UI Element | Menu | Description
--- | --- | ---
Assign as Default Application Area |  | When creating an application area resource in the Test Resources module, you can define a specific application area as the default one used for all components in the ALM project. For more details on application area, see Application Area Overview.
Collapse | View | Collapses all branches in the test resource tree.
Copy URL/Paste | Edit | Copies a selected resource and pastes its URL as a link. The resource itself is not copied. Instead, you can paste the address into another location, such as an email or a document. Clicking the link opens ALM and takes you to the resource file or folder. If you are not already logged in, ALM first prompts for login details.
Copy/Paste | Edit | Copies selected resources or folders within the same project or across projects. Note: When you copy a resource from one project to another, if the resource is dependent on other test resources, you can instruct ALM to copy using one of three methods. For details, see Paste Resources To Target Project Dialog Box. To copy resources across projects, both projects must use the same ALM version and patch level.
Delete | Edit | Deletes selected resources and folders from the test resource tree. If other entities depend on the resource, the Delete Resource dialog box opens. The related entities are displayed. Caution: If other entities depend on the resource, deleting the resource may impact these related entities. You can view related entities in the Dependencies tab. For details, see Dependencies Tab. Version Control: Deleting a resource deletes all previous versions of the resource.
Filter | View | Enables you to filter the resources in the test resource tree. For details, see Filter Dialog Box.
Expand All | View | Expands all branches in the test resource tree.
Cut/Paste | Edit | Moves selected resources to a different location in the test resource tree. Note: The root folder cannot be moved. Tip: You can also move a resource to a new location in the test resource tree by dragging it.
Find | Edit | Opens the Find dialog box, enabling you to search for a resource in the test resource tree. For details, see Find Dialog Box.
