Last visited overview on startpage

[PieterL75]

NetBox version

v3.0.10

Feature type

New functionality

Proposed functionality

Keep track of the objects that have been visited last and frequently.
This can be displayed on the dashboard (or even in a dropdown on the top of each page), so that it is easier to navigate.

Use case

When working in netbox, I frequently have to go back to the prefix, device, .. when I added a child item.
Also, when returning to netbox the day after, I want to be able to easy go back to where I was the day before.

The dropdown on the toppage, will give the fastest navigation possbilities

Database changes

A new table needs to be created that will contain

• user
• object type
• object id
• last visited
• times visited

External dependencies

This proposal doesn't seem to cover list views. Nonetheless where a filtered view is requested.
For example a site filtered view of devices, additionally filtered by device-type.

Would be nice to have those in the history list as well.

I would expect something like this to be implemented outside the database entirely, by simply caching the URL in Redis each time a user visits a new UI page. That should avoid introducing too much overhead or filling the database with cruft.

I'm going to close this out as I believe the proposed functionality is met and exceeded by the custom dashboard introduced in v3.5.
