Move PI Vision Folders

Currently, you cannot rearrange PI Vision Folders. Adding the ability to drag and drop folders to restructure the hierarchy would be much more efficient than having to create a new structure and then move all displays into new folders.

Over time, folder structures used by several users tend to get a little messy with similar folders or subfolders being created in wrong parent folders. Right now the only possibility to clean up folder structures is to move every single display to a different folder. I am missing the possibility to move a complete subfolder to a different parent folder, so that I don't have to do this for each display on its own.

      It is ironic that the drag and drop function is accessible through the Feedback Portal but not available on a tool that is widely used. This is a simple enhancement that would make is so much easier to manage the file structure in Vision. Please make this a high priority as this would be extremely helpful!

      (Customer feedback) Agreed. This is a tremendous pain when you have a well-developed folder hierarchy and need to move it around. Please make this a priority.

      Additional functionality of the PI Vision display utility to mass edit folders would also be extremely helpful.

      This would be a huge help for process engineers to arrange folders according to the operation.

      Reorganizing folders would be an extremely helpful addition to PI Vision.
