NetBox version

v3.2.7

Feature type

Change to existing functionality

Proposed functionality

Many object views within NetBox include buttons to create new child objects. For example, the site view has buttons to add a new device, contact, location, etc.

add_object_buttons

Currently, these buttons are scattered around the page, with each appearing beneath or next to a relevant table of child objects. This issue proposes to move these buttons to a single "Add" dropdown menu toward the top of the page (next to the edit & delete buttons).

Use case

Consolidating these buttons into a single dropdown menu per object view will help reduce clutter on the page, and ensure that the user can always easily locate a link for the desired action. It will also help to encourage the addition of more links where appropriate.

What about plugins that inject content/tables in there. Should there be a way to add items to this drop-down?

Not allowing this would make the UX less consistent.
