You don't have to do this one device at a time, you can select a block of them and replace all alerts at once (it does mean you have to redo the ones that were originally there though). This is only a problem when you have different notifications on different devices on one map. You could manually move the different devices together that have the same notifications, then select them all, but it's still not as nice as you describe. Of course, I'm talking version 6.02, so maybe version 7 has it and I don't know about it yet.
