Environment

  • Python version: 3.6.9
  • NetBox version: 2.8.4

Proposed Functionality

It would be useful for planned devices to be indicated as such in the rack elevations view. There are several ways to achieve this, and I think the easiest most compliant with the netbox philosophy should be taken. I am not prescribing a way to do it, but possible approaches could be:

  • Show these planned status devices just like rack reservations because they are one in the same, just a reservation with more details and a status to track the lifecycle
  • Tool tip update next to the item in the rack view
  • Some sort of other visual representation of the status being planned with dotted instead of solid lines for the shape, a faded background color, or different font style. All of these items may be challenging to apply to devices with an image associated to the device type.
  • Something else I am not thinking of

Use Case

Ability to understand what is truly "reserved" ie including planned devices.

Database Changes

I think this should be minimal since I am proposing a webui tweak.
