NetBox version

v3.1.8

Feature type

New functionality

Proposed functionality

Currently, when creating reports. The user may add the time, level, object, and a message to each entry. My suggestion is to add multiple columns besides and object and a message to the report.

Use case

There might be different data that has to be reported to the user. It would add to the convenience if the user would be presented with all the data relevant on a single page in different columns.

Database changes

The format of reports is fixed by design. If you want to export arbitrary data, you should instead use an export template, custom script, or a custom plugin to generate exactly what you need.
