot from 12.3.
Many thanks for your help,
Roman Embacher
