Environment

  • Python version: 3.6.10
  • NetBox version: 2.7.11

Proposed Functionality

Standardize Breadcrumbs in IPAM and Devices

Currently, the breadcrumbs (I hope it's the right word) are not very useful when browsing IP addresses and prefixes, it's better for Devices and Organizational objects but it could be improved in my opinion :

Type Current After Comment
Device sitename / Racks / rackname / device sitename / Racks / rackgroup / rackname / tenant / device tenant link to devices of the tenant
Prefix Prefixes / prefix site / tenant / prefix tenant link to prefixes assigned to the tenant
IP Address IP Addresses / IPAddress IP Addresses / ParentPrefixName / TenantName / DeviceName / IPAddress include all parent prefixes ? Linked Device optional (already a link)

I'm sure missing some others objects that would benefit from an improvement, but before I dig more into it, is anyone interested ?

Use Case

Better navigation

Database Changes

None I think

External Dependencies

None

@DanSheps commented on GitHub (Apr 7, 2020):

Tenant doesn't form part of the hierarchy for most of these models, as such it doesn't make sense to include them in the breadcrumb.

Thanks for your input
Ok then, maybe not in breadcrumb but what about a way to quickly navigate to the list of prefixes with tenant filter on from the prefix details page ? Same for ip address and so on.
It could be done with custom link but I would prefer to have it integrated?

As @DanSheps pointed out, tenancy is not part of the hierarchy for these items, so it doesn't appear in the breadrcrumbs.

You'd have to open a new issue proposing specific changes, as this differs from the proposal in this FR.

Fine I'll open a new FR
Still I find breadcrumbs a bit not straightforward, at least for IP Addresses and Prefix; in contrast VLAN breadcrumbs are exactly the way I imagine them (link to the list with filter on)
