Add the field Facility to the Location model
NetBox version
v3.6.3
Feature type
Data model extension
Proposed functionality
Add the field facility to the Location model the same way it's done on the Site model
Use case
Most of the time the Facility is not a whole building but rather a Suite (Location) in a building (Site). You may also have more than one Facility inside the same Site or have a single facility in a suite in the building but also other tenants in their own Locations which are not part of that Facility.
For example: 151 Front St., Toronto, ON Canada; Canada's largest Carrier Hotel. Equinix TR1: Suite 706 Neutral Data Toronto: Suite 800 BELL Canada: Suite 605 Coloware YTZ1: Suite 504 Cologix TOR1: Suite 602 eStruxture TOR-1: Suite 341 Aptum: Suite 402 ... and many others
Being able to document this Facility name/ID in a consistent manner across NetBox seems only reasonable.
Database changes
A new CharField, facility needs to be added to the Location model.
We can use the Site model for reference.
External dependencies
None
Agreed, we have POPs in many locations where the location is a suite that acts as a Provider's facility
