Originally created by @bluikko on GitHub (Sep 2, 2021).

Originally assigned to: @991jo on GitHub.

NetBox version

v3.0.1

Feature type

Change to existing functionality

Proposed functionality

Currently in the "Elevations" view the devices that are assigned to the opposite side of the current view are shown in hatched red color. This is great, but the devices aren't currently clickable / links.
I do not see any reason why they wouldn't be clickable - it would save switching between front/back if the red hatched devices were clickable.

Use case

Make the UX better and avoid unnecessary switches between front/back just to be able to click a device.

Database changes

None.

External dependencies

None.

IMO this can get confusing in very busy/disorganized racks. You're typically going to be looking at the front and rear faces side-by-side anyway.

This is true for the single rack view and there's no issue there I think. My OP was considering the "Elevations" that currently displays only one side.
I guess one other option could be in addition to "Front" and "Rear" buttons, there could be "Both" that displays rack fronts in the upper row and backs in the lower row; not side-by-side since all the racks are in the same row.

@bluikko commented on GitHub (Nov 16, 2021):

Not sure if I explained it well in the OP.
I meant devices at the opposite rack face that are "full depth" - the ones shown in red/with hatch in the U.
I did not mean the "not full depth" devices at the opposite rack face that are currently not drawn at all - making them visible & clickable would indeed make a mess I think.

An example/PoC of this is at b816ab611d

I hit this issue today and can take a look at it and the code already submitted by @bluikko, get it to work and submit a PR.

Hi!

It seems like clicking on the far end is now working only in case no image is available. When selecting the view (labels only) I'm able to click on both ends of a device. If I select (image + labels) I can only click on the front of a device.
I think it should work in both views.
