The Dictionary of objects should include rack unit for that object. This would make it possible to place objects in a rack with a single to three clicks and have the correct rack units marked as taken by that object. It would also help speed rack layout for those that can never remember is that device 2 or 4 units, 10 or 16 units.
Here's my thoughts on how this could work. Create a variable/drop down called fill type with the following options: - manual (current mode of manual selecting each checkbox)- autofill up (fills from current checked boxes up to fill correct number of rack units) - autofill down (fills from current checked boxes down to fill correct number of rack units)
There should also be error checking to warn and not commit if there are not enough units available.
