Environment

  • Python version: 3.6
  • NetBox version: 2.5.2

Proposed Functionality

In connection with the work on the html5 Rackview https://github.com/digitalocean/netbox/issues/2248 the adding of devices should be simplified.

There should be a general button to add a device and not single links within the rack.

Use Case

image

Since in the future SVG view possibly the individual links per empty device 1HU will be omitted, this type should be revised foresightedly.
For this there should be a general "Add Device" button in the rack view.
Maybe For this the idea of https://github.com/digitalocean/netbox/issues/1830#issuecomment-453016039 could also be included too.?

Database Changes

No

External Dependencies

No

The individual rack units within an SVG rendering will still be linked. No need for yet another button.
