I would like to group visuals, textboxes and shapes to create custom features and presentations in the reports.

RE: group objects

Hello, a feature to PIN grouped objects to a dashboard would so much be appreciated here - are there plans?

RE: group objects

Thanks for adding the group visuals feature. I tried it out and I can group visuals just fine, but can't move the group around the canvas. Resizing works, but I can't just drag the group around the canvas. Is this by design?

RE: group objects

If you can make it similar to that of "Select" in Paint which selects an area, so that when I select an area, all objects within that area can be selected automatically which can then be sized, moved around easily , you would make a developer's life much easier without having to worry about adding the objects to a group.

RE: group objects

PLEASE! Make the UI movement experience just like visio! It is currently really painful

RE: group objects

Grouping buttons and elements for the visual design aspect is very important and convenient. Also multi-select keyboard nudge of objects would be very useful.
