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

RE: group objects

It would be really helpful if one could create groups of items, and be able to select all these items in one click from a layer list in the left pane. In addition this would make it much easier to control foreground or background placement of multiple items.
-A bit similar to how Photoshop uses layes.

Agree with Jonas below.
RE: group objects
Any proved solution for the Drag to select? we have a hot requirement to selecting a group of objects and add populate the details in other visual.
RE: group objects
In addition to lasso selection, it would be extremely helpful to have the ability to move multiple objects via keyboard functions rather than dragging with the mouse. They tend to get rather wonky when dragging several objects at a time.
RE: group objects
Agreed, grouping and layers is a much needed feature.
RE: group objects
This really needs to be done - having to Ctrl+click every time you want to select more than one component is really frustrating
RE: group objects
It 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.
RE: group objects
Creating compelling visuals is the most difficult part of this tool. Grouping as well as guides and anchors would be greatly appreciated!
RE: group objects
Agreed, especially useful for me when building a search type page with several slicers.
RE: group objects
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.
