Feature Req: Map Maker:: Shared Elements

Question

Hi,

Just a thought that when you are designing the new map maker if it was possible to add the functionality of having shared elements across maps.

For example. You may have two or more maps which share common elements such as core devices etc, which if you change you dont want to have to go to all the maps and alter the objects. If you were able to create a shared element which was then added to the various maps and any changes that need to be made are done on the base element and subsequently represented in associated maps.

Hope this makes sense

I think it's feasible, but it's not going to happen in the next version.  That's about all I can say with confidence.

Thanks Denny,

Do you think that the idea of groups element maps are feasible or unrealistic ?

I suppose that if Map Maker where to have the ability to dynamically create maps then this may be a solution, however I suppose you would want map maker to create a map based on a custom property for example building, have the option to move around the nodes and allow it to update the interfaces and connections (if it then used something like CDP) dynamically.

While dynamic maps won't be in the next version, it's something we very much want to deliver soon.
