With a large number of devices and graphs in the system, adding graphs to trees becomes very tedious as you have to scroll through the list and you can only add one graph at a time. See the attached picture for the page I mean..
I think a better way to add graphs would be to have a page where you can filter the list of data sources list (similar to the "data sources" page) and pick one or more with checkboxes to add to the selected tree.

Thanks for that tip lanman, I didn't know you could add graphs to trees like that.
However, it still doesn't really fix the problem as you can't add to subtrees from there - only trees that are under the root. I suppose you could temporarily move a subtree out to the root and then add your graphs and then move the tree back to it's correct place but that is still a bit fiddly.
All it would need is a page very similar to graph management but with the top section of the "graph trees -> (edit)" page above it so you can select the proper subtree to add the graphs to.

That is not correct. in Step1 you must name the root tree. Clicking Go gives you another page. There (Step 2) you'll have a dropdown for the whole subtree of that root.time wrote:However, it still doesn't really fix the problem as you can't add to subtrees from there - only trees that are under the root.
