  4. Select Move from the Bulk actions dropdown menu.
  5. Select the organisations from the left-hand column you wish to move, then click Add to add them to the right-hand column (hold the Ctrl key to select multiple items).
  6. Select the Parent position to which you wish to move the selected position items using the Move selected positions to dropdown menu.
  7. Click Move.
