Environment

  • Python version: 3.6
  • NetBox version: 2.5.2

Proposed Functionality

Enhancement for PopUp Content (Rack-View) with own definable show context (Admin-Site / Global Settings).
Actually we display at hovering on Device inside a Rack-View the

  • Management - Role
  • Device - Device Type
  • Device - Serial Number

(Sadly without the titling before every Value!)
It should be show as (e.g) / (maybe cutting the titling Value?) :

  • Management-Role: OOB Switch
  • Device - Device Type: Opengear CM4148 (1U)
  • Device - Serial Number: 98273942938

As everyone use another part of needing Informations who has to be displayed in the PopUp we should implement something dynamic selectable.

I thought about something like we actually do for e.g. webhook (Admin-Page / Add).
We could bring in a new Sektion on the Admin-Page named e.g. Device-Tooltip and show the "Object types" as a selectable Menu.

Inside this multiselection we should show all the Object Types for:

  • Device
  • Management
  • Tags
  • Own builded custom field from (dcim>device) and (dcim>rack)

Use Case

As every Use Case is difficult, some Organisations need other Informations on ToolTip for quick showable.

With this Implementation the Admin(s) define Global Showable Content for the PopUp.

Database Changes

Yes

External Dependencies

Maybe not, Maybe Yes with something external like "Two-side Multi Select"
