NetBox version

v4.2.2

Feature type

Data model extension

Proposed functionality

Manufacturers screen lists Device Types and Module Types but does not display Rack Types. It would be very helpful to have an option to include Rack Types from the “Configure Table” feature in the Manufacturers view.

This enhancement would make it easier to manage and reference all equipment types from one place, improving overall workflow and consistency.

Use case

Currently, users can assign manufacturers when creating rack types; however, there isn’t a straightforward way to view or filter these rack types by manufacturer within the interface.

It would be very helpful if NetBox provided a column by RackType from the manufacturer’s page. This improvement would:

Enhance Usability – Quickly locate all rack types associated with a specific manufacturer.
Streamline Workflows – Reduce the time spent searching for or cross-referencing rack types.

Thank you for considering this request

Database changes

No DB Change Require. Presentation request only

External dependencies

No dependencies. Presentation request only

You should see rack types listed under "related objects" to the right:

This model was added recently. Are you running NetBox v4.2?

Edit: Oh I see, you were referring to the list view. Yes, we should add a column for rack types.
