Transferring Ownership of Newsletters, Searches, and Source Lists on Newsdesk (Shared Asset Transfer)

Nexis Newsdesk^® has added a new option named Shared Asset Transfer which allows Admin users to move Newsdesk-created content from one user to another. This includes searches, analyses, newsletters, etc. with the introduction of this feature: 

• Newsdesk content, including saved searches and newsletters, are no longer locked in a user account and inaccessible once that user account is deactivated. 
• Newsdesk content is moved from one user account to another in one quick and simple flow.
• What assets are transferred?
  • Analyses
  • Exports
  • Dashboards
  • Manage Themes
  • Newsletters
  • Saved Searches
  • Sources Lists
• The transfer is all or nothing. Specify content, such as Newsletters, cannot be transferred alone.

Note: After transferring Newsdesk content to another ID, the original ID is not deactivated or deleted by the system. The original ID remains active and is able to create new content, however, it no longer has access to the transferred content. 

Note:  Shared Asset Transfer is only available for  IDs under the same account.
