Allow for multiple groups / classes for locations & sites

Feature type

Data model extension

Proposed functionality

Hi,

Thank you for your incredible work on netbox.

I would like to be able to add a "Room Types" field to the "location" and/or "sites" model.
This would allow one to filter the data based on fileds like : floor, room type (technical, office, ...), whatever you feel like.

Location :

I've tried to use a "Custom Field" using "Site Groups" as classes and having them in a list :

However, despite this, the location object isn't "linked" to the selected site groups therefore making filtering impossible :

Sites :

For sites, it is only possible to add one "Group Site". Having a list of "Group Sites" rather than a single entry could make the functionality described above operational.

Thanks for your help and time !

Use case

As explained above, this could be usefull to sort locations/rooms based on their "memberships".
Examples :

• I want to only see the rooms on "floor 1"
• I want to see the "server" rooms "on floor 3"

This is mostly relevant for topology views.

Database changes

Location :

• New table : dcim_location_group
• New column in dcim_location : group_ids (list of groups)

Sites :

• Alter column in dcim_site : group_id becomes group_ids (list of groups)
