Feature type

Change to existing functionality

Proposed functionality

Currently when looking at Rack Elevations in the Rack Elevations tab, there is only the option to look at either the Front and Rear views.

It would be useful if we could look at both the Front and Rear views for the racks simultaneously as a Third Option. The below is how I envisage the function may work after mucking around with the HTML editor in Chrome.

I know this view is available on an individual rack basis, but it would be handy if this could be extended to the Elevations view to look across a number of racks simultaneously.

Use case

When looking at a suite of racks, it may be useful to users to be able to look at both the Front and Rear view of their racks simultaneously.

For example, in our environment we have a large number of half-depth (or less) devices which are racked back-to-back and it would be useful to be able to see both sides of the rack across a number of racks at the same time.
