Nick Milburn 4 Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 (edited) The ability to drag and drop items in the device tree in order to reorganize them is a powerful feature, but the staggered manner in which the tree loads and expands on page load "encourages" a user to accidentally move folders and devices around in the tree, which leads to numerous detrimental effects (not the least is having to try and figure out where you accidentally moved them to). Request is to either introduce a safeguard prompt "Are you sure you wish to move X from Y to Z?" for all drag and drop actions within the device tree, or, alternately, introduce a configuration item on folders and devices allowing them to be "protected" against moves --- either adding a safeguard "are you sure...?" prompt for those specific items, or prevent moving them entirely without first taking the action to "unprotect" them.

Josh Selinger 4 Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 Yes this sounds like something that would be helpfull to us as well 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
David_WBA 3 Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 (edited) Totally agree that this feature is required. A lock property on the group that prevents moving would be ideal. We have had operational issues caused by accidental movement of groups, which then cause Dashboards and Alert rules to fail. The movement can sometimes be in place for a while before noticed. I would recommend this is implemented as soon as possible as it undermines the reliability of the product in senior management's eye.

Mosh 143 Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 (edited) But please make it so that the confirmation is an option which can be globally disabled in the main settings. We move devices around in groups a lot and it would be a pain if we had to confirm every move. Edited May 11, 2017 by Mosh 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jamiemurphyit 5 Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 PLEASE PLEASE bring this as a feature. This has caused alerts to not be routed because of an accidental change. Considering the way alert routing works by folder structure it is stupid that folders can be dragged and dropped WITHOUT confirmation. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LogicMonitor Staff Kenyon 0 Posted May 18, 2017 LogicMonitor Staff Share Posted May 18, 2017 (edited) Hi All, I definitely see the value in this, and I have pushed this suggestion/feedback to our UI and Product teams. Thanks so much for your feedback! Edited March 30, 2018 by Mike Suding Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jamiemurphyit 5 Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 Any update on this? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Marie Buckley 3 Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 (edited) This would be great as a device tree 'lock' button that you had to flip the switch to be able to move and the flip it to lock again when you've finished. Like Mosh said, drag and drop would be a pain if you had to acknowledge every single one if you were restructuring. Edited March 31, 2018 by Mike Suding 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
David_WBA 3 Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 Is there any update on if this has been accepted into development and if so when it is due for release please? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JPoffenroth 2 Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 I'm also wondering if there is an update on this. A lock/unlock button, or safeguard prompt is absolutely needed. We've had folders accidentally moved on several occasions, and fortunately it hasn't resulted in a major issue. However, anything to mitigate the risk is welcomed. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LogicMonitor Staff Linus 0 Posted August 3, 2018 LogicMonitor Staff Share Posted August 3, 2018 Hello everyone, Is anyone still interested in a safe-guard or lock function that prevents the accidental/unwanted movement of folders and devices within the device tree? Thanks, Linus Quote Link to post Share on other sites
