Smart Containers with 2 groupings

Current smart containers only allow 1 grouping the grouping becomes the container (box) and shapes are rendered into it. Can we have another level like box in a box meaning 2 level of grouping before shapes are rendered.

Hi @Jshood, thank you for continuing this post!

The container shapes mentioned in Tate’s reply above can be found in the shape library under ‘Flowchart Shapes/Containers’. You can enable this shape library by clicking the blue ‘More Shapes’ button and searching for ‘Flow chart containers’.

To use this library, make sure you check the box next to ‘Containers’ and click the blue ‘Use selected shapes’ button to confirm. 


Unlike smart containers, the containers in that library allow you to have layers of containers to group your objects and they can each be moved individually. See the GIF below for a quick demonstration! 
 


If you have access to the feature, you could pair this with data-linked objects to visualise your imported data. 

I hope this helps! Feel free to let us know if you have any additional questions :)
