Environment

  • Python version: 3.7.6
  • NetBox version: 2.7.6

Proposed Functionality

The Rack Elevations view currently doesn't display rack roles in any form, which can make correlation between the rack list and the elevations view confusing.
I propose showing the rack role pill - or a compressed version of the same, or simply the role colour - on the rack elevations view as well, perhaps above/below/beside the rack name or ID.

Use Case

Showing the rack role in the elevations view helps unify the information displayed between the two, making it easier for people visually browsing the elevations view to reason about the rack contents.
