[racktables-users] Re: Just an Idea... Request.

Built in reports on Tags top-50 are available once the tags are assigned. 

Goto the Main page --> Reports

If you know SQL you can generate custom reports.
In the next few days I am probably going to create a php page to display hardware in a custom layout. If its not to long, I'll share it.
It would be a nice feature to be able to create custom reports under the Reports page. Then you could access the reports any time. One report I would create is a detailed server list with (name, hw type, os, comment, IP addresses, Status tag...), and in Internet Explorer you can right click on HTML tables to export that table into Excel, you could share reports.

What is sounds like your trying to do is keep track of status. I would do that using tags, so create a tag tree similar to below to handle this. Then simply add the appropriate tags to he objects. You can then use these tags to filter the views. 


Under Main page --> Configuration --> Tag tree
click Edit and add Status with NONE as the parent since this will be the parent. Then add all the status codes you want with Status as their parent. For servers with a problem use the Object properties "Has problem" checkbox. That way the object will show as red under the rack view. 


Status
  - new
  - design
  - dev
  - test
  - prod
  - retired


Hope this helps,
Ernie

Hi all,
First I would like to day that Racktables is a GREAT Product, and to thank you guys for the hard work and effort.
I am in the middle of hardware replacement / upgrades of some of our servers. We have what we call a Add, Update and Delete, this sparked a flag on my tiny mind and decided to sak for a request of the software. 

I was wondering if the code could be modified so that the "H
MainPage: Object: Server: serverName, Has Problems be changed to Server Status. An this can be a 1 digit code. 1 decomissioned, 2 has problems, 3 prod, 4 development, 5, new. 

Thanks,,

Luis
