NetBox version

v3.5-beta1

Feature type

Change to existing functionality

Proposed functionality

Allow the Object Count and Object Lists widgets on the Dashboard to accept filters per selected object type in the same way as object filters work on the normal pageview URL, e.g. "manufacturer_id=5&platform_id=15&cf_fieldname=xyz" or "filter_id=1".
Ideally the identifier for this would have it's own label, because in the example "Devices" is kinda non-descriptive when filters are applied.

Use case

Advantages include:

  • Controlling your personal assigned "IT-assets under management"
  • Easier inventory control
  • Quick linking to relevant information

Database changes

New field to save the filter and its name

External dependencies

No response

I have the exact same feature suggestion. There are a lot of use cases, e.g. not displaying deactivated or disconnected items, or being able to separately list objects that belong to different realms such as sites, tenants etc., so this would really improve the dashboard functionality a lot.
