Environment

  • Python version: 3.6.8
  • NetBox version: 2.7.7

Proposed Functionality

In the "Rack Elevation" or "Rack" View I would like to have the possibility to also document Items which are currently not devices, such as Rack-Panales or cable management items.
So I would like to have the possibility to add those Items to Racks.

In the best case it would be good if these Items are not devices since I don't see there a need to have unique Names/IDs or the need of Manufacturors.

Use Case

Within this functionality you could depict the Rack as it is with all the passive components

These should be modeled as devices in NetBox. Please see the discussion #417.
