Modifying toolbars


Moving things around on your Unicorn toolbars is a little more complicated than adding or removing, because Unicorn doesn't like duplicate wizards. It will let you add a duplicate wizard to another part of your toolbar, but if you then try to rearrange its placement, it balks.

SO: to move an entire group you go into your Local Toolbar Management (see the Placing a Blanket Hold posting) and right-click on the group (Holds, Users, Items, Special, In-transit) that you want to move. Select 'Copy' and then select 'Remove'.
Now, go to the group next to where you want your 'removed' group to be located (you will be able to past the 'removed' group either above or below the highlighted group). Right-click on the new location, and select either 'Paste Before' or 'Paste After', depending on where you want it to go.
To move a wizard up and down the list within a group, you follow the same steps as for a group, only you are moving it around within a specific group. If you click on the 'Paste' option, and you get a message stating "The Wizard already exists in the toolbar", it means that the wizard is duplicated somewhere else in your toolbar - perhaps in another group - and needs to be removed.
If you want to have duplicate wizards in different groups, you will only be able to manipulate the precise location of one of them. Once that wizard is positioned exactly the way you want it, you can go back and add duplicates to other groups in your toolbar, but they will always be positioned at the bottom of the list within those groups.
