Hi,
New custom fields are created in
Configuration -> Attributes -> edit attributes
You can couple them to object types in
Configuration -> Attributes -> edit map
I for example added
Dc line id
Z-side cage
Z-side contract
Z-side Owner
Z-side patch panel
Z-side phone number
Z-side port
Z-side rack
You can also make drop down lists through type dictionary record. I did
that to select vendors
Create those in configuration -> dictionary
How you handle the interconnect objects is personal preference.
You can do per vendor, and do all port of that vendor in there. I create an
object per contract usually only 1 port per contract.
Regards
Ramon

Hi Ramon,
Thanks, that actually makes sense.
I see that racktables is very customizable, more than I thought :-)
Per dc I create a virtual rack, and I have created a object type
interconnect. And I added fields to put contract name phone number and more.
I created a 1U rack in the demo environment and added a new object type
called “Interconnect” and put it in the 1U rack.
Where do you create those new fields?
For every line to my dmarc I back link. To the interconnect object
Alright, so it’s just 1 Interconnect object you link everything to.

The way I do it

This way I have a full a to z path.

Hello,
I noticed that you can only add a cable ID (or circuit ID?) to a link
when you link two devices and their interfaces together.
Now, in a datacenter, it’s common to have many external cables from 3rd
parties coming in to your rack.
These cables or patches usually have some sort of a ID that identifies
them and separates them from other cables.
This ID is known by both us and the external third party.
Is there a way to attach a cable / circuit ID to an interface?
