I have been evaluating RackTables for use in my development datacenter and have 
found some things that I have questions/comments about.


It would be nice if the User Accounts system would allow user definable 
attributes to be applied. I would like to be able to add things like phone 
number, cube, manager information to a user account. Another nice feature would 
be for you to be able to grant default permissions to a user upon creation.

In the Objects View, A view type of "unmounted" would be nice. If I add 
multiple device objects with different hardware types, I have to go to each 
group that I added an object to. I am also not seeing a way to transfer a 
device between userids.

Is there a way to define an object that can appear in multiple locations? 
Things like wire managers would benefit from being able to be in multiple 
locations. It is tedious to create multiple wire managers with unique names for 
every rack.

I am using a svn version with the time machine. Something has changed in the 
Rack sort order in Rackspace. It sorts properly in 16.6. In the newer versions  
it does things like: A1 A10 A11 A12 A13 A14 A15 A16 A17 A18 A19 A2 A20.
