Hi Sonny, Not quite, I was just thinking about painting over the VMs that you want to select before selecting the action.
Say you have to select 1000 VMs, even though using the APIs is most likely going to be used, being able to quickly paint over to select them would be much easier than checking 1000 boxes. You probably know about 3tera (http://www.ca.com/us/cloud-platform.aspx), they had/have some crazy drag and drop on canvas GUI to manage VMs, it might be worth a look. -sebastien On Oct 12, 2012, at 7:48 PM, Sonny Chhen <sonny.ch...@citrix.com> wrote: > Thanks Kelcey. > > Sebastian, > > Do you mean drag the selected vm's over the action icons?
