Add Cable Length to Connections/Cables Filter #8244
Description
NetBox version
v3.1.3
Feature type
Change to existing functionality
Proposed functionality
In Connections -> Cables -> Filters I would like to ask to extend the filter function with cable length.
Currently the Filter supports:
Site, Rack, Device
Type, Status, Color
An additional filter for the cable length would be helpful as described in the use case.
Use case
The use case is to filter out the cables not only by type, status or color but also by length to ease the creation of a BOM (bill of material process).
A typical BOM might list type, color, length and qty and might be in a spreadsheet handed over to a supplier.
Cat6A | Grey | 2 meters -> 50
Cat6A | Grey | 1 meters -> 50
Cat6A | Blue | 2 meters -> 20
OM4 | Aqua | 1 meters -> 10
By adding the length as a Filter we can transfer the qty (result of filter) in a BOM spreadsheet easily because we don't need to count every single cable in the result.
