Snipe-it: Customizing the default view in /hardware

[ghost]

Expected Behavior (or desired behavior if a feature request)

Customizing the default view:
What I want is very simple: When a user loggs-in into Snipe-IT and goes to /hardware, I want a different view there, and being still there, if the cookies are deleted.

---

Actual Behavior

As and Admin, I can't customize the default view in /hardware.

I don't understand what you mean by custom view. Can you explain, and/or provide mockups?

[ghost]

I'd like the Id field to be already checked by default and would like to move my 1 custom field set, which consists of 4 new fields, to the left, next to the Id field, because those 4 new fields are located at the right-hand side, far away from the first Id field.
I also would like to uncheck an already by default existing and by default checked field Einkaufspreis, because the 1 custom field set contains a similar field. But Einkaufspreis isn't used because that newly added custom field set contains a fieldname that is used somewhere else and so for also naming conventions reasons, Einkaufspreis is not used, but a custom price field name. What also would work I guess is if Einkaufspreis could be renamed and added to the 1 custom field set, I tried, but didn't find anything. So I'd be ok with unchecking Einkaufspreis and not using it.

[EarlRamirez]

@passboltUser are you referring to

or actually moving the columns from left to right?

[snipe]

Selected columns are saved via cookie. There is currently no way to reorder columns. (We've tried to use the JS library that would permit that, but a bug in the library conflicts with other libraries already in use.)

[ghost]

@EarlRamirez Yes, I'm referring to the picture you attached (where I want certain checkmarks to be checked by default and certain columns be on different positions by default if an user loggs in without any cookies i.e. not relying on settings being saved in cookies).

Of course it's still relevant..

I'd really like to have it.

[snipe]

I’d be willing to look at a PR for this, but I have to be honest and say this is definitely not on our development roadmap right now.

[ghost]

Thanks for info. Then I guess this can be staled by the bot, may someone else reply if interested.

[tohagan]

We'd also need this feature. Thanks!

Just installed Snipe IT and I would really like to reorder columns. There is certain data that I think goes better together and I'd like to have it more to the left and be able to just control the column order.

[TrishF81]

Our team just discovered Snipe IT, and we would really love the ability to move the columns around. We have our assets displayed in a way that works for our team in Excel, and would like it to be the same in Snipe IT.

[captainlinky]

We would also like this feature implemented. It would greatly improve the products functionality.

[ChrissGuthrie]

This would be very helpful, since my custom fields -- the fields most important to me-- are far off to the right and I have to scroll to the bottom and all the way across each line to access them.

[hellphish]

We'd love to be able to reorder columns. @snipe what was the bug that conflicted with another library you posted about in May '18? Is there a chance it has been fixed now?

[tomholovis]

Giving this a poke so that it doesn't go stale. The larger our Snipe usage becomes, the more custom columns are added and are set to be viewed by default. Setting a default "view" would be very helpful.

[TJucutan]

I'd like to have this as well. It'd be nice to have the Manufacturer column next to Model for example.

[j-moran]

Definitely still a relevant feature. In an enterprise environment where reports and data are essential for viewing it would be really nice to be able to organize data according to our needs.

[da64u]

Please allow columns to be reordered. I was trying to move the Checkin/Checkout box to the left side and realized this limitation.

[bcourtade]

Being able to set a default column selection would be nice. Currently the first step in our documentation for new users is for them to click the column box and uncheck all of the extra fields we've added so that check-in/check-out fits on the screen.

[wfillmer]

The ability to re-order the columns on the "All Assets" view would be a fantastic improvement.

[Puddl36lum]

+1

[skizznat]

AssetTiger, which appears to be using Snipe-IT as their platform, has overcome the column arrangement limitation that appears to continue to vex the Snipe-IT devs. Not trying to steer folks to AT but just saying that it's possible to fix the problem.

[PartTimeJS]

A bump for implementing this, please.

[Tezameru]

+1 as well. Still needed.
