I am running a chunk of workshops that requires users to move content from a number of smart containers to a number of others, but am having some trouble with the user experience:

Some users are moving the entire set of smart containers around the board by mistake (by accidentally dragging it rather than the content/shapes), which is then making it difficult for multiple users to use at once.

I can lock the entire set but then users cannot move the content/shapes between the smart containers at all and I am able to lock the individual smart containers in place so users can move the content/shapes between the boxes - but neither of these solve my problem……….

Is there a way I can lock just the position of the set of smart containers?

Hi @James2750, thank you for posting in the community!

It is possible to select the individual containers and lock them in position such as the ‘Low’ container in my example below. This would still allow the individual tasks to still be moved around.

Could you please confirm if this is what you are looking for, or are you are hoping to lock the yellow container ‘frame’ shown in the screenshot above in place so that the grey containers can still be moved around within that frame?

If not, could you please share a screenshot to help me better understand the issue? Thank you in advance!

Hi there,

Yes I’m trying to lock the entire yellow container frame to stop one user moving it for all workshop participants, but when I can only lock in it such a way the content inside it cannot be moved - which then removes the ability to complete the activity in my workshop.
