I need to move all the objects in my map to create space for changed layout. Not easy to do one by one when you have very complex design. s there a way to do this ?
Thanx all

I want to add my vote for this feature. PLEASE! This would be a huge help when designing/updating maps.

Hi, I counted your vote for the feature mykl_74.

This would be a really useful feature. Having to move a hundred different objects one at a time (sometimes multiple times to get it just right) is quite a chore.
I don't necessarily care about being able to edit multiple objects at once (although it would be nice), just being able to move objects would be enough.

Consider your vote counted :)

There have been at least 15 updates since this topic was last visited. Is there anything we as users can do to get this implemented? Anytime I have to update maps like this one it takes me way longer than it should:
Can we get into the code of the map itself and do our own copying and pasting? I'll take just about anything that doesn't require me to click and drag a hundred different icons.

The map editor will get revamped in the course of the next year. Selecting multiple objects will probably be a part of the rewrite. As always, I can't give a ETA of that.

Any update on this feature? We're deploying maps extensively and updating maps is becoming a very laborious task. Thanks.

Unfortunately not, sorry. Please bear with us :)

Hi!
When is the important wish of 2013!! finally implemented?
Votes:
I wish too that this important feature will be implementet soon. This would realy help to modify a map.

Hi Argast and others,
It sure is within our backlog, but it won't happen 2017. It will be implemented once the map editor gets a major overhaul, but I can't tell you when that will be.
Kind regards,

Crossing My fingers also for 2018 because it would be a very good update :)

Any news on this? Having to move one object at-a-time is a waste of time so we have not been able to make use of "maps" .... but need to so better editing features would help. Please!
Votes:
It's still on the map for our map overhaul. But there's still no ETA on this. Rest assured, we haven't forgot about that, there are just other major construction sites within PRTG we need to address first.

" Hi, this feature is planned to be implemented in the near future! Please bear with us. Created on Jan 18, 2013 2:56:14 PM by Gerald Schoch [Paessler Support] "
5 years have passed since that reply... It shouldn't take you that long to implement such a simple 'feature'. We only use your maps, nothing else but if it takes ages to create one, we have to consider finding another product and not prolong our license with you. Like seriously....more than 5 years?
Votes:
I know that it's more than subpar not having feature requests implemented for that long, but the map editor will be addressed sooner or later. It's not just implementing some fancy JavaScript and new CSS:
A lot of man hours required for that, which we are currently implementing in other areas of PRTG, as mentioned already. Grafana is something I'd recommend here as an alternative, but it doesn't have multi-select as well ;)
Kind regards,

Any news regarding this, while there's an understanding you're working on other features, this really should have been implemented by now (5 years and counting)?
Votes:
Rest assured that we'll take the ideas of our users into consideration regarding the new map editor :)
Kind regards,

Sorry, no news on that front. As it's a major feature, it'll be rather prominent on https://www.paessler.com/prtg/history/stable, so you won't miss it once it's out :)

Hi there, here we are in november 2020 - and I just spent 1 hour moving my 250 little icons manually like I always was. just want to kindly remind you that the option of selecting multiple objects is still as pertinent now as when it was asked for some years ago. looking forward to the annoucment that mission is accomplished, Michel Lapointe

Hi,
Thanks for bringing this one up again. We're doing our best behind the scenes :) The new webinterface is being worked on extensively and hopefully, will come with a new map editor. But I can't give an ETA here I'm afraid :(
With kind regards,
Stephan Linke, Technical Support Team

Hallo, can you specify a release date of this much needed feature (move several selected objects together in maps)? Quarter or at least the year? Best Regards
Votes:
Hello Tobias,
This feature won't be implemented in the current web interface of PRTG but may be integrated on the new one on which our developers are currently working on. I'm afraid that we can't provide an ETA right now.
Regards.

8 Years have gone by and still haven't managed to implement grouping into the tool... I'm sorry, but this should be very embarrassing. Honestly, it's unacceptable. Get this done yesteryear.

Hello,
Thank you for your message.
Our development team finished their workshop regarding the new maps designer however I will push this feature request again to make sure that it is taken into account.
Regards.

And? This is a pretty basic feature from a UI perspective. While it may be complex to implement with your technology, 8 years should be more than enough to have found a way to do this.
Votes:
Hello Miles,
I sincerely apologize that the feature didn't made it to the current map designer. I have forwarded the feature request to our developers as mentioned earlier.
Please, note that the current map designer has technical limitations which prevent the developers to add all requested functionalities. This is the reason why our development team worked on a new web interface which will get rid of them and make the implementation of features more easier. A new map designer is planned as well, and the developers are taking into account the feature requests we collected for it.
Regards.

Hello, I'm sorry to take back again this theme but It's been almost a decade and I just literally move around +1k little HTML boxes. Its anywhere soon an update to fix this once for all? Is annoying to manage any map in PRTG plus all the internal modifications you want to do in an HTML. I can't put the CSS on it to help make a map better visually (That's the main theme in our maps) or whatever method to make it better for a client interface. Please, I think it has been a long time with this request and you should consider seriously change the way maps work or introduce at least a pack of updates to it.

Hello,
Unfortunately, we have no new update on this, and this feature is not yet on our Roadmap. However, you may always refer to our Roadmap to see the selected overview of PRTG features we are currently working on or will work on in the future.
Kind regards,

Following this request and many others, not fond of posting though. After several years, I do post here, just to vent my frustration with the way PRTG handles requests. It is simply infuriating that such basic and valid requests are permanently delayed. At least be upfront and say that it will NOT be implemented...

Hello,
We understand your disappointment. There are plans to develop a new Map designer for the new UI that we are currently working on. The new designer will hopefully address many of the issues and difficulties that customers encounter with the current Map designer. Unfortunately, we do not have any ETA for this, since work on it will probably not be started until the new UI is finished.
Kind regards,
Muna Azmi - Tech Support Team
