NetBox version

3.0.9

Feature type

Change to existing functionality

Proposed functionality

When viewing a site the locations widget lists all parent and child locations with the same level of indentation (none). This can make it difficult to understand the relationship between parent/child locations.

A few possible proposals:

  • Intend child locations. The list is already ordered based on parent/child relationship so intending would improve usability.
  • Change the icon of a child location to make it easily distinguishable from a parent.
  • Make the location widget expand/collapse. Initially show only parents and allow the row to be clicked to expand to display children

Use case

We operate a campus with multiple buildings, each building has multiple floors with 1-2 IDF's per floor. In Netbox, each building is defined as location with a child location per IDF. Visually the list when looking at the Site view is difficult to follow as all locations appear with the same hierarchy / indentation level.

Database changes

@jasonyates commented on GitHub (Nov 9, 2021):

The problem appears to be that padding-left no longer works in the site view template. Presumably with the recent changes to the bootstrap version.

The locations list in this view is also visually different to that of /dcim/locations

Yes, it's rather annoying.
