Set the material types that cannot float

Even if an item belongs to a collection that a home branch allows to float, the home branch can prevent certain material types from floating.

To set the material types that the home branch is not willing to allow to float, even if the items belong to a collection that is allowed to float:

Note:
You need the system-level System Administration permission Modify floating material types table: Allow to do this procedure.

  1. In the Administration Explorer tree view, open the Policy Tables folder for the home branch, and select Floating: Material Types. The Floating: Material Types table is displayed in the details view.

Note:
To better manage memory, a program-defined row limit determines if this table can be opened at a specific organizational level. For example, if the table is opened at the system level and would require more than the limit (comprising entries from all branches) to be loaded, you will see a message advising you to open the table at a lower organizational level.

  1. In the Material Type list, select a material type that should not float from the home branch. Press CTRL+click or SHIFT+click to select multiple material types. By default, Can float for each material type is set to Yes.
  2. Click ModIcon00510.gif. The Modify box opens.

  1. Change Can Float to No, and click OK.
  2. Repeat steps 2-4 to designate additional material types that should not float.
