NetBox version

v3.1.6

Feature type

Data model extension

Proposed functionality

Allow for an optional webpage URL to be associated with a Contact

Use case

Almost all vendors, telco providers and customers provide a central web portal interface to handle various workflows such as incidents, billing, etc. Since all Contact fields are optional, this will easily fill the gap and provide a generic contact entry point to some Contact portal.

Database changes

New field of type URL for Contact model.

External dependencies

None afaik

Couldn't this be solved by adding a custom field to the contact? I checked and contacts supports custom fields.

Yes correct. I already implemented it as a custom field. But my point is that a Contact is not necessarily a physical person, and the above use cases are almost inevitable in a production environment.

I'm going to add this as a general-purpose "Link" model for contacts.
