NetBox version

v3.3.8

Feature type

Change to existing functionality

Proposed functionality

When viewing a rack, you have the 'previous' and 'next' button.
image

Add a 'dropdown' between those 2 buttons, so that all racks of a location (or site if no location is set) are selectable
image

Use case

This will provide a faster navigation between the racks.
Another option, is to display all racks in a full-width bar with horizontal scrolling

I also like this idea. Racktables had a left and right button when viewing a rack to quickly move between racks in a row. It was useful if for getting to the rack ether side of current rack in a single click

@jeremystretch I found the BS classes to auto hide/show the 2 different navs, depending on the size of the screen.
I like it :-)

The bar might get pretty wide when there are a lot of racks in one site.. Maybe a 'pagination' style would be a better approach, showing only 3 racks before and 3 racks behind the current rack, with arrows
