- nigeltoetNew MemberIn addition to being able to filter by visualisation, page and report, it would be useful to be able to group visualisations, so that the same filter can be applied to each of them. e.g. a group of different visualisations for sales targets by team so that it would be easy to change the team filtered for te group of visualisations compared to the entire department (on the same page)

- ddennisonNew MemberSimilar to how Photoshop groups layers... it would be nice (for example) to lock an image with visual(s), making it easier move around a page.

I am looking for a the possibility to see and hide/unhide with a selection pane (a-la-PowerPoint) the objects present in a report page. similarly I would also like to group/ungroup objects together (a-la-PowerPoint) - andrewt1New MemberThis is pretty basic UI functionality. As well as mouse click and drag for multi-selection, and arrow keys for incremental movement of selected items, and guidlines to show when elements are aligned. Without this, doing a complex visual layout is a miserable buisiness. When one element is beneath another, it's not possible to select multiple things to move together at the same time.

Totally agree. It is particularly difficult to select all objects where you have many of them stacked on top of each other and as a result you have to manually select. Not only that, but once you've moved them they become deselected again which is frustrating. - JorisNippurRegular VisitorIt could also be very handy to be able to minimize the group of visualisations. In this way you could hide/unhide all the report filters on a report for example.
- MegachuckmcFrequent VisitorCreating compelling visuals is the most difficult part of this tool. Grouping as well as guides and anchors would be greatly appreciated!
