Surveyor – moving items in bulk

Solved1.42K views12th July 2023Cube measurement points spectrum Surveyor views

Hi Dojo,

Is there a way to move multiple items at once in Surveyor? For example, if we need to distribute a large number of automatically generated elements or services to correct views. Drag-and-drop each item is not efficient and prone to human error. Being able to select a batch of elements and drag-and-drop them would certainly help.

Our specific use case is about visualized Spectrum Analyzer measurement points. They are created in the same view as the Spectrum element itself. In our case, there are about 200 measurement points that have to be dragged and dropped one by one to their respective sub-views (distributed per site). Do you know if there is a more efficient way to do that?

Below is a little illustration of the problem:

Thanks!

Thanks for the link Bert, a very helpful thread indeed. In summary:
– Multiple drag-and-drop as you suggested only allows copying of items, not moving (checked in DM 10.2-CU6). Is this a bug or a design limitation?
– CSV export doesn’t work for measurement point “services”, unfortunately.
– Editing Views.xml is probably our best option, albeit a risky one.
