NetBox version

v2.11.1

Feature type

New functionality

Proposed functionality

It should be possible to assign tags to a location.

Use case

We have several locations where we need to hire someone to install new cables or to do some electrical installations. As we have two small cabinets in those locations we'd like to add a tag to the whole location that tells us that there is cable work to do. Having tags for locations would help us a lot.

Database changes

We use Tags for the Definition of "Tenants" and other needing Informations, we also need Tags on "Locations".

Currently, tags are supported only for primary models (sites, racks, IPs, VLANs, etc.) and device/VM components. If we were to extend support for tags, it would need to be for all organizational models (not just locations) to ensure consistency.
