Originally created by @dionrowney on GitHub (Sep 3, 2024).

NetBox version

v4.0.7

Feature type

New functionality

Proposed functionality

Selectable text only version or printable view that prints nicer cable trace

Use case

We often have cable paths with 3-4+ hops from device to device through panels.

Our technicians would often like to have a paper version in the field.

Our legacy system allowed users to print off the path in about 2 inches on a single page. If you print the trace in netbox the SVG makes it about 6 pages.

I was able to make a script to do this but it is not easy nor convenient and I cannot add a custom button/link to the trace screen.

Would having a selectable text version or print view that prints nicer be possible? There is already a SVG link, can we have a Text Version Link under that?

Database changes

none

External dependencies

none

This should probably be implemented as a plugin.

Can plugins add to the existing trace screen? If it should I dont know how to do that.

@dionrowney @arthanson means you'll need to develop a custom plugin to provide a separate view providing the data the way you want to see it displayed. This isn't something we'll pursue in core NetBox.
