NetBox version

v2.11.0-dev

Feature type

New functionality

Proposed functionality

On the devices page it is possible to filter by locations already. It would be very handy to have the ability to select a location with an additional checkbox "Include children", preferably initially checked. If the checkbox is checked every device in the chosen location and every device in all locations that are children of the chosen location should be shown.

Use case

Let's assume you have many nested locations (e.g. 5 floors, containing 20 rooms each). In order to get an overview of all devices belonging to a floor and all the rooms it contains you have to choose 21 locations in the filter pane.

In contrast it's necessary to choose just one location (and probably a checkbox) with this feature.

Database changes

none

External dependencies

none

The location filter (like the filters for region, site group, etc.) is hierarchical in nature: You only need to select the floor, and it will match all devices assigned to either the floor or to a location within the floor.

I'm sorry, but I would have sworn that I have tested exactly that scenario and got another result. I have to admit that you're right.

Probably I had the locations view in mind. If you go to locations and select e.g. Floor 1 then only devices belonging to exactly that location are being listed. That might be intended. I'd prefer a resursive view.

I'm not sure if we misunderstood each other but this seems to be not implemented in the current feature branch.

See this:
