NetBox version

v3.5.0

Feature type

Change to existing functionality

Proposed functionality

Add circuits to the site details page with their name, provider, type, status. Similar as already the ASN, Contacts, Locations are shown.

Use case

We found that users find it often hard to locate the circuits that belong to a specific site.
When navigating to a sites, users have to find the 'related objects' and click on the count to quickly see the circuits in use in a specific site.

Database changes

No response

I tend to disagree as we risk cluttering the page - all the other objects in a site stem from the same "issue", which is mitigated by looking at the object filters when you click through to the circuits page (https://demo.netbox.dev/circuits/circuits/?site_id=22&site_id=6&site_id=8).

There are many types of objects which relate directly to a site, and attempting to display them all would result in an extremely heavy, convoluted view. It's for these reasons that we simply display a count of each associated object type with a link to the relevant filtered list.

Thank you. We do already have various other lists on that page like contacts, locations, non racked devices. I feel that the amount of relations between all different objects in the gui have been growing over time and this will help users find their way more easily.
