Add “Other Devices” in the rack layout

Hi,

I´m still struggling with how I can add an device to my rack layout that I don´t have connection to. I just want it to be visible in the rack layout, and not generate an element.

Hi Thomaz,

I believe you are referring to the IDP Facility Management feature and currently it is only possible to add there devices that are represented in DataMiner as elements.

Hi João,

Yes, I referring to the IDP Facility Management and I will not use licenses for elements that I don´t use. I will make a suggestion for this.

Thanks for your answer.

You could also list up all your passive devices in a table in a virtual element and display those in a similar fashion onto your rack visual overview. We did something similar in the past using following connector: https://catalog.dataminer.services/result/driver/5855

That connector just stores these devices in a table and you can define for each of them on which rack (view name) it should appear, the unit position, unit height, … On your visual overview it’s a matter of dynamically showing rows from that table using a subscription filter to show only the devices from [this view].

(I’ll check if I can find the corresponding visual overview for it and share it here)
