Indent child locations in Site view #7783
Description
NetBox version
3.0.9
Feature type
Change to existing functionality
Proposed functionality
When viewing a site the locations widget lists all parent and child locations with the same level of indentation (none). This can make it difficult to understand the relationship between parent/child locations.
A few possible proposals:
- Intend child locations. The list is already ordered based on parent/child relationship so intending would improve usability.
- Change the icon of a child location to make it easily distinguishable from a parent.
- Make the location widget expand/collapse. Initially show only parents and allow the row to be clicked to expand to display children
Use case
We operate a campus with multiple buildings, each building has multiple floors with 1-2 IDF's per floor. In Netbox, each building is defined as location with a child location per IDF. Visually the list when looking at the Site view is difficult to follow as all locations appear with the same hierarchy / indentation level.
